Review of Christian Brothers

TRAILOR

Watched Christian Brothers from kasaragod Samrat theatre(8pm show)
Crowd response was terrific, Chenda mela okke undaayirunnu(kasaragodil idu aadyamaanu)
Mangaloril 2 theatril release undennu advertise maathram..:x
Poya friends okke chumma thirichu vannu..

Movie revolves around Christy Varghese(Mohanlal) and his family. Joji(Dileep) falls love with Meenakshi(Kavya Madhavan). She  was kidnapped and Mohanlal comes from Mumbai to help them to resolve the kidnap issue. The further story continues in a typical Sibi K Thomas-Uday Krishna script and its packed with twists and turns. Movie is a much hyped multi starrer and packed with powerful dialogues. An enjoyable feast for all if they just want to watch for an entertainment purpose.

Shikkar, the hunt review

About the show
=============
Watched the awaited movie SHIKKAR (yesterday 7.30 show)from Narthaki Theatre, Kasaragdod
Balcony was full, FC was almost 90%
Few family presence was there(may be due to night show and I am sure this will increase in the coming days)

MOHANLAL
===========
Director knows what Mohanlal can do and what his audiences want
He mixed well all in an equilibrium
Action, sentiment are the factors emphasised in the movie
Oru Naran style appearance
Mohanlal had done 100% justice to the role(parayenda kaaryamalla)


STORY
=======
It revolves around Balaraman(mohanlal) and his past(cannot xplain much here)

OTHER ACTORS
===============
Ananya(as Mohanlal's daughter) and Samurakan(as Naxalite leader) acted well
Sneha had nothing to do except facing 2 songs
Kalabhavan Mani, Kailash and others were OK
Lal just appears in a song
Maithili was a waste character in the movie
Suraj and Jagathy were not bad, did some outdated comedies


SONGS
=======
Pradikadinchu is my fav.
Pinne ennodunnum parayaade is closer to the heart
I didn't like the other 2 songs
All are well picturised


+ves
=====

Climax

Suspense

Review of Oru Naal Varum

About the show
==============
Watched the movie from Narthaki theatre, kasaragod(7.30 show)
Show was houseful and there was the presence of enough family audience
Hope this will be in a large amount for other timings..


Cast
=====
The whole story revolves around Mohanlal and Sreeni
Both of them tried maximum to highlight their roles
Suraj, Sameera, Devayani and the Children were done a nice job
Other casts are not getting much importance..

Story
=======
Stroy revolves around a corrupted officer
Script is not made by considering any stars(may be a negative for few fans)
Many twists are included throughout the movie, so I cannot explain about it more
Anyhow, it fulfils what we expected from Sreenivasan
A variety,genre of Yes Your Honour


Positives
=========
Suspense before the interval and twist in the second half
Mohanlal's presence and performance
Importance to the main theme
Comedies were natural and not resembles the old movie clips
Dialogues were used at the right time like proverbs(not punching or emotional)
Songs are good and well picturised..will attract all the family audience if it plays frequently in the channels


Negatives
=========
Climax is not having the twist which was there throughout the movie
Songs were good, but not shown in the movie in the suitable instances
(Maavin chottile was at the beginning, Padaan ninakkoru was after the climax, other 2 songs were not includedd in the movie)


Rating
======
7/10
A descent Malayalam film, and promises the needs of a family audience

Twenty-20 Review

Twenty 20 movie review

MOHANLAL

===============

Most of the action scenes are handled by Mohanlal. Comparring to other actors, Mohanlal has a wide variety of scenes in the movie. At the biginning, Mohanlal is shown in the jail as a poor man(Devan). His expressions till the court scene are of a natural man. Then the real heroism starts............

The re-entrance scene can be made more brilliantly; i mean with more punching dialogues and more supporting members....But that will give more importance to Mohanlal than Mammootty[:D]Mohanlal does not have enough dialogues in the movie[:(]Then Mohanlal appears in some comedy scenes as well as in some feeling moments.............But in whole, Mohanlal is an action hero in the movie who is rich(not at all a don) and in search of peoples who had killed his brother

MAMMOOTTY

===============

As usual, Mammootty rocks with the glamour and the favorite role. As a lawyer, Mammootty has given maximum effort to make the role more energetic. Ramesh Nambiar is surely a highlighted role in the movie

SURESHGOPI

=============

Antony Punnakkadan is having the same character as in other Sureshgopi's hit police movies. The punching dialogues,paristhithi kaivittu povumbolulla expressions are touching much more. AND he shows that why he is most suitable for angry police role. But he will not get a change to make the scene powerful infront of Mohanlal and mammootty in the story

DILEEP

===========

Dileep is there only for about 20-25 minutes.............But those are most attractive part of the movie[:)]. The comedy scenes led by Dileep at Mohanlal's house and with Jayaram are really mindblowing

JAYARAM

============

Jayaram is a doctor(he was mohanlal's classmate) where Mohanlal sends dileep to study. Jayaram has role equal to dileep and done enough well

SONGS

========

Personally, I haven't liked all the 3 songs....

Sa re ga ma is the title song

Dileepinde Oh priye songinde locations nalladaayirunnu

Nayantharayude song...........Endammo.........vendaayirunnu

VILLIONS

=========

Siddhique is the son of justice Menon who is a politicianSureshgopi's father was send to jail by him. Manoj K jayan acts enough well. Shammi Thilakan is the third villion. Kalabhavan mani is not getting a role upto his mark. Bheeman raghu, Sphatikam george were not there in the movie

POLICEMEN

===========

Mukhesh is a police officer supporting Mohanlal. He got a good role and he had done it well. Maniyampilla Raju supports the Justice's family. Jagadeesh appears in some comedy scenes. Viju Menon is the traffic police officer which was too small role in the movie. Ayaalkoru nalla role kodukkaamaatirunnu. Sreenivasan appears in a small role; but it was a good one. Lalu Alex comes as a senior police officer

COMEDY ACTORS

=================

Salim Kumar(as a police searching victims in CID style)um siraj(mammootty's house watchman)um nannaayirunnu. Jagathy and Innocent have got the required role; but director not utilized them in the right way. Indrans is the watchman of justice's housemammookkoyakku comediyonnum undaayirunnilla. Harishree ashokan,Cochin haneefa okke ulla comedies are somewhat boring to an extent. The scenes are so poor that they can only be seen in some average films. Saikumar also handles comedy role in the movie[:D]s

YOUNGSTERS

================

They are not at all focused to an extent. Indrajith got somewhat good role. Prithwi,Jayasurya,manikuttan and Kunjakko appears only in the song with Nayanthara

ACTRESSES

=============

None of the actresses had an appreciable role in the movie.............Bhavana appears more on the screen. Then Kavya Madhavan appears as Mohanlal's sister. Pinne aarkum parayaavunnathra role illa...........

OTHERS

=============

Madhu is the retired justce(Viswanatha Menon). Vijaya raghavan is the son of Madhu. Kaviyoor Ponnamma as madhu's wife Janardhanan apprears at the start. I don't know why they haven't included KPAC Lalitha and Nedumudi Venu[:(]

SCRIPT

===========

It is not at all an easy task to make a script which will satisfy all the fans and the story simultaneously while taking a multi star movie. But that task is perfectly handled by uday-sibi team. The movie is not as their old movies. It will be a good script and memorable one in their carrier

DIRECTION

============

A good movie by Joshey after a long time. He is worked so hard to give equal importance to Mohanlal and Mammootty. Also he gave enough importance to Sureshgopi. The shots are taken scene by scene such that the audience will respond in the theatre. All the entrance scenes are well appreciable

SCENES

=============

(1) Mammootty's court scenes

(2)Mohanlal comming out of the court

(3)Mohanlal and Mammootty's fight in the flat and the continued action sequences near the gate(4)Scenes of Dileep with Jayaram

(5)Climax fight

About the show

===============

Watched the movie from Krishna theatre(theatre in kasaragod without balcony) at 7.30pm

The theatre was just 20% full and haven't watched any lal fans too[:(][:(]

Don't know why they put the movie in that crap thetre..........[:x]

2 legends

==========

As all know, UPO is the remake of A Wednesday.

But both actors put forwarded the role in theirown mannerism and style.

Surely, the roles are not challengive or best one in their carrier.......

But no one can find a single mistake from those legends..

Comparision with A Wednesday

===========================

Comparring Hindi and Tamil version, I like A Wednesday more..

Don't know why, may be cos I watched hindi first[:D]

====================

Film may not be a huge hit.

I would like to rate the movie 8/10

Sagar Alias Jacky Review..........

ABOUT THE SHOW
================
Watched Sagar Alias Jacky reloaded at Kasaragod Samrat theatre at 7.30 show(on 26th March)
The movie was there in 2 theatres, still show was houseful

MOHANLAL
==========
Mohanlal performs the role of Sagar alias Jacky. SAJ is the same role which he had done in Iruvadaam noottandu. But it is more stylish and rich when compared to the old version. Mohanlal acts nicely throughout the movie with his stylish looks. Introduction is as a police officer in Dubai. Interval scene was superb. Filmil muzhuvanum coatum pantum shoevum idunna Mohanalal intervalline shesham oru scenil mundum udukkunnundu

Review of Red Chillies

ABOUT THE SHOW
==================
I watched the movie RED CHILLIS in Kasaraod Samrat theatre for 7.30 show,
As usual, the show was houseful. Oru mohanlal-shaji kailas filmine ulla thirakku innum undaayirunnu

MOHANLAL
===========
Mohanlal rocked throughout the movie and I think it is the most stylish mohanlal movie............
He has a few scenes in the first half and he will be there in Singapore
II half revolves around him and his invesigations in kerala
Mohanlal handles the role of a business man OMR in Singapore and he is the sponser of red chillies for his radio 94.3 FM. He also appears as a lawyer in the movie

OTHER ACTORS
================
Thilakan as a communist leader mani and Viju Menon is his son (also police officer).
Siddique is a police officer and had done his part well enough
Maniyanpilla Raju comes as a supporting police officer of OMR.
He handles comedy scenes in this movie.
Villion is the one who acted as Kayamkulam Kocchunni in the serial of Surya TV
Jagadeesh is local party committee member and he will be there with Thilakan
