Gulumaal--Review

Director:V.K.Prakash

Producer:Sajitha Prakash

The famous ad-film maker V.K.Prakash has tried his luck a few times in Mollywood,but every time he has tasted failure.This time he has come up with a complete youth oriented movie starring Jayasurya and Kunchakko Boban,who is eager to make a strong comeback.
While coming to the movie,the screenplay and plot of the movie by a debutant one is too good and has something new to offer.But in simple words a good script spoiled a little by poor direction.The director should understand one thing that simply shaking the camera or picturising cartoon images doesn’t make things different but rather make things difficult.
The movie features two ‘Tharikida’ young guys,Jerry and Ravi Varma played by jayasurya and kunchakko respectively.Their quest for making money forms the one line of the story.A rare piece of painting comes into their hand for which a millionaire offers above a crore Indian money.Can they attain this immense wealth is what makes the movie go on.
Perfomance wise,Jayasurya has done a brilliant job.Eventhough his character has a negative shade,he has done it with ease.Kunchakko Boban is well suit to the role but doesn’t have much to perform.Mitra Kurian,as the sister of jayasurya is good.Suraaj Venjaramood even though with his usual numbers got enough applause.Other cast including Salim Kumar,Devan,Bijukkuttan has done their job well.
What makes the film bad is that the director has tried many things to make it different,but all spoiled.Frequent shakes in camera in first half ends in difficulty to watch.Some shots were brilliant,that need to be specified.The songs section was an utter failure.It seemed that the director picturised two songs to make the film a failure.Very very poor song picturisation,and the director needs to learn more about cinema and how it is different from Ad-films. In short a good script spoiled by an amateur director.

Verdict:Time Pass
Rating:3/5

Chemistry--Review

Direction:Viji Thampy

Script:Vinu Kiriyath

Camera:Sanjeev Shankar

Banner:Vaishnavi Creations

Theatre:Vinayaka Paradise,Kanhangad

Status:30%

People often say,audience avoid malayalam cinema and opt for tamil or other language movies,even dubbed versions.To know why,just spend some time and watch this film.If you find anything new in this film,that will be a great invention.

Coming to the movie,the movie revolves around the suicide of three girls doing their plus one in a private school,one of the hot stuff in media some months ago.Some initial enquiries on the case and all of a sudden another fresh year comes and heroine,Sharanya Mohan joins the school,in one of the vacancy of the late student.Then as usual,the ghost of one of the dead student enters into the body of the heroine..the rest forms the film.

Perfomance wise,Siddique,as the father of one of the dead student has given a good perfomance.Mukesh as the investigating officer and the uncle of the heroine is apt to the role and nothing much to offer.Vineeth is good and is seen in the role that we have seen him in a dozen times.Manoj.K.Jayan appearing in the last half of the film as the usual 'Manthravadi' is in the usual label.Sharanya Mohan is cute but does't have the grace,what she is supposed to have.Jagathy and Harisree Ashokan are in the responsibility to handle the comedy section.Atleast for one or two instants,they are just worse and the scene results in tragedy.Other co-actors are just ok.

Now in a whole,what is the need for taking this film.If you don't have anything new to offer in any department of the movie,just stop taking movies.How many times have malayalees seen the same old horror and at last a witch comes to the scene and forces the ghost out of the body and all.Shots are by sanjeev shankar and has nothing new.Music department is too weak and one song was very much misplaced that whoos came from audience.If you have plenty of time and loves to laugh at horror scenes just go for this movie.

Rating:2/5

Verdict:Sure flop

Neelathamara blooms again...

The recreation of the romantic memories of older times is not so easy.But Lal Jose and crew seems to be very optimistic about their very new venture ‘Neelathamara’.The movie featuring fresh faces is a brilliant adaptation of the romantic hit of 1979 with the same name itself.The older movie was penned by the literary face of Malayalam M.T.Vasudevan Nair.Once again he is recreating the magical touch with his script.

The title role of ‘Kunjimalu’ is portrayed by the fresh face Archana Kavi,a well known VJ.Also the male roles are enacted by new comers. Kalesh dons the role of Haridas, earlier enacted by Ravi Kumar while Ambika's brother Suresh is essaying the role of Appukkuttan, earlier played by Sathar. Rima Kallingal and Samvrutha Sunil joins the cast.Lal Jose,who is well known for his directorial magic is very hopeful of recreating the magic in the box-ofice.The main attraction of the movie is the script itself.Another master touch from M.T,’Pazhassiraja’ is creating waves in kerala theatres.Before its waves are set down,another script from the master writer is gonna grace theatres.

The film is being produced by Suresh Kumar under his own banner Revathi Kalamandir.The music of the film has been composed by Vidyasagar.The promo and one of the songs are on air,and seems very promising.The romantic number from vidyasagar,”Anuraga vilochananayi…” is a sure bet.Itz time for the ‘Neelathamara’ to bloom again…
The movie will grace the theatres on november 20.
All the very best for the film...
