Nanpakal Nerathu deals with mysticism, the story has magical realism in it.
Based on the idea that we are sometimes different people in our dreams, shown in the movie as inspired from a couplet by a famous Tamil poet.
The complex character transition of the protagonist was humorous.
The rural village setting was beautifully captured.
The most interesting thing was the high contrast between the two personalities the protagonist plays.
More than the acting performances, the directorial brilliance is what makes the movie stand out, the technique to picturize an otherwise banal script into a visual comedy, like a little Shakespearian Midsummer Night's Dream.
This is the second movie of Lijo's that I liked, after Ee Ma Yau.
Not that his other movies are pure trash, but they dealt with subjects/stories I could not appreciate.
Lijo is a brilliant director who has a great aesthetic sense, all of his movies have scenes that are aesthetically amazing.
I liked the short story on which Jallikattu was based (Maoist by Hareesh), but the adapted screenplay was pretty deviated from the original story I felt.
