Left Right Left - Bold, Class, Mesmerising !

Right from its release, this movie has been in top list with its all over wide spread reviews. Hence, my expectation was high. Needless to say, I was lucky enough to experience that challenging goons bump ! It's always a ball game for you when you watch high rated movies after long days of its release. You would have already carried away by huge expectations from movie lovers, friends, social networking comments and genuine reviews. To meet that expectation, a movie has to take challenging stand, and Left Right Left becomes a perfect example for this.

As I mentioned, boldness to portray political canvas of Kerala is the courage taken by Murali Gopy and Arun Kumar Aravind. Fire cracking script with absolute resemblance of real life characters especially if you are dealing something sensational. Murali Gopy has taken his talent to another level. Malayalam movie era is witnessing classy writers and line up is still moving better with people like him. Pretty obvious that he would have done intense research behind the script, else it could not have been better like this. As an actor, there is not doubt about his ancestral talent. Arun Kumar Aranvind proved he is the leader of this art form. Alike his mentor, he has created his space with meaningful and sensible movies. Right from cocktail, EAK till LFL expectations from him is extending. Entire movie was very well crafted without any glimpse of baseless scenes. Indrajith, another brilliant performance from this talented actor. He has chosen his ways to lead. He will soon reach in list of talented actors across our country. Credit list goes on with Hareesh Peradi, Lena, Vijayaraghavan, Sreejith Ravi etc .. Music, Camera, BG, Editing – No ways to prove any single element was missing from this movie.

Absolute example of bold and classy movie !

Mumbai Police - A Big Salute to Crew

Conventional thriller with an unusual climax is all about Mumbai Police. This film was in hot plate well before its release due to the writer-director combo in Malayalam film industry along with Prithiviraj’s stardom being a bonus platter.

After a ruinous flop Casanova, Roshan Andrew was expected to make an upswing with his convincing craftsmanship which did not mislaid on his next attempt.  The script demanded less pace, mild tone yet, nail biting moments.  Indeed, it was a challenge for him especially the talent needs to be proven on crisis which was finally turned out to be a successful triumph. Nevertheless, there were few Casanova shades of uncanny scenes where the ACP chased the burglar in a bicycle which could have been avoided.  This can be considered as a trifling hangover from his previous venture.  Bobby-Sanjay duo is still enduring their success journey with this film even after ten years of their debutant script. This was one of their brilliant scripts completely written keeping an eye on viewer’s judgement in a suspense thriller. The expected loop holes were completely bolted with nifty screenplay and they chose the courage to discuss a debatable, relevant & prominent subject as one of the climax ingredients. Both Roshan Andrews & Bobby-Sanjay duo have put themselves into a big trouble hyping the expectations of their next project to be a better one that this.

Acting domain of the movie was completely ruled by Prithviraj with his dashing yet, hard hash appearance. The body language of forbidding police officer was well suited for him, if not him, nobody else from Malayalam industry now. He was very careful for not having any shades from his previous flick ‘Police’ even though both the characters falls under same outlook. He again proved his talent is way above all imprudent criticisms. There were lots of noises made for his bold attempt in accepting this character, but someone should think the other way around too. He is a brilliant, intelligent actor who always seeks variation in types of roles he is doing and ACP Antony Moses was a perfect option for him to showcase his brilliance in accepting the ranges thereby self-stamping him as one of the finest actors in India, very especially he is now with his Bollywood journey. Rahaman, Jayasurya & others have delivered as expected as they should be.

Score for background score was cent percent for Gopi sundar for blending the western-classy notes for investigation suspense thriller.  Same for Mahesh Narayan for his cut works particularly in the chase sequence.

Further analysis can certainly be spoiler alerts & that itself is the challenge taken by entire crew, not to leave any hints till the surprise at climax.

Hotel California - A vacation Fun Halt

This hotel serves variety dishes blended with comedy, drama, action & bit of suspense.

The movie in one word to me is an ultimate sarcasm for each & every impulsive life we see around us. It's completely free of all prejudices & mocks everything equally. Be it in our politics, society, religion, irrational human minds & even terrorism, all have been treated equally well with hilarious black comedy .

Penned by Anoop Menon after Trivandrum Lodge is one of the biggest assets which kept the momentum going from the very first opening scene till the end titles. Writer plots something for the first time to even mock himself which was applauded highly for the way he had taken criticisms in a good spirit for his earlier flick Trivandrun Lodge. Script, treatment & BG stands first class for it's complete drive throughout the movie.

It has got a very big surprise package of Joju George as Commissioner & Shankar as Aby Mathew.

Aji John, Anoop Menon, Jayasurya & the entire crew... Three Cheers !!
