142 States (2020)2.5/5Star: Sharanya R. Nair,Manu S. Pillai,Vijayaraghavan,Indrans,PremkumarJacky tries to portray the whole ride with a touch of humour, which works to some degree. At some places, the comedy repeats. That could have been avoided

18The Kung Fu Master (2020)2.5/5Star: Neeta Pillai,Jiji Scaria,Sanoop D,Sooraj S. KurupThe story is quite slim with weak characterization. There is no real chemistry between the siblings.
19Uriyadi (2020)2.5/5Star: Aju Varghese,Sreenivasan,Indrans,Bijukuttan,Vineeth Mohan,Sreejith Ravi,Manasa RadhakrishnanThe writer of Uriyadi reflects on the other side of the life of policemen – the pressures they go through and its effects. His efforts to keep the script entertaining is admirable. However, unfortunately, the comedy turns out to be the villain in his script
20Big Brother (2020)2.5/5Star: Mohanlal,Arbaaz Khan,Honey Rose,Satna Titus,Vishnu Unnikrishnan,IrshadIf Siddique could have kept the run-time in check and maybe stopped short of building Sachidanandan as a superhero, the movie could have passed as a decent watch.
