" The Kung Fu Master " Malayalam movie.
Abrid Shine does extensive background work on his projects, before venturing into them. If the movie '1983' was on cricket, 'Action Biju' was on Police life and 'Poomaram' was solely on youth festival.
In this project, he has selected 'Wing Chun' ...a Southern Chinese Kung Fu technique, as a theme for this presentation. Wing Chun' a form of self defense that requires quick hand and leg movements, to conquer over the opponent. Abrid Shine was able to introduce the Mallu audience, some un-adulterated action sequences, without any dupes not any camera techniques.
Storyline revolves around the brother sister couple, both Wing Chun' experts, suffering some personal damages and loses due to attack by a goon gang and the revenge follows. The background scenery is beautiful, as the story is happening at Rishikesh, Dehradun and Mana the last village on Indian side....snow clad scenic settings for a Kung Fu climax fight.
Director, himself taking care of the action sequences, has choreographed the fight scenes to perfection.
The story is so flimsy and usual revenge thread, which we would have seen in, so many grade 3 Chinese Kung Fu movies.
7 on 10 ....get ready for some rapid fire punches.
Even though most of the actors are naive and debutantes, they have perfectly done the action choreography, to mask their inexperience. Neeta Pillai has grown from the bubbly girl' image of 'Poomaram' to a disciplined killing machine, in this presentation.
Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan ... not your cup of tea.... Forget about this movie.
Me, enjoyed those speedy repeated punches, very much ... Ouch ! Looks like, I dislocated my shoulder.
