Take
Off
Words
would
be
less
to
describe
this
film,
which
went
on
to
gain
wide
critical
reception.
Mahesh
Narayanan
came
up
with
one
such
movie,
which
could
proudly
be
given
the
label
of
one
of
the
best
Malayalam
movies,
in
the
recent
times.
Take
Off,
narrated
the
tale
of
nurses
who
gets
trapped
in
Iraq,
during
the
war
time
and
the
makers
opted
to
narrate
the
film
in
the
best
possible
way.
With
the
backing
of
some
powerhouse
performances,
Take
Off
appealed
to
all
sections
of
audiences
alike,
only
to
fly
at
new
heights.

Thondimuthalum
Driksakshiyum
This
Dileesh
Pothan
movie,
which
hit
the
theatres
towards
the
fag
end
of
the
first
half
of
2017,
is
a
film
to
reckon
with.
In
fact,
the
initial
half
of
2017
ended
in
style,
with
this
Fahadh
Faasil
starrer,
which
is
a
class
apart.
Thondimuthalum
Driksakshiyum
is
realistic
in
every
frame
and
the
makers
of
the
film
guarantees
entertainment,
without
losing
the
quality.
The
film
has
a
simple
storyline,
but
the
performances,
the
approach
that
the
film
follows
and
many
other
factors,
make
the
film,
one
among
the
best
movies
of
the
year,
so
far.

Angamaly
Diaries
Yet
another
film,
which
was
high
on
the
realistic
factor.
Kudos
to
Lijo
Jose
Pellissery,
for
coming
up
with
a
film
like
Angamaly
Diaries,
which
was
raw
and
real,
in
each
frame.
The
guts
of
the
makers
to
cast
a
complete
set
of
newcomers
in
it,
yielded
the
right
results.
Angamaly
Diaries,
with
whole
lot
of
freshness
and
uniqueness
in
it,
is
a
definite
must
watch
for
all
genuine
movie
lovers.

Rakshadhikari
Baiju
Oppu
Well,
Rakshadikari
Baiju
Oppu
was
a
hit
at
the
box
office.
But,
had
it
not
released
at
the
time
of
Baahubali
2,
the
film
would
have
made
it
even
more
bigger
at
the
box
office.
This
Biju
Menon
starrer
was
a
sweet
little
tale
about
a
person,
who
loves
to
hang
around
with
his
friends.
The
film
was
able
to
take
a
major
section
of
the
audiences,
back
to
their
younger
days
and
that
nostalgia
element
was
served
delectably
in
the
film.
Biju
Menon
was
in
top
form
in
this
film,
scripted
and
directed
by
Ranjan
Pramod.
5.
Godha
Well,
here
is
an
entertainer,
which
can
be
given
that
label,
in
all
the
senses.
In
fact,
Godha
is
one
such
entertainer
of
the
year,
which
satisfied
majority
of
the
audiences.
With
the
essence
of
a
sports
drama
in
it,
Godha
kept
the
audiences
engaged,
throughout
its
running
length.
Basil
Joseph's
second
directorial
venture
is
definitely,
one
of
the
best
films
of
the
year,
so
far.
