MEMORIES MOVIE REVIEW
Till this morning, I had rated Jeethu Joseph as a director who belongs neither to the biggest league or the paltry level that hardly anyone cares. He always cared to play it safe at the box-office with films that ensur at least its budget recovery and catered to the taste of a target audience. But all that notions were due for a shock-treatment after the next two and a half hours. And the species called 'Prithviraj haters' find your den to hide as this one is nearly flawless.
This investigative thriller is both scripted and directed by Jeethu Joseph and produced by P.K.Muralidharan and Shantha Murali, who had earlier produced Prithvi's evergreen hit Classmates and Chocolate, under the banner Anantha Visions.. The film, which is a taut thriller, has Prithvi and Meghna Raj in the lead has Nedumudi Venu, Vijayaraghavan, Suresh Krishna, Madhupal, Sreejith Ravi, Rahul Madhav, and Mia in crucial roles.
Prithviraj's histrionics comes to the limelight with his superlative portrayal of the drunkard police officer. Sam Alex (Prithvi) is a man living in his indelible memories that his profession had inflicted on him. Writing the whole story here will definitely prove to be spoilers. The investigation starts with Sam Alex being assigned the task of finding the retaliatory killer wreaking havoc in the state. Jeethu manages to blend family drama, crime investigation, and Sam's personal and professional life in perfect proportions.
The narrative garners pace with each scene and the interval punch leaves you at the edge of your seats. Second half leaves you biting your nails and Jeethu has taken special care to maintain the quintessential suspense factor till the climax.
There is only one song, sung by Vijay Yesudas, that treads the protagonist's past. Cinematography also deserves good scores. The film is crisply edited with a duration of 2 hours 20 minutes. The only cons that can be mentioned, just for the namesake, are some lag in the first half and performances of some fresh faces. But the fact is that they are not playing any noteworthy roles and the script is brilliant enough to make it up. According to my personal opinion, the film is a MUST WATCH and the best thriller that I have watched in Malayalam in the recent past. You just can't help but clap at the climax scene. Prithviraj is making waves with his investigative thrillers after the 'Suresh Gopi era'.

Pranayam Review |
The thin line that draws the three main protagonists in Pranayam together stretches over a time span of more than forty years. Achutha Menon (Anupam Kher) comes across his first love Grace (Jayaprada) in an elevator, forty years after they had separated. Grace has been married to Mathews (Mohanlal) for long. Much water has flowed away and many autumns have shed their leaves. And yet, when chance throws the three of them together again, fresh sprouts of memories of a withered love spring up again. As much as it sounds romantic, the superficiality that pervades the entire film cannot be ignored in a hurry. For one, Blessy is never able to strike up a solid link between the past and the present, and though much time is spent on falling in love in the seventies, there is not much in it that suggests of an ever lasting romance. Getting wet in the rain, and singing songs on the train is almost as far as he gets.
Contrastingly, Mathews and the relationship that he shares with Grace has all the warmth of a romance that has mellowed over time. It still shows signs of blooms that are just around the corner, and time has obviously had a say on the constancy that they have arrived at. The writing fails Achutha Menon and his love miserably, while its infinitely better when it comes to Grace and Mathews.
The dialogues are a huge letdown in Pranayam, and barring a few gems that are mouthed by Mathews, there are very few instances when you listen to a line in it and a gulp escapes your throat. Like the one when Mathews says of doors left ajar, through which love seeps in unnoticed. Unfortunately such instances are few in Paranayam, and very far between.
Ironically, Mathews in a scene comments on the certainty of death, and in a compelling counsel suggests that its not a abrupt end, but rather a gradual progression towards an inevitability that lies in wait. And yet, Blessy's obsession with physical loss continues in Pranayam as well, and his story as well as its characters can't help being a part of the climatic breakdown that ensues with the demise of one of the lead characters.
The clichés that arrive bundled up as the immediate relatives of the three lead characters, mar the possibilities of the film even further. There is Suresh (Anoop Menon), the proverbial son who has been denied everything on account of a mother who had disappeared during childhood, and his emotional tussle with Grace, draws the focus further away from love, and the pangs of it.
The trio of actors who make this film worth a watch, is also the best thing about it. There are any number of occasions when the story and the situations threaten to bog them down, and they never for a moment let that happen. My favorite from among the three, would definitely have to be Mohanlal, who is remarkably brilliant as Mathews. Almost everything about his act - be it the impeccable body language or the flawless dubbing - is praiseworthy, and yet it remains one of the actor's most subdued and restrained performances ever.
Jayaprada is equally convincing as the woman caught in a quandary at a late phase in her life, and all the struggles that she goes through are evident, and the frustrations right in place. Anupam Kher, with the lengthiest of the three roles, perhaps makes a slightly less of an impression, chiefly on account of a voice that doesn't often gel with the character that he plays.
Pranayam does strain hard to achieve the nuances of an enchantingly sublime love, but ends up being a literal minded love tale, with one among the three lovers oddly left out. The chief reason you should probably watch it for then, is because it showcases three of the nation's best actors who are in supreme form.
Sevens Review |
Joshi's new film 'Sevenes' has an important point to make, and it does so convincingly with about two and a half hours of its running time. But soon involved in the proceedings we come across this depressing news, that this point has been made; a million times before.
So the Sevenes Team consists of Shyam (Kunchacko Boban), Sooraj (Asif Ali), Shoukath (Nivin Pauly), Sarath (Renjith Menon), Arun (Aju), Satheesh (Vijish) and Linto (Amir), a bunch of youngsters whose love for football has bonded them together. They are all engaged in a struggle to survive, and each has a story to tell of his own.
Haven't there been enough and more films that have portrayed the plight of a young generation that treads the path of blood and violence, in their quest to make some quick money? Sevens has nothing new to say on that account, and everything in it has been said and seen before.
The big question is who would be really interested to see an action thriller that is quite uninventive? Sevens is the kind of film that isn't difficult to sit through, and yet you have this nagging feeling in your mind that you had something better to do. No wonder it flits out of your orbit almost as soon as the final credits start rolling.
There is nothing wrong in misspelling one's name if one believes that luck would lie in wait around the corner after the change, but how could one possibly justify adding an extra 'e' to a word as 'Sevens'? I don't see anything achieved at least visibly, except for the gross disfiguring that has occurred.
And it all proceeds from bad to worse towards the climax, where the story runs out of ideas, and looks around frantically for a new villain. There is an attempt to thrown in a surprise towards the end, but by then, nothing works in the film.
The seven boys along with Vineeth Kumar and Mithun, have done a decent job of what they have been offered. Their performances are extremely believable, and they prove that there is no dearth of talent when it comes to acting in the industry. What we need perhaps then, is some real solid writing to back them up.
It was good to see Nadia Moithu back in action, and as the stringent cop Amala Vishnunath, she does manage to perk up the affairs a bit in the latter half. Not that she has much to do in the film, but she does leave a mark, especially when you consider the other female leads in the film - Bhama, who has been paired with Kunchacko Boban, and Rima Kallingal who strikes up a rapport with Asif Ali.
Mostly, 'Sevenes' is old wine that has been corked into an older looking bottle. Not the kind that you would savor on a festive occasion.

Doctor Love Review |
In K.Biju's 'Dr. Love' Kunchacko Boban plays Vinayachandran, a youngster who is busy trying every trick of the trade to make both ends meet. He writes and publishes bland love stories that he sells off for a cheap price at bus stands. One fine day, he meets a PE Professor (Innocent), who mistakes him to be an expert in resolving issues of love. And within no time, Vinayachandran, who follows him to college, get known in the campus as Dr. Love.
They say, love stories arrive in all shapes and forms. This is one such love tale that tells the story of a 'romantic consultant', that teems with young actors, and attempts to take a peck at almost everything that it possibly can. It has ample doses of all those things that could perhaps make the new campus generation go ga-ga over it, be it friendship, love or whatever.
Dr. Love has a few real promising shots right at the beginning, and you think this is going to be a film that would be unquestionably different. The title cards over, the story starts, and you see that nothing much has changed in the world of love down here. This is a campus like several other ones that we have seen before, where almost everyone - be the students or teachers way past their prime - yearn to fall in love.
Any outsider, it should be remembered gets posted in the college canteen, (remember College Kumaran?) and so does Dr. Love. Love, love, Dr. Love... goes the refrain in the background, and those with romantic sickness start pouring in for consultation in no time.
Though he starts off waiting at tables. he is soon is promoted to the cashier post, given his peculiar skill to draw in sick love birds into the canteen. And in no time, he becomes a campus hero and starts singing songs as well.
So where are those campus crooks, you ask, and along comes Rajith Menon and his team, who admit that love isn't what they are on the look out for. Unfortunately, they don't have much of a say in this film, because its all about the purest form of love - the kind that gently eats into you, and eventually chokes you.
Dr. Love, for most of its running time is unrealistic to the core, and even of you keep its central protagonist out of the picture, what remains is not quite workable either - like for instance, the last half an hour of the film, when it turns out to be even more and more impractical.
The film does have a charming cast, and all of them have done remarkably well. Kunchacko Boban, Bhavana, Ananya, Bhagath Manuel, Hemanth Menon, Rejith Menon, Manikkuttan and new find Vidya Unni are all good, and tray real hard to keep the spirit up and running.
Falling in love is more of a ploy in Dr. Love that has little to do with the forces of nature. You design and scheme with all your might, as if the object of your affection is your gravest enemy on earth. And finally, make her fall prey to your charms. Ugghh.. not my cup of romance, this!

Ulakam Chuttum Vaaliban Review |
Perhaps it isn't much asking for at least a couple of harmless laughs or a bit of a satisfying drama from a film as Ulakam Chuttum Valiban. Imagine your disappointment then, when you realize that it's a film that hasn't got a joke that's worth laughing over or an event that's worth a mention or a memory.Jayaram plays Jayashankar in the film, who seeks training under Chenkeeri Sethu (Suraj Venjarammoodu) to become a skilled robber, the reason being that he has some real big debts to pay off, and that he has a sister (Mithra Kurien) all ready to get married. In no time does Jayashankar turn out to be a new age urban thief, but has the shock of his life, when he gets appointed as a Sub Inspector of Police.
The story of Ulakam Chuttum Valiban reminds you of any number of films that you had seen in the nineties, where the protagonist under dire economic constraints has no other choice but to turn real bad. And some characters in UCV makes you wonder if you haven't seen some one similar recently.
The policeman that Biju Menon plays in the film, for instance, has a son who is not yet sure as to what a terrific guy his dad is. Its only when his dad bashes up a few goons real bad, that sonny agrees that his dad is awesome. Sounds like a Daddy Cool, huh?
We wouldn't really expect Ulakam Chuttum Valiban to have a tale that's realistic to the core, but a minimum amount of believability could perhaps make a huge difference. Sadly, that is lacking in the film, and in no time does a man switch from being a robber into a cop, with his personality remaining constant.
Jayaram has nothing much to do in the title role, and even his facial expressions are those that we have seen in innumerable films of his before. Vandana is the leading lady in action, and she does look charming. I couldn't find the name of the child actor who plays Biju Menon's son in the film, and yet I should mention that he was a delight to watch.
The only reason why this film merits a two star rating is on account of Biju Menon, who seems to be getting better with each film. It's an awesome performance again from Biju this time around, and as the narcissistic cop, he scores big time. His comic timing is perfect, and the dialogue deliverance right on spot, which makes Biju Menon the real star of Ulakam Chuttum Valiban.
UCV is the kind of film that Jayaram was seen in for a few years prior to 'Veruthe Oru Bharya' - films that used to come and leave without a whimper that had made his star status hit a rock bottom. Not a good sign, this!
