Phew.... I must say my three days of torment is finally over watching a long shortfilm !!!!
I was hearing quite a bit about this movie from the family members of my Hindu Wife and I seriously thought to try it once even though the genre is quite never worked for me since I was 9....
My instinct warned me that this movie could be something of the standard of a bigger scale soap filled with forced drama, melancholy, and of course the innocence of an 8 year old and many random scenes put together into a 'movie' !!! Considering all factors I, an ardent theatre goer played it safe and bid my time for the movie to come ott....
Believe me, and prove me wrong, the movie not just matched my expectations of being so bad, it exceeded it !!!! The surprise treat was when in a scene came the future of Malayalam cinema, director "Ajay Vasudev" appeared as a Tamil Don negotiating on phone with the antagonist.... It was a moment when a thousand alarms rang together how bad an investment of my time is going to be watching this movie....
And, waiting for some positive to salvage myself I watched the entire movie spread across 3 days since I couldn't stand the torment for 10 straight minutes...
This is indeed a backlash for Malayalam cinema which nowadays is garnering the global appeal it had lost for a pretty long time !!! The combined effort of a handful of genius filmmakers to reinstall the Malayalam cinema in the rightful throne is sure to take a hit when movies of substandard quality like this one mints so much money from the market while the acts of genius are once again turned down by the audience !!!!
I'd give the movie 0.5 stars out of 5 since it's a subject that worked out 15 years later than its time !!!
