Kattappanayile Rithwik Roshan (2016)
Good Movie
It was a wonderful movie to watch. Kudos to Nadir Sha and team. Well conceived plot. Made realistic and apt for the character with a fantastic acting performance from Vishnu Unnikrishnan. Didn't realize the script was written by Vishnu himself and Bibin George. Good work by both. Congratulations to the Producers-Dileep, Dr. Zachariah and Director-Nadir to have dared to make such a movie with complete group of unknown newcomers and yet make a great successful movie. The movie is hilarious as well as grave when needed. The comic scenes were astute. All actors performed well in their respective roles. The movie story is also an encouragement for many who face failures in the early part of the career to look to the positive side. Overall a great entertainer for the family.
Philips and the Monkey Pen (2013)
An enthralling movie for family
Another superb Malayalam movie and as usual is truly apart from the regular Indian Cinema. Fantabulous direction of Shanil Muhammed, Rojin Thomas & Rojin Philip which is absolutely flawless and distinctive creativity with a combination of great cinematography by Neil D'Cunha and beautiful locales from our very own God's own Country's Cochin. All the kids have acted extremely well especially Sanoop Santhosh who acted as Ryan Philip. Ryan and the other kids are the best child actors in the country. There is no Indian movie or TV shows in 2013 which can match these kids acting. The other characters like Ryan's parents, Grandpa, the school teacher, Principal, God etc. are all placed well and have been enacted well too. Kudos to Shanil Muhammed and Rojin Thomas for having written such a wonderful story on child innocence and actual life and how to counter the same with a smile is not only appealing to kids and adults alike but also with such good morales for the growing kids to learn and use in their day to day life like respecting and loving the Teachers and simple deeds which can have immense impact.
The music by Rahul Subrahmaniam is also excellent with some good songs apt for the movie which can compel the audience into tears.
Prejish Prakash edited the movie very well keeping it to the point with each moment of the movie absolutely captivating.
Fletch (1985)
Good Entertainer
Watched this last weekend at home with family, where Chevy Chase plays an investigative journalist with a passion for clever disguises.
We see Fletch going from place to place making up interesting characters with a great presence of mind to turn every situation into his favour and solving the mystery. The car chase, the hospital scenes as a kidney pain patient and subsequently as a doctor were absolutely hilarious.
Chevy acts with absolute ease and is completely into this role keeping the audience laughing from beginning to end. Michael Ritchie is a good director supported by good screenplay from Andrew Bergman.
Shahid (2012)
Best Hindi Movie of the Year 2013.
Its an exceptional piece of work and rare to find in Hindi movies. Excellent acting, well chosen actors, good screenplay, wonderful music completely in sync with the scenes and absolutely superb direction. Bollywood should make more of such movies but the pity is that these type of movies don't run or make money in most of the states in India. But Kudos to the producers like Ronnie Screwvala & director Hansal Mehta showcasing the dark reality of the people who take up the struggles for justice and empowerment in this country. Its a great service to the nation showing the real story of Shahid Azmi who was actively involved in organizing legal defence for many innocent & poor people who got arrested in Maharashtra & Gujarat on charges of masterminding and carrying out terror attacks and was assassinated in India, fighting the brutal police State that the Indian democracy has become in its dubious war against terrorism. I would highlight what Ajit Sahi wrote in Tehelka: "Because the Indian State is hand-in-glove with the western powers, and because India's dominant middle classes solidly back that relationship, the western or Indian media are unlikely to hail Shahid Azmi, who was killed in Mumbai on February 11, as a martyr to the cause of bringing justice to hundreds of the poor, mostly Muslims, falsely accused of terrorism." Advice all those who actually love India to see this movie.
