Jai Ganesh – let that one slide.
An anthology of three stories set in the same rundown apartment complex. Each tale explores loneliness and urban decay. The cinematography is breathtaking (lots of rain-soaked nights and flickering tube lights). But the pacing is glacial. The middle segment, about a migrant worker, is the standout—haunting and real. The first and third are too abstract. Not for everyone, but those who vibe with it will call it a masterpiece. If you want gripping, well-acted, no-nonsense Malayalam thriller, go with Thalavan on Sony LIV. For a quiet evening, Pallotty 90’s Kids is a comforting second choice. new malayalam ott releases
This film is less about plot and more about feel . Set in a village during the Cashew industry’s peak, it follows two young boys whose friendship is tested by a lost cricket ball. The performances by the child artists are astonishingly natural. While the second half drags with predictable melodrama, the first hour is pure nostalgia—Sachin stickers, DD National, and summer holidays. A gentle, unhurried watch. – Cop Drama Done Right Verdict: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5) Should you watch? Absolutely for thriller fans. Jai Ganesh – let that one slide
A detective who uses a wheelchair solves a theft case. That sounds great on paper. But Jai Ganesh suffers from weak writing and an overstuffed plot (romance, family drama, social message). The investigation lacks intelligence, and the dialogues are often preachy. Mahima Nambiar is wasted. A rare misfire from an industry that usually handles disability representation with nuance. – Slow Burn Anthology Verdict: ⭐⭐⭐½ (3.5/5) Should you watch? Yes for art-house lovers, no for action seekers. The first and third are too abstract
