For a person who has not read the novel so far, this is an extraordinary movie. For those who have, the pain and deeper emotions are irreplaceable. Still, this is an unmatched piece of art and Prithviraj's performance is certainly his magnum opus, making critics of his acting take back their statements and say that he has indeed acted finest and the portrayal being world class in this movie. Though the first half drags a bit (essential), the second part compensates for it. AR Rahman's music, Resul Pookutty's sound mixing are exquisite. And the cinematography is icing on the cake, not to mention the other actors. One can't help but atleast well up tears while watching this. Surely an Oscar deserving movie from India. Must watch in theaters.
Thank you Najeeb, Benyamin, Blessy and Prithviraj โค
