Njan Gandharvan(I, The Celestial Lover) -Malayalam 1991

Last of padmarajan's movie.This is a beautiful fantasy story, filled with magical moments. Many movies were inspired by wim Wender's "Wings of Desire", like City of angels etc.Padmarajan takes a leaf out of Wings of Desire and spins the story around our mythology and legends for this movie.Unlike the other movies where the angels are philosophical and dull, the gandharvan in this movie is a lively character. Padmarajan enriches the scenes of gandharvan with his imagination. When ever he appears there is a feast for your senses. Beautiful visuals, good background music, nice dialogues/songs and the characters talk about how there is a good smell of Palla flower when ever he appears.

Movie Review (Not a spoiler though)

Very Beautiful movie.. And Gandharvs are never fantasy. If you read Hindu scriptures properly you will get to know that they are. Unlike Angels and some fairy tales as the name suggest are not described in ancient scriptures are a fantasy.. Indian culture and hindu culture basically is never a fantasy or mythology they are history with principles still applicable in the present and will be in Future. There are Yashas, kritikaen, apsaraen ,pishach, brahmarakshash etc.. also.. Movie was based on Indian Culture and if you want to innovate bout Indian culture then must watch it.

A beautiful love story.
