Jude Anthany Joseph's third feature, after Ohm Shanti Oshana and Oru Muthassi Gadha, released on Prime Video at midnight today. This seemingly feel-good film, also seemingly made in limited spaces and with a shoestring budget, tackles a concept and issue never tested before in Malayalam cinema circles. In Sara'S, we follow the life of Sara Vincent (Anna Ben), a young, bubbly, yet unapologetic filmmaker who struggles to make it big in the industry. She continuously assists male directors and is in the scripting works of her dream film. Sara has decided, from her school days, that she would not bear any kids. This is when she meets Jeevan (Sunny Wayne); her relationship with him subsequently brings her ideology and decision into a confrontation with the established norms of society, family and child-rearing. Anna Ben in Sara'S The best aspect in which Sara'S has excelled, without doubt, is its hard-hitting taut script. Debutant Akshay Hareesh deserves praise for managin...
It is after a long thought that I post my first movie review.
It is a movie that I saw just recently and it has already proved itself as another masterpiece of a prominent film director- Interstellar.
The movie takes place in 2062, where a crop blight has destroyed almost all food crops and the earth barely survives on corn. Brand (Michael Caine), an astrophysicist in NASA, plans to save mankind by evacuating the people from earth and set up habitat for the humans in another planet. Twelve astronauts were sent to explore these planets in different galaxies. Of these one system with three potential worlds shows promise. Therefore, Professor Brand assembles a team of four astronauts, Cooper(Matthew Mcconaughey), Amelia Brand(Anne Hathaway), Doyle(Wes Bentley), and Romilly( David Gyasi), to explore these three planets and find out which one can be mankind's new home.
The movie borrows some of its theme from 20th century sci-fi epics like 2001: A Space Odyssey, Blade Runner etc. But if you ask me what distinguishes this film from other space-themed films is four things:

- Visual effects which is stunning and unparalleled
- The scientific accuracy in the movie shows Nolan's directorial thirst to make an accurate movie using scientist Kip Thorne's research material; although one would have to first learn Einstein's Theory of Relativity.
- Hans Zimmer has yet again produced another phenomenal (rocking) soundtrack after his hit soundtracks of The Dark Knight and Inception. I sure got my adrenaline to a higher level by listening to the music.
- Mackenzie Foy gives an extraordinary performance, despite her short on-screen appearance . This could be a boost for the 14-year old girl's career.
The film is rich in scientific detail and when I say that, it means that it is "too" rich in detail. Some parts of the film maybe enticing visually to watch but the concept maybe too hard to grasp.
It touches on themes of love, which is shown as it is quantifiable, and extinction of mankind and about man's ability of space exploration that extends to galaxies and beyond stars.
For a director who first started off from independent films and later directed big budget blockbusters, Interstellar is another masterpiece for Christopher Nolan to showcase in his already stunning movie career.Rating stars: Four and a half stars
