Guppy (2016)
A Beautiful Tale
Guppy is a malayalam language drama film written and directed by Johnpaul George.The protagonist of the story is a boy known as guppy, as he sells guppy to earn a living.The boy works in a teashop and sells guppy to look after his mother,whose lower half of the body is paralyzed.But events turn out when a rivalry arises between him and an engineer Thejus Varkey who came there to construct an over-bridge in the area.
The best word to describe the film would be 'Beautiful'.Yeah,it is beautiful in every sense-the cinematography is beautiful,the music is beautiful, the performances are beautiful,the direction is beautiful even the script is beautiful.Ever aspect of the film deservers applause-the direction,screenplay, cinematography, music,performances, editing, makeup,art direction, costume design,make up everyone has done a brilliant job.This is one of the few films in which almost every actor has given a 'perfect' performance.You could hardly point out any actor who has either overacted or underacted.Despite not having a great story,what makes guppy so good are it's characters,out of which many remains in our heart even after watching the film.Every character has been carefully written.The backstories along with the simplicity of the characters play an important role in making them so good.Eventhough the script was well balanced the 'automatic wheelchair' plot proved to be a disturbance.Both the background score and music was perfect for the 'beautiful' script along with the splendid visuals which at times seemed 'too good'.Eventhough the film had a lot of subplots(some of which could have been reduced)and the narration has a medium pace,it rarely test's your patience.It deals with many subjects like friendship,love(both mother-son love and girl-boy love),revenge,hope,loses but the theme which the director tried to convey at the end was unclear.But in the end it proved to be a beautiful tale which is not only a visual but also an emotional treat for the audiences
Koodevide? (1983)
An Underrated Classic
Koodevide is a malayalam language drama film written and directed by Padmarajan.I am so sad to say that i have'nt heard even a single person talking about it.If not for Padmarajan i would'nt have probably watched the film.I watched the film with little expectations and i was so surprised at how good the film was.I never expected it to be that good.
It tells us about the problems that arises when a man(mammootty) suspects the relationship between his lover(suhasini),who is a teacher with her student.It is an excellent drama filled with stellar performances.Mammootty who is too good in pulling out negative characters does the same here again.Rahman shines with his performance as the innocent young boy while Suhasini's performance was top notch as a women struggling between her lover and her student.The soundtrack composed by Johnson like in other Padmarajan movies was fantastic.The script written by Padmrajan was, as always was fantastic filled with a lot of emotions and some memorable characters.Unlike other dramas in the early 80's the incidents happening in the films seems to be reasonable on considering the character of Mammootty.It is one of those films in 80's which should be counted as a classic and undoubtly one of the best directional ventures of the legend Padmarajan.
Thanneer Mathan Dhinangal (2019)
Full of entertainment
Thanneermathan Dinangal is a malayalam romantic comedy film directed by Girish A.D.The film which is written by Girish A.D and Dinoy Poulose shows the +1 and +2 life of Jaison and team.The major plus point or the thing that makes the film so good is that it is extremely entertaining.Ever miniute,every second,even every fraction of a second is engaging and entertaininig in its own way.The film has avoided all sorts of cliches and the characters and comedies are nostalgic to almost everyone who has completed +2.All the performences are top notch especially the performances of Mathew Thomas and Vineeth Sreenivasan.The director has also done a brilliant job.The way he established characters were excellent and the comedies without any sort of cliches were well excecuted.The film despite having lots of characters gave importance to all characters,even small characters like Melvins mother and Basil's father.Even after the film many of the characters stand in our mind.Even Jaison's brothers, father,mother and relatives has it's own depth.The camera work by Jomon.T.John,who also produced the film were good,especially the scenes in 'Jatikka thottam'.The dialogues,especially between friends were very good,the way they speak,their comedies were well exceuted.Another thing that makes the film so good is it's climax which none of the audiences will forget.The climax was a perfect
blend of everything,nothing more or nothing less .Thanneermathan Dinangal is a tale of friendship and +2romance.It is a film that can be watched by everyone without the barriers of age.100% Entertainment
City of God (2011)
Pretty Good
City of god is a 2011 malayalam movie directed by Lijo Jose Pelliserry. It is basically a crime thriller and the film uses a hyperlink narrative.The film deals with 4 stories: 1)Prithviraj and his friend Sony
2)Rema Kallingal and his husband
3)Remya Nambisan and her friend
4)A group of tamil migrant workers(Indrajith and Parvathy)
While the first three stories are interlinked ,the last one(tamil migrant workers) stands alone and according to me that is the major problem of the film. Almost all the actors have performed well.There us not much to talk about the performance of Prithviraj's and Swetha Menon but Indrajith along with Parvathy,Rima Kallingal,Rohini,Anil Murali ,Sudheer Karamanhave performed very well but what really surprised me was the performance of Chemban Vinod. Even though he only got a few scenes he has performed extremely well.He just nailed it.The handy cam work by Sujith Vasudev was just mesmerizing.Lijo has again done a brilliant work with the different narrative style and has also been careful not to add any cliché.The film is pretty good but could have been better if the script could have linked the story of Indrajith with the other three and also could have given much more role to Remya Nambisan. A must watchable for all those who love Lijo's work.
Mayaanadhi (2017)
Love is flowing
Mayanadi is a malayalam language romantic drama film directed by Aashiq Abu and written by Syam Pushkar and Dileesh Nair.
It is a fact that the script of the film is weak but it is not a bad script.Love is floating throughout the film.
Most of the actors have done justice to their roles especially Tovino Thomas who has done the role of Mathan brilliantly.
Aashiq Abu has beautifully directed the movie.It is probably the best directional venture of him.
Rex Vijayan has once again won in understanding the tone of the film and composing music in that tone.The song "Uyirine Nadye" really has no tune but the composing of Rex Vijayan has made it a beautiful song.
Cinematographer Jayesh Mohan does'nt had to do much movement with camera but he has beautifully captured the visuals especially the visuals at night.
Mayanadi is a beautiful love story that is watchable for all people especially those who love love stories
