A producer as well as a distribution & marketing consultant (films). Most importantly a cinephile. Cinema is work as well as passion, that's enough for now :).

@AnandTheJamist Oh! Nice, for things like these I do envy people like you at times :)

[Sethumadhavan Napan @Sethumadhavan]

#Nino (2025)-I initially delayed watching this French slice of life drama by a day, since I felt that it was going to be a little too heavy, only to check it out the next day & get pleasantly surprised.

[Sethumadhavan Napan @Sethumadhavan]

@AnandTheJamist Oh! Yes, glad that it worked for you too

#Dhamaal4 (2026)-The weakest film in the #Dhamaal franchise but clearly a review proof film as seen by the way the audience lapped it up during it's theatrical release. I was well prepared to face a disaster, hence survived it easily while watching it on Netflix over the weekend.

[Sethumadhavan Napan @Sethumadhavan]

#Unmadham (2026)-Surprisingly the main culprit here is Shahi Kabir's writing, the second half really going downhill. Overall a really wasted opportunity. Streaming on SonyLiv after it's theatrical release.

[Sethumadhavan Napan @Sethumadhavan]

#Unmadham (2026)-This Malayalam film could have been a really good investigative thriller, but despite getting the basic premise right & roping in really good actors, unfortunately the end result is a big downer.

#TheRunner (2026)-I watched this Amazon Prime original film only for Gal Gadot but even she cannot save this 84 minute long film trying to be a new #RunLolaRun of sorts, but falling way short of it.

[Sethumadhavan Napan @Sethumadhavan]

#TheWhisperMan (2026)-This crime thriller has a really good ensemble cast but the narrative isn't all that interesting & the film falls short of reaching its potential. Streaming on Netflix.

[Sethumadhavan Napan @Sethumadhavan]

#WalkingAgainstTheRain (2022)-An interesting post apocalyptic horror film that's indie in its execution, but smartly done in a way that it punches above its weight. Streaming on Amazon Prime.

[Sethumadhavan Napan @Sethumadhavan]

#BabitaSinghReporting (2026)-What could have actually been a fine film is ruined by the narrative style and by the way the protagonist has been treated over here. Streaming on Amazon Prime.

[Sethumadhavan Napan @Sethumadhavan]

#BabitaSinghReporting (2026)-In terms of a logline the film does sound interesting & it even gets the casting taken care of the right way.

[Sethumadhavan Napan @Sethumadhavan]

#BabitaSinghReporting-But what was the need for the writer & director (women themselves) to make the protagonist look so pitiable, as if the whole world is against her?

[Sethumadhavan Napan @Sethumadhavan]

#Newtons3rdLaw (2026)-A missed opportunity overall, the film is streaming on Netflix.

[Sethumadhavan Napan @Sethumadhavan]

#Newtons3rdLaw (2026)-Debutant writer-director Rajesh Karna tries to outsmart the audience with this Telugu investigative thriller, a good aim to strive for. But after the initial set up, things really get sluggish and the impact is hardly felt, even when the pace picks up later.

[Sethumadhavan Napan @Sethumadhavan]

#AnbeDiana (2026)-Overall a film that's good in parts & watchable. Streaming on SonyLiv after it's theatrical release.

[Sethumadhavan Napan @Sethumadhavan]

#AnbeDiana (2026)-This Tamil rom-com has an interesting set up, with funny yet relatable characters & the whole Perambur background works pretty well for a subject like this. But the writing is a bit of a let down, the proceedings lose steam for a while in between.

[Sethumadhavan Napan @Sethumadhavan]

#TheyWillKillYou (2026)-Streaming on JioHotstar after it's theatrical run.

[Sethumadhavan Napan @Sethumadhavan]

#TheyWillKillYou (2026)-This action horror film is like a crossover of several other films including the #ReadyOrNot films & the #KillBill films but is watchable because of the action sequences & an effective Zazie Beetz in the lead role.

[Sethumadhavan Napan @Sethumadhavan]

#TheAeronauts (2019)-An interesting adventure film inspired by a true event that keeps us invested till the end, with the lead actors contributing a lot to it. Streaming on Amazon Prime.
