MUSIC: DEEPAK DEV

Malayalam cinema is in cross roads since last few years, old generation film makers not meeting their expectation when compared to their earlier hits and new generation movie makers churning out technically brilliant movies but no or little content. This is one of the movies which can be tagged as A New Gen Movie.

There is hardly any story here, and no innovations in the screen play. A single line story simply dragged for hours. To add little spice in to proceedings Cochin slang and some distasteful adult jokes and poor jokes stuffed in. very few counters worked while other joke failed miserably. Drinking and drugs promoted wherever possible, in the name of entertainment.

Performance wise everybody did their part well. Newcomers require little improvement. The only good thing is the camera work and back ground score. Direction, script writing needs lots of betterment.

Old or new generation movie clicks only if it has good content which backed by good performance along with good technical support. Cashing in by adult and cheap jokes along with some drinking and drug abusing stuff won’t stay for long.

RED WINE (2013) MALAYALAM MOVIE REVIEW

NOT SO TASTY ONE !!!

Director:SALAM BAPPU

Producer: GIREESH LAL

Star Cast: MOHANLAL, FAHAD FASIL, ASIF ALI, SAIJU KURUP, MIA GEORGE, ANUSREE

Music:BIJIBAL

Red wine suppose to be a suspense thriller, generated curiosity among movie lovers since it also had Mohanlal in the lead cast. But mohanlal’s role limited to a extended cameo as investigating officer.

Movie revolves around a murder of young wanna be politician who is also a drama artist. Here the murderer is known to viewer in the beginning itself but the motive and the conspirators of the murder revealed in the climax.

A simple story told in a non linear pattern with help of the flashback was a good attempt. For those who watch Hollywood thrillers it may not be a new thing. Still movie is watchable without any boredom.

The camera work was outstanding, and back ground score and songs by bijibal was the back bone of the movie, direction was good and needed improvement in the scripting.

The surprise element was missing which was the USP of suspense thrillers. Fahad and Asif ali did their part well. And as usual Mohanlal’s presence was a big plus for the movie.
