Oppam (2016)
An above average movie... a worthwhile watch
Last day i went to watch this movie after i heard a lot of hype rating the movie as exceptional. I have to say that it is a good movie but don't expect too much from it. The climax was somewhat predictable but the movie has its moments.
Special praise for the cinematography and the suspense in some scenes. I am actually pleased to tell that the fight scenes where actually very good. It took me back to the time when mohanlal was at the height of his career. My personal opinion is that the 3 songs in the first half of the movie was a bit of an overdo. But things get better during the second half.
Mohanlal has done some serious acting and all the other characters are beautifully casted. if not for some things i would have given it a 10 rating. I think that this movie can be considered a valuable addition to the long list of mohanlal movies and special congrats to the team behind it. Best of luck!!
The Angry Birds Movie (2016)
an amazing film!!!
when i first heard that they were making a movie out of the angry birds concept i expected it to be trash. But this surpassed my expectations by through its good script and humour.
i congratulate the directors in making a good film out of a very small concept. the birds are really adorable and the whole thing is a pleasure to watch.
the pigs are also better than i expected. the film has an amazing style. special mention for the voice-over for all the characters which were really apt for the character. this film reminds me why i keep watching animation. thank you for this adorable film.
Zootopia (2016)
A beautifully portrayed movie
Zootopia amazed me with its script. The film focuses on the life events of judy who is an underrated police officer. The story line is told in a way which keeps the audience gripped to their seats. I was especially pleased with the voice-over provided for the characters. The film also has good animation which need not be said for a Walt Disney movie. The whole concept of the movie is interesting as it tells the story of civilized animals.
Walt Disney ceases to amaze us with its animation and script as this is worthy of mention. The villain didn't exactly take me by surprise though. But it is no flaw. Overall i would have no trouble watching a second part for this movie which explains my interest for it. 😉
Captain America: Civil War (2016)
Average would be an overstatement
When people where going crazy about this movie i expected it to be different and good. But this was not so. I mean honestly, how could people term it as a superb movie. It had the worst villain i have ever seen and the spiderman was just a mockery of the original. If it wasn't for some good parts and the comedy evoked i would have not given it 2 out of 10. Honestly, if one ordinary man can lead all these superheroes in a wild goose chase and pit them against each other, then how where they good in the first place.
But i have to give credit for antman who was portrayed better but the lack of hulk was imminent. I don't even understand how the villain was able to bring ironman and captain America together for a fight in the climax. I don't know why they didn't just pit the winter soldiers against them which was what everyone expected and i think would have been a better climax than this.
Chirakodinja Kinavukal (2015)
a spoof that is seriously underrated
I had seen this film again previously and i felt that this movie deserves a mention. It is one of the better attempts at spoof making which is a genre ignored by malayalam cinema in general. There are numerous subtle as well as obvious references to earlier malayalam cinemas which can be understood more by a malayalee. I don't think outsiders may be able to appreciate the film for the depth in understanding it provides to Indian cinema. It makes fun of many high budget superstar cinemas which makes us reflect on the quality of cinemas that the industry provides to its viewers. Overall, i would like to congratulate the thought that the director has given towards the script of this film. The references to countless cinemas in each minute of the film showcases the brilliance of the director. Spoofs such as this is a pleasure to watch.
Maheshinte Prathikaaram (2016)
a simple plot with an amazing script
The movie revolves around a simple story which is portrayed amazingly by fahad fazil. He has done an amazing job of his role and the comedy contained in this film is different from the usually seen type of jokes. The movie does an excellent job of telling a simple story in an interesting way which does not get the viewer bored. It is my belief that it is difficult for a director to keep the audience interested without any twists or turns which this film lacks. Still the film provides a visual treat which in itself is amazing. Cudos to the team behind the film. I also loved the perfectly normal way in which mahesh was portrayed. Mahesh is throughout put to shame from his love affair to street fights which is not usually seen in the usual films. It tells a tale which us therefore similar to the consequences faced by a normal human being. This film feels like it is a story happening next door which is what i think the director tried to do in the first place.
