I’ve become a big fan of Dileesh Pothan: Lal Jose
Thondimuthalum Driksakshiyum, the latest outing from the Maheshinte Prathikaram duo of Fahadh Faasil and director Dileesh Pothan has been gettting tremendous response from all corners ever since its release on June 30. Critics as well as the common audience have showered praise on the team for delivering such a quality film.
Thondimuthalum Driksakshiyum was release amidst great expectations as Dileesh Pothan’s debut film Maheshinte Prathikaram was widely appreciated, which also went on to win a couple of National awards as well. So, naturally there was a immense hype surrounding his second film but the director has ensured that none of that affected his craft.
Dileesh Pothan, with just two films to his name, has already established himself as one of the leading filmmakers of the current crop. Recently, directors like Lijo Jose Pellissery and B Unnikrishnan had come out appreciating Thondimuthalum Driksakshiyum and the team behind the movie.
Latest to join the list is veteran filmmaker Lal Jose, who in his Facebook page has written that he has officially entered Dileesh’s fan club. Lal Jose’s Facebook post reads,
It’s tough to surprise people when you are already waiting for a surprise, and ‘Thondimuthalum Driksaakshiyum’ made that happen. The greatest challenge before a successful debutant director is his second film and ‘Dileesh Pothan’ brought us an extraordinary film again. Congrats Dileesh for this brilliant effort! I am officially into the fan-club of yours 🙂
Thondimuthalum Driksakshiyum stars Fahadh Faasil, Suraj Venjaramoodu and debutante Nimisha Sajayan in the lead roles. The movie, written by Sajeev Pazhoor is centred around a newly married couple who encounter a thief during a bus journey. They are taken to a police station and rest of the events are set in the police station and it’s premises.
Inspired by the excellent response that the movie has been getting, the makers have also released it in foreign countries like Australia, Japan, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Singapore, Thailand and Brunei. The movie is produced by Sandeep Senan and Aneesh M Thomas under the banner of Urvashi Theatres.
