Bhoothakaalam Movie Review: Shane Nigam and Revathy's film is moving mental health drama disguised as horror
Bhoothakaalam is a Malayalam horror film directed by Rahul Sadasivan and co-written by Sreekumar Shreyas. Starring Shane Nigam and Revathy, the film is about a troubled young man, Vinu, and his clinically depressed mother, Asha. Bhoothakaalam is two-thirds a drama about a mother and son’s dysfunctional relationship and one-third a dull and formulaic haunted house movie. While Vinu and Asha are well-written and well-performed, the horror and mental illness themes do not mesh well. The film suggests that Vinu and Asha’s haunted house is a vampiric machine that absorbs negativity from its residents, amplifies it, and transmits it back to Vinu and Asha, worsening their condition. However, the balance between horror and mental health drama is uneven. The absent one-third of the mental health drama in Bhoothakaalam leaves some questions unanswered. Meanwhile, the absent two-thirds of the horror film left the reviewer unsatisfied.

Mrs Chatterjee Vs Norway: A Well-Intentioned Film That Falls Short
Mrs Chatterjee Vs Norway: A Well-Intentioned Film That Falls Short Mrs. Chatterjee vs Norway is a film directed by Ashima Chibber, starring Rani Mukerji, Anirban Bhattacharya, Neena Gupta, Jim Sarbh, and Tiina Tauraite. The film is based on a true story of an Indian mother, Debika Chatterjee, who fights the Norwegian Child Welfare Services to regain custody of her two children. Despite the film's heart being in the right place, the film is an overwrought and exhausting experience that fails to do justice to the story of a distraught mother pushed to the wall and left with no option but to fight to be reunited with her children. The film gets a one and a half-star rating out of five.
