ReviewSimbu plays a don with a golden heart who faces down revenge, treachery, and undercover cops with no help from the screenplay.TralierScreengrab/CourtesySonyMusicSouthLet me start this review with a scene from Pathu Thala, to acquaint you with the unrestrained absurdities of the plot. Simbu, playing Agr, a don, has the following conversation with his estranged sister at some point in the movie: “You’ve been angry with me all this while for killing off your husband. But did you ever ask your Annan [elder brother] why I killed him?” The sister looks stricken. No, she hadn’t thought to ask. Insert dramatic rain and a piece of even dramatic music. He proceeds to offer a paltry explanation that really doesn’t tell her much. She has no further quarrels. They are immediately happily reconciled. This conversation takes place on Agr’s birthday – one that he has refused to celebrate without his beloved sister’s greetings.

ReviewThe murder mystery revolves around 11 friends and a strange game they play with their phones out on the table.CrisPerhaps Kr Krishnakumar, the scriptwriter, was preparing us for the murder ahead when he introduces 11 people as a set of annoyingly superficial friends in 12th Man, the new thriller from the Jeethu Joseph-Mohanlal team. Why else would a bunch of grownups have such lousy conversations, passing on a secret like kindergarteners and generally making the accidental viewer squirm? Either the writer never paid attention when friends had conversations around him or else he wanted us to see how absurd this gang of people he had to write about were. Just so there is no surprise when one of them dies and all the others become suspects. There is of course the twelfth man, the stranger, coming into their midst, making things slightly interesting. Mohanlal, unsurprisingly, is the stranger at the resort...

Movie ReviewShamzu Zayba’s film tells the story of Ashokan, a short, dark man with a complex, who is hoping for a woman in his life.CrisA wedding, the bedroom decorated for the first night, a song followed by another and then a dream from which a man wakes up. The first few minutes of Maniyarayile Ashokan brings memories of tiresome sequences from past movies, but luckily someone changes the gear and the movie moves on to newer, likeable territory. Not an entirely untested one. Ashokan, played endearingly by Jacob Gregory, is your short, dark man with a complex, who is hoping for a woman in his life. He looks longingly at newly-weds in an it-could-have-been-me manner, and dreams all too often of weddings and twin children. The premise, at the onset, might remind you of Sreenivasan and his famous character Thalathil Dineshan of Vadakkunokki Yanthram. But Ashokan is not a suspicious man.
