Kayamkulam Kochunni (2018)
A must-watch on the big screen!
Kayamkulam Kochunni is undeniably one of the most captivating period drama among Malayalam movies. Nivin Pauly has more than done justice to the titular character. The cinematographers and art directors have indeed presented us with what is a masterfully crafted epic. The music and bgm has only enhanced the essence of the movie. Babu Antony is nothing but a marvel as the austere mentor, Thangal. In short, this half fictional- half historical movie is totally worth the money spent!
What to expect from the movie: A lauded tale of the regional Robinhood (with some clear variations to accommodate the audience) -- a then-typical love; a visual treat that takes you to the 1800's all through the two and a half hours and much of phenomenal swashbuckling.
What could've been avoided: The hype for Ithikkara Pakki. There has been too much of a hype for a character other than the main protagonist. IMO, the role of Ithikkara Pakki could be justified even if anyone other than the Big M had played it. (Completely a personal opinion)
