Lazily we often term fate as God's mischievous play. A walk through a rope bridge, if you will. The ends of the bridge are anchored to firm objects, which remain intact and unchanged. The middle of the bridge can sway, fray, or even break, but as long as the ends stay fixed, the bridge's (now remains) and the state of falling apart, stand as a monument to witness.

Say the word Bangalore and the first thing that comes to my mind is the film 'Vandanam'. Vandanam is a movie that's pretty close to my heart. More of a comfort movie, if you will.  Inspired from the 1987 flick Stakeout , Priyadarshan has that knack to craft movie remakes that Malayalis can relate to, and end up embracing, as one of their own.

For people that enjoy and have a sense of morbid curiosity about what happens in the darker avenues of life, this genre is a definite route to escapism. Black is one such attempt from the famed Ranjith-Mammooty combination and I respect the superstar for choosing such a dark and complex subject and playing the role to perfection. Churned from actor Lal's own Lal Release, Karikamuri Shanmughan or Kumari is an iconic character in Mammootty's long alley of iconic career characters and holds an undoubted sense of swag to this day.   Credits - Blac...

 "A Ranjith Cinema" Spirit is not just another film from Mohanlal; it’s an introspective journey into the struggles of a man battling his own inner demons while critiquing the alcohol culture that plagues society. With Ranjith’s direction blending sharp wit and social commentary, "Spirit" delivers a compelling narrative that makes you question, laugh, and reflect. Is this just another attempt at social reform, or does it dig deeper into human complexities? A take on why Spirit remains a conversation starter even today.
