Pinarayi Vijayan’s reply to Liberty Basheer who called him a Mammootty fan

After the attack on a popular actress in Kochi, there have been kinds of statements from industry insiders and others. Former president of the Exhibitiors Federation, Liberty Basheer had said that the Chief Minister could take strict action against the conspirators only if actor Mammootty does not involve himself in the proceedings.

Liberty Basheer had alleged that Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan is a Mammootty fan and has close association with him. He mentioned that it was this association with Mammootty that made the government take a biased stand during the cinema strike. He also added that Mohanlal will never get involved in such issues.

Chief Minister has now replied back to Liberty Basheer’s allegations. He said, “Even after being a person hailing from Thalassery, he still hasn’t understood me.”

It must be remembered that both Liberty Basheer and Cheif Minister Pinarayi Vijayan have their roots in Thalassery.

Liberty Basheer had earlier informed that he is planning to shut down all his theatres and turn into a shopping mall after distributors and producers were not willing to distribute movies to theatres under his ownership. They have accused him of trying to ruin the industry by calling for unwanted strikes and thereby causing huge losses.

Veeram Review : Vadakkan Pattu in a brand new bottle of Macbeth

Director Jayaraj’s highly anticipated epic historic drama Veeram has finally hit screens. The movie was screened at several international festivals including the BRICS Film Festival and IFFI, Goa. Let’s see whether the movie has lived up to the expectations.

The movie starts off with Renji Panicker’s narration. Veeram is an adaptation of William Shakespeare’s Macbeth. The director has adapted Macbeth with the Vadakkan Pattukal of North Malabar region. We, Malayali audience, have seen Vadakkan Pattuakal and related stories in many yesteryear classics. So Chandu Chekavar, Aaromal Chekavar and Unniyarcha is no alien to us.

Legend has it that, Aromal Chekavar, a well-known warrior, is killed after a sword fight in which his sword gets broken. Aromal manages to win the fight but then fingers are pointed at his cousin Chandu for replacing the metallic rivets with wooden ones. Chandu is said to have betrayed his cousin because he was jealous of Aromal’s popularity and abilities. Aromal after a altercation with Chandu gets killed by him. Aromal’s sister Unniyarcha, vows her sons will avenge her brother’s death. Chandu finally gets killed by Unniyarcha’s sons.

In Veeram, director Jayaraj has smartly infused Macbeth with the Vadakkan Pattukal. We are not going too much into how that has been showcased in the movie, as it will be a spoiler of sorts.

Jayaraj has done an incredible job to present the movie in such a big canvas. He roped in some best available technicians and has succeeded in presenting the movie as an international product. Malayali audience might get disappointed as the plot is very familiar to us but for people outside the region, Veeram will certainly be a new experience.

Coming to the performance side, Kunal Kapoor and all the supporting actors have done a commendable job. Normally in multilingual movies, glitches are bound to be there with the lip sync. But in Veeram, all the actors have done good homework to perfect the diction while delivering the heavy dialogues.

In the technical side, CG works could have been better but the visuals were aesthetic and appealing. Stunts choreographed by Allan Poppleton, who has worked in Hollywood films like Lord of the Rings and Avatar, is brilliant. The movie will throw light on the intricate details and the history behind the world’s oldest primeval martial art form Kalaripayattu.

Veeram will be a visual treat for those who enjoy watching epic historic dramas.

Dhuruvangal 16 to finally release in Kerala

Dhuruvangal 16 to finally release in Kerala

One of the most talked about movie in recent times is Dhuruvangal 16, a whodunit thriller starring veteran actor Rahman in the lead role. The movie has got excellent response from the audience as well as the industry insiders. What amazed everyone was the incredibly mature work from the 22 year old director Karthick Naren.

Several celebrities like Gautham Menon, Vijay, Sivakarthikeyan, Rana Daggubati, AR Murugadoss, Vetrimaran, Simbu, Aravind Swamy and many others have heaped praise on the movie.

The movie recently crossed it’s 50 day theatrical run in Tamil Nadu. Unfortunately, Kerala auidence was deprived of a theaterical experience. Keralites started talking about the movie only after it’s release in the Torrents platform. Soon word of mouth spread like wild fire and the movie has been the topic of discussion in several social media groups.

Finally, the Kerala theatrical rights of the movie is bought by a production company Writer Imaginations, owned by Mahavishnu, a 22 year old youngster. He shared the happy news through a post in his official Facebook page.

Pulimurugan closing in on 150 days with 150 crores collection

Pulimurugan closing in on 150 days with 150 crores collection

Last year, we got to a new feat that once seemed far away from the clutches of a Malayalam movie. Pulimurugan showed it’s possible for a Malayalam movie to touch the 100 crore mark.

The movie, released on October 7 was a product of unprecedented hype. The team behind the movie had a baggage of expectations, and they made sure the movie lived up to that. Pulimurugan is an example of how marketing can have a great impact in the box office figures.

The movie is nearing the magical 150 days theatrical with a collection of more than 150 crores. It is a phenomenal achievement for a movie, be it from any language, to have 150 days theatrical run. The movie overcame all sorts of obstacles that came in it’s way in the form of piracy, financial crisis due to demonetisation and the theatre strike.

Pulimurugan is the result of continuous hardwork of a team of technicians and actors for over an year. Writer Udhayakrishna and director Vysakh’s conviction to plan the movie on a big canvas and execute it with such near perfection is praiseworthy. And they had the right kind of support from their producer, Tomichan Mulakupadam.

Peter Hein’s brilliantly choreographed action sequences, Shaji Kumar’s stunning visuals, Gopi Sunder’s electrifying score and the commendable VFX works, everything went hand in hand to ensure a quality final product.

However, all this would not have been possible if not for Mohanlal. At the age of 56, he did stunts that even the younger generation of actors would not dare to do. Audience thronged to the theatres to watch Mohanlal in all his glory on big screen. His name pulled the audience of all age groups to theatres. The success of Pulimurugan was a wake up call for all those who believed that mass action movies do not have takers in Mollywood.

Pulimurugan will always find it’s name in the history books of Mollywood, not only for becoming the first Malayalam movie to enter the 100 crore club but for inspiring filmmakers to plan movies on a wide canvas with a bigger scale.

Munthirivallikal Thalirkkumbol enters the 50 crore club?

Mohanlal’s latest release Munthirivallikal Thalirkkumbol is continuing it’s glorious theatrical run. The movie released on January 20 has already crossed the 30 crore club and stands unshaken at the box office.

Munthirivallikal Thalirkkumbol, directed by Vellimoonga fame Jibu Jacob featured Mohanlal and Meena in the lead roles. The movie, initially scheduled to hit screens during the Christmas season had to be postponed due to the theatre strike.

Director Jibu Jacob has now shared a poster that claims that the movie has entered the 50 crore club. This has triggered discussions about the authenticity of the claim in social medias. Exact collection reports from the overseas centres are still not available. So we will have to wait for the official reports from trade sources. If the reports are to be believed, then it is Mohanlal’s third successive Malayalam movie to enter the club after Oppam and Pulimurugan. The actor’s family thriller Drishyam, released in 2013 was the first Malayalam movie to cross the 50 crore mark.

Munthirivallikal Thalirkkumbol witnessed tremendous response in the box office from the opening day itself. Mohanlal’s next after Pulimurugan and his teaming with Vellimoonga’s director heightened the expectations of the audience. Upon release, critics and common audience praised the movie unanimously. Families took a particular liking for the movie and flocked the theatres in large numbers.

The movie is written by M Sindhuraj. It is inspired from James VJ’s famous short story Pranayopanishath. The story revolves around a middle aged couple who rediscover their lost love from the boredom of their routine life.

Mohanlal essayed the character of Ulahannan, a panchayath secretary while Meena played his wife Aniyamma homemaker. Jacobinte Swargarajyam fame Aima Rose Sebastian and Sanoop Santhosh have played their kids in the movie. The lead cast’s performance and a neat screenplay infused with situational humour was appreciated by the critics.

Sophia Paul produced this movie under the banner Weekend Blockbusters.
