The King and The Commissioner--- Malayalam Movie Review

So this review needs a hell lot of introductions....perhaps the most among all the movies I have reviewed in my blog...It happened way back when I m studying my plus two..I just told my friend that a second part of King is coming up and it is named as "Thevaliparambil Joseph Alex" and also another second part of Narasimham is coming titled " Paramidhikaram " where Mammotty will play the master role and Mohanlal will come as Induchoodan....MY friends laughed at me saying that is the buzz I made myself but now my comment came true after a long gap of 5-6 years and still no words abour Paramadhikaram from the makers....Lets hope that will also materialise in one day...Then coming to the movie.. I have no problems in saying that I m a Mammotty fan...Yeah once I was a so hardcore fan but eventually turned up to be a movie lover....And also this is the first Mammotty movie I m reviewing right over here...in my blog...and also that one turned out to the most expected movie in the recent times....So when the movie I just booked my seats at Escape Cinemas Chennai...Truly a wonderful watching experience...So going into the movie


The King and The Commissioner - A Verbal Extravaganza



Just entered into the theater with no expectations at all because I heard a lot of mixed/negative responses about the movie even in the releasing day itself...yeah postive reviews were also there....So no expectations.....also I watched a movie with high expectations recently and it turned out to be a nightmare for me...So for this one I just wanted to hear some good dialogues...thats it...

The movie started and the introduction of the King(Mammotty) was the first one..welcomed with claps eventhough its a multiplex with high profile or family audiences...The second intro was of the Commissioner(Suresh Gopi0 and that too was welcomed with nice claps...then movie started to go on...Eventhough the movie doesnt have a strong storyline as everytime I wont go for the single slice of story line...The technical part of the movie...Coming to the major part ..Editing...the editor deserves 50 percent appreciation and other 50 percent scolding(:P)....becuase there is a hell lot of scenes which can be trimmed and that would have made the movie much more better(not means current version is bad) ....he should have used some gimmicks also(dont know whether the same needs to be done in the camera side or editing side) but still he had a done a nice job because the director has the last say on the scenes to be included...So there I would like to say movie needs a trimming atleast by 15-20 minutes and that can be easily done.Camera work as usual happens in a Shaji sytle but with some enchancements on various sides...but 90 percent the same we have seen in previous Shaji Kailas movies...The other part of these kind of movies is the BGM....I heard several people telling BGM was so superb...I too accept it was good but it should have used with little more thinking so that the punch can be delivered more perfectly many times I felt BGM was not used in the places it is needed....Then coming to the most important parts...Script and Direction...Script was as usual filled with racy dialogues...I wont know why people say there is no story line in the script ....In a Renji Paniker script I dont know who is expecting a class storyline...Except Dr Pashupathi which movie from him has a classy storyline....I my knowledge no movie was there...It would the sequences by which hero reaches and traps the villain...Still I wont say this script is in par with the orginals but still not failed to maintain the standards...he should have made it little more better but this one proves he still have the fire within him...And finally about the direction...Shaji Kailas was way good compare to his recent flicks....even then he is not at his best...and he can be good if he gets some more stronger stuff and this movie proves that...Normally I look my watch while watching the movie and number of times I look my watch counts how much boring is the movie...For this one I looked only 2 times...One at the interval and other while the movie entered into the climax and this makes me feel that eventhough the movie lasted for 3hrs 10 minutes it was taken in a racy way which will keep you watch ...Again dont expect a pakka out n out new substance in this one..you can see traces from the yester year hits like King,Commissioner and Ekalavyan.


OK...So the major part acting.....I heard my friends saying Mammotty cant do this again and he is already weak...Ohh dear friends...go n watch..look at easynes he is delivering his stuff....Every fan of Mammotty can be proud of that...At this age he maintain his class and standard....Dialogue delivery is supreme.....I m not saying he is having an exceptional performance in this one but he still remains the same King as we have seen him 17 years back....But the only sad part I felt about him in this movie was the dialogues were not so punchy as in the older ones...He has delivered watever is given to him...bt dialogues should have been made little more powerful and memorable...Renji if u are making a movie on Mammotty again...please aware of this face...Then the Commissioner...Suresh Gopi as usual terriffc....Phaa Pulee still strikes...He did his role very well and the dialogues were also powerful and punchy...still no dialogue which will keep in yur memory...Wonderful performance from  both the stars and also they share equal screenspace....Rest of the actors I dont felt anyone to be mentioned except the Assistant Biju pappan...he did his part well....Saikumar's role was a terrible failure ....Never ever near Narendra Prasad...Rest all of roles were ok and nothing special to mention....The movie is full n full Mammotty and Suresh Gopi and that will make you watch this one ....Scenes of Samvrtha and Janadharnan needs to be trimmed which can increase the pace of the movie...Hoping that will happen soon...


3 hours and 10 minutes is one of the bad things about this movie and that needs to be reduced and the best thing is this is the one I felt is maintaining the same standards with the orginals eventhough it is not in par with them....Scripting needs little more tight ....Hope Renji will take care of that next time...I m sure this will set the cash registers ringing as it has enough content for that...May be it wont run into the blockbuster levels that the makers have expected it will run to a sureshot hit...and due to the wide release collection will also be good as I said earlier....



My Rating : 6.5/10 ---Watch it ..You will have your money worth and have some master dialogues........


Note : Mammokkaa....People watch out for his shirts....Superbbbb and simply superbb....This is what we call executive...I have noted and started my search for them....Wonderful costumes....



One more thing I want to mention here...I have seen a hell lot of negatives promotions for this movie even before the first show got over...Yeah we can assume its the Mohanlal fans..but they are not wrong at all...because Mammotty fans have done the same stuff for Casanova some time back....simple saying works for both of them "Koduthal Kollathum Kitum" but why ...do we really need this...Poster tampering and negative promo with the help of social media....The only result that will happen is the so called superstars will die eventually....and nothing will be left over for these fans to tamper at all...And for those who say " Mohanlal and Mammotty should stop acting " I would like to ask them " Who the hell acts better than them in Indian Cinema"...Yeah I do accept there is Kamalhassan and Nasarudden Shah but leave them out and think ....Infact no actors are there in the whole Indian cinema which boasts out of the second in the world to Hollywood.....By considering this...My dear Mohanlal and Mammotty fans " Dont kill our stars ....you will not have another one to celebrate".......Let their movies come and go ...It it is good it will be a hit otherwise a flop....I understand next time a Lal movie comes...mostly Grandmaster...Mammotty fans will do the same...But please refrain from it and think....

Kahani --Hindi Movie Review

Kahani -- A Perfect watch

So this time no introductions, directly pepping into the review.The only factor which made me watch this movie was Vidya,perhaps for the first time in Bollywood I m seeing some heroism in a heroine....:) ...So just decided to watch this out

The movie starts with some terror attack and then Vidya Bagtchi coming out of the Airport  and then it  like a stiched shirt from a branded company ....yeah every scene is perfectly matched up...Infact the life in the characters are very good. You can watch this at the very starting itself, in the taxi driver who picks Vidya from the airport and from there every small character has a life which will keep the audience very much interested in the movie.....Apart from Vidya I liked the little boy called Vishnu....wonderful feeling when I watched him on the screen eventhough the screenspace is very much less...I prays that he will become a superstar one day...And another thing I felt is , the locations , they even add more charm to the story line,this happens only in a very less number of movies, and in Kahani it happened in a very perfect way...Kudos goes to the camera man and the editor...Coming again to the movie in detail....I dont think Vidya have made an exemplary performance as in Ishqiya or DP....she is good, very well acted but not extraordinary ....The plot is actually very well made and the script is so strong that the actors and actresses in the movie is strongly binded together which will automatically takes a wonderful acting performance from them....I think most of the guys are theater artists....and that can been seen in the easyness of their acting....The Professional Killer guy was seriously superb...I felt in love with the character....The outlook, the way he behaves everything was so fresh....Again salute goes to director and the script writer....In this way if you take each part of this movie, you can see a wonderful work which can be associated with a nice crew behind the movie.....So shots of the movie is so good such a way that it you will feel love with Kolkata.....

So all over, this is one of the movies which made me feel my money is worth and also made me think that bollywood is going way high than the usual choco love stories...Big thanks to Vidya for selecting these kind of roles and delivering it perfectly and also to the entire team behind this movie......All the best for that Vishnu too.....

My rating is 7/10 -- A Perfect Watch

The Good The Bad The Weird - Korean Movie Review

So after creating much voices and trembles across various forums with the review of Ee Adutha Kalath...now I m back...this time its a foreign film, I think my first in this blog eventhough I am an avid fan of foreign movies...ok..So the movie doesnt come up naturally ..it was very much intentional ...One day during our movie discussion my friend Bavan bhai suggested me this movie because we were talking about the historic Good Bad and Ugly...I think every Eastwood must have watched that movie and for those who doesnt watched that movie , I am damn sure you must have heard the BGM of the movie which is one of the best BGM's ever created in the movie history.....So I just checked internet and other sites which has given this Good Bad and Weird terrific  ratings ...So no rethoughts directly downloaded and then kept in my lap for a long time and finally watched two days back.Here goes my review

The Good The Bad The Weird  --- Experience a Terrific Movie watching

Normally Korean movies are too much famous for its romantic outlooks and the way it picturises the romanticism in the movies....I think even English movies doesnt each anywhere near it except some exceptions.The action movies I remember from Korean cinema is Brotherhood of War and Siri where the first one simply in my ever time favorite lists. But this one really made me amazed ....What an action sequences yaar....perfect and that too with too much perfection that you wont see much loop holes except in the climax where you can think the usual question " Why the main leads are always escaping ?" :) Perhaps the movie needs it not only this but every movie....So going detail into the review

The movie is all about a chase. Chase for the treasure and there is a train robbing sequence in the starting ....I have seen such a train sequence evertime in my life....Realistic action with much perfection...For the entire movie you can find such type of actions....The Camera man needs special mention as you can see the angles just add more timings and terrificness to the action scenes and there comes the other important part ..Editing....Boy !!! this is again brilliant leaving no chances for the audience to re think...Nam Na Young did a very wonderful job here....I know most of you doesnt know this guy....even I doesnt know him.... :) .....So then the part which needs to appreciated is the BGM which is superb still I didnt found it so catchy as the Eastwood one.....Ok I mentioned almost all technical and crew aspects....One Guy needs a great applause for making this movie...that is the Director....Even Hollywood will watch n think about the perfect scenes  of this movie....Simply great....and one more this is the most budgeted movie from Koren cinema till 2009.....

And coming to the Actors.....In the original I felt Eastwood was so dominating with his power packed performance but in this one everyone is awesome....actors are actually competing themselves for brilliant scenes....Great movies are always like that....Nothing will be left out....Sadly or Fortunately there were no actresses so nothing to deviate your thoughts :P .......Full paced with action which will will make you in the edge of the seats....Every scene is so perfect such that you cant say which is the best scene even climax is like that......There is no negatives in the movie as per my point of view expect that the script comes from a Hollywood movie bt the result was a movie which is in par or I would say above the original....A Must watch for all movie lovers and all action freaks....


My rating is 9/10 ----- Must n Must watch

Ee Adutha Kalathu - Malayalam Movie Review

So for a Malayalam movie after a long time perhaps its after Casanova.....When I landed to Trivandrum, I have decided to go to a movie.....That was Nidra and I decided to watch Ee adutha Kalathu when it comes to Chennai....but unfortunately Nidra was playing only one show and that too as 11 30 show which is too difficult to me...So I decided to go for Ee Adutha Kalath along with my family. I took this one over Shikari because I heard reviews like excellent, wonderful etc.....So I just decided to watch out this one...Here goes my review

Ee Adutha Kalath - A miserable waste 

The very first thing that came upto my mind when I saw the title was ' a refreshing header'.The titling was good but not best....but I didnt realized that a dreadful 2 hours was awaiting me ....Jagathy's backdrop voice was good and it evoked some good sense but from the very first scene movie was going out of control of the director and the director has failed terribly in maintaining a story line with a good flow...I have some questions to the director...I will have at the end of my review....Then coming back to the movie again...I didnt saw any technical perfection at any point of the movie...either its camera , editing, songs or any stuff....All was just ordinary...And I dont know who was handling the camera but seriously boss you are tooo bad for a movie ...or I think your never know the job.....Sometimes the camera angles reflected some B grade porn movies which is not at all accepted at any cost for a kind of movie which families would intend to go and watch....Understand the logic Mr Cameraman....Try to handle the lens well dont try to over capture the actress beauty and that would lead you to big troubles.....See some movies at least some old malayalam movies and then do the job....Then I have nothing special about the crew...Only an average job guys.....Better luck next time

Then coming to the actors and actress parts....The only positives you can watch out in this movie are Jagathy and Indrajith ,rest all others are just waste....I saw Murali Gopi intending too much to re create the eccentric sadistic husband we have seen in Bharath Gopi in the 80s but Mr Son, you are no where near your father....Atleast try to learn from that great actor by watching his movies and his ease of acting.....Jagathy was wonderful...Eventhough the scenes were less for thim, he again proved he is the master of this.....Indrajith was good but the traits were similar to City of God....But I can see a good potential actor in him....And there ends the positives from this movie in this area....Nishan, the new actor along with others failed miserably .....Yeah forgot to mention Anoop Menon....Sir dont do these kind of the roles it will destroy your career....I m a nice fan of you....but these kind of roles and your presence in these movies will make me along with the normal people of Kerala think your movies are multiplex movies with overdose of sex and extramarital affair ....Do you want to create such a image...Dont sink your careeer......The new actresses is good only in looks and nothing much other than that..but we should appreciate the effort she has put and that is visible in the screen....thats it.....

Ok Coming to final point from me about the movie....too dragging...a simple story extended to 2 hours without anything much in it...Felt I should have better slept at home...Anyway Mr Director..I would like to ask one question ....What you think sex is for and of.?.....Cocktail was ok... even though some dialogues where intending the sex too much...but in this you crossed all the limits.....What the hell you think about Malayali's attitude towards life,marriage and sex....Watching porn movies or scandals scenes doesn't means we are perverts  if so the entire world is full of perverts....if you dont know how to handle sex or intimate scenes in a movie...go n watch how Bharathan , Padmarajan did that....Seriously my dear friends many parts of this movie implies too much sex and abuse words in it such a way that you will find in a terribly wrong place if you are with your family.....We the audience need to think once more whether we need these kind of multiplex bullshits....Whether we need these kind of crap movies which try to think ' All these are happening the the society so it came up in the movie?'..... even though nothing big is happening here than the other parts of the world.....The worst thing I found in this movie is that the director is showing sex as a vulgar thing.....Does it so.....Imagine how wonderfully our yesteryear actors and directors picturised it on screen....Think again and go for these kind of movies.....Seriously I m not getting much words to continue...Total waste.....

My rating is 1.5/10 --- Watch it if you get a ticket free and dont ever go with your family

Aravan - Tamil Movie Review

So its a long time since I have written my last review.But no worries as I know I dont know so much fans for this blog who is literally waiting for my review to be out :P ....Hope the same will happen one day...Anyway I watched a lot of movies in between but my busy schedule got a lock on my reviews...The movies I have watched in between where Dhoni 2012,Kathalil Sozapuvath Eppadi and Aravan... I decided to come up with Aravan review and may be KSE review may follow this...not sure...So about the movie...it was a not a must watch movie which I m waiting for a long time to get on screen....but I have a hope in my mind that this movie will make some mark in the recent watched movies.So when it came out I just decided to give a watch and here goes the review

Aravan - A Brilliant Attempt

As usual dont expect any story lines from my review.The movie has wonderful crafting which you can see has extracted its roots from Apocalypto. As a director Vasanthabalan has achieved a wonderful feat from this movie than later movies like Angaditheru and Veyil. Earlier he was calculated a director with potential of getting audiences into the theater irrespective of the start cast but now by Aravan he proved he is Director who has a hell lot of capabilities.Another thing which needs to mention is Editing and Cinematography .....Super stuff just keeping the pace of the movie within it without any leakage.A let down I felt is camera...many shots which can be made exquisite were wasted and also I didn't find any exceptional work from camera even when the story plot offers that.Camera work should have improved a little more...The on the music part, I felt its just ok...Songs not boring watchable  and hearable too. In the various part of the movie, I saw the director is going for a round circular shots which he tried to symbolize the earth and also the sons of earth policy..dont know how much and how far the audience got hold of that...Last to say about the technical part of the movie.....Some graphics were so pathetic such that it might have been avoided.Terribly went wrong...Hope Vasanthbalan will not attempt these kind of graphics work anymore....So thats it about the technical side of the movie....All over I would say a good movie with a nice work of various stuffs...

Coming to the actors and actresses part.....Pasupathy was mindblowing.....Simply fantastic ....It has been a long time since I have watched him on silver screen and now he is back with a blow....great acting which is amazingly fine tuned.....Aravan made me once again a strong fan of Pasupathy.....No words to say his performance...Then comes Aathi....Nice acting....Need some more tuning but no worries....he did it very well from his other movies and this guy seems to have a wonderful career ahead and that too with these type of characters at the starting stage of acting.....He worked a hard for this character and that we can see in his acting....Kudos to him....Apart from that there is no other actor who deserve to mentioned.Among the actresses part Archana Kavi and the other girl did a good job but I wont say that was exceptional....May be the script didn't offered some stuff for them or they didnt used the stuff which was there....Anyway u wont get feel bored or something like that......

Finally about the climax of the movie.....Superb....I didn't expected that seriously........ may be other audience should have expected but I never expected it.....Wonderful climax....

My rating is 7/10..Watch it ..You dont loss ur money
