BEST 5 MALAYALAM MOVIES OF 2013

More than 150 movie released in the year 2013. The selection of best 5 was very easy this time. Most of the movie were mediocre and below average but the best 5 movie were awesome.  The list is not in any particular order.

DRISHYAM It is the top grosser and highly appreciated family thriller of the year 2013. Jeethu Joseph’s magical story and direction with Mohanlal’s top class performance. Don’t miss this movie!!!

PHILLIPS AND THE MONKEY PEN A rare genre in Malayalam cinema nowadays, yes movie based on kids. Perfectly directed by debutants Rojin ans Shanil. Superb acting by lead cast(talented kids) , supported by nice camera work and music. Easily one the best in recent time.

MEMORIES is a suspense thriller  again by Jeethu Joseph, one of the best performance by Pritviraj. It makes you guess till the end. An edge of seat thriller.

SHUTTER is the directorial debue by Joy Mathew. One of the best thriller in recent times. Awesome performances from leading cast. Never miss this!!!

MUMBAI POLICE Rossan Andrews again back in track after his unsuccessfull Casanova. Shocking thriller and theme very much new to Malayalam audience. A brave effort from Pritviraj. Writer duo Bobby Sanjay Proves again they are the best among new age writers.

I strongly recommend all the best 5 movies to all. Don’t ever miss.

DRISHYAM (2013) MALAYALAM MOVIE REVIEW

FAMILY THRILLER!!!

PRODUCER: ANTONY PERUMBAVOOR

DIRECTOR: JEETHU JOSEPH

STAR CAST: MOHANLAL, MEENA, SHAJON, SIDDIQUE, ASHA SHARATH

MUSIC: ANIL JOHNSON, VINU THOMAS

Drishyam is Director Jeethu Joseph’s fourth venture after hugely successful memories with Pritviraj. His debut as director was the investigation thriller Detective which had interesting plot but execution was not up to the mark. But he improved drastically after each film and Drishyam can be considered as his best till date. His three films are thrillers and he delivers best in this genre. After Memories now he is considered one of leading and very promising among new comers.

Drishyam gives much needed relief to Mohanlal too. After not so success in last few movies he delivers best performance with help of good script and dialogues. The movie did not had any big hype which usually comes with the Mohanlal and the trailers did not reveal story plot, which really helped the film. Family thriller is a genre which is very rare and gives completely fresh feeling for a Malayalam audience.

First half of the movie takes its time to develop characters and the plot for the second half. It had some genuine comic scenes and link for the second half. After interval movie takes turn and becomes thriller and there many situations will amaze you. And you keep guessing the plot and unveiling of the story thrills you to the core.

Hats of to writer and director Jeethu Joseph, his hard work can be seen throughout the movie. He had good support from camera department handled by Sujith and nice apt background score by Anil Johnson. As usual Mohanlal delivers solid performance along with Meena. Shajon shocks us with his carrer best role. Others did their part well. The only negative part of the movie was casting of some minor characters, otherwise it is a near to perfect thriller.
