Amal (2007)
Amal at the Toronto International Film Festival
I saw AMAL at the Toronto International Film Festival and was blown away.
Amazing.
What an incredible venture by the cast and crew - kudos to all of them.
The film is filled with beauty and depth and everything that we take for granted.
It's hard to imagine how difficult it was to finish when the product is so polished, so complete.
Everyone I know who saw the film loved it - we're so proud of Richie and the rest of the crew/cast for accomplishing such a feat.
Poochakkoru Mookkuthi (1984)
One of the best Malayalam movies!
Everything about this movie is fantastic: the script, the acting, the story. It was even remade in Hindi (called 'Hungama') in 2003 and directed by Priyadarshan himself.
It was remade scene for scene. For those seeing the Hindi version first would enjoy the clever storyline and performances. Akshaye Khanna and Paresh Rawal are good.
HOWEVER, the Malayalam version is far, far better! It's got a star cast: Mohanlal, Menaka, Jagathi Sreekumar, Sukumari, Nedumudi Venu. Not to mention all the other side actors! It's too good!
The songs are catchy. The climax has got to be one of the funniest ever.
I believe this was Priyadarshan's first film. Don't miss this one - even if you have seen the Hindi version!
