After long wait. the most anticipated film of the year 'Charlie' has opened to positive reviews. Charlie is a romantic drama but it can't be compared with Premam or Ennu Ninte Moideen. It has its own style. With less expectations , Charlie is a decent watch.
Charlie (Dulquer Salman) is a young man who leads a detached life. He loves to travel and wishes to live without any worries. He leads a crazy and impulsive life. The story goes through the view point of Tessa(Parvathy Menon) who elopes from her family as she doesn't wish to get married. She finds a shelter in Kochi. Tessa lived in a room which was earlier occupied by someone. His stuff in that room and one call from his creates curiosity in Tessa to find out who the previous occupant was. The film is Tessa's journey to find who Charlie actually is.
The film is not a complete fun film like 'ABCD'. It has its own dimensions. The style of narration was good and the visuals were outstanding. The climax was good but abrupt. Dulquer-Parvathy chemistry is added positive to the movie.
The film isn't a pacy one. It takes its own time to get into the track.
Performance
Dulquer as Charlie was brilliant. He could present the Charming character with ease. One of his best performance till date, Parvathy was good as curious Tessa. Her mature acting skills stole the show. Aparna Gopinath, Nedumudi Venu ,Chemban Vinod, KPAC Lalitha, Tovino, Soubin ,Neeraj were perfect in their roles.
Music
BGM was good . Songs were average ones.
Cinematography
Charlie is visually extravagant and the credit goes to cinematographer Jomon T John. He proved himself once again with his stunning visuals.
Script and Direction
Writer Unni R is successful in creating a fresh and simple love story. The way in which characters were introduced in the film created difference. The movie doesn't have any big elements of suspense but still engages the audience . Martin Prakkat's direction was good and he could transform a good script into a better movie.
Verdict : Charlie is A Decent Watch ....
Rating : 3.25/5
