Saw three Malayalam movies over the weekend:
Ividam Swargam Aaanu
The Mohanlal starrer was slow to pick up its pace. Directed by Roshan Andrews, the movie is about a farmer's fight against the land mafia.
Innocent, Thilakan, Srinivasan, Jagathy and all the usual stars were there.
With three heroines, Laksmi Gopalaswamy (bank manager), Priyanka (TV reporter) and Lakshmi Rai (lawyer), Lalettan has a tough choice to make.
Lalu Alex as the scheming land-grabber - Aluva Chandy does a splendid job.
The last thirty minutes remind one of Khosla ka Ghosla.
Good movie to be enjoyed with the whole family.
Nayakan
No not the Kamal starrer. This movie surprisingly went unnoticed. Stylishly shot with an awesome performance by Indrajith and Thilakan, this is a revenge saga with a difference.
Indrajith is a Kathakali dancer. Thilakan plays Vincent Karanavar, an old don kind of person, a protector of a small community of people living in an old part of Kochi.
Indrajith's father and sister are killed by Siddique a magician who became a rich political kingmaker. He is beaten by Siddique's goons and left to die.
Thilakan rescues him and plans a revenge saga.
The movie unfolds at a quick pace and some great shots of Malaysia and a twist in the climax increase the suspense.
Kerala Cafe
This collection of ten short movies produced by Ranjit uniting ten of the most popular directors in Malayalam cinema is a great effort.
This movie will be reviewed in a separate post.
