Thakkol (2019)
7/10
Biblical themed drama mystery
8 December 2019
" Thakkol " Malayalam movie.

This is the story of Fr. Ambrose ...his childhood, his life in theology, his life as the junior priest of a stubborn and very strict senior, his home coming as the head priest of his home town and his piles... Yes his PILES ( Haemorrhoids).

This drama genre movie turns into a mystery after the priest's homecoming.... The search of a lock, that could be opened with a specific KEY ( Thakkol ).

The whole presentation has a overtone of biblical theme and deals with the hierarchy of the church and it's padres.

Photography is mostly in portrait mode, rich and visual treat. Storyline maintains some amount of suspense, which lacks it's punch.

Murali Gopi and Indrajith did well, on screen, as senior and junior priests.

7 on 10 for this 'barely watchable' presentation.

Screenplay was prolonged, unnecessarily, at lots of areas. It also took, lots of time to affix the characteristics of main characters.

Piles or Haemorrhoids... Whatever name you, this malady, the suffering was clear on the face of Indrajith, throughout the presentation.
