Flash Movie Review
It is not a matter of debate to acknowledge that it was the team of Mohanlal, and Sibi Malayil who created the best of the plots and films in Malayalam in the last decade. Films like Kireedom, Sadhayam, Chenkol, Maayamayooram, Dhanam , Bharatham, Kamaladalam, His Highness Abdulla and Dasaratham - all by the duo are rated as the best that was witnessed in the nineties. They did the last film together way back in 2000 title 'Devadhoodhan' which met with dismal results in the box office. Now after seven years, the duo are coming together to create another great work in the new film ‘Flash’.
Flash scripted by journalist S Bhasurachandran is tipped as a psychological suspense thriller. In the film Mohanlal is Mithun Madhavan, a Mumbai based Information technology industrialist. Priyan, a software engineer, is the favorite staff of Mithun Madhavan, who is in love with his uncle's daughter Dhwani.
Dhwani, on the other hand, born and brought up in Chennai, is a stubborn girl who won’t care for anything. She knows little about the culture, traditions and even her relatives in Kerala. She being the sole heir of Kalarithodi Tharavaadu, is brought to her ancestral home, when her mother dies of cancer. Her grandfather, who is only person left in the Tharavadu, cares very much for her and asks her to be with him in Kerala for the time being. After some problems in her life, that is becoming grave day after day, It is at this juncture that Mithun comes into her life, on a vacation visit to Kerala. He was introduced to Dhwani by his sister who is a close friend of her, following which everything changes in both of their lives.
Flash have Mohanlal as Mithun Madhavan while notebook fame Parvathy is Dhwany. Jagathy Sreekumar plays a major role in the film as Mithun's close friend called Idea Sasi, because he is all the time coming up with ideas, all of which are impractical. Tamil actor Ponvannan also plays a meaty role in the film. The others in the cast include Shamna Kasim, Siddhique, Indrajith, Saikumar, Sureshkrisna and Suraj Venjaaramodu.
The film, which was shot at Kannoor, Kanjangad, Kozhikode and Changanacherry is slated for release by Mulakupadom Films on December 20, 2007 as a Christmas release.
NoteBookb
Director Rosshan Andrrews represents Kerala’s new generation of film directors who have vision, passion and commitment but not necessarily a good understanding for story or screenplay excellence.
Four decades ago, the Malayalam film industry had been the envy of nearly every Indian film maker. It boasted of veteran directors who ruled cinema because of their excellent screenplay techniques and the ability to tell stories that were different yet rooted to reality. Those who believe that directors such as Priyadarshan represent Malayalam cinema on a broader platform in Bollywood are ignorant because his movies are not a patch on the superlative quality of films that veteran film makers of Malayalam are truly famed for.
Today’s Malayali directors are young and aspire for quick fame. Their techniques are more focused on infusing their movie with young dialogues, peppy music and great cinematography. The technique of story telling has been affected badly in the process.
Even then, the screenplay rights of most Malayalam movies are bought at staggering sky-high prices by the Tamil industry and now, Bollywood. Some of Bollywood’s poor adaptations of Malayalam movies include Gardish, Baghban, Hera Pheri, Hungama, Hulchal, Garam Masala, Bhool Bhulaiya, Dhamaal, Chandni Chowk to China, and Billu Barber. I use the term ‘poor’ because the movies had senseless screenplays when translated to Hindi while in Malayalam the context, the dialogues and even the themes were justifiable and justly portrayed by veteran film makers.
A Malayalam movie that I recently watched is “Notebook” which was directed by Rosshan Andrrews. Thankfully, the rights of this movie haven’t been grabbed up. With excellent music, cinematography, editing and fine camera techniques, this movie is interesting though it doesn’t do much on an emotional scale due to its excessive modernity.
The movie depicts a beautiful journey into the intimate friendship between three high school girls who stay in hostel and become as closer than siblings. One of the girls ends up pregnant and the two girls cover up for her to the extent that they force her to abort and finally, the girl dies.
When she dies, the two friends hide her death till the police grill them and one of the girls (played by actress Roma) breaks and conveys the truth.
The second friend denies having any involvement in the abortion. The boy who was involved with the deceased girl doesn’t even hear about her death till much later. When he does, he is filled with pangs of guilt and longs to do something to make amends though he knows it is too late.
The betrayal of friendship and the subsequent estrangement between the girls throws them into separate lives and separate ways of dealing with the loss of their friend. Everything is questioned in the screenplay and tosses out some truly important questions for parents, teachers and all of us to ponder about:
* What is friendship really? Is it a whim, commitment or responsibility?
* What forces young girls into making choices like abortion? Is it broken homes, wealthy lifestyle, lack of morals or a desperate choice fearing the hypocrisy of Indian society?
* Who has a right to pass judgment over choices that young people make – those who give birth to them yet have no time or inclination to be with them, those who call themselves ‘teachers’ and can’t see beyond the syllabus or curriculum or those who are their best friends?
* What role do parents or teachers really exercise when it comes to the ‘morality’ of their children/wards? Can they make a positive difference?
Ultimately, it is broken homes, rich families and lots of money which bring these children together to live in a top residential Convent school, where money power, management power and vested interests are more important than a student’s talents or aspirations.
