2012 has so far been an excellent year for movie goers and movie makers alike.This year has witnessed a great change in the mindset of the movie watching public. People have flocked to theaters and are willing to watch and accept different subjects and this has provided a great impetus to filmmakers to try out a wide variety of subjects and unexplored territories.Lets hope that the rest of the year continues in the same vein and the film makers dish out better and satisfying products...
At this juncture I thought I would pick out the best and worst of the lot in different categories...
Major Movie Disappointment of the mid-yr : Though we've had 'Hero','King and Commisioner','Asuravithu' etc, the unanimous choice for this award would be 'Cassanova'... It turned out to be a big disappointing exercise which was long in the making and had one of the illogical and silly storyline one can associate with a Mohanlal movie...
Miss of the mid-yr: 'Masters' - Though it had a very disappointing climax and a poor choice of casting in the form of Sasikumar, Masters had a one of the best developed thriller scripts for a Mallu movie told at a decent pace without having any unnecessary comedy/cliches or deviations from the main plot...
Lucky Tom of the mid-yr: Mayamohini - Though no one had anything good to say about the movie,Mayamohini rang in impressive collections turning out to be one of the highest grossing movies of all times...
Bold Attempt of the mid-yr: 22FK... Though insipred from many movies, credit goes to Ashiq Abu for acknowledging the same and trying out an unexplored story in Malayalam...
Debuts of the mid-yr: Dulqar Salman and Sunny Wayne for their amazing display in 'Second Show'... It was truly a memorable debut guys...
Mr.Guts of the mid-yr: Amal Neerad for attempting something risky and unexplored in the form of Bachelor Party with cash from his own kitty!!!
Attrocious Performance of the mid-yr: Though Ann Augustine came close with her performance in 'Ordinary',Asif Ali wins it hands down with his performance in the same movie and for taking it up to the next level in 'Asuravithu'...
Surprise of the mid-yr: Ordinary - Though the movie has an excellent first half to boast of, most haven't still not figured out how it became the second biggest hit of the year after Mayamohini..
Disappointing Star of the mid-yr- Prithviraj for doing 'Hero' and getting ready to torture us with 'Simhasanam'.. Wish Prithvi, the man touting the most for fresh and new subjects without superstar elements, had applied a lil common sense before committing to such hopeless ventures...
Deserving Deaths of the mid-yr - Shared by 'Cobra','Hero','King and Commisioner' and 'Cassanova' for being trashed without mercy by the public...
Top 5 Movies of the mid-year:
1. Ee Adutha Kaalathu : A wonderful jigsaw puzzle script with terrific performances from Indrajith,Muraly Gopi,Tanushree,Baiju & Nishaan
2. Ustad Hotel: Different,'coming of age' and an inspirational 'feel-good' movie
3. Thattathin Marayathu : True to the maker's claim it is a purely entertaining movie with nothing special to boast of in the story department
4. Diamond Necklace :A well crafted,pretty well picturized and neatly presented movie with great performances from the entire cast
5. Second Show: One of the most entertaining and differently presented movies of recent times aided by an excellent BGM,a compelling story/screenplay and a superb climax
Performances of the mid-yr:
1. Mohanlal for being in full form,looking interested,giving his heart out and carrying the film on his own in 'Spirit'
2. Indrajith for his natural and outstanding show in Ee Adutha Kaalathu
3. Fahad Fazil for his display in 22FK & Diamond Necklace
4. Rima Kallingal for her impressive displays in 22FK&Nidra
Song miss of the mid-yr: 'Swapnam Pankidam' from Second Show... This song went unnoticed inspite of the great tune and superb singing from Jakes Bijoy
Trendsetter song of the mid-yr: 'Appangal' from 'Ustad Hotel' is surely a sensation for the public by all means...
Most talked about and loved 'small' film of the mid-yr: 'Manjaadikuru'
