#ThondimuthalumDriksakshiyum. Please do
not think I'm babbling. This is the latest Malayalam film by #DileeshPothan.
This is his second movie (wow) after the much critiqued #MaheshintePrathikaram.
Both movies carrying the super awesome #FahadhFaasil.
My awe for Mallu movies and their makers keep soaring
high up with every movie off late. The pace of this movie is quite slow only to
give a run to the art movies. Barring that, I doubt if such natural film making
would ever be practised by the other regional film makers.
The story (like in many of Mani's movies) can be written
behind a stamp. The articulation of the subject is what matters. All the actors
live their roles. So much so that, especially if you have spent time in the
villages of Kerala, you would for a second think you are part cast of the
movie. Suraj, Nimisha (what a find!), Alencier and every other member bring so
much life to their characters. You are sure to find them on the roads of
Kerala. Such is the portrayal!
I will not justify this post without expressing my
admiration for Fahadh. Did his father coach him on acting when he was still in
his mother's womb??? His body language as a petty theft criminal is
unmistakable. His voice modulation, looking through the corner of his eyes with
head tilted at 45 degrees showing his inhibition to speak up especially when
interrogated, showing the subtle
sense of humour such criminals carry, and his cool approach to people other than the police! He is sure to go a very long way! He has never been a contender in looks to his contemporaries. But that hardly matters! He is a wow package of performance!

Overall, a 90 minutes movie stretched to 135 minutes.
Leaves the audience with a mix of emotions - all subtle!
