Debutant director Prasobh Vijayan’s Lilli was one of the most daring attemps that Malayalam cinema has seen in recent years. An A-rated survival thriller with loads of violence and bloodshed, Lilli got largely positive reviews from the critics. Though the movie failed to emerge as a commercial winner, it was noted by cinephiles. Recently, the movie was released on Netflix and as expected it has become a talk in cine discussion platforms.

Corrie Hinschen, a popular Australia based YouTuber, who reviews Asian films seems to have been highly impressed by ‘Lilli’. In a six-minute-long video posted on his official channel Pieces of Work, Corrie discusess about how ‘Lilli’ works as a female empowerment film and the various other striking elements in it. He also heaped praise on the performance of Dhanesh Anand, who played Rajesh, one of the negative characters in the movie.

Corrie compared Dhanesh Anand’s performance as a psychic killer to that of Anthony Hopkins’ legendary act as Hannibal Lecter in ‘Silence of Lambs’ and ‘Red Dragon’. He also mentioned about how the young actor never went overboard like how psychopath characters are portrayed in cinema generally.

Upon Lilli’s theatrical release in September, Dhanesh’s performance was widely talked about. Some of the dialogues and mannerisms by his character could easily irk anyone. Despite being a debutant, Dhanesh imbibed the psychotic nature very well and it is extremely heartening to see his performance being compared with an Oscar winner like Anthony Hopkins.

I’m 100% confident that family audiences will love ‘Ente Ummante Peru’: Urvashi

Debutant director Jose Sebastian’s ‘Ente Ummante Peru’ is all set to hit screens tomorrow (December 21). The movie has Tovino Thomas and veteran actress Urvashi in the lead roles. As the title suggests, the movie traces a beautiful relationship between a mother and her son. Urvashi, who is making a comeback to Malayalam after a brief gap is very confident that the movie would strike a chord with the family audiences.

In a recent interview, Urvashi sounded very hopeful about the film. She committed for the project four years back but it didn’t materialize then due to various reasons. According to her, movies with stories about family relationships will always have takers. After playing the ‘umma’ character in this film, Urvashi wished that she had a mother like that. Her on-screen chemistry with Tovino will be refreshing as this is their first film together.

In the interview, Urvashi added that she did not have to try hard for the dialogues as it was a very organic process. She also lauded her co-star Tovino, who she thinks has excellent humour sense. The veteran firmly believes that this will be one of the best films in Tovino’s career.

Director Jose Sebastian has co-scripted ‘Ente Ummante Peru’ with Sarath R Nair. The narrative follows the journey of Tovino’s character Hameed, who is on the look out for his mother, whom he has never seen in his entire life. Though the subject is very emotional in nature, it is told in a very enjoyable manner. The movie also stars newcomer Saipriya, Shanthi Krishna, Dileesh Pothan, Hareesh Kanaran, Siddique and Mammukoya.

How the supporting characters influence in the characterization of Maari will be the major highlight in the sequel.

Dulquer Salmaan is going to make a mark in Bollywood: Sonam Kapoor

As we had reported earlier, Dulquer Salmaan is starring in the movie adaptation of Anuja Chauhan’s 2008 best seller novel, The Zoya Factor. Abhishek Sharma is directing the movie and Sonam Kapoor plays the titular role of Zoya. Fox Star Studios and Adlabs Films are jointly funding the movie which is scheduled as an April release, next year.

The Zoya Factor is centred around Zoya Singh Solanki, a PR executive. Zoya was born on the exact moment when Indian cricket team had lifted the 1983 World Cup. She is considered as a lucky charm by the Indian team and media. While everyone consider her lucky, team’s captain Nikhil Khoda and Zoya are always at loggerheads. The former doesn’t believe in luck and relies on performance. Zoya keeps clashing with the Indian skipper, and what follows is a love-hate relationship.

Dulquer plays Nikhil Khoda’s role in the movie. In a recent interview, Sonam was all praise of her co-star. She firmly believes that Dulquer will make a mark soon in Bollywood. She is quoted saying,

“Dulquer has done a great job of playing Nikhil Khoda, who is this quite, serious, sexy, sarcastic and lovable sort of a character. He is a big star down South and I think he’s gonna make his mark in the Hindi film industry as well. I’m very excited about it. He speaks Hindi very fluently and there is no accent, which was very amazing for me to see. And, he’s very cute. Actually, I first saw him in OK Kanmani and I thought he was amazing in it.”

For playing the cricketer’s role in Zoya Factor, Dulquer had trained hard in the sport. Videos of him sweating it out in the nets have gone viral in social medias.

Vijay Sethupathi and Jayaram team up for ‘Marconi Mathai’

We were among the first to report about Vijay Sethupathi making his Malayalam debut with a movie directed by Sanil Kalathil.

The makers have planned to start shooting in January. Goa, Chennai, Ernakulam and Changanacherry are the major locations.

The title ‘Marconi Mathai’ is very intriguing as Guglielmo Marconi was the one who invented radio. As the title suggests, radio plays a crucial part in the film. Jayaram plays Mathai, an ex-military man who works as a security at a bank. The story revolves around Mathai’s romance with Anna, a sweeper in the bank. Vijay Sethupathi plays a mysterious character who goes around solving others problems and spreading happiness.

Director Sanil Kalathil himself has scripted the movie jointly with Rejish Midhila. Sajan Kalathil is the cinematographer and M Jayachandran will be handling the music department. Shameer Muhammed is in charge of the edits. Satyam Audios are making their entry to production by funding this film.

It’s a wrap for Lijo Jose Pellissery’s Jallikattu

Lijo Jose Pelissery had been working on his new movie, ‘Jallikkattu’, for the last couple of months. Shoot came to an end last day in Kattappana. The movie is based on S Hareesh’s short story ‘Maoist’, which discusses about the Maoist situation and a person’s right to freedom, from the point of view of two buffaloes.

‘Jallikkattu’ has Antony Varghese in the lead role. Though the makers are yet to announce the cast, it is said that Vinayakan and Sabumon Abdusamad are playing the other major roles. According to Lijo, the movie is a satire told with a lot of humour. Taking the crux out of Hareesh’s short story, they have developed a screenplay which explores the beastly side of man. Lijo believes that it is an idea that hasn’t been explored much before.

‘Jallikkattu’ technical crew comprises of ‘Angamaly Diaries’ composer Prashanth Pillai and cinematographer Girish Gangadharan. Deepu Joseph is handling the edits and Renganaath Ravee is in charge of the sound design. Release date is expected to be announced soon.

Back to back big releases for Mammootty in February!!
