Kochi, Jan 17 (Ians) Kerala High Court pointed out to increasing intolerance when it comes to matters of faith by referring to petition against a scene in an upcoming Malayalam film ‘Antony’ where a gun is placed in a Bible.
“Should we be so intolerant that even for a passing reference to a book you should take up objection? Even if it is Bible, doesn’t there need to be a negative reference or connotation for you to object,” asked Justice Ramachandran.
The Court remarked that whatever be the holy text used in the scene, some section would be unhappy.
“Bible is used to hide a gun so Christians are unhappy. If it is Gita, Hindus will become unhappy. If it is Quran, Muslims will be unhappy,” the judge said.
He added that such scenes were frequently there in English movies from 1960s and 70s.

Antony is the new film directed by Joshiy, and it has its own universe that it’s trying to sell. There have been many ‘father-son’ stories in cinema, but Antony has a father-daughter conflict right at the heart of its plot. The interesting thing about the film is that it is filled with violent action scenes, slow-motion shots, and loud Bgm, and all this tries to hide the fact that we are watching a melodrama unfold where a young girl wants a father figure in her life and thinks she has found it in a goon. It is a hard sell for various reasons, but conviction in the story and its execution is evident, which is why Antony becomes an entertaining potboiler with a charismatic performance by Joju George.

Antony Movie Review Rating:
Star Cast: Joju George, Kalyani Priyadarshan, Chemban Vinod Jose, Nyla Usha
Director: Joshiy
Antony Movie Review Out ( Photo Credit – IMDb )
What’s Good: Joju George’s robust performance as Antony stands out, breathing life into a character that remains captivating despite its shades of grey. The on-screen chemistry between Joju and Chemban Vinod Jose injects warmth into the film. The portrayal of strong female characters, particularly Kalyani Priyadarshan’s Mma-trained Ann Maria, adds depth to the narrative.
What’s Bad: Lackluster writing hampers the film’s potential, with underdeveloped characters and contrived situations. The antagonists, despite elaborate introductions, the antagonists fade away towards the end, leaving the climax feeling rushed. The film struggles to evoke necessary emotions in crucial scenes due to shallow writing.
Loo Break: Around the 1-hour and 10-minute mark, a brief interlude occurs with a Christian song lasting only around 2 minutes. This...

Malayalam superstar Joju George’s film ‘Antony’ has released its official teaser. An action-thriller-drama film, the movie sees the actor in a new avatar as a hardened, brutal, and not-to-be-messed-with police officer.
The teaser is somewhat vague on the details regarding the storyline, though it seems that some murders have been taking place by an underground network of gangsters, who are without any mercy.
The police who are investigating the murders then take the name of Antony, who is played by Joju George. An old bearded man, Antony appears to be a kind of brutal killer as he walks on to the water in slow-mo with a cleaver in hand.
Investigating what is going on, Antony ends up fighting a bunch of thugs whom he ends up making minced meat out of using a cricket bat, as he bashes their heads on the ground. Joju George appears to be a very silent,...
