Mohanlal’s last relase Pulimurugan turned into an all time blockbuster rewriting every single box office record in Kerala. The movie became the first Malayalam movie to enter the 100 crore club.

It is still running to packed theatres in many centres. Pulimurugan was screened in Kochi multiplexes for a record 35 shows on the opening day. The movie had 46 shows from all the multiplexes in Ernakulam district.

Now, Aamir Khan’s Dangal has overcome this record. His much expected sports drama Dangal was released yesterday. The movie has been getting unanimous appreciation from all the centers.

It is expected to break several box office records nationwide. Yesterday on the opening day, movie was screened 55 times in Kochi multiplexes and other theatres.

Dangal, directed by Nitesh Tiwari has been getting excellent reviews from the critics and the audience. The opening day figures have still not been officially announced, but sources inform that it is highly likely to be a new record in Indian cinema.

The movie stars Aamir Khan as Mahavir Singh Phogat, a real life wrestler who trained his two daughters Geeta Phogat and Babita Kumari in wrestling. Fathima Sana Sheikh, Sakshi Tanwar, Zaira Wasim, Sanya Malhotra and Suhani Bhatnagar have played pivotal characters in the movie.

The ongoing cinema strike that has forced all the Malayalam releases to be postponed has helped a great deal in Dangal getting such a massive opening.

Many highly anticipated movies like Mohanlal’s Munthirivallikalal Thalirkkumbol, Dulquer Salmaan’s Jomonte Suvisheshangal, Prithviraj’s Ezra and Jayasurya’s Fukri were scheduled to hit the screens during this vacation period before the strike was called after issues between theatre owners and the producers association.

Dangal Review

Aamir Khan’s much expected sports drama Dangal has finally hit the screens worldwide. The movie is inspired from the real life of Mahavir Singh Phogat and his daughters Geeta and Babita, who are trained in wrestling by their father to bring glory to the country.

Mahavir Singh Phogat is a national wrestling champion who hails from Haryana. He wanted to represent the country and win the gold medal but could not as destiny had something else in store for him. He decides to make his son a champion but he is blessed with 4 girl children. He tries to break the taboo of women participating in Indian sports by training the girls in kusthi. How he is able to achieve his long cherished dream through his daughters forms the rest of the plot.

Dangal is not just another sports drama. It is more of a biopic inspired from the real characters. While doing a sports movie, stereotypes and cliché scenes are bound to be associated with it. Since the movie is inspired from real life achievements whose achievements are well-known to the country, the predictability factor will also be there. But this is where Dangal stands unique, only a very few clichéd scenes are there mostly due to the smart writing by Nitesh Tiwari, Piyush Gupta, Shreyas Jain and Nikhil Merhotra. Tongue in cheek dialogues and the touching emotions between a father and his daughters are beautifully conveyed.

Coming to the performance side, Aamir Khan and the girls have put their whole life into the movie. The stunning body transformation undergone by the actor was already in the news but he does not stop there. His performance is top notch as the stubborn task master who strives for that extra yard to see his girls achieve the goal despite early protests by them and his wife. The girls Fatima Sana Sheikh, Zaira Wasim, Sanya Malhotra and Suhani Bhatnagar have given terrific performances. Especially Fathima Sana Sheikh who fits the bill perfectly as Geeta Kumari. The wrestling training underwent by the girls prior to the shoot helped in making the scenes look authentic and real. Sakshi Tanwar as Aamir’s better half gave a restrained performance.

Technically also Dangal stands tall with excellent cinematography and editing during the wrestling matches. Pritam’s goosebumps inducing music is another major asset in making the movie a sure shot winner.

In a nutshell, Dangal is a near perfect movie that should be experienced by everyone from theatres. More than just a movie it sends out a strong feminist message that girls are no lesser than boys.

So people, grab your tickets for the next possible show. It is worth every single penny.

Gayathri Suresh to debut in Kollywood through 4G

Gayathri Suresh to debut in Kollywood through 4G

The trend of Mollywood actresses foraying into other industries after making their debut, have been prevalent in the industry from the days of Shobhana and Urvashi.

Many actresses in the past have moved to other industries after starting their careers in Malayalam. More recently actresses like Keerthy Suresh and Anu Immanuel have moved to other industries and found success there also. Now we have another actress to that list.

Model turned actress Gayathri Suresh is making her K Town debut through actor/music composer GV Prakash’s next movie. The movie, titled 4G is directed by debutant Venkat Prakkar who is a former assistant to director Shankar. The movie is funded by popular producer CV Kumar. The movie also stars veteran actor Suresh Menon and Sathish in supporting roles.

Gayathri Suresh in a recent interview revealed more details about her role in the movie. 4G is a fantasy love story in which she will be playing the role of Nisha — a sweet and bubbly young girl.

She said, “Shooting with GV Prakash was extremely fun and we have become good friends. I am waiting for the second schedule to kick-start from January.” The first schedule of the movie was mostly shot in Ramoji Rao Film city at Hyderabad and in some parts of Chennai.

Gayathri Suresh made her debut in tinsel town through Kunchacko Boban’s Jamna Pyari. Though the movie was not a big success, Gayathri was noted for her quirky acting and good looks. She was then roped in for many other projects. Her last release was the campus thriller Ore Mugham starring Dhyan Sreenivasan, Aju Varghese, Prayaga Martin and many other actors.

Gayathri Suresh said acting was always her passion. “It was my dream to act in films and I planned it in such a way that I first completed my studies and then concentrate on movies.

Fortunately, I have been getting good offers in Malayalam and Tamil.” She also added that many other offers are coming her way both in Tamil and Malayalam, but she is being careful in choosing her projects.

Gayathri Suresh is currently busy shooting for National award winning filmmaker Sidhartha Siva’s political drama Sakhavu in which Nivin Pauly is playing the lead role.

The movie also stars two other female leads in Kollywood actress Aishwarya Rajesh and Aparna Gopinath. She is also part of Tovino Thomas’ campus entertainer Oru Mexican Aparatha.
