Danielle Deadwyler gives an oscar worthy performance as Mamie Till-Mobley in Chinonye Chukwu’s movie Till. I watched it this Thursday in the theaters. An extremely emotional gut wrenching journey, I recommend you should go in for. The movie is about the 1955 Lynching of 14 year old Emmett Till played so well by Jalyn Hall. Emmett goes from Chicago to Mississippi to spend time with his … Continue reading A Mother’s grief in ‘Till’ will make your heart sTill

An amazing Malayalam movie has just started streaming on Netflix. Don’t miss it. ‘Attention please’ written and directed by Jithin Issac Thomas will make you the 7th in the six character movie.

And this is not just … Continue reading Barbarian in the theaters

I watched ‘The Kashmir Files’ a few days back. I wanted to make a video of my thoughts. Finally I made it in Malayalam, but thought in English I will write instead of making a video. ‘The Kashmir Files’ is very disturbing, gripping and unsettling to say the least.
