KL 10 Pathu Review

There was a lot of releases in this Eid season in Mollywood including the films of Mega star Mammootty and popular actor Dileep. There is also film starring the popular pair of Kunchacko Boban and Biju Menon as well. But quite surprisingly the most anticipated one is this season was not the films that mentioned above but it is the film named KL 10 Pathustarring Unni Mukundan and directed by a debutant named Muhsin Parari.

The main reason for that may be the presence of the name Lal Jose in the production and distribution side of the film as the people of Kerala believes that Lal Jose will not give them a bad film whether its his directorial venture or his production/distribution venture. The fantastically made trailer of the film also had made the expectation about the film to reach the top. KL10 Pathu had hit the screens all over today. The movie has been written by Muhsin Parari himself and financed by LJ films, Alexander Mathew and Satheesh Mohan.

KL10 Pathu had set in Malappuram district of Kerala and it is really a film that tells us about the people, their likes and dislikes, the innocence of Malappuram district and had made the best use of Malappuram slang to make the story go forward in the most entertaining manner possible. The story revolves mainly around Ahamad played by Unni Mukundan and his passion for Football and also his love affair with Sadiya played by debutant Chandni Sreedharan. It can be termed as romantic comedy but a different one with its narrative style. Ahammad’s eloping with his lover shadiya and his brother and friends pursuing him forms the major part of the film. The use of Sreenath Bhasi’s character as a narrator of the story is a fresh experiment as well.

Muhsin Parari is a film maker to watch out for in Mollywood in the coming future as he did made the film like a really experienced film maker and with his own script he really bring out the best from his actors. He never let the film to lose its grip on the audience and really made an honest portrayal of the events in the story. The story goes forward in a medium pace which may be the only negative in the storytelling. Bijipal scored in this film heavily with his music that brings out the soul of Malappuram district. Vishnu Narayan’s DOP was also brilliant.

We can say that on performance side Unni Mukundan gave his best performance ever as Ahammad and this will indeed change his career to another level for sure. The supporting actors such as Saiju Kuruppu, Aju Varghese, Sreenath Bhasi, Neeraj Madhav etc were the life of this film with their hilarious performance and they really made the audience clap many times with their funny one liners in the Malappuram slang. But at the same time the slang causes a problem of understanding what characters are saying at many parts as well. People who does not familiar with the Malappuram slang may find some difficulty at times to understand many jokes in the flick.
