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.

BEST 5 MALAYALAM MOVIES OF 2010

90 odd movies released in 2010, and the year turning out to be very disappointing. Actually there are no must watch kind of release. Very few movies can be considered as one time watch apart from these listed 5.

COCKTAIL : Remake of butterfly on a wheel and yes very well adapted and executed movie. Best performance from lead cast jayasurya and anoop menon. Gripping and edge of seat thriller.

PRANCHIYETTAN AND THE SAINT: Renjith with mammooty and simple story told in very interesting manner. Hilarious performance from Innocent and Jagathy Sreekumar.

MUMMY AND ME: Jeethu Joseph’s family drama which had Urvashi in lead role along with Archana kavi. Simple story told with comedy and sentiments.

ELSAMMA ENNA ANKUTTY: Lal jose’s one of the best. Ann Augustine in title role and Kunjako in his best form. Total entertainer.

BEST ACTOR: a story about the dreams of a school teacher to become a movie actor and his experiences persuing it. A very well executed drama. Mammooty’s top performances along with Nedumudi venu, Lal and Salim kumar.

The hyped star studded movies like 

DRONA 2010, 

THANTHONI, 

INGHOST HOUSE INN, 

PRAMANI, 

PAPI APPACHA,

SHIKKAR were above average.

                                              ENJOY!!!

KADAL KADANNU ORU MATHUKUTTY (2013) MALAYALAM MOVIE REVIEW

AVERAGE STUFF FROM RENJITH!!!

PRODUCER: SHAJI, SANTHOSH SHIVAN, PRITVIRAJ

DIRECTOR: RENJITH

STAR CAST: MAMMOOTY, BALACHANRA MENON, NEDUMUDI VENU, SIDDIQUE

MUSIC: SHAHABAS AMAN, THEJ MERVIN

Kadal kadannu oru mathukutty  is a Malayalam comedy drama movie directed by Renjith, which had Mammooty in title role. Renjith delivered some good cinema like Indian Rupee and Spirit just before this. And people accepted well his ventuire with mammoty in Pranchyettan and the saint. Expectation were high. The movie deals with a very simple story of a NRI called Mathukutty who lives in Germany and his life and how it changes after coming to India for a task. 

This a typical Renjith movie where comedy and satire is blended well. But there is nothing much in the story and Mammoty did not had much to perform though he was good in that henpecked role. Movie moves with snail pace. There were some genuine comical scenes. But altogether the movie falls flat when compared Renjith’s earlier flicks. 

Among performances everyone did their part well. There were many cameo appearances by Mohanlal, Dileep, Jayaraam etc.. This really did not make any impact, seems just added to attract the audiences.

Cinematography by Madhu Neelakandan was good. Visuals of the Germany was very good.Music was not so good and Back ground score was just ok ok.

Renjith doing just rehash of his earlier movies instead of experimenting something new which is expected from the talent ed film maker like him.
