Our Rating  : - 3.5/5 Superb

Visuals can be deceiving but this is a special one.Here comes Mohanlal's christmas release. 'Drishyam ' in which Mohanlal & Director Jeethu Joseph teams up for the very first time. This is Mohanlal's fifth film in this year.
Nothing to say  'Drishyam' is an excellent movie from this combo...!

Georgekutty(Mohanlal) is a an orphan. Through his hard work he earns some properties. He runs a cable vision in Rajakkad in Idukki known as Rani Vision. 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 ....

Director : VK Prakash

Script : YT Rajesh

Music: Ratheesh Vegha

Cinematography : Manoj Kumar

Our Rating : 2.5/5  Average

Murder mysteries are always interesting & 2013 is an year which gifted many thrillers like Memories, Mumbai Police etc...Silence too is a thriller in which VKP & Mammootty works together for the first time.After 20-20 Mammootty essays the role of an advocate in this film.

Adv .Aravind Chandrashekhar(Mammootty) is a brilliant advocate who haven't failed in even a single case in his career. He works as a lawyer in the Karnataka High Court .He is happily living with his wife Sangeetha(Pallavi Chandran)& two children . He is now promoted as the judge of Karnataka High Court. Things take a turn when Aravind reaches his hometown Kerala for attending a festival. While he happily char with his family, he gets an anonymous call asking Aravind to get ready for a hide & seek game.

Aravind finds that he should reopen a murder case & dig his own past which could ruin his career. Will Aravind succeed in solving this ? Answer is the rest of the film.

The film has an above average first half & an almost average second half.The intrigue & suspense is brilliantly built up initially. As the film moves to the second half , the plot gets a bit stuck & the thriller mode pales a bit.

Silence is a passable entertainer & an average thriller. The highlight of the film is Mammootty. Silence is a decent weekend watch for thriller lovers.

Performance

Mammooty as usual gave a superb performance as Aravind Chandrasekhar. Anoop Menon as Neel George IPS has done his role well. Pallvai Chandran was good. All the rest of the cast has given decent performances.

Music & BGM

Ratheesh Vegha's music and background score fails to create an impact and the background scores are unsuitable for few scenes.

Technical Aspects

Cinematography by Manoj Kumar Katoi is good & has nice moments to cheer. Editing is also good.

Screenplay

Script from YT Rajesh could have been better as the thriller thrills in the first half and fails to impress in the second half.

Direction

Direction from VKP is good. But he could have given much importance to the story line rather than some chase sequences & fight scenes.

Verdict :  Silence is an Average Watch for Thriller Lovers...!

Rating : 2.5/5

Insidious Chapter 2 Comes ...

Insidious 2 Is Not As Scary As Its Previous 

Efforts..With No New Tricks to Impress 

Us.....

Cast :- Andrew Astor, Angur Sampson, Barbara, Leigh...

Director :- James Wan

Cinematography :-  John R Leonetti

Genre : -Thriller,Horror

Our Rating :- 2.5/5 

The Conjuring team returns to the tale of a couple troubled by spirits who want to kill their family. Rose Bryne & Patrick Wilson play the roles of husband & wife who saved their child from the clutches of a demon, unfortunately they paid a price for it.

The films starts from the original Insidious where hypnotist Elise Rainer( Lin Shaye) informs Mrs. Lambert who complains for paranormal activities that the problem is not with their house but with their son  Josh. Josh (Patrick Wilson) is a married man & has 3 Kids. While Josh saves his elder son Dalton(Ty Simpkins) from the evil, they find that he has the ability to travel while in his sleep to ‘The Further’.  But Lambert tries to find why the evil forced haunt them.With the hep of  paranormal scrutinising associates , Josh’s mother , an ex- hospital employee Lorraine helps them to find an old man Parker whom the believed was linked to their problem.

The second chapter is hugely flawed due to lack of attention towards writing part. There is nothing extraordinary about the film & is almost predictable.If horror is your favorite , you may be disappointed with Insidious Chapter 2.

Performance

The characters are as usual. The lead pair of Wilson & Byrne do a fantastic job. Barbara who played as Wilson’s mother was excellent as well. The casting has been repeated & is perfect. All actors manages to do their best & tries to impress us with their performance.

Music

There is nothing special about the music of the film. But the element that stands out is the background score of the film.

Technical Aspects

John R Leonetti's cinematography was nice which made the audience patiently watch the film.

Direction & Screenplay

The premise of this film may seem to be novel & exciting but the director James Wan has employed all Cliched tricks like flash lights & shaky camera which sets up a usual horror flick. There is nothing absurd or novel in the screen play except for the climax.

Rating : 2.5/5

Verdict :- The seasoned horror flick fans feels insipid & it leaves many things unanswered. Watch it for the horror experience. But As a whole ..it fails to Impress !!!

Geethanjali Malayalam Movie Review 2013

Geethanjali Malayalam Movie Review. Geethanjali marks the return of Dr. Sunny in Manichithrathazhu after 2 decades. Audience has great expectation when the film belongs to veteran director Priyadarshan.Their expectations was not completely fulfilled by this film. As the director already said, Geethanjali is not a sequel to Manichithrathazhu. Geethanjali doesn’t make any comparison except the character of Dr. Sunny.

The story starts from Mumbai when Anoop (Nishan) & his good be Anjali (Keerthi Suresh) to Anjali’s traditional house Arakkal when he mother falls sick. She returns & meets her parents. But after she enters the house, something haunts her badly & she behaves abnormally.Series of unpredictable incidents take place in her life afterwards. Nishan with the help of Suresh Gopi(Cameo Role) invites Dr. Sunny (Mohanlal) to  look after the issue. He comes and examines the girl. He finds that the girl Anjali is the one who is haunted & not the huge mansion. He then finds the reason behind all this with good elements of humor, suspense & horror.

Geethanjali actually is a story of two twin sisters. Dr. Sunny doesn’t have much to do in Geethanjali more than being a psychiatrist. The horror works out in the first half & fails to impress in the second half. Geethanjali can be watched for once surely without a comparison with Manichithrathazhu.  This movies shows resemblance with a Kannada movie which itself was a copied one. Geethanjali is not as much as Manichithrathazhu but as an independent film, it can be watched for sure.

Performance

On the performance part Mohanlal tried well to impress the audience as Dr. Sunny but the limitations in the script makes him unable to be the old Dr. Sunny in  Manichithrathazhu though he is the same old funny Dr. Sunny. Debutant Keerthi Suresh wasn’t bad but her performance in the second half made the audience a bit unhappy but the climax made most of them happy again. Nishan was not bad. Innocent was good in his scenes. All others perfectly fit into their roles.

Music & BGM

There are only 2 or 3 songs in Geethanjali & Vidyasagar was fine in making the songs. The background score suited the mood of the film well & it entertained the audience.

Direction & Screenplay

Abhilash Nair’s screen play had lot of loopholes which could make the audience unhappy but Priyadarshan’s direction made the film a good one. The horror sequences were well shot & the audience was satisfied. But the writer & the director could have taken a bit more care in making Geethanjali a fascinating thriller.

Technical Aspects

Cinematography was excellently done by S. Tirru & the scenes were well shot. The camera work stands out.

Verdict:  All together Geethanjali is not the perfect horror-suspense thriller of all times but it can be watched once without any bore. Don’t go with much expectation. Watch it as a single film without comparing with Manichithrathazhu. You’ll definitely enjoy it.

RATING:  2.75/5
