Joshi directed Mohanlal film - Run Baby Run - hit the theaters on the beautiful Thiruvonam day. The story is by Sachi of the Sachi-Sethu team who wrote the story of the full-length comedy film "Seniors". Joshi's new film Run Baby Run shows the competition of TV channels and the challenges they face. Since it is a Joshi-Mohanlal collaboration film, I initially thought of not going because there would be the usual heroism and "killing thirty people at once" numbers. It is enough for someone to go and see it, come back and leave a review. Not only that, I had heard that Thapana and Mumumakan that had just arrived were not good enough.

Although nowadays it is considered as a typical dish of Indian cuisine, however,...
