'Thudarum'
Set against the serene backdrop of Ranni's hill town, Thudarum is a compelling drama that weaves a tale of human connections and personal struggles. This film explores emotional depth and resilience, making it a must-watch for fans of storytelling with heart. Now streaming on OTT. ETimes gave the film a rating of 3 stars, and our review read, 'Tharun, whose last film Saudi Vellakka won a National Awards, could have done better to have created a more subtle story; this very much has an '80s-'90s feel.
For Mohanlal fans, his raw magnetism might be exciting, but with its loud and overwritten scenes, the acting lacks nuance all around.'
Alappuzha Gymkhana | Song - Panjara Punch
A vibrant narrative packed with local flavor, Alappuzha Gymkhana dives into the cultural tapestry of Kerala's backwaters. This film blends humor and drama, offering a fresh perspective on community dynamics. Catch it on SonyLIV starting June 5, 2025. ETimes review for the Naslen starrer read, 'Alappuzha Jimkhana may not offer the highs of Thallumaala, nor does it aim to.
This is a slice-of-life narrative about kids who dream in fragments and grow up learning that sometimes the greatest win is just to stay on your feet.
