Grave of the Fireflies
Critics say it is an animation film about the impact of war, but for me it is a tale of a brother and a sister. I find it amazing that even if you are a monster, this film will dig out the human in you and make you cry like a child. This Japanese movie has a soul so beautiful, that you cannot find in any other movie.
Manichitrathazhu
For me, no other Malayalam film can surpass this one. A brilliant psychological thriller, exceptional talented acting, beautiful songs, funny moments, thought-provoking script… everything is there in it. It is a classic.
The Green Mile
Can you define a person by looking at his appearance? Do you believe the truth even if the truth is above reality? After watching this movie ‘your world’ will shift a little, sure.
Vaaranam Aayiram
It is not just another romantic thriller with beautiful songs. Gautham Menon has visualised some memorable moments of beautiful relationships in it. The detailing and narrative make you feel that it is a true story.
Jurassic Park
From the first scene that introduces gigantic dinosaurs to the last scene that shows the escape of scientists from the park, the film transforms me to a panic-stricken boy, even after 23 years! It’s the pure magic of the film, something that you never get bored of.
