Ann Maria Kalippilanu Review

Ann Maria Kalippilanu aka Aan Maria Kalippilaanu is one among the 3 releases that graced Mollywood today. The flick is directed by Midhun Manuel Thomas and scripted by the director himself in association with John Manthirichal. The film is produced by Alice George under the banner of Goodwill entertainments. Sunny Wayne, Baby Sara Arjun, Aju Varghese etc played the lead characters in this movie. This is the second venture of Midhun Manuel Thomas as a director after Aadu Oru Beekara Jeeviayanu which released last year. The posters and trailer of this movie got great response before its release and a song sung by Vineeth Sreenivasan also attracted the people towards this movie.

The plot of the movie revolves around Ann Maria as the title suggests. Baby Sara playing this character in the movie. Ann Maria is a 4th standard student and she wants to get first prize in high jump just like her father did years back. Her father is in Syria as a part of a camp and she is with her mother who is a doctor. But the villain in her life is the PT Master in her school. One day she lodges a complaint against PT Master to the principal and that makes him to turn against her. He deliberately disqualify her while she participates in High Jump competition and takes his revenge against her. She becomes furious with that and wants to take her revenge upon him. She decided to find someone who can give some body blows to the PT Master. Her search takes her to a local fraudster named Poombatta Gireesh played by Sunny Wayne.

We can say that Midhun Manuel Thomas had succeeded in doing a movie which is very much better than his maiden venture Aadu Oru Beekara Jeeviayanu, which released last year. Midhun Manuel Thomas and John had jointly wrote a screenplay which is an average one in terms of its quality and he executed it decently. Even though there was lagging in the narration, he managed somehow to make the audience to sit through. There was nothing special in the screenplay, but it was not bad either. The absence of a strong plot really affected the movie. Even though the total narration lacked freshness, it managed to make the audience entertained to an extent.

The performances from artist were decent. Sunny Wayne as Poombatta Gireesh, had done a good Job and Baby Sara done a decent job as well. Artists like Aju Varghese, Leona Shinoy, Saiju Kuruppu etc also done a good job and the guest role from Dulquer Salmaan got great appreciation from the audience. But the real show stealers in this flick is Siddique and Biju Kuttan. Siddique was terrific in emotional scenes and sometimes he will make us remind about that vintage Siddique which we saw in films like Lelam. Biju Kuttan also made the audience laugh heart out in some sequences.

The film has only one song and it was good. But the background scoring was not that good. Shan Rahman had tuned the song and background scoring was done by Sooraj S Kuruppu. Visuals from Vishnu Sharma was decent and Lijo Paul’s editing was also neat.

In total, Aan Mariya Kalippilanu is a onetime watchable flick which will not let you down, if you go without much expectation.

Will Mohanlal-Gauthami pair repeat the history again !

August 5, on this day Mohanlal will create a history in Mollywood as he again become the only star from here who gets multiple language release of his movie on the same day. Years back, his movie Kalapani directed by Priyadarshan had achieved that feat. No other stars from Kerala had got more than 2 language release of their movies on a single day till now. Mohanlal movie Vismayam is releasing in 3 languages on the same day.

It will release in Telugu as Manamantha and in Tamil as Namadhu along with the Malayalam version named Vismayam. Not only in India, but also in overseas market, all 3 versions of the movie will be released. But, people are waiting to see another history repeating again with this movie. It will be related to the onscreen re-union of Mohanlal and Gauthami.

Gauthami is playing the female lead in Vismayam and it is her 3rd film with Mohanlal in her entire career. At first she acted with him in Malayalam, in a movie named His Highness Abdulla in the early1990’s. That film was a super success in box office as well as a critically appreciated one. His Highness Abdulla is one of the all-time classics here in Mollywood. Later she shared screen space with Mohanlal in Iruvar directed by Mani Ratnam, which is considered as the best in the career of both Mohanlal and Mani Ratnam. It regarded as one of the evergreen classic films made in Indian Cinema.

Now, this pair had united again on screen for a Chandrashekhar Yeleti movie, who is a master director from Tollywood. There is all possibilities that this pair may repeat the history with their magical performance.
