Alappuzha Gymkhana (2025)
“Alappuzha Gymkhana will be remembered more for the artful dodges it made than the punches it landed. Sometimes, you don’t need a punch to make an impact.” –

Machante Malakha (2025)
“If the film were made in the 2000s, arguably one of the worst periods in the history of Malayalam cinema, it would still have been called outdated and regressive. The sorry attempts at humour pile on the agony of the audience. ” –

Ponman (2025)
“Ponman could have easily turned into another film with a progressive message against dowry and the unhealthy obsession with gold. But what we get instead is an engrossing, non-judgemental study of characters, most of whom are victims of social malaise.” –

Dominic and the Ladies' Purse (2025)
“Weighing down the film is quite a lot of flab, from pointless song sequences, hints of a needless romance and clumsily staged fight sequences...Dominic is a character which holds immense possibilities, but he deserves a better-made film with less frills.” –
