Starring    :  Mahesh Babu, Kajal Agarwal, Prakash Raj

Finally the wait is over and it's a part time for Kerala Mahesh Babu fans. Their superstar is back with the Malayalam version of Telugu super hit Businessman. 

An action packed tale, the story is set on the backdrop of Mumbai and here comes Surya (mahesh) to live with his friend (brahmaji). Surya’s objective is to create mafia and rule the roost across the city. For this, he uses the power of a local politician (sayaji) and eventually he builds a vast network of gang.

He uses his brains and brawn and eventually shakes the pillars of the central minister Jaidev (prakash raj). What happens after that forms the rest of the story.

The direction of the movie was good. Even though the story line is predictable it entertains people. It's an all in all Mahesh Babu film. From beginning till the end you can witness the power packed performance of Mahehsh Babu. Kajal Agarwal was sensuous and pretty whenever required. In short everyone performed their roles well.

The movie is a complete entertainer and can be watchable. After watching this film, Kerala audience will definitely love Mahesh Babu.

I Love Me is a thriller movie which lacked pace due to the mistakes in screenplay. Sethu could have taken more care in the screenplay. B.Unnikrishnan's direction was not up to the expected mark. Anoop Menon and Asif Ali did a descent job. Unni Mukundan's performance was not up to the mark, but he was extremely well in the fight sequences. Isha Talwar's presence was charming but there wasn't anything big for her to perform.

I Love Me is a wasted opportunity due to the mistakes in the screenplay. The movie disappoint's the audience.

Direction       : Aashiq Abu
Writers         :  Syam Pushkaran, Dileesh Nair, Abhilash S Kumar
Starring        :  Shekhar Menon, Sreenath Bhasi, Nivin Pauly, Ann Augustine

Aashiq Abu is back after the grand success of 22 Female Kottayam. This time he tells the story of a fat man and his life.

The movie focuses on the life of a fat guy. Later  He decides to reduce his weight for a specific purpose. But at that time he came to know about an unpleasant news. From that very own moment his life changes.

Da Thadiya is a sweet, simple and lovable movie. Shekar Menon, the guy playing the lead role (Thadiyan) is definitely the highlight of the movie. He has done a marvelous job. After watching the movie you will definitely start loving him. Sreenath Bhasi who played the role of Thadiyan's brother also did a good job. Nivin Pauly's negative character is another highlight of the movie. He was the best choice for that character. Ann Augustine also did a descent job. The script could have been made a little more  deeper but it's enjoyable. Aashiq Abu.... "He is the man". His direction was superb and catchy. Once again he proved that he is one of the best.

Another highlight of the movie is definitely the climax. What a dialogue by THADIYAN!!!!! Da Thadiya is a fun movie that you will definitely enjoy. Go for it.

Karmayodha

Direction    :  Major Ravi
Writer        :  Major Ravi
Starring      :  Mohanlal, Rajeev Pillai


After Kandahar Major Ravi is back again with Universal Hero Mohanlal. This time the expectations of  the movie were at peak level because Mohanlal has delivered three consecutive hits.

Mohanlal is playing the role of an encounter specilaist who is fearless and he is know as Mad Maddy. He has his own style and he doesn't like to wait for orders from his superior officers. A group of girls were kidnappped from Mumbai and Maddy sets his task to rescue them.

Karmayodha is an all in all Mohanlal movie, especially for Mohanlal fans. His performance and dialogue delivery were mindblowing. Mohanlal was the power house of the movie. The twist before interval was really good. But there were a lot of loop holes in the script and screenplay, especially in the second half. The second half of the movie was very slow and dragging. The climax was good. Major Ravi's direction was not up to the mark.

Karmayodha is targeted mainly on hard core Mohanlal fans. They will surely enjoy the movie. For others it's watchable once if you go with no expectations but still it disappoints a lot due to the huge hype surrounding it.

Rating      :  2.5/5

Yekshi takes revenge against the Thampuran by killing him. Years later a group of youngsters comes to the village for taking a film. They came to know about the story of Yekshi. The movie develops through the thoughts of these youngsters.

The looks created for Yekshi is good. There is nothing more in the movie. Bad direction and poor script ruined the movie. The performances by the artists were very poor and waste.

Yakshi faithfully yours is a movie which failed to impress the audience due to poor script and bad direction.
