ReviewDirected by actor Vishnu Raghav and starring Keerthy Suresh and Tovino Thomas as advocates, ‘Vaashi’ is tightly packed and has some lovely performances.CrisVaashi does not drag, linger too much on the side stories, but gets straight to the point. The film, like the courtroom it is mostly set in, has much to tell in little time. Keerthy Suresh and Tovino Thomas, playing advocates, make it an interesting affair. It is not altogether a new theme – partners in life having to duel in the court. But the pace of the film and its treatment by Vishnu Raghav, an actor directing his first feature, is to be appreciated. The introductions happen quickly enough – Tovino as Ebin Mathew, a struggling lawyer without an office, Keerthy Suresh as Madhavi Mohan, a junior advocate who is not taken seriously, and Baiju, in a wonderful performance, as a mentor to both of them. Except for...

MollywoodThe film, an earnest effort about the inspirational life of an army Captain, has a promising beginning but doesn’t quite take off.Sowmya RajendranEdakkad Battalion 06 is an earnest effort about the inspirational life of an army Captain, played by a significantly ripped Tovino Thomas. The film begins with an elaborate voice-over, introducing the many characters in Shafeek Mohammed’s (Tovino) friends and family circle. The father who makes biryani for a living, the mother who’s a panchayat member, the sister who is planning to becoming a cop, the aunt who is equal parts nice and nasty, the childhood friend with his failed dream... it is a cosy set-up that debut director Swapnesh K Nair creates, while breaking a few stereotypes on the way. The promising beginning, however, doesn’t quite take off. Shafeek is something of a terror to the local youth who like to hang out on the bridge over a culvert,...
