Hats Off to Ranjith and team for providing an unsuual gem for malayalam cinema. The film proves that there are many fresh talents here are awaiting chance in our industry.
Island Express.
Sankar Ramakrishnan is a sure bet for malayalam cinema’s future. This film is outstanding with its strong script and direction. Cinematography and nice frames deserves a special mention. Climax was great.
8.5/10
Lalitham Hiranmayam
This short film is a distant relative of the teleserial “Avicharitham” written by Bobby Sanjay. Eventhough Shaji Kailas has portrayed a good theme with brilliance. Jyothirmayi was good. Cinematography and art work was great.
8/10
Happy Journey
Anjali Menon is going to have a permanent seat in malayalam cinema. A current and relevent theme is executed with some humour. Good script and direction in all the way.
8/10
Puramkazhchakal
Laljose excells with his magical touch. The movie reminds us that there always lies something inside every man unlike what is shown outside.The film is directed so well with a shocking climax. Mammootty was good.
8/10
Aviramam
Tells the effect of consumerism and recession on the upper middle class family. The value of relations and its depth is potrayed. Nothing special.
6/10
Makal
The film handled a relevent theme, but the overall execution was no that effective to touch the viewers. Could have been much better.
6/10
Mrithyunjayam
This movie handles a horror subject. But it coundn’t escape from cliches and the total film was not that impressive.
5/10
Off Season
The film shows that some people seems to be millionairs are slum dogs, and some slumdogs are millionairs in terms of humanity. But the film lacked a good script.
5/10
Nostalgia
In on word, the film is cliched. lacked a good script and direction. The theme is tried out one, nothing is innovative there.
4.5/10
I am not judging Bridge, since the projector operator didnt show the entire film on screen. Lost the ending completly.As a whole, Kerala Cafe is a brave attempt in malayalam cinema. The film is a must watch and atleast 4 or 5 films in it are outstanding. We need such experiments a lot, though the common audience is ruined a lot now a days.

Too bad you missed bridge. That was my favorite of them all. I think it was the most touching short film in the lot. Salim Kumar was good. But it was the story that was really good, plus awesome cinematography.
well..the views i posted in my blog about d movie are almost similar too..:) and u can watch d whole thing again,just for Bridge:)

A collection of 10-1 powerful short films (shyamaprasad’s was really “koora”). No words to describe Anwar rasheed’s BRIDGE…
Bridge was my favorite of them all. I think it was the most touching short film in the lot. Salim Kumar was good. But it was the story that was really good, plus awesome cinematography.
