When & Where To Stream Basil Joseph’s Pravinkoodu Shappu? (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Pravinkoodu Shappu had a vast amount of pre-release hype. In 2024, almost all the films Basil Joseph was part of were financially successful. The only movie that didn’t live up to the mark was Cup, though even that had an 8.5 IMDb rating. So, in 2025, with his first film of the year, everyone expected another super hit.

However, it unfortunately didn’t live up to the hype. While it wasn’t a complete disaster, the film received generally negative reviews from critics. The audience, however, was a bit more positive towards it. Now that it is coming to Ott, it will reach a wider audience.

Basil Joseph, widely celebrated for his directorial prowess and acting skills, has been focusing more on his acting career in recent years, temporarily stepping away from the director’s chair. With an impressive box-office record, six out of his seven films last year were hits, including three in which he played the lead role.

In an interview with OTTplay, Basil expressed his desire to break free from typecast roles often designed for family audiences. While he is keen on experimenting with diverse characters, he also emphasized his commitment to delivering a “minimum guarantee” experience for his audience.

Speaking about his latest film, Pravinkoodu Shappu, Basil shared how the project pushed him to grow as an actor. Portraying a police officer with a distinct Thrissur accent, he spent extensive hours in the dubbing studio to make his performance as authentic as possible. He also highlighted...

Turbo Movie Review Out ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

What’s Good: The fight choreography and visuals, especially with Mammootty, are genuinely electrifying. Mammootty‘s precision and stylish delivery of knockout punches make every fight sequence a thrilling spectacle! The Hollywood pop culture references, like Turbo Jose’s mother mourning Tony Stark’s death or a local don channeling Vito Corleone with a similar mustache, clothing, and demeanor, add fun and nostalgia to the movie.

What’s Bad: The movie had a few plot holes towards the end and lacked iconic music. Although the soundtrack was good and served its purpose, it had no standout tracks that left a lasting impression. In some scenes, a turbo spooling noise and horn sound are used as background sounds for Mammootty’s character before he appears.

Disney+ Hotstar, the leading streaming platform in India, has released two new movies this week, Chiththa and Kannur Squad, in Tamil and Malayalam languages respectively. Both the movies are crime thrillers that have received positive reviews from critics and audiences alike.

Chiththa, directed by S. U. Arun Kumar and produced by Siddharth, who also stars in the lead role, is based on the real-life incidents of child abuse and the efforts of a young man to protect his niece from a notorious pedophile. The film also marks the Tamil debut of Nimisha Sajayan, who plays the love interest of Siddharth. The film has been praised for its sensitive portrayal of a sensitive issue, its gripping screenplay, and its powerful performances. Chiththa is rated 4/5 by The Times of India1 and 8.4/10 by IMDb2.

Prime Video today announced the global streaming premiere of Malayalam crime comedy film – Gold, starring Prithviraj, and Nayanthara. Directed by Alphonse Puthren, who returned to Malayalam films after seven years, Gold is produced by Supriya Menon under the banner of Prithviraj Productions, and Listin Stephen under the banner of Magic Frames. The film also boasts of a stellar ensemble cast, including Ajmal Ameer, Krishna Kumar, Shabareesh Varma, and Chemban Vinod Jose in pivotal roles. Prime members can stream the crime comedy film in Malayalam from December 29.

An unconventional crime-comedy film, Gold follows a mobile store owner – Joshi, played by Prithviraj, who by happenstance gets embroiled in series of events that accentuate greed and gluttony, in a much more real sense. Prithviraj’s outstanding performance, and impeccable timing in the film exhibit the perfect balance of humour, and thrill, which is complemented by the extraordinary background music composed by Rajesh Murugesan.

ReviewActors are spilled across the narrative, but instead of adding to the frolic like in Alphonse’s previous films, in ‘Gold’ it is mostly just chaos.CrisImagine that tin game most of us played as kids – many names written in small chits of paper dropped inside a tin that is then shaken vigourously. After 160-plus minutes of Alphonse Puthren’s Malayalam comedy Gold, the head feels somewhat like that tin. I am still pulling out names from it, and I have managed to recall 30 so far. Star-studded is not the right word for Gold. The film has actors spilled all across the script and just as soon as you catch up with one name, the person is nowhere to be seen. It is of course Alphonse, a filmmaker known for penning long scripts and being generous with the cast. But in his two previous much-adored ventures if it added to the fun and frolic,...

ReviewTalented actors such as Sabumon, Johny Antony, Karamana Sudheer and others are wasted in clichéd ideas of humour.CrisThe main thought behind the making of Upacharapoorvam Gunda Jayan appears to have been to make a film with a lot of “comedy” in it. Nearly every scene is written with this idea, you can see. The problem with such ideas is that if the comedy fails, the entire film comes crumbling down faster than a house of cards. That’s what happens with Upacharapoorvam. Lead actor Saiju Kurup, and others including Sabumon, Johny Antony, Shabareesh Varma, Shailaja Ambu and a number of newcomers do try their best, but it really isn’t in their hands to save the film. The whole premise is a wedding that is about to happen in the house of ‘Gunda Jayan’ (Saiju Kurup), a man who had once been notorious as a goon and has, since then,...

ReviewThe actors – four of the ‘Premam’ guys included – do their parts well but the humour appears forced.CrisWith bookshelves carved neatly in the walls, yellow lights at short distances apart, unobtrusive wooden furniture and four curious-looking doors, the house that five young men go to in Mariyam Vannu Vilakkoothi is a charming little place to live in. No wonder the five men never feel like leaving it after they enter it one evening, creating the crux of the film. It’s all meant for laughs, from the very first scene when these men were schoolboys and predictably troublesome, to the end when they finally get out of the house and end up in a police station. That’s not the exact end of course, and without giving away spoilers, let’s just say that a lot of the well-intended comedy fails.
