Mukundan Unni Associates Review: An unique and audacious dark-comedy

Mukundan Unni Associates Review: An unique and audacious dark-comedy

Mukundan Unni Associates is a project that grabbed attention from the time it got announced. Right from it’s title, which is inspired by a popular character from ‘Meesha Madhavan’. Just like Salim Kumar’s character from the Dileep-starrer, Vineeth Sreenivasan’s Mukundan Unni is also an unsuccessful advocate waiting for the big break. Vineeth’s father, veteran Sreenivasan has also done a similar role in ‘Yes Your Honour’. But the similarities end there. Malayalam cinema has seldom seen a character as loathsome as Mukundan Unni.

Director Abhinav Sunder Nayak, who has co-written the film with Vimal Gopalakrishnan, has sketched his protagonist as a vile, self-centered sociopath. In order to succeed, both personally and professionally, Mukundan Unni is willing to go to any extent, and by that, I mean ‘any extent’. Vineeth Sreenivasan is terrific with his performance as he sends a chill down the spine everytime he goes to ‘that extent’. All of this with a dead-pan face. The actor has previously done something similar in ‘Thanneer Mathan Dhinangal’, but this is a notch higher, and will be regraded as his career-best performance.

Along with Vineeth, the film boasts of noteworthy performances from Suraj Venjaramoodu, Tanvi Ram and Sudhi Koppa. Arsha Baiju’s Meenakshi is another wickedly delightful character that breaks all stereotypes of a second heroine. The actress also comes up with a charming performance, and her final exchange with Tanvi’s character is a scream.

‘Mukundan Unni Associates’ is solid in writing, performances and on the technical front. Abhinav, who has edited the film along with Nidhin Raj Arol has designed the film smartly with some extremely creative cuts and juxtapositions. The clever usgea of voice overe and decision to play with the aspect ratios all make it a fascinating experience to be enjoyed in theatres.

Kooman Review: Asif Ali is at his best in this fascinating thriller

Kooman Review: Asif Ali is at his best in this fascinating thriller

Jeethu Joseph has time and again proven his mastery in thrillers. Right from his debut film ‘Detective’ to his last release ‘Bro Daddy’, the director has a special skill set when it comes to helming thriller stories. ‘Kooman’ is one more addition to Jeethu’s list of brilliant thriller films. It follows the story of Giri Shankar, a civil police officer who not your everyday hero.

Giri, stationed at his hometown, is a grey-shaded character who carries with him a lot of inferiority complex. The moment someone pricks his ego, his thirst for vengeance begins. Giri is a deftly sketched character that needed someone like Asif Ali to pull off. The actor is excellent in his portrayal of this ordinary cop, who has no real likeable qualities apart from the fact that he is extremely efficient in his job.

It is hard to write anything about Kooman without getting into the plot. But sharing the spoilers would be unfair on those who couldn’t watch the film yet, so let’s just stop at that. One thing that has to be spoken about is the relevance of this film. It is unusually strange that a major element in Krishnakumar’s script is a raging topic in Kerala today.

Krishnakumar, who has earlier collaborated with Jeethu in ’12th Man’, has come up with an intriguing storyline for ‘Kooman’. The film has two contrasting halves, with the first half having an upper hand. This is where we learn about Giri Shankar and his psyche. This part is convincingly presented and the interval block is a spot-on in piquing the curiosity. From there, the film takes the route of a generic investigative thriller with some twists and turns. Jeethu, who is usually known for his brilliant climaxes, comes up with a rather ordinary one in Kooman, but the tail-end is again intriguing.

Among the supporting cast, Jaffer Idukki gets the best role and he nails it. In tailor-made role, the actor delivers a terrific performance. Renji Panicker, Baburaj and Meghanthan also get meaty roles in the film. Vishnu Shyam’s music and Satheesh Kurup’s cinematography is apt for Jeethu Joseph-style thriller.

In short, ‘Kooman’ is definitely worth watching in theatres. Just like Jeethu’s hugely-popula ‘Drishyam’ series, this one also has immense potential to be a franchise.

Adding to it, Kriti Sanon said, “I always look forward to strong characters and unique stories and ‘The Crew’ is one of them. I am very thrilled to work with two powerhouses of talent, Tabu ma’am and Kareena! I’ve always admired and looked up to them and their work. I’ve met Tabu ma’am at a few occasions and she has always been extremely warm. Bebo is simply iconic. I’ve been a fan girl! On the other hand, Rhea and Ektaa are just phenomenal, strong producers who have backed empowering and progressive female characters and subjects. I’ve always wanted to do a fun, quirky all girls film and this one just ticked all the boxes and I instantly loved the script! Can’t wait for the journey to begin.”
