Ividam Swargamanu Malayalam Film Review

A land dealer Chandy wants to buy a farm from a farmer Mathews.For Chandy the objective is to sell this land at a good profit to a businessman.But Mathews who made a lot of sacrifices to build up this farm is not willing to sell it.Then a cat and mouse game starts whereby Chandy with his influence start slapping cases against Mathews and his farm.He also gives false hopes of a model township to local people,who also turn against Mathews.But Mathews with the help of Advocate Sunita and Advocate Prabalan turn tables on Chandy with an ingenious scheme of hoodwinking Chandy himself.

Director Roshan is successful in telling this story with elements of humor convincingly.But the starting portions drag a bit and little bit of editing was necessary at that point.The character of Jagathy was an interesting one and Jagathy has done justice to that character.A minor disappointment was Lalu Alex who for most of the part was convincing as Chandy,but in some scenes failed to make the desired impact.

My rating : ABOVE AVERAGE

Paleri Manikyam Oru Kolapathakathinte Kadha Malayalam Film Review

A man and a woman reaches a remote village in Kerala to enquire about the death of a woman which happened 52 years ago.As per official records the woman died of seizure,but after interviewing surviving people from that time,they reach a conclusion that it was a murder,which was suppressed by the influence of a powerful landlord.They zero in on landlord's son which leads to a surprising climax.

Mammootty in the role of detective shines,he also plays the role of landlord as well as his son.He does justice to all these roles.Siddique and Srinivasan play their roles to perfection.Director Ranjith has to be commended for taking up a subject where he had to recreate Kerala landscape of 50 years ago.He succeeds in it and is able to juxtapose the past and present and keep the viewers on the edge as far as suspense quotient is considered.There is also another angle to this where role of communist party is examined in suppressing the facts about this case in connivance with landlord.

This movie is adapted from a novel of same name  written  by T.P Rajeevan

My rating : EXCELLENT

Loudspeaker Malayalam Film review

Mike is a simpleton from a remote village,who is in town for donating his kidney to an ailing rich man Anand Menon.Mike always talk in his loud booming voice which irritates people,but he is good at heart and is willing to help anyone.He stays with Anand Menon in his flat.Anand who was initially skeptical about him later find out the goodness in him.

Mammoty is perfectly cast as Mike.He is able to convey the expressions of a village simpleton to perfection.The weak point in the movie is the back story of Anand,which is not convincing one.Initially we are intrigued what might be the reason Anand is alone and estranged from his relatives and director also through some images keeps you in anticipation,but when it comes to the reason,it do not pass muster.The brat kids scenes are also not done well and fails in projecting the intended humour.All the actors from Sasikumar,Cochin Haneefa,Salimkumar,Jagathi to Janardhanan do justice to their roles.In spite of such a heart warming theme and good execution,film fails to touch a cord with me.May be it is the snail like pace of the movie.

Bhramaram Malayalam Film Review

Unni along with wife and daughter has a comfortable life till a stranger arrives at their doorstep.Stranger informs Unni that he was a childhood friend of him,but Unni struggles to recollect this.Reluctantly he takes him in and later he founds that this stranger happens to be someone he wronged in his childhood.By that time it was late since the stranger forces Unni to travel with him to his place.The film chronicles this jouney where a close friend of Unni also joins them.

Mohanlal plays the role of stranger whose mannerisms fluctuate between that of a sane and insane person to perfection.Suresh Menon and Murali Gopy who play the roles of Unni and his friend is adequate.

Blessy as a director shines in parts,but is guilty of allowing too much melodrama towards the end.Eventhough touted as a suspense thriller,viewers can easily guess what lies ahead.The character of Murali Gopy should have been explored further.

My rating: AVERAGE
