Flix FlashbackDirector Kg George’s 1990 film is a strange concoction for an investigative thriller. There are fascinating characters, intrigue and drama, but at its core it is a heart-breaking tale of love and loss.Neelima MenonAsianetA woman is found dead at her home. The police suspect murder and get on with the investigation, meticulously questioning and probing every possible suspect. Ee Kanni Koodi (Connecting the links), another gem from director Kg George, is one of the finest investigative thrillers in Malayalam, which also happens to be relatively less discussed, like most of his films. The frames are bleak, lifelike in characteristic Kg George style. The film, which released in 1990, begins with a long shot of a house with an iron gate enclosing the compound. A man knocks, jots down a note. A while later, another man enters the premises. When he gets no response after ringing the bell, he approaches the police.

MollywoodMeera's last release was '10 Kalpanakal'.Digital NativeDigital NativeReports are rife that Meera Jasmine may join the star cast of the Mohanlal starrer Neerali. The talented actor was last seen in the Malayalam movie 10 Kalpanakal in which she played the role of a cop. The film starred Anoop Menon in the lead role while Meera Jasmine had a pivotal role to play in it. This film hit the silver screen a couple of years ago and since then she had been away from the film industry for various reasons. With Neerali, she may be staging a comeback, say sources. It may be mentioned here that there were reports that the Neerali team is scouting for a suitable heroine to play Mohanlal’s wife in it and it now looks like Meera Jasmine may bag the role. However, there is no official word on it yet. Directed by Ajoy Varma, the film stars Mohanlal and Parvati Nair in the lead roles with Suraj Venjaramoodu, Saikumar and Dileesh Pothan also in the star cast. The film's technical crew comprises Stephen Devassy for music, Santosh Thundiyil for cinematography and Ajoy Varma for editing. The shooting of this film began just a few weeks ago with plans on to release it on May 4th to cash in on the summer vacation. Neerali is produced by Santhosh T. Kuruvilla, John Thomas and Mibu Jose Nettikadan under the banner Moonshot Entertainments. Meanwhile, the film’s producer had quashed the rumours that the Kannada star Kiccha Sudeep will be making his debut in the Malayalam film industry with Neerali. He had said that Sudeep hasn’t been approached to join the star cast. We also hear that Meena may be hopping onboard Neerali, which again are unconfirmed reports. The film’s shooting is currently on in Mumbai and will move over to Pune in the coming days. (Content provided by Digital Native)...
