Moothon is a very beautiful film. One might say that it is a dark tragedy , and I agree but that darkness Is portrayed in such a manner that it begins to feel heartwarming. The film is so realistically and ambitiously taken that we start to imagine ourselves in the shoes of the characters walking down the streets of bombay. Some might imagine themselves as the damned soul gang lord Akbar , some as ameer others as mulla or rosey . It's ironical that our worst vices are the ones that can be most beautifully portrayed. I believe that moothon is a pioneer in indian cinema because of the acting , cast, locations,shots, cinematography , storyline etc. The "first shot" when the damned soul of Akbar walkes down a dark gully in bombay , I have never seen such a powerful shot, it was like the predator showing itself from the shadows The shot where Akbar in love relaxes on his boat in Lakshadweep as he recollects the moments with his lover The shots of Salim a cold hearted thug willing to do anything for money The deep moments between ameer and Akbar , kinda reminded me of brokeback mountain . More tragic though. The intoxicated scene at the end where shashank arora puts out his best performance in the film , for me that was the best acting done in the film. NIVIN Pauly also killed that seen And of course the little piece fantacy of the mermaid who comes to rescue mulla Geethu Mohandas and crew , thank you
