Malayalam movies are still upto the standard. Although, there are no exceptional movies like in the 80s and 90s it's much better than other language movies, where you always feel 'paisa vasool';

Veruthe Oru Bharya’ is one of the best films of recent times, dealing with domestic marriage discords resulting from mismatched characters of two people who stick to their incompatible agendas. It may hit too close to home for some; others might not key in on the psychology, but find it as a digestible fun-filled drama with light hearted moments. Jayaram, after a long gap, scores heavily in a role that is tailor made for his capabilities. He invites claps as never before, when imitating the singing styles of all heroes from yester year, Prem Nazir to today's Mammootty. Gopika looks evidently younger that what the role demands, but make better by convincing act in her complex title role as Bindu. She makes a poignant cake walk through the role, delivers majority of the dialogues and at times appear strong and scared at alternate scenes. Nivedita also shines as their daughter. Rahman and Ganesh kumar appear in short cameos.

Twenty: 20’ and its makers were there all over the net, news channels, and other media for quite some time. This mother of multistarrer '' being the most hyped movie of our times, there is only one big question to answer.... Does it live up to the expectations? The answer is a big 'YES'.What works heavily for ‘Twenty: 20’ is that it lives up to its name-just like a 20:20 match, you can't predict what will happen in the next reels. Just when you fix this as the last twist in the tale, will arrive the next that will keep you in tight seats.Personally, I feel, Mohanlal has got more scope than Mammootty and he handles the role with ease. Mammootty as advocate is prefect. But it is suresh gopi, who steals the show many a times from below superstars feet. Dileep, Manoj K Jayan, Madhu, Siddhique and Jayaram also have some solid characterizations, which they have done extremely well . Noted Missing actors are Nedumudi Venu, Murali, Thilakan, Ganeshkumar, Devan, Shankar etc. Only the songs department is very weak with no songs leaves mark. All in all, a masala movie ,that delivers good entertainment.
Was waiting for the SRK-Aditya Chopra film for long time. And that too was lucky to watch this movie in my favourite Theatre Thrissur RAGAM.

Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi
It's a journey filled with laughter, tears, joy, pain, music, dance and a lot of love. A journey that makes us believe that there is an extraordinary love story in every ordinary jodi. And is a true SRK movie; and SRK is not disappointing. But...the biggest flaw is that how come a woman fails to recognize her husband with a slight-make over…. The characters of Surindar and Raj differ merely with thin moustache, hair style and costumes. Both the characters have same voice sans any modulations….On the whole, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi is enjoyable on many parts with fun, frolic, lots of music and dance, pains and emotions.

A Surprise thriller from BharathiRaja..BOMMALAATTAM
Firstly, the end is new. Secondly, despite the film being a murder mystery blood and gore have been handled with subtlety. And finally, the circumstances that drive the murderer to take the extreme step are shocking! The impact on the viewer is treme ndous and Bharatiraaja proves that his creative skills are pretty much active. This is literally a NanaPatekar Movie; From the very beginning to the end Nana is covered in the frame.
But to maintain suspense and not to go directly to the novel climax in between unnecessary sequences are squeezed in. And some major loopholes are there in the climax but can be ignored.
