Here’s a glimpse of the making video of Barroz

The makers of Mohanlal’s directorial debut ‘Barroz’ have shared a glimpse of the film’s making video. The 1.53-minute-long video features footages of Mohanlal calling the shots and guiding his crew. Cleverly, the makers have shied away from showing any of the actor. Cinematographer Santosh Sivan, production designer Santhosh Raman, dance choreographer Brinda and producer Antony Perumbavoor feature in the video.

‘Barroz’ is a 3D fantasy film set against the backdrop of the maritime history of Portugal, Spain, India and Africa. The film is scripted by ‘My Dear Kuttichathan’ director Jijo Punnoose. It tells the story of Barroz, a mythical figure who was the gaurdian of Vasco da Gama’s valuable treasures for 400 years until his true heir comes back to protect it. Mohanlal plays the titular role. The makers had initially signed several foreign actors for the film, but the cast has undergone a major reshuffle due to the pandemic. The new set of actors are yet to be announced.

Gargi Review: Sai Pallavi excels in this hard-hitting drama

Gargi Review: Sai Pallavi excels in this hard-hitting drama

Gargi Review: Sai Pallavi excels in this hard-hitting drama

‘Gargi’, written and directed by Gautham Ramachandran, deals with a topic that needs to be spoken about — child abuse. The protagonist is a school teacher hailing from a middle-class household. A victim of child abuse herself, Gargi finds her father being accused of the same. How she fights for him while unraveling a shocking reality is what the film is about.

Playing the titular role, it is Sai Pallavi who shoulders the film effortlessly with her stellar performance. The actress is excellent as the lone warrior who fights for her father’s justice. With the help of an underdog lawyer (played by a brilliant Kaali Venkat), she puts forth a valiant fight even when all the odds are stacked against her.

For most part of the runtime, ‘Gargi’ runs on a tricky thread as it might come across as one of those films that focusses on proving the innocence of the accused. But thankfully, the film takes a startling deviation in the last 10 minutes. Composer Govind Vasantha does most of the talking in these scenes with his excellent usage of the violin strings.

‘Gargi’ is a brilliantly and sensitively shot film. It is commendable that the makers chose not to show the survivor’s face till the time justice is served and she is ready to face the world. The tail-end scene would have been a beautiful culmination if not for a needless, spoon-feeding monologue by Aishwarya Lekshmi’s character, Ananya. The actress with her broken Tamil and shallow character arc adds no real value to the film.

‘Gargi’ is powered by some excellent performances. Besides Sai Pallavi in one of her career best acts, actors Kaali Venkat and Saravanan have come up with stirring performances. RS Sivaji, Jayaprakash, Livingston, the actor who played the cop Bennix and the judge, all effectively perform their roles.

In short, ‘Gargi’ is a must watch film that’s both aesthetically and politically correct.

Prithviraj and Blessy’s highly ambitious film ‘Aadujeevitham’ has finally been wrapped up. The actor took to his social media handle to inform the same with a caption, which reads,

The makers have had to endure various obstacles during this period, which included two years of pandemic. Prithviraj underwent a drastic physical transformation, a first of this kind in Malayalam cinema, for playing the lead character Najeeb.
