Its time for a sneak peek into the Mallu movies released over the past year. The year has been quite good for a movie buff looking for fresh and bold themes with the audience being offered a wide variety of reasonable good fares.
Surprises of the Year:
HoneyBee - Asif Ali and Bhavana are the sure shot recipe combo for a disaster movie. Add Lal Sr to it and its expected to get even worse. But Lal Jr inspite of having all the above dangerous ingredients cooks out a delicious entertainer that was well worth your time!!
Philips and the Monkey Pen - A movie which came in with no hype but turned out to be one of the best feel-good movies of the year which turned out to be a hit by the sheer virtue of mouth publicity!!!!
Ann Augustine - Probably one of the worst actresses you would have ever seen on screen, Ann Augustine does a reverse by portraying the challenging role in 'Artist' with tremendous maturity without going overboard and making you feel so deeply for the helpless character of the GF of a crazy Artist :)
Top Movies of the year:
1. Left Right Left - One of the most hard hitting and realistic movies of all times with the strongest characters ever created on screen to go along with the amazing performances on screen....
2. Dhrishyam - One of the best made thriller movies of all times with a terrific second half that hardly lets you breath!!!!
3. Philips and the Monkey Pen - The surprise hit of the year with a simple story which is shot superbly and has some terrific performances from the child artistes and seniors alike...
4. Amen - One of the most loved and differently shot films of the year. Surely the first of its kind for the Malayalam movie industry
5. Mumbai Police - Roshan Andrews,Prithviraj and Bobby-Sanjai deserve credit for coming out trumps with this tremendously gutsy movie.
Performances of the year:
Prithviraj - Undoubtedly the best performer of the year with his amazing choice of roles. He won all the accolades for 'Celluloid', played the most gutsy role ever written for a hero in our industry superbly in 'Mumbai Poice' and played the role of a drunk cop haunted by his past to absolute perfection in 'Memories'.
Fahad Fazil - Had a tremendous second half playing the blind 'Artist' to perfection, the 'OCD' guy superbly and excelling above the mediocre script to be the star of the show in 'Indian Pranaya Kadha'
Indrajith - The stand out performer among the exceptional performers in 'Left Right Left' ... Couldn't think of anyone else who would have played this eccentric character to absolute perfection !
Lucky Tom of the year:
Who else other than Dileep when he makes 'Sringaravelan', the movie any normal movie buff couldn't tolerate for more than ten min , a box office hit and 'Nadodi Mannan', which even puts some B Class tamil movie to shame, an average grosser !!!!
'Need A Ban ' Award of the year:
Who else other than the multi mega star of our Industry who dishes out flops one after the other and is fast setting new benchmarks/records for the longest survival rate in the industry without a hit !!!!
'Ultimate Horror' Award of the year:
Though 'Silence' and 'Ladies and Gentlemen' gives it some good competition, 'Lokpal' is way ahead of the competition winning this award hands down courtesy of some real poor direction, a pathetic script, an uninterested hero and some of the worst make-overs you could ever associate with a character!!!!
Disappointment of the year:
One of the most hyped and awaited movies of the year turned out to be the one which actually requires a study class to understand what the director tried to convey on screen. Its none other than 'Kadal Kadannoru Mathukutty' !!
Special Mentions of the year:
5 Sundarikal - Though we have seen the concept before via Kerala Café, 5 Sundarikal was equally brilliant with Amel Neerad & Dulqar leading the pack with a superb 'Kullante Bhaarya' with Anwar Rasheed & Fahad giving it tough completion via an excellently shot ' Ami'
Idukki Gold - Making a movie with the heroes of 80's is a tough thing in the present times. But with Ashiq Abu at the helm we expected something good out of the movie and he doesn't disappoint us with this good time pass entertainer that is well worth your time !!!!
