2 Tamil movies for Fahadh Faasil; One with Vijay Sethupathy and another with Sivakarthikeyan

Fahadh Faasil is currently on a high after the splendid success of his latest release Take Off. He played the role of an Indian Ambassador in the movie which is based on a real life rescue mission where a group of nurses were saved from Iraq. Though he had only a brief role in the movie, he made it memorable with his engrossing performance.

The actor par excellence is foraying into Kollywood this year. He will be sharing screen space with two of the biggest names in K Town currently- Vijay Sethupathy and Sivakarthikeyan.

He is playing the prime antagonist in Thani Oruvan director Mohan Raja’s Velaikaaran which features Sivakarthikeyan in the lead role. The movie has an ensemble star cast in Nayanthara, Sneha, Prakash Raj and many others. It is touted to be a socially relevant movie about food adulteration. The movie has already gone on floors and Fahadh is soon expected to join the team.

He is also part of National award winner Thiagarajan Kumararaja’s new movie which is said an anthology of five different short films. Vijay Sethupathy is playing the lead role in one while another features actress Nadia Moidu in the central character. Fahadh Faasil and Samantha Ruth Prabhu are playing the leads in another segment. The makers have remained tight lipped about the project though shooting spot stills revealed Vijay Sethupathy in a woman’s look. Thiagarajan Kumararaja’s debut movie Aaranya Kaandam enjoys a cult status and is considered as one of Indian cinema’s finest movies in recent years.

With these two biggies in his kitty, it’s certain that Fahadh will win scores of fans in Tamil Nadu also. He is rated as one of the finest actors in South India and these two movies will prove why he is regarded so highly.

Varalaxmi Sarathkumar walks out of Jayaram’s Aakasha Mittayee

Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, who made her debut in Malayalam through Mammootty starrer Kasaba, was roped in to play the female lead in actor/director Samuthirakani’s debut directorial in Malayalam, Aakasha Mittayee. The movie starring Jayaram in the lead is the official remake of Samuthirakani’s Tamil movie Appa.

Varalaxmi Sarathkumar was roped in to play Jayaram’s wife in the movie. The actress had attended the switch on ceremony and shot for three days. But she has now opted out of the project citing differences with the movie’s producers.

The actress in her official Twitter account has tweeted,

“Thnk u to Samuthirakani sir n Jayaram sir for hvng supported my decision.. can’t work wid male chauvinists n mannerless prods..#respectwomen”

We hear that the outspoken actress was unhappy with the behaviour of the producers. In their defence, the producer has said that she doesn’t suit for the character in the movie. They said that they approached Varalaxmi after her looks and performance in Kasaba. But the actress has now shed down her weight which apparently doesn’t suit the character as she had to play the role of a teenager in the movie. Actress Ineya will be replacing her in the movie.

Samuthirakani’s Appa was a socially relevant movie about the importance of education and the role of parents in shaping the children’s future. Kalabhavan Shajon will be reprising Tambi Ramaiah’s role from the original.

Akasha Mittai is scripted by K Gireesh Kumar and Azhagappan will crank the camera. The movie is being produced by Maha Subair under the banner of Varnachitra Big Screen.

Angamaly Diaries has entered it’s fifth week of theatrical run but it still continues garner appreciation. Latest to join the list of celebrities who praised Angamaly Diaries is Kabali director Pa Ranjith, who wrote in his Twitter space that the movie was amazing.

Pa Ranjith is known for this rooted to realism type of story telling. Kabali even after being a Rajinikanth starrer had very less filmy glamour as Ranjith tried to make the movie by his style rather turning it into just another superstar vehicle. So, it’s no wonder Ranjith was impressed with Angamaly Diaries, which has realism and rawness written all over it.

Some of the most eminent film personalities like Mohanlal, Prithviraj, Nivin Pauly, Tovino Thomas, Asif Ali, directors Sibi Malayil, Sathyan Anthikad, VK Prakash, Lal Jose, Karthik Subbaraj and many others appreciated the movie and the team’s efforts.

Anurag Kashyap, regarded as an auteur and the front runner of bold and hard hitting realistic movies in Indian cinema, rated Angamaly Diaries as the best movie of the year.

The movie is directed by Mollywood’s maverick Lijo Jose Pellissery. Actor Chemban Vinod Jose also made his debut as a scenarist through this movie. Angamaly Diaries showcases the culture of that particular region and the nature of the people in that locality. It is a story about a group of youngsters in the Angamaly region and featured around 86 new comers in various characters including the lead roles. Vijay Babu’s Friday Film House bank rolled the movie.

The Great Father Review : Usual story line with a decent making style

The Great Father Review : Usual story line with a decent making style

‘There is a hero in every father’, just like this tagline, The Great Father is about a dad who turns into a real life due to various circumstances.

The story line was more or less predictable from the motion poster itself. David Ninan (Mammootty) is a builder who leads a happy life with his wife (Sneha), who is a doctor, and their only daughter (Baby Anikha). At a particular instance, his daughter Sara David gets raped. Their life is thrown into a topsy-turvy. A shattered David Ninan sets out to to put an end to those responsible for his daughter’s fate. On a parallel track, a police officer Andrews Eapen (Arya) is investigating about a serial killer notorious for raping minor girls. Rest of the movie revolves around how David Ninan avenges his daughter’s murder.

After many years, we get to see a Mammootty starrer that utilizes both the star and the impeccable actor that he is. The veteran actor has given an astounding performance as a doting father who goes through an emotional turmoil at his daughter’s fate and as a mass hero who sets out on a revenge. Being a 65-year-old, his energy levels in action scenes is quite unbelievable.

Sneha, Baby Anikha, Arya and all others justify their roles. One major glitch was the make-up and styling for Baby Anikha, which looked really awkward.

Mammootty has always given opportunities to newbie filmmakers and Haneef Adeni is the latest addition to the list of directors introduced by Mammootty. With his debut film itself Haneef has displayed his ability and he is someone with a great visual sense.

Camera work, editing and colour grading complemented well to the mood of the movie. While Gopi Sunder’s songs were just average, Sushin Shyam’s background score enhanced the mass quotient.

Though there is nothing new to boast for in the storyline, the director has placed the sequences pretty decently. Mammootty’s stylish avatar and his mass appeal is the USP of the movie.

The Great Father once again proves the scarcity of good stories in Malayalam cinema. If you leave aside your humongous expectations and forget about the ‘Jacki Chan style fight’ claims by the makers, it is a good one time watch.

In a nutshell, The Great Father is a mass-masala movie with all commercial ingredients, aimed majorly at Mammootty fans.
