MovieReview



Choclates



I believe in making films that entertain, that suits the festival mood in the fullest sense. I have been trying to make the best of the packaging with all those ingredients that are needed to make my films full-fledged entertainers - songs, dances, humor, sentiments, a bit of action, and drama. That is exactly my recipe for successes’, director Shafi said in an interview a couple of months back.


Living by his words for the nth time, he again delivers another super hit that strictly entertains. His Ramzan flick 'Chocolate' is not a subtle film - It has only a thin line thread, and the script takes many too-predictable turns. Yet despite the lack of surprises, ‘Chocolate’ is indeed a hilarious comedy riot that knocks you over the head with its well directed sequences. With its target audience marked out in precise strokes, the film very well caters to their tastes and appeals without doubt.

The plot of Chocolate is set in the background of St Mary’s women’s college, where the P T A is reluctant to go back to days of co education. Every parents in the college have their share of anxiousness on how their wards will behave if their appear male students, in the premises. The Principal Alina John (Shari), a broad minded teacher tries her ways to support the majority of students who likes to have their studies in the company of male counterparts.


Prithviraj is Shyam Balagopal in the film, a tough all-rounder who has been shown the door from a couple of colleges before as he is well versed in everything other than studying and keeping discipline. He is a guy who has faced 9 suspensions in his academic career and 7 police cases. Since their is a clause in university bylaws which permits a male student to secure admissions in the PG's of women colleges, Vanaja, (Vanitha) the mother of Shyam and a lecturer in the college makes a special request to admit his son for a PG course. She surmise that under her direct custodianship and with 3000 odd female students in the campus, Shyam will not engage in more causalities and fisticuffs that he had regularly been to in other colleges. She also thereby, wants him to learn to respect women and view them as intelligent beings.

Shyam is at first reluctant to take admissions, but when forced by his friends and advisers like the middle aged Pappan ( Salim Kumar) and Fashion designer Ranjith (Jaya Surya) about its prospects, he sets his foot into the women' paradise, with the idea to secure an dismissal at the earliest. Although Shyam is quite happy about the state of affairs and overnight celebrity status, he soon finds out his dreams can take a bitter turn as a group of tomboyish students headed by Anna (Roma), Nandana (Samvrutha) and Susan (Ramya), is hell bound to create his life miserable from the day one, even when he is introduced at a meeting .


But Shyam is also politically incorrect as they come. He insults the gang, tells offensive chauvinistic jokes, and generally goes out of his way to offend their leader Anna. In order to survive, he schemes to outshine and outwit Anna, hoping to make her inferior. It’s a usual war that ends in love as always, but things change for the carefree hunk when he falls in love with the more intelligent Anna. As is the case with most first loves, nothing between the two comes easy. And for the ecstasy that comes with a first love, there's bound to be large doses of agony. The film captures those moments of happiness and regret without applying a jaundiced eye with a certain degree of sweetness and charm about it .The highlights of the film is that the female is not treated in traditional misogynistic terms where the usual female lover confess before the h


Shakespeare MA Malayalam
Shakespeare MA Malayalam appears maddeningly disjointed on occasions, but remarkably amusing at others. Its a mixed bag of emotions at play here that will have you hooked most of the time, and you have a delightful comedy that's brought to life by a fine cast and a creative director duo at its helm.


Shakespeare Pavithran (Jayasurya) is an Award winning playwright battling the writer's block. Off he goes to the rustic locales in search of a story, accompanied by a lunatic gang of actors dying to take the stage by storm. Pavithran gets all set with his pen, and along comes Alli (Roma), the village lass with a truck load of troubles and more in store. As Alli puts up a royal fight against the odds, Pavithran the onlooker, waits anxiously on his toes for the denoument of his new play.

The film never binds itself into a perfect whole; rather its a whole lot of comic instances thrown together into a slightly different mould. Its a chaotic style of movie making, that's enjoyable nevertheless, and resolutions are showered on you non-stop. It never takes itself that serious and doesn't for a moment demand that you do so either. There is real ambition here as well as a real shoddy brilliance, as ironic as it may sound.


You just cannot miss those obvious references to names that you have heard before. And it's all in jest ofcourse. So along with Shakespeare Pavithran, you have a Nayanthara, a Thoothukkudi Thulasidas, a Madhumohanan, a Junior ONV, Unni Mary and a host of others in reference and in character. Perhaps its a new trend in personal parody, but surprisingly, it does work most of the time.

Barring an odd instance, most of the humor in the film is interwoven into the narrative. At times, it does get a bit crass, but all can be forgiven in the merry ambience that the film manages to whip up. This is a film that takes a good half an hour to bring its hero out of cover, and yet manages to keep you fairly engaged. Its indeed true that there's a party going on here; and its a fun collective. Hence the lead pair of Jayasurya and Roma does pretty good, to be fair to them, and yet they are never the focal point. Which is charming really, since you are spared the trouble of having to gape at yet another romantic tale with indifference.

Almost everyone from the incredible Jagathy Sreekumar to the indispensable Suraj Venjaramoodu are at their best here. I did have a few wonderful laughs, courtesy Salim Kumar who has pencilled that hilarious role of an actor craving for a warm embrace from his female leads, to perfection. Anoop Chandran is another equally efficient artiste who has been continually coming up with proficient performances. As the School of Drama product awed by the perplexities of life, Anoop is a true delight to watch.


It should be admitted that the movie has an absolutely irreverant air to it, that makes it quite street smart. You have it, and have it on your face, right there and no apologies. Almost everyone around seems to be having a blast, and its amazing that somewhere within this chaotic scenario a sense of order is finally reached. As it is, it has a few real people, a few funny scenes and a few real insights, which is infinitely more than we could bargain for these days.



'Minnaminikootam': A sheer waste of time

Producer: Raakhi Ram
Director: Kamal
Cast: Narain, Indrajith, Jayasurya, Anoopchandran, Meera Jasmine, Roma, Samvrutha and Radhika
Music: Bijibal


'Minnaminikootam', about the stressful lives of IT professionals, disappoints.

It is difficult to understand how Kamal, a top ranking director of Malayalam film industry with 32 movies under his belt, could come up with such a dud that has obvious similarities with an earlier Tamil movie 'Ullam Ketkume'.

Jasmine plays a Singapore-based IT professional who tries to have a reunion of sorts with eight pals during a friend's wedding that includes the male lead played by Narain.

The absence of screen chemistry between Jasmine-Narain, missing storyline and seven loud songs by Bijbal force the audience to rush to the exit.

The director has loaded the film with a lot of oomph by showing glossy, skimpily clad females to keep a possible full front bench of catcalling voyeurs happy. Sadly, it fails to even entertain them.

Jasmine looks good in songs sequences filmed in pleasing frames, but it is too little to generate interest.

The rest of the cast look insipid, jaded and wasted.

Director: Raj Babu

Producer: M. Mani

Lyrics: Gireesh Puthencherry

Cinematography: Saloo George

Editing: P.C. Mohanan

Art Direction: Sreeni

Screenplay& Story Writer: V.C. Ashok


Director Rajbabu’s latest offering Colours, in which he teams up with Dileep once again after Chess, is far from being colourful. If screenplay is the backbone of a movie, here’s a film without a backbone. V.C. Ashok’s script is largely responsible for turning the film into an insufferable bore. Though the film has a stale storyline, it could still have been made into an enjoyable film, had the script been better and had the director been much more careful.

The story of Colours is based in Coonnoor, where Lt. Col. Dr.Rajalakshmi lives with her family. The story begins from where she gets the news that someone has been released from jail. And the trip to bring that someone home gives her time to take a trip down memory lane, and we are told of things that took place a year ago.

Rajalakshmi lives in Coonnoor along with her two daughters Pinki and Pooja and her father-in-law, Pushkaran Pillai. Pinki, who is a kind of tomboy, goes around with a group of guys and is most of the time engaged in shooting for her television show Colours. Her constant companion is Rahul, who wields the camera for the television show. Though Rajalakshmi doesn’t approve much of what she does, Pinki couldn’t care less, and even calls her mother Pattalam Rajalakshmi (Pattalam meaning army in Malayalam). However, she does love her mother and stands by her whenever needed.

Pooja, on the other hand, is the typical coy girl, and her mother’s pet. She’s a teacher and is in love with a guy, with all support from Pinki. The two siblings share a very intimate bonding. In the meantime Rajalakshmi detects a fraud that has been going on in her hospital regarding the sales of medicines, and she is intent on bringing the culprits to book. This earns her some enemies.

Lt. Commander Sanjaynath turns up at this juncture. He is a close family friend and is on transfer to Coonnoor. On the very day of his arrival, he locks horns with Pinki, who had been his childhood friend. From here develops the plot (?).

Roma as Pinki could be called the main player in the movie. She is good at some places and terribly bad at others. It’s time she stopped repeating herself doing similar kind of roles. Bhama as Pooja stands where she was when she was introduced in Nivedhyam. She hasn’t grown as an actress and in Colours she has nothing much to do. Sharanya as Rajalakshmi is OK. Dileep, who makes his entry just before the interval as Sanjaynath, also has little to do and even seems rather uncomfortable with the role.

Vinu Mohan’s case is the same as Bhama’s, stagnating exactly where he was introduced in Nivedhyam, refusing to grow as an actor. Innocent as grandfather Pushkaran Pillai is his usual self. Harishree Ashokan and Cochin Haneefa have nothing else to do than run, run and run, and in Colours they are what they have been in umpteen numbers of films. Indrans, though he too is typecast, provides some fun.

Technical aspects are all just average. So too are the songs. The persons who would be responsible if the film bombs at the box-office, which for sure it will, are the scenarist and the director. The subject they chose has nothing new to offer and the way they have worked on it lacks freshness. Had they worked out a taut screenplay and executed the scenes better, Colours could still have made a match of it. But as it is, the film has gone all wrong.
