๐Ÿ† EEAAO

Everything Everywhere All at Once, the Oscar-winning film, is a masterpiece that delivers on all fronts. The film boasts a captivating storyline, deep philosophical concepts, and an unusual sci-fi plot. What's even more impressive is that a small team created the breathtaking visual effects that bring the story to life with seamless precision. It's a must-see movie and is now available on SonyLiv India.

๐ŸŽž๏ธ Purusha Pretham

Purusha Pretham (2023) - IMDb

Krishand's latest release on Sony Liv, Purusha Pretham, is a thriller that's different from the usual fare. The movie's pace might not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's a deliberate choice that adds to the overall effect. Alexander Prasanth, who has played over 100 small roles, finally gets a chance to prove his caliber in the lead role with a nuanced performance.

In Malayalam, the word Pretham is used to refer to both ghosts and corpses. As a result, when conducting investigations and autopsies in Kerala, the police must deal with "Pretham." I came across it in Police Surgeon Umadanthanโ€™s book (๐Ÿ“šMust read alert: Available in English and Malayalam), and Krishand used this wordplay brilliantly while naming the movie!
