ReviewDirector Indhu Vs has made a daring, promising debut with her unambiguous politics, which is the biggest plus of the film.Lakshmi PriyaDisney+ Hotstar“I have only done what people expect from me so far,” Nithya Menen’s unnamed character tells a journalist halfway through the film 19(1)(a), amid what seems like Nithya’s first slightly rebellious act. She is a woman stuck in routine, struggling to keep her widowed and depressed father’s photocopy shop afloat in a village in Kerala, more resigned than happy in her small world. The film’s initial sequences are an apt reflection of her life, ebbing and flowing calmly, with no loud overtures or theatrics. Things begin to change with the entry of Vijay Sethupathy’s Gauri Shankar, a writer and activist named with purpose — no doubt, a reference to slain journalist Gauri Lankesh. It is through him that the reason behind the film’s name,...

As we have mentioned many times recently, there has been a new tendency in Asian cinema, of combining a mainstream base, of a sci-fi or a horror for example, with intense art-house and experimental elements. Krishnendu Kalesh, who has a mixed media background, also moves into this direction, with a film that shares many similarities regarding its unusual approach, with Vietnamese “Taste”, one of the most interesting titles of last year’s Berlinale.

ReviewThe gripping screenplay and good performances ensure that 'Joseph' doesn't disappoint.Sowmya RajendranScreenshot.M Padmakumar's Joseph is an investigative thriller, a popular genre which has given us many memorable films when executed well. It's a dream opportunity for 'Minimon' Joju George, who has so far excelled in supporting roles; and he takes up the challenge admirably. Throughout the film, Joju is given superstar treatment, right from the introduction sequence to how everyone around him is in awe of his prowess. Even before he steps into the frame, we know of his legacy and with a few deft strokes, Padmakumar gives us a good idea about who Joseph is and what he's capable of. He's the kind of guy who has a glass of alcohol and cigarette before brushing his teeth. A loner who moves slowly like a large animal but is swift when he's on the hunt. The first chapter...
