A fantastic film that is funny, quirky, and most of all, grounded. The creative sensibilities of Director Basil Joseph are top notch and I am really proud that we have finally made a worthy film in this genre. The film is well written and characters are fleshed out in a manner that compels you to feel for them. ...
Home is a fresh, genuine and heartfelt film that is relatable in every moment. It is the story of a regular family-next-door going through what is called ‘Life’. ...
Made on a shoe-string budget of around 70 Lakhs, C/o Kancharapalem brings us 4 love stories that vary across age, religion, caste and social status.

Just like Sundaram, I lost my heart right there. ...

Goodachari is not that kind of a spy thriller this is more like an ‘actual spy thriller’. That's because, in this film, there is an actual spy, not someone who won a fancy dress competition in school and now believes that it is a profession. ...
Njan Prakashan (transl. I am Prakashan) is hilarious from the word go. Prakashan or P.R. Akash, as he likes to be known, is a superbly written character. He comes across as someone who is lazy, pretentious, a compulsive liar, and highly insecure. Prakashan, I mean P.R. Akash, hopes to land a secure comfortable job abroad. For that, he makes all the efforts to court a simple girl who has landed a job in Germany. How things pan out for Prakashan, oops, P.R. Akash, and where he goes from there, is what the film is all about. ...
