I went to watch this movie with some preconceived ideas of a typical malayalam film and this movie didn't disappoint me, even for a single scene! Much relieved at the end because the film was finally over, making me wonder the concept of movie making by some amateurs just to tarnish the image of excellent film makers who were courageous enough to take on any concept and make it into a saga of sight and sound. The new film makers think that showing scenes in slow motion will boost up the 'effect' and is a visual treat. So the movie starts with such a scene in rain and the hero enters the scene and as usual scores a fine goal( sorry for the spoiler!). Rain is a constant accompaniment to the extent it becomes a nuisance at times. The make up is horrible, especially the wig of the hero. They have tried to be attentive to certain details because the movie is set in 60s,but certain scenes tend to be repetitive and deliberate ( note the bus and newspaper).Showing religious symbols repeatedly as also bit outdated. Main reason why I didn't like was the main theme of the film. All this divine love is so outdated and this movie should have been made 50 years back! The rescue scene at the end is also badly done. The problem with malayalam movie scene is probably lack of exposure to good foreign language movies. The directors and actors should sometimes watch these classic movies and TV series and absorb the excellent techniques of cinematography,acting and movie direction. Thank god there is cable TV,so that I don't have to watch these stupid malayalam movies.
