Maanadu Movie Review

  Maanadu - The first thing that came to my mind after seeing the first scene is, the Hollywood movie "Source Code". I started to feel disappointed knowing that the entire movie is going to be based on the time loop. The worst part is people who haven't watched Source code is going to enjoy it and I am not going to enjoy it. The whole theatre was struck in awe seeing the timeloop scene for the first time.

Kurup Movie Review

I didn't had much expectations but I just wanted to have a satisfaction of logging off early from work was worth it. But it wasn't worth it.
