After heart touching films like Ustad Hotel and Manjadikkuru , Anjali Menon is back with a youth multi starrer which is a generous and a good movie.Different from the genres she had attempted before , she has come up with a film which depicts the life of three cousins.

The  Plot of the film revolves around three cousins Krishnan a.k.a. Kuttan (Nivin Pauly) , Divya (Nazriya) and Arjun (Dulquer).

Their marriage life is not so good.  During this time, Divya comes to know about his old love story which keeps her away from him. What happens in the life of the three cousins later and their bondings are beautifully pictured. Divya was forced to marry Das by her parents who are not in much good terms with the parents of the other three cousins. 

The movie , is a joyful youth movie which won't disappoint you. Don't expect anything like Ustad Hotel and Majadikkuru as this film is of a different genre and it has also kept up it's standard. The film is a bit lengthy.There are many good emotional and funny sequences in the film.

Watch Bangalore Days just for fun, humor, some emotional sequences. It is a generous feel good movie which everyone will enjoy.

Performance

Among the actors, Nivin Pauly was good a  shy and conscious techie.  Dulquer as usual has done a good and decent job. Nazriya was excellent and delightful in her looks, expressions, and dialogues. Fahadh was good as a rough and workaholic husband. All the other casts including Parvathi,Nithya Menon, Isha Talwar has done good job in acting.

Music
Gopi Sunder's songs were good. BGM was also equally good.

Technical Aspects
Sameer Thahir's visuals were too brilliant. The frames were captured with much excellence. The editing was also crisp and good.

Direction And Screenplay
Anjali Menon who has earlier delivered many hit movies gives another good movie this time. She proves herself as a director and writer once again. The script has many loop holes and the film was a bit lengthy. 

Rating:- 3.25/5

Verdict:- A Joyful Ride and a feel good generous movie..watch it..

Mr Fraud Malayalam Movie Review

Director:- B Unnikrishnan

Music:- Gopi Sundar

Cinematography:- Satheesh Kurup

Editing:- Manoj

Starring:- Mohanlal,Dev Gill..

Our Rating:- 3/5

                      After the classic hit Drishyam, Mohanlal comes up with his new venture Mr Fraud which is a mass heist movie.  Mohanlal has earlier teamed up with director B Unnikrishnan for Madampi and Grandmaster which were super hits.


Mohanlal plays a fraud in the film with different names, a non sympathetic hi-tech cunning robber.  He is given a new mission which helps him gain a huge amount so that he can end up with all these games. The mission is too risky and challenging as the character says.  A treasure belongs to an old kovilakam known as Adityapuram Kovilakam.The family members are too much bothered about the distribution of wealth except Rajasekhara Varma(Siddique) and Saraswathy(Mia).  An Ex MLA and a staunch communist Varma wants the entire wealth to be handed over to the government. Will Mr Fraud be successful in completing the mission forms the rest of the plot.

The film is a mass heist thriller and there is no point of asking for a different story line. The first half of the film is racy and entertaining. The second half , though not much interesting is also average.  Overall Mr Fraud is a mass heist thriller. A must watch for fans and good for one time watch for others.

Performance

Mohanlal was simply free flowing and outstanding even making minutest expressions and dialogues clap worthy. His new look in grey hair and beard was good and he was in full control giving a decent performance.  Siddique is decent in a pivotal role. Dev Gill as the antagonist is shrill. All others gave a decent performance.

Music

Gopi Sundar's BGM is interesting and the songs are equally good.

Technical Aspects

Satheesh Kurup's camera work is good and visuals are interesting. Editing was sharp.  VFX team has done a good job. Art work and action choreography are average.

Direction And Screenplay

B Unnikrishnan's script was simply average but it engaged the viewers through out. The script has few loop holes here and there. Direction part was good. The dialogues were interesting.

Verdict:- Good for one time watch .. Must watch for Fans..Go With Less Expectations 

Rating:- 3/5

7th Day Malayalam Movie Review

Director:- Syamdhar

Cinematography:-Sujith Vaassudev

Screenplay:-Akhil Paul

Music:-Deepak Dev

Editing:-John Kutty

Our Rating:-3/5

Starring:-Prithviraj,Vinay Fort

Verdict:- A Good Suspense Thriller

          

                   7th Day from debutant Syamdhar is a feel good suspense thriller which has Prithviraj in the main role.

David Abraham IPS(Prithviraj) is a crime branch officer who is under suspension. He has been suspended for a reason which will be revealed in later stage of the movie. Even though under suspension, he investigates an unregistered case by himself. On the night of Christmas, David and two youngsters Shaan(Vinay Fort) and Vinu(Anu Mohan) go for a chance encounter which changes their life.The the other three in their gang  being Jessy(Janani Iyer) ,Cyril(Praveen Prem) and Eby(Tovino Thomas).These guys tries to escape from a money laundering racket.The investigation would be completed in a span of seven days starting from the day of Christmas to the day of new year.  Revealing much about the story would reduce your interest in watching this one. Will David succeed in solving the case ? What will happen on the 7th Day forms the rest of the plot.

The first half of the film drags a bit when the premise of the thriller is set. The second half of the film is brilliant  and the climax was a good one. The lack of pace and need of logic arise  in the first half. So, 7th Day is an average and good watchable thriller from Prithviraj if you avoid comparison with his other police characters.


Performance

Prithviraj is the back bone of the film. He played his role well in his middle aged look, intense expressions and dialogue delivery.  Vinay Fort and Anu Mohan were equally good. Others did justice to their roles.

Music

Music by Deepak Dev, though not outstanding,it  is not a let down. BGM was fine.

Technical Aspects

Sujith Vaassudev's camera work was brilliant. His dark shaded frames were excellent. 

Direction And Screenplay

Debutant writer Akhil Paul tries to give a serious tone to the narrative by slowing the pace. But he is not much successful in doing that. The script has many loop holes in it. Debutant director Syamdhar has done his part well. He tried much to make this one a dark mood thriller. 

Verdict:-7th Day is Just A Good Suspense Thriller...

Rating:-3/5

Gangster Malayalam Movie Review

Director:-Aashiq Abu

Cinematography:-Alby

Music:-Deepak Dev

Screenplay:-Ahmed Siddique

Editing:-Saiju Sreedharan

Our Rating:- 2.5/5

Verdict:- Average

Starring:- Mammotty,Sekhar Menon...

Well , the most awaited movie of 2014 released today. People waiting to see their mega star on screen with stylish looks. Gangster seems to be the usual old gangster movies which doesn't have an enough good plot.

The story of Gangster unfolds in the city of Mangalore ruled by 3 'Gangsters', Mani Menon(Kunchan), Uncle Sam(John Paul) and Akbar Ali Khan(Mammootty).  The story begins with some animation clips which describe how Akbar became a gangster. Things goes fine in Mangalore until Uncle Sam's grandson Anto (Sekhar Menon) , a sexual pervert and a drug addict reaches the city. He plans to import contaminated vaccines to Mangalore port and sell them at higher rates thereby making much profit. Akbar is against drug activities and he opposes him. Anto plans to eliminate Akbar. In an attempt Akbar's wife Sana(Nyla Usha) gets killed and Akbar gets seriously injured. A disappointed Akbar moves to Ajmer for a pilgrimage with a mind that longs to take revenge on the one who ruined him. From then , it's all about violence. Will Akbar be successful in his attempt forms the rest of the plot.

So that's all about Gangster. The main attraction of the film is the stylish looks of the 'Gangster'. The film has many flaws in it. The film was slow in it's pace. Many sequences were excellent and a few were not up to the mark. The Villain character was not strong enough. As a whole, Gangster is a usual mass movie which never lives up to the standard and hype it made initially before it's release. The film has lot of violence elements and for that, it was given an 'A' Certificate.

Performance

The main attraction of the movie was Mammootty's performance ,stylish looks and dialogue delivery, He portrayed the Gangster very well. Nyla Usha was good in her role even though she didn't get much chance. Sekhar Menon, the villain couldn't live up to the standard of the protagonist.Rest of the cast were good in their roles.

Music

Music from Deepak Dev was good. Background music is another interesting element of the movie.

Technical Aspects

Cinematography was brilliant and lived up to international standards. The frames and angles were perfect , The Makeup man, Art director , costume designer receives appreciation as they made Gangster Stylish.

Direction And Screenplay

The script is the villain here. If the script was a better one, Gangster would have been brilliant. The script  by Ahmed Siddique and Abhilash Kumar was not up to the mark. Aashique Abu direction work was good but the lack of a good script made the direction weak.

Verdict:-Average Mass Entertainer..May Not Appeal to All..

Rating:-2.5/5

Praise The Lord Malayalam Movie Review

Director:- Shibu Gangadharan

Story:-Zachariah

Music:-Shaan Rahman      BGM:-Bijibal

Editing:-Zian Sreekanth

Cinematography:-Pradeep Nair

Our Rating:- 3/5 -Feel Good Movie

                                       Shibu Gangadharan's directorial debut 'Praise The Lord' based on Zachariah's novel of the same name is just an average feel good family entertainer which entertains most of the audience.

Mullathazhathe Joy(Mammootty) is a rich planter who lives in Kottayam. He is unaware of the world outside the small place he lives. He lives there with his wife Ancy(Reenu Mathews) and two children. He lives there looking after his properties. He is a very simple man and he loves his wife very much.  Joy's childhood friend Advocate Sunny (Mukesh) asks Joy for a help. He asks Joy to hide Samkutty(Ahmed Siddique) and Annie(Akansha Puri) eloped without the permission of their parents.Joy agrees to hide them. Samkutty is a firm believer in God while Annie is  a modern spoiled brat whom he meets at Delhi.They fell in love with each other.Annie wishes to enjoy unmarried family life. They are later threatened by Joy's father Kunjutty(Joy Mathew) and they move from there. How Joy and others struggle to hide them and help them live together forms the rest of the plot.

Altogether 'Praise The Lord' is a usual average family entertainer which can be enjoyed if approached with less expectations.The first half is very much interesting with good jokes and performances. The second also is good despite the lag during the beginning of the second half.

Watch it with less expectations. It won't disappoint you. The film may appeal to all sections of audience.

Performance

Mammootty performed very well as Joy .He is the main attraction of the film.  His expressions , dialogues and mannerisms as Joy was excellent.  Reenu Mathews as Ancy is also good. Ahmed Siddique did a neat job as Samkutty. Akansha Puri as Annie was just fine. Rest of the characters did justice to their roles and rendered enough support.

Music

Music by Shaan Rahman was good. The two songs 'Innaleyolam' and 'sharon vaniyil' were good. Background score by Bijibal was fine.

Technical Aspects

Even though not excellent, Pradeep Nair's camera work was nice. He has captured the locations of Kottayam in a beautiful manner.

Screenplay and Direction

Screenplay by TP Deverajan based on Zachariah's novel was fine. Direction by debutant Shibu Gangadharan ,was also good. The film is a good and enjoyable family entertainer.

Happy Journey - A Passable Feel Good One ....

Director:-Boban Samuel

Screenplay:-Arunlal

Music:-Gopi Sundar

Cinematography:- Mahesh Raj

Editing:-Lijo Paul

Our Rating:-3/5 

Verdict:- Average Passable One...

Happy Journey is an average feel good movie which certainly entertains but at time bore you. Boban's Samuel's 3rd film after Romans & Janapriyan is watchable but it could have been much better if it was handled with care.

The story of the film revolves around the life of Aaron (Jayasurya) a blind man who loves cricket. He had passion towards cricket from his childhood on wards & also his mother Alice(Lena)gave him enough support of develop the same passion by taking him to a cricket coach John (Sunil Sukhada). Aaron gets selection in the under 15 cricket tournament but he loses his eyesight in a road accident. Aaron & Alice tried to get selection in the Blind Cricket team & when he was all set to join the All India Blind Cricket team , his mother passes away & desperately Aaron gives up his passion. The plot of the film deals with Aaron's Journey of life. Aaron says all these to Siya Sidharth(Aparna Gopinath) whom he meets on his way to Chennai. He gets a hotel helper's job in a hotel run by Easop(Idavela Babu).  His cousin Fredy (Balu Vargheese) renders him enough support. Aaron is again inspired to join in the All India Blind Cricket Team by his earlier coach John.
He finally gets selection there & from there he meets his new coach Gopikrishnan(Lal). The rest of the plot deals with how Aaron , Gopikrishnan & other members of the team struggle to fulfill their dreams.

The First half of the film is very much interesting & entertaining while the second half bores the audience a bit. Some portions of the films do gather our attention. It is a passable fare if you go with less expectations...

Performances

Jayasurya gave a brilliant performance as Aaron in his dialogue delivery, expressions & innocence. He is the one who makes us watch the film. Lal was good as Gopikrishnan. Aparna Gopinath doesn't have anything much to do. Balu Vargheese was also impressive. Rest of the cast have done their roles in a good manner.

Music

Gopi Sundar's music is good  & the songs are well placed. The background score suits the mood of the film & it gives the overall feeling of the movie.

Technical Aspects

Cinematography was good though not excellent. Mahesh Raj tried to capture all the good visuals.

Direction & Screenplay

Arunlal's script is not up to the mark. Even though the first half is very interesting & thrills the audience, the second half bores them a bit.  The plot , if it was treated in a bit more good way , the film would've been mind blowing. The direction by Boban Samuel was good in the first half. In the second half he tries to get control but he loses it.

Verdict:_ Average Fare...Watch it With less expectations for some good performances & an interesting first half...

On the whole , London Bridge is a fine romantic drama set against the backdrop of London city which revolves around a rich guy & two beautiful women .

Vijay Das ( Prithviraj ) is a young successful Malayalai businessman who lives in London. He runs some corner shop & he also is a money lender. Vijay reached London after his college life & struggled a lot to attain a good status there. Vijay goes for clash with a man who has borrowed some money from him & didn't return back the amount on time.Later Vijay comes to know that the man who borrowed money from his was much respected by CS Nambiar(Prathap Pothen) a well known business tycoon in London. Vijay approaches Advocate Francis(Mukesh) who helps him in all emergency situations & they decide to meet CS Nambiar. Nambiar gets impressed with his nature & asks him to marry his daughter Pavithra( Andrea Jeremiah) who is very much interested in doing charity works. One day while Vijay was going to meet Pavithra , his car hits Merin Elsa John( Naditha Raj) who was new to city. She came there to work as a nurse in a hospital there.

Pavithra is also impressed with Vijay's nature & helping mentality & she falls in love with Vijay. Vijay has to find an answer to choose the right person for his life. This forms the rest of the plot.

So , London Bridge is a decent romantic entertainer which is a bit slow paced. It has some flaws but it has some essence in it. 

Performance

Prithviraj performed well as Vijay Das with his looks & style & also with good performance. Andrea as Pavithra was also good. Nanditha Raj too gives decent performance with her cute looks & style of action. Prathap Pothen,Mukesh,Lena,Sunil Sukhada all did their roles well. All the other characters did justice to their roles.

Music

The music in this film was good. The Background score done by  Gopi Sundar dwells with the mood of the film. Two songs 'Kannadi Vathilil','Ennum Ninne' are impressive. The rest of the songs are not much impressive.

Technical Aspects

Cinematography by Jithu Damodar was excellent. He has captured the beautiful locations of London with much brilliance. The camera angles were good.

Direction & Screenplay

Jinu Abraham's script has many loop holes even thought it entertains. He could have tried more to make the script & dialogues much more impressive so that it creates a difference & makes it more interesting.

Anil C Menon had tried well to make the movie a good one. His direction was good even though it's not much impressive.

Verdict:- London Bridge is A Watchable Feel Good Romantic Drama...

1983 - This Game Surely Entertains.....!

Director:-  Abrid Shine

Cinematography: - Pradeesh M Varma 

Music :-  Gopi Sundar 

Editing:-  Manoj

Our Rating:-  3.5 /5 A True Entertainer

                                 
                                   I was happy. The Film was good. I was really satisfied to watch a true entertainer.  Director Abrid Shine's debut film tells the story of the cricket lovers in India & their passion towards it. It also discusses the passion of the people of a remote village towards cricket.

The story unfolds in a beautiful village Brahmamangalam from the year 1983, where some children along with the people of the village celebrate the world cup victory of India. There is a small gang of cricket players in that village which include Rameshan(Nivin Pauly) the batsman ,Pappan(Saiju Kurup), Babukuttan( Sanju), Prahladan(Neeraj Madhav),Mantle Johny( Kalabhavan Prajod) , Saji(Dinesh)  & Chandru,Varkey & Basheer. They grow up with their passion towards cricket. Rameshan's Father Gopi wanted him to become a Mechanical Engineer but Rameshan's passion towards cricket made him not to choose engineering. His father is a mechanic & workshop owner who hates cricket.At their school days Rameshan loves Manjula( Nikki Galrani). Majula after studies hopes that Rameshan would find a good job & marry her. But Rameshan's passion was still cricket even after growing up & looking after his father's workshop. Manjula gets married to another guy while Rameshan is forced to marry Susheela ( Srindaa Ashab) by his parents. The life becomes more happy by the birth of Kannan. After a few years , Rameshan understands his son's passion towards cricket & decides to give him coaching. He takes Kannan to Vijay(Anoop Menon ) a cricket coach who helps Kannan to become an efficient player.This forms the rest of the plot.

So, 1983 is an extremely enjoyable entertainer putting aside some lags. It  pleases the heart of the audience.
It is a film suitable for all generations & takes all to the nostalgic memories of our childhood. For those who have passion for cricket, watch this movie. It will relax your mind.

Performances

Nivin Pauly performed well while he played Rameshan.  Nikki Galrani as Manjula did justice to her role & she impressed the viewers with her looks. Srindaa Ashab did her role superbly as Susheela with her innocent expression & dialect.Everyone did justice to their roles. Jacob Gregory did his part well as Sachin  & also Anoop Menon as Vijay Menon.

Music

Music By Gopi Sundar was excellent. The song 'Olanjali Kuruvu' has already become a hit. All other songs suits the mood of the film & also the BGM was excellent.

Technical Aspects

Pradeesh M Varma captured the visuals of the village beautifully. The cricket matches shown in this film are too interestingly shot.

Direction & Screenplay

The story of the movie which the director himself had written was superb. The dialogues too are good which created a lot of laughter.

Verdict: -A True Entertainer. ... A Must Watch....

Songs

The third film of the series, Ramji Rao Speaking and Mannar Mathai Speaking, has hit the theaters today and in one word the film is a "pure entertainer". Directed by Mamas, this film has almost the same cast. The director has tried to portray all those characters that have captured our minds years back. The film is basically a funny movie but does not have that punch the others movies of the series has.
The central characters of the film remains the same, Mannar Mathai (Innocent), Gopalakrishnan (Mukesh) and Balakrishnan (Sai kumar). This time the trio are running "Urvasi Tours & Travels" as they have had enough with the drama troupe. But Mathai's intense passion towards drama takes him to a decision to do a drama on the 25th anniversary of their troupe. Even though Gopalakrishnan and Balakrishnan does not favour this, at last they accept.

One fine morning, they decides to give a newspaper ad asking for a driver who is fluent in English and for a female lead in their drama. Soon they meet the driver Unni (Basil) and actress Nithya (Aparna Gopinath). All things remain fine till they meet their old rivalry Mahendra Varma (Biju Menon), whom they thought was dead. The rest of the trio's life along with a lot of laughter and entry of different characters completes the story line.

PERFORMANCES
Innocent and Mukesh have tried their level best to recreate the characters those had been stuck in to the audiences' mind. They have succeeded in that too. But Sai Kumar's performance was not that pleasing. Aparna  Gopinath's performance too was not very impressive. Biju Menon was truly awesome in his role. All others like Shammi Thilakan, Indrans, Janardhanan, Vijayaraghavan did a handy job.

MUSIC
The film's music has been composed by Rahul Raj and he has done a good job. BGMs were really impressive, but songs stay average.

TECHNICAL ASPECTS
Mamas has done the direction in a decent way. He has recreated those characters pretty well without any major defects. Cinematography by Vishnu Narayan is also a good one.

VERDICT
This film is for those who enjoy laughing, and does not want to carry anything from the film. Truly, an entertainer.

Veeram Entertains.....But On Ajith's Charisma

Director:-  Siva

Cinematography:- Vetri

Music:-  Devi Sri Prasad (DSP

Starring : - Ajith,Bala,Tamannah,Santhanam...

Our Rating: - 3.25/5

Verdict:-  Veeram Is An Entertainer..!

Ajith doing a Village based mass role was the main expectation of people from Veeram. And This time director Siva has packed Veeram with all the ingredients to satisfy the audience.

The plot of Veeram revolves around Vinayagam(Ajith). He is a one man army , but a man with many good aspects. He lives with his four brothers and gets involved in fun & rowdyism activities. His brothers hesitate to marry. The only reason they say for it is that their elder brother Vinayagam didn't get married.Meanwhile Ajith falls in love with Koperundevi(Tamannah) daughter of Nallasivam(Nassar).  He wishes to mend his ways for the sake of his lover. But he comes to know that a guy is planning to ruin her family. He decides to stop him at any cost.

The first half includes many funny incidents. Santhanam got a decent role in Veeram . He plays the role of an advocate.The story is not new but Ajith's presence makes the difference.  Veeram is ultimately an Ajith show. His screen presence in Veeram was excellent which was missing in his other two recent films. The dialogues in the film were powerful. The duration of the film doesn't bore us.

So finally, Veeram is a Massive entertainer that works on Ajith's Charisma.

Performance

Ajith gave an excellent performance in Veeram. It is his charisma that saves the film much. Tamannah didn't get anything much to do.All other cast were good.

Music

The Background score from DSP was beautiful but the songs were average. The duet songs were not up to the mark. 

Direction & Screenplay

The script is the villain. Veeram is a power packed entertainer but the script is the same old one based on formulas.Director Siva receives an appreciation for bringing out out a good film from an average script.

Verdict:- Massive Entertainer...Watch it For Ajith's Performance...

DHOOM 3 - A GRAND FILM OF THE YEAR..!

Director:- Vijay Krishna Acharya

Production :- Yash Raj Films

Cinematography :- Sudeep Chatterjee

Our Rating :- 3/5 

So at last the most expected film of the year released. People rushing & fighting for tickets... What is new in D:3 ...What difference does it make ? This is the 3rd part of the formulaic Dhoom Series which highlights bikes, action sequence & high level theft operations. The same formula is repeated also in Dhoom 3 . But this time about ' The Great Indian Circus'.

Dhoom 3 is a cop & robber drama where Aamir Khan is the robber & Abhishek Bachan is the cop.The story starts with the history of 'The Great Indian Circus' owned by Iqbal (Jackie Shroff) which is mortgaged at western Chicago bank. On a circus night he kills himself with the feeling that he couldn't save his circus while his small son sees it.
Years later the bank is being robbed relentlessly  & after the robbery the thief leaves a joker's mask and escapes off.Mean while Sahir (Aamir Khan) son of Iqbal starts the Great Indian Circus again. Sahir's involvement in the bank robbery gets revealed by the Mumbai Police. Will Jai Dixit ( Abhishek Bachan ) be able to trap Sahir who robs to take revenge on the bank which destroyed his life. This forms the rest of the plot.
The plot of the film is not much different from that of the earlier Dhoom Series. But what grabs the attention of the viewer is its screenplay and the quality of visuals it provide. It contains elements of emotion which wasn't present in the earlier Dhoom series. It also has some well orchestrated action sequences.
It's length 173 minutes make the viewer exhausted.

Performance
Aamir Khan is the soul of the film. He is sincere to his job and tries to prove his excellence in the scenes.Katrina Kaif  is beautiful & her dance are also good but she doesn't find much place in the script. Abhishek Bachan is good as Jai Dixit as always & Uday Chopra give ample support in the comic sequences which provide relief to us.

Music

Pritam's music is  not even close to what he scored in earlier Dhoom series.

Technical Aspects
The film is shot brilliantly. The editing could have been much better.

Screenplay & Direction
This time the writer of earlier Dhoom series becomes the writer & director of the third one.  He could have made it much more better.

VERDICT:- Overall ,Dhoom 3 is majestic, Grand & a feel good average movie despite it's length.

Oru Indian Pranayakadha Review

Oru Indian Pranayakadha is the latest film by the famous director Sathyan Anthikkad. The film stars Fahad Fazil, Amala Paul, Innocent in the main roles. In this film, Fahad plays the role of Ayemanam Sidhartan who is the Youth Conference Mandalam President of RDF party of the region. He always dream of becoming MLA of that place but higher officials of the party promotes another person for the election.
As suggested by the District President of RDF, Uthupp Vallikadan( played by Innocent), Sidhartan decides to take a break and decides to accompany Irene Gardner( played by Amala Paul), a Canadian Malayali who has come here to do a documentary related to orphanages.
Divya( played by Shafna) is the love interest of Sidhartan but their relationship does not go well as Sidhartan fails to express himself due to his social commitments. As time pass by, Siidhartan find that Irene has more jobs to be done other than the documentary. The rest of the story is about that.

Performance
Fahad Fazil was really impressive in his role of Ayemanam Sidhartan, and has done really well with a touch of comedy in it. Amala Paul suited the character well and has done good job. Innocent and other actors have done their job.

Music
Film's music has been composed by Vidyasagar and he has done it neatly. The BGM also seemed to support the film well.

Technical Aspects
Cinematography is handled by Pradeep Nair and has done it in a good way. Script is written by Iqbal Kuttipuram. The first half seems to excellent while second half is not as good.

Verdict
The film is watchable movie and is a different one from Sathyan Anthikkad and he deserves appreciation.
This will never be a waste of money.

He lives happily with his wife Rani(Meena) & two children Anu & Anju. George kutty is an ardent movie fan & he tries to solve his problems in a cinematic way. Things are fine till a brat Varun (Roshan) enters their life & spoils it. The rest of the film is engaging thrilling & emotional.Drishyam is surely a film that revolves around a family but it's much more than that. But the director Jeethu Joseph has managed to surprise the viewer with a completely different approach.It is a film without any artificiality & it engages the viewer with steady story telling.

The story doesn't offer anything new but the style in which it is made is surely awesome.

The film has an average first half which contains lot of family sequences for family audience. The second half was really thrilling & emotional. Lal Magic works out again in Kerala.
The first half of the film is like what we expect. But the second half is really excellent. What makes the film thrilling is its strong script & direction.

Perfect for all types of audience. A clean film. Must be a hit.

Performance
Mohanlal is the main attraction of the film. He acting was excellent as Georgekutty especially in some emotional moments.  Meena made a good come back. The child artists did their roles very beautifully. Kalabhavan Shajon's Sahadevan , the police constable was another notable character.  All other cast including Siddique ,Asha Sharath , Roshan etc do their roles perfectly.

Technical Aspects

Sujith Vasudev's camera has captured the beauty of the place. The visuals are too good. Ayoob Khan's editing is also good.

Music

There are two songs in this film. Both are good. Anil Johnson's music is good & also he deserves a special mention for the BGM of the film. 'Marivil ....' song in Drishyam has already become a hit.

Script & Direction

Jeethu Joseph once again establishes himself as a good director. His direction was superb. The script doesn't have much loopholes & it is very much entertaining. The strong script is the backbone of this film.

Verdict:- Drishyam is an entertainer which has elements of thrills, emotions & fun. Go watch it ....
