Narivetta – A Fight for Justice, Lost in Translation Narivetta  (2025), streaming on  Sony LIV , is a Malayalam action drama inspired by the 2003  Muthanga tribal protest . Starring  Tovino Thomas , the film tackles serious issues like  tribal rights  and  police brutality . While Tovino’s performance is powerful, the screenplay feels uneven. The emotional weight of the real-life tragedy gets sidelined by the focus on the hero’s personal journey. The story gains momentum in the second half, but the impact is diluted. Still, it’s an important tale that needed telling—uncomfortable, flawed, but thought-provoking. #Narivetta #TovinoThomas #SonyLIVOriginals #MuthangaProtest #MalayalamMovies #IndianCinema2025 #TribalRights #SocialJusticeCinema #ActionDrama #AnurajManohar #MovieReview #BasedOnTrueEvents #KeralaStories #VoiceForTheVoiceless #CinemaWithPurpose

Bougainvillea: A Thriller That Almost Blooms   Amal Neerad’s  Bougainvillea  is a psychological thriller with a gripping premise that falters in execution. Inspired by Lajo Jose’s novel  Ruthinte Lokam , the story builds intrigue around Reethu’s amnesia and an investigation into missing girls.
