Everything i wanted to write is written so well by Dharam Iyer in his review above. What a creation.
Kudos to Superstar Mammutty for giving importance to a role/perfomance and accepting this movie while rest of the superstars are probably made to do only vfx dominated movies
Jyothika and all the characters played their role brilliantly
the kid, & brother,dauther , and Thangan & Dad role though speak less have perfomed exemplarily just with their silence at times
Background score or lack of it. in many places and the silence has spoken volumes in the movie.. ( rest of the film industry please take a note) story and the screenplay to narrate it is impeccable .. just wow
finest nuances thought by the director are commendable .. most of the directors lack this unfortunately. to quote few situations captured in just second or two :
Thankan hesitatnly trying to look at Mammotty in the tea shop after taking the pamplet
Jyothia and daugher brief smile at Thankan after the vote
Mammotty and his Dad brief interaction , jyothika shown in the background corner at the end of the scene
Mammotty aplogy and a hand on her shoulder
the last restaurant scene ..
That is cinema .. Kudos to Malayalam cinema... hope they continue to inspire the true cinema.
Thank you for reading the review
