    Oru Jaathi Jaathakam

    ★★★

    Ain't feeling like writing a lot cause ee padam athunula onnum illa imo. Oru fun chaali malamcult padam and it works in that sense but nothing more. Political correctness okke noki padam kanunavar might wanna avoid this 💀. I watched expecting an absolute cringefest and it is to a certain extent but enthanu ariyila, njan kore chirich and if a movie is able to make me do so, then i really don't think it's the worst.

    ★★★

    Typical revenge movie but done well. Joju nannayi Pani vechittund. Joju's direction is nice but the story is a bit cliche and the movie sometimes has this massification which really wasn't needed like that car chase sequence which didn't work for me in many ways (oruthan oru smg fire cheyanande edeyilan giri chettan gun assembleiyan nikanth like 💀). Sagar and junaiz oru raksha illa. One of the best villain duos in a long time fr (I felt like killing these…
