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.

MUMBAI POLICE (2013) MALAYALAM MOVIE REVIEW

"BOLD AND DIFFERENT"

Roshan Andrews is one of promising director among the new age Malayalam cinema, already proved his mettle by making some diverse outstanding movies (Note book, Udayananu tharam, Ividom swargamanu). When he joined hands with script writer duo bobby and sanjay expectations were sky high. This time this team chosen a thriller theme told in a different narration pattern which is not so common in Malayalam cinema, but world cinema lovers may be well versed with this kind of story telling. The story also takes inspiration from various movies. Still the movie impresses the audience for its perfect movie making style. This time they adopted Hollywood style of story telling without much description in the scenes leaving the audience to interpret the scene.

The star cast delivers solid performances be it the lead cast Pritviraj or the supporting actors like Jayasurya and Rahman. Pritvi delivers his vcarrer best performance in style, after many mistakes in choosing the right script in his career. All other actors did their part well. The newcomers were average.

The camera and art dept. did their job perfectly, the BGM by gopi sunder were apt and haunting. The absence of songs were biggest plus point since movie has a slow and steady kinda pace. Duration of movie was just above 2 hrs. 

The biggest shocker was the climax,we can say it was very bold decision taken by director , script writers and lead actors,  it may not be well accepted among family audiences. The movies box office fate is depends on the climax part. It may not be suitable to watch it with family and children. But movie defenatly will impress the general audience. The movie deserve a one time watch for sure.

Verdict : Decent one time watch
