ഹോഡു കണ്ടും കേട്ടും പരിചിതമായ കഥയുടെ ഗംഭീര ആവിഷ്കാരം



കണ്ടും കേട്ടും പഴകിയ കഥയുടെ ഗംഭീര ആവിഷ്കാരമാണ് ഹോഡു എന്ന  കൊച്ചു മലയാള ചലച്ചിത്രം. കൊറോണ കാലത്ത് പരിമിതമായ സൗകര്യങ്ങളിൽ എടുത്ത ചിത്രമാണിത്. ഒരു പോലീസ് സ്റ്റേഷനും അവിടെ കസ്റ്റഡിയിൽ കൊണ്ട് വരുന്ന വിവിധ കേസുകളിലെ പ്രതികളെയും കേന്ദ്രീകരിച്ചാണ് സിനിമ സഞ്ചരിക്കുന്നത്. രാഷ്ട്രീയ അധികാര പിൻബലത്തിൽ യഥാർത്ഥ കുറ്റവാളികൾ രക്ഷപ്പെടുന്നതും നിരപരാധികളായവർ പകരം ബലിയാക്കപ്പെടുകയും ചെയ്യുന്നതിന്റെ ഭീകര കാഴ്ചകളാണ് സിനിമ മുഴുവൻ. അഭിനയിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നവരെല്ലാം പുതുമുഖങ്ങളാണെന്ന പുതുമയും ചിത്രത്തിനുണ്ട്. ക്ലൈമാക്സ് പ്രേക്ഷകരിൽ ഉണ്ടാക്കുന്ന ഉൾക്കിടിലം ഒരു ഭയമായി തന്നെ  പതിഞ്ഞിരിക്കും. ചിത്രം isteam OTT ൽ ലഭ്യമാണ്. ചിത്രത്തിലെ കാഴ്ചകൾ പ്രായപൂർത്തി ആയവർക്ക് മാത്രമായി പരിമിത പെടുത്തിയിരിക്കുന്നു.

Santosh (2024) – A Quietly Devastating Crime Drama That Holds Up a Mirror to Society

Image
In an era of cinematic spectacle, where loud storytelling often drowns out subtle truths, Santosh (2024) emerges as a rare voice of quiet resistance. Directed by Sandhya Suri and starring the formidable Shahana Goswami, this Hindi-language crime drama is not just a film—it’s an indictment, a meditation, and above all, a mirror to the deeply entrenched social fault lines in India. Plot Overview: A Uniform, A System, A Disappearance The story follows Santosh Saini (Shahana Goswami), a 28-year-old widow in rural North India who is appointed as a police constable through India’s "compassionate appointment" system. Her induction into the force—meant to be a financial lifeline—turns into a moral and emotional crucible when she’s assigned to a case involving the disappearance of a Dalit girl. As Santosh struggles to find her footing in the bureaucratic jungle of law enforcement, she is mentored (and later morally tested) by the hardened Inspector Geeta Sharma (Sunita Raj...

A Day of Delight at Mandrothu: A Teacher's Retreat

Image
Yesterday, the teachers of St. Thomas Higher Secondary School embarked on a much-anticipated one-day trip to Mandrothu, a journey that proved to be a delightful escape from the routine of school life. While the initial mood was a little subdued due to some unforeseen hiccups in the original plan, the timely and insightful intervention of the resort manager turned the day around completely, transforming a potentially disappointing outing into a joyous and memorable experience. We are immensely grateful for their quick thinking and adaptability. Our adventure began with a visit to the mesmerizing Mangrove forest.

Paddling our way through the calm waters, surro...

Trekking to Varayadumotta: A Challenging Yet Rewarding Experience

Image
Yesterday, I joined about thirty other people on a trek to Varayadumotta, organized by AMAS Kerala. The weather was far from ideal; the unbearable heat posed a significant challenge throughout the journey. The trek involved traversing a difficult forest path with limited access to drinking water, making the ascent, especially the steep 80-degree slopes, incredibly strenuous. We were accompanied by two forest watchers who led the way. Around two in the afternoon, we finally reached the summit, where nature rewarded us with breathtaking views. From Varayadumotta, we could see Ponmudi directly opposite us, and Agasthyamala in the distance to the right. Despite the stunning scenery, the intense heat remained a formidable adversary. The four liters of water each of us carried were almost depleted by the time we reached the top. At three o'clock, we began our descent, which proved to be even more treacherous than the climb. The 80-degree incline meant we had ...
