Ennum Eppozhum Review

Ennum Eppozhum it means Forever Always and the title really looks perfect after we watched the film. It has been an eagerly awaited movie for quite a time and when it came today it really delivered the goods with dignity and class. A film for all to keep in their memories forever always as the title tells. The film is conceived by none other than the director who touched the heart of Malayalees with his soulful films and you all know who is that director is. Yes, it is none other than Sathyan Anthikkad.

He is always been the director who had got the support of families and every family trusts him a lot while they chose to watch a film in theater. If there is a sathyan anthikkad film , then no doubt that family audience will prefer him more than anyone. This time he is back with his most favourite actor and it is the actor-director pair which gave us classics. It is Mohanlal, the most complete actor in Indian cinema history and the one who rules mollywood with his out of the world crowd pulling capacity and indescribable skills of acting.

The film tells a simple tale and nothing complicated. The story revolves around Vineeth N Pillai, a staff reporter of Vanitha Ratnam family Magazine and his attempts to get an interview from Deepa, a noted advocate. During his efforts to get that interview from her he really began to involve in her life indirectly and there happens a bond between them. It tells the life of our common man and Renjan pramod had given tiny details which is very relevant in our society today. Raveendran who wrote the story really made a simple but perfect one for Sathyan Anthikad- Mohanlal and Manju Warrier team to come up with.

Ennum Eppozhum is good to go for family audiences during this summer . The highlight of the film is the stunning performances of Mohanlal and Manju Warrier and also the script by Renjan Pramod. Another star who may you wont get noticed much is Raveendran ( Disco Raveendran ) who wrote the story of Ennum Eppozhum. Mohanlal was just awesome as he reminds us of the Mohanlal of the 90’s with expressions, energy and comedy numbers. He is just perfect or can be called as a complete package of entertainment. His dialogue delivery, funny expressions and the performance of him in the emotional scenes of the film makes us once again realize that there is no one in mollywood to compete with him in pure talent, skill and in naturality of acting. He is that much perfect in each and every minute details of the character named Vineeth N Pillai.

Manju had made a great comeback last year and she continues to deliver the same grace and done the character named Deepa with Elan. When two great artists compete with each other on screen to make the characters perfect we can’t ask for more. The surprise package in the film was none other than actor/writer/director Renji Panicker who got the appreciation of audience with his unusual comedy numbers. Vidyasagar’s music suits the situations up to an extend. Neil D Cunha’s DOP gave a fresh feel to the film as well. Ennum Eppozhum is a total family entertainer with lots of fun, great music, simple but beautiful story and we can say that this is the pure Malayalam cinema we want to watch irrespective of any generation differences.

Oru Vadakkan Selfie Review

At last one of the much awaited flick Oru Vadakkan Selfie got released today. This was much awaited ever since the projects has been announced and the factor which made this film that much an anticipated one is that the team of Vineeth Sreenivasan and Nivin Pauly. Whenever Vineeth Sreenivasan and Nivin Pauly had joined hands the result was great success. Their first association was Malarvadi Arts Club through which both Vineeth (as a director and script writer) and Nivin Pauly(as an actor) had made their debut in mollywood. That was a super hit film and they just begun with style. Then comes the blockbuster f this team, Thattathin Marayathu which had become one of the trendsetting love story ever made in mollywood. That film is the one which gave a star image to actor Nivin Pauly and from then on he never have to stop and look back.

The plot of the film revolves around a character named Umesh who has failed in his engineering exam and then comes to his village. He and his friend plans to do a short film, but it ends in disaster. Later when become aware that he had failed in the supplementary exams he decides to run away from his village to Chennai as he fears his father and on the way he had a short encounter with a girl who is his neighbor. He took a selfie with her without her knowledge and send it to his friends for showing off. But that becomes a turning point in his life as the girl went missing from that day and suspicion falls on him as he was the last one who saw her and took that selfie with her stating to his friends that she was his lover. Fromm there the film showcases the interesting events happening in his and his friend’s life who accompanies him to find her.

The trailer and songs of the film which had become viral in social networking Medias gave us a feel about what may be the impact of the film. But it was more than that we saw in the trailer as the film entirely follows a different path from what we saw in the trailer and the makers also made a good effort to give a message to the society, specially to young people who fell in the trap of online love relations etc.

It was an out and out fun filled enjoyable journey for the spectators and it will not disappoint anybody. The backbone of the film is the terrific screenplay by Vineeth Sreenivasan who did a key role in the film as well. Each and every scene written by Vineeth carries feel good energy in it and the main thing is that the audience gets it. And the debutant Prajith made his maiden venture in direction a memorable one with precise sense of visuals and in fact he made the script look more and more shining with his great visual sense.

Another important factor is the music of Shan Rahman. He is just rocked the show with his mind blowing numbers. It was a real comeback from Shan after Om Shanti Oshana. And the DOP by Jomon T John was always great to watch and this time too he made it perfect with his great skill. When it comes to the department of actors, it’s a real team effort. Nivin Pauly as usual in his charming best, then Aju Varghese, Neeraj Madhav and Manjima Mohan etc are made their part to perfection and never looked out of place. And we can say it with full confidence that Oru Vadakkan Selfie is a film which you can watch it with your family and friends which will give you a great time in cinema halls.

Director : Prajith
Release Date : 27/3/2015
Cast : Nivin Pauly, Aju Varghese, Vineeth Sreenivasan, Manjima Mohan

100 days of love going to make it to the hit chart

Jenuse Muhammad’s maiden venture 100 days of love starring Dulquer Salmaan, Shekhar Menon and Nithya Menon had opened to mixed reviews from all over. It been getting above average response from romantic film lovers and had started off well in box office as far as the collections is concerned. The film had got 1.22 cr in the opening day itself and it was indeed a great start taking into consideration that it was an exam season.

The film is slowly but steadily going to a hit status. It may not become a super hit or Mega hit as there are many big projects are all set to release this season which vishu festival as well as summer vacation season. Anyway further going forward of this film will surely depend on the coming ones. The opening made by 100 days of love in its very first day can be termed as a bumper opening when consider it as a young actor film without a super or mega stars in it. But after taking a great opening of 1.22 cr on the first day the film had slowed down a bit in the second day in some sectors.

But when it is considered in an overall viewpoint it still did very good. And the film on its third day again showed a good and healthy growth in collections and thereby made 3.25 cr as the 3 days gross collection and it is somewhat equal to any great opening a young actor film ever get in mollywood. From the overall gross collections, the share which the film has got in 3 days is around 1.46 crores and it can be consider as a great share when we consider it is an exam season release and lack of big stars in it.

It also shows the consistency of Dulquer Salmaan when it comes to opening as his every films assures a good opening weekend owing to his influence on youth and also thanks to the fans of his father Mammootty which helps him to secure a good opening weekend at box office.  And if the pattern of collection graph of this film will go forward, 100days of love  will cross the mark of 2 cr share before the competition gets tough with Vishu releases.
