You are welcome! I will plan to just keep the same post going and update it as new reviews are scheduled.
There will also still be announcement posts going out, just to be extra safe and also give people a little information about the film so they can decide if they want to watch it.

Usually not in advance at all, I write them and post them immediately. Very occasionally I will have an idea in advance and write it up, but usually I write the whole thing last minute.

Surprised that so many Malayalam movies made it to the list this time.
Virus was anticipated because read somewhere that Shahrukh Khan liked it, so you’d definitely watch.
Android Kunjappan is a surprise, but understandable… (Helen was perhaps a better choice, also available on Prime)
But how on earth did you choose to watch Allu Ramendran?
LikeLike
I felt bad with how few Malayalam movies I saw this year so I am trying to catch up. Virus people have been telling me to watch for ages. Otherwise, I just looked at the most popular options on Einthusan. I had something else picked, and then MKP said I should do Android Kunjappan. And Allu Ramendran was just because it was popular on einthusan and I liked the cast and the story sounded pleasant.
LikeLike
It’s a good idea to catch up with the Malayalam movies at the end of the year. This way you can catch the top films.
Virus is essentially a WCC film. And as a supporter, it’s good that you could finally watch it. See, Parvathy is extremely gifted, she’ll get atleast one movie a year and it will be a BO hit. But it’s been ages since we saw the likes of Revathy, Reema Kallingal, Ramya Nambeeshan in a mainstream movie!
LikeLike
Yes, I was so happy to see all those actresses working! Although Reema’s role was really tiny.
LikeLike
Well, she was the producer!
The character she played was like the darling of Kerala. Her letter was widely circulated on social media and all.
When I first heard that Reema was going to play the character of Nurse Lini Puthussery, I was worried if her husband would make the whole movie around her (because it was the most selling Nipah story in Kerala). Besides, they’d earlier collaborated for Rani Padmini, and Reema perhaps got a meatier role than Manju.
So personally I was glad that Reema had a shorter role in Virus 🙂

Never saw Shaan. I’ll wait for your review before giving it a watch. It’s probably my age but I prefer the arthouse movies Shashi made over the masala type where the acting is so much more realistic. I keep thinking that he was born ahead of his time. He’d have killed it in today’s Bollywood where there’s so much more variety.

Looking forward to your take on Padayappa! Have had so many discussions and read so much about this inevitable Tamil movie.
Any woman adversary is a lone wolf in Tamil cinema, but the sex-positive woman adversary with agency in Padayappa is a completely different beast with zero representation. They villainized her for being ambitious and asking what she wants; but, they dared to represent her! And also it was the magnum opus of Ramya Krishnan, the absolute veteran of Tamil/Telugu male-centric starrers.
