Varsham Colletion Report

Varsham, the latest release of Mega star Mammootty, scripted and directed by Renjithshanker, is ringing the money bell at Kerala box office in a big way. The film which released world wide on the same day (November 6th) has got highly positive responses from the spectators and also got very good critical appreciation. Mammootty who had a terrible last four years as a star can now have a sigh of relief as ‘Varsham’ turning out to be his first big hit in last four years.

Even though he did manage to get an average Grosser like Rajadhi raja this year, it cannot be said a substantial success as it got more negative reviews than than positive ones. In this year alone he had five failures such as Balyakaalasakhi, Praise the lord, Gangster, Manglish and Munnariyippu. Even though Minnariyippu has got great critical appreciation, it was a failure in Box office. Now varsham gave him the success for which he was waiting for last four years, thanks to the brilliant screenplay and direction of Renjith Shankar who has been aon a success ride with two consecutive Hits, Punyalan Agarbathees and now Varsham.

Some media reports says that ‘Varsham’ collected around Rs 15 crores and may finish up grossing above 20 crore rupees. As per reports Asianet  channel had bagged the satellite right of Varsham for Rs 4.8 crores. We still don’t know about the actual figures the film had collected and the collection stated above may change. Some says the figures are just fake in order to create hype and attract more people to the theaters and also to satisfy the fans of Mammootty who has been craving for a better release and marketing strategy from Play House release, which had failed in as many occasions they are distributed a Mammootty film.

According to the medias which reported the collection figures,’Varsham’ is still running to full houses and impressing all kinds of audience. But the greater number of removals which the film had suffered in last few weeks suggests to us that the media claim will be a promoting strategy to hold the film in the remaining theaters and delay the termination. Mammootty’s brilliant performance was the talking point of the movie.

Mathai Kuzhappakkaranalla Review

0

Mathai Kuzhappakkaranalla is the latest offering from Popular star Jayasurya, which  is scripted and directed by Akku Akbar and financed by Anto Joseph under Anto Joseph Film Company.The plot of the Film revolves around the title character Mathai, Who always interfere into the life of others.  Jayasurya plays the character of Mathai and actress Bhama  did the female lead in the film opposite Jayasurya.Mukesh and Laksmi Gopalaswamy also has a key role to play in the film.

Mathai is an innocent auto driver who is a native of thrissur district. He is a kind hearted man and He has a tendency to interfere in others life either deliberately or some timesunknowingly. He actually interferes in other’s life with best interests and to help them. But most of the times things go wrong and he gets into problems. Bhama plays the role of a nurse, and she is Mathai’s fiancé too. This time Mathai enters into  the life of Dr.Nandakumar ,played by Mukesh and his wife Geetha played by Lakshmi Gopalaswamy and there by causing a lot of problems in their family life. This turn of events leads the story to some hilarious situations.

Jayasurya delivers his natural best  as Mathai and gave the comical part of the film a boost with his Thrissur dialect. Mukesh plays the character of Dr.Nandakumar once again showed to us why he is one of the best in comedy in Mollywood. Bhama playsthe character of Mathai’s fiance, was aptly casted for this role and gave a mature performance Lakshmi Gopalaswamy, who did the role of Nandakumar’s wife Geetha was also at her best. Sreejith Ravi who portrayed the role of  a dance master stealed the show with his superb skills and got tremendous applause from the audience.

Script And Direction was really let the film down as it was never let the audience to move forward with the story. Script and direction was done by Akku Akbar and he gave nothing new to the audience. The story is told many times before and it was so boring for the spectators to watch it again and again. The performance of the actors like Jayasurya and Mukesh is the only saving factor of the movie. Pradeep Nair’s DOP and Lijopaul’s editing was just average and the Music and Background Score  byAnand Madhusoodanan also remained in the average levels. Totally the film is an average or below average affair that we will not recommend for you all.

Director : Akku Akbar
Release Date : 28/11/2014
Cast : Jayasurya, Bhama, Mukesh

Mylanchi Monjulla Veedu Review

0

Mylanchi Monjulla Veedu, is the Malayalam movie which got released today. Scripted by the popular script writer duo Sibi K Thomas and Uday Krishna and directed by  Debutant Benny Thomas. The film has a great star cast having Popular actor Jayaram and young star Asif Ali in the lead. As we all know the standard of Udayan-Sibi team’s scripts are constantly on the lower side for last 2 years and This film also offers  nothing better than that. We cannot get anything fresh or surprising after watching the movie.

We can say that Mylanchi Monjulla Veedu is a clever combination of Sibi-udayan duo’s some of the past films. The film is filled with all the elements  of their usual  festival films like family tussle, confusion created by marriages etc. we saw it in films like Udayapuram Sultan, Karyasthan etc which was scripted by them . The first half of the film is entertaining and can get pass mark owe to a good turn of events that lead up to the interval.

The story of the film revolves around the tussle  between two families called Parankiyath and Ambalamuttam. First one  isa Muslim family and the second one is a hindu-Nair family. The two families were on friendly terms years before the issues happened when one called Kasim Bhai of Parankiyath family killed one called Ramesh Kurup, member of Ambalamuttom family.  They are eagerly waitng for release of Kasim Bhai from jail to have their revenge on him. At the same time  Dr.Madhavankutty in the disguise of a Muslim named Mammootty  arrives in the scene for the treatment of Kasimbhai. From there the story of revenge, confusion etc starts. Popular actor Jayaram is palying the role of Madhavankutty aka Mammootty.

As a Debutant director, Benny Thomas gave an impressive performance. The film is ina festival mood with colours and richness. Jayaram and Asif Ali gave good performance as usual. But the presence of double meaning dialogues are sometimes very irritating.  Cinematography and back ground scoring was brilliant and Songs were also not bad. Kalabhavan Shajon and Babu Raj handled the comic part very well.

Overall Mylanchi Monjulla Veedu is a usual Sibi-Udayan film which is one time watchable for the audience. We should not recommend it to you all, but for some who can bear usual Sibi-Udayan flicks.

Kaaviya Thalaivan Review

0

Kaaviya Thalaivan (aka Prathinayakan) is a much anticipated Tamil film starring Sidharth, Prithviraj, Nasar and Vedika, directed by none other than Vasanthabaalan. Kaaviya Thalaivan was already raised huge expectations as the film had dealt with the unique genre and also due to the ability of Vasanthabalan to tell the story in a different style. As a first thing to say, the people are really impressed with the way in which the character of Siddharth has been moulded and also with the terrific acting skills he displayed. Vasanthabalan’s script was awesome and the technical side was terrific as we can see it in each and every frame of the film.

The movie is presented as a period film and the story is set in the early periods of  20th century. The plot revolves around two  friends played by Siddharth and Prithviraj , who is working as theatre artists. Both friends were grown up and trained the art under their guru and fatherly figure Thavathiru Sivadas Swamigal played by veteran actor Nassar. The two of went on to become famous and most skilled artists and their fame made their drama troupe to reach to heights that was beyond their imagination. But things were went wrong when the two friends really began to compete with each other which made the going gets tough for the company. The rest of the story tells us about the life of of two such friends from that point. Will they  be friends again or will they ruin themselves by fighting against each other..? The answer to this questions is what you get from the theaters.

When we say about the Performances, as we said earlier,Siddharth, who is the main lead, has amazed the spectators with his deep and sterling performance and Prithviraj’s role and his performance was equally good. Actress Vedhika also gave an impressive performance and the Supporting actors like Nassar, Ponvannan and ThambiRamaiah also gave their best to the movie. AR Rahman’s songs and background music was terrific and has become the  the central piller of the movie. Nirav Shah’s cinematography and KL Praveen’s editing was magical as it really made the audience to go into that world created by Vasanthabalan.

Kaaviya Thalaivan is a poetry on celluloid from Vasanthabalan which we can say simply brilliant. The dialogues of the film is extra ordinary and the great climax also adds upto the beauty of the film. Kaaviya Thalaivan is Must watch classic for all film lovers and its really magical.
