The film stars Fahadh Faasil, Anusree, Alencier Ley Lopez, Aparna Balamurali, and Soubin Shahir. Written by Syam Pushkaran, its story is based on an incident in the life of Thampan Purushan from Thuravoor, Cherthala. Shyju Khalid was the film’s cinematographer, and its soundtrack and score were composed by Bijibal. The film tells the story of Mahesh Bhavana (Faasil), a photographer, who attempts to defuse a conflict between his friend Crispin (Shahir) and a group of youngsters passing through their village, and is knocked to the ground. Defeated in the tussle and unable to fight back, he is embarrassed in front of his neighbours. Mahesh publicly vows that he will not wear his slippers again until he has avenged the humiliation. The movie then shows how Mahesh takes revenge on Jimson and the events that lead to that. In the mean time Mahesh falls in love with Jimsy, the sister of Jimson.

How veteran Malayalam actor K Raghavan came to be a part of Venkatesh Maha and Satyadev’s Telugu film ‘Uma Maheshwara Ugra Roopasya’ “I was surprised when director Venkatesh Maha’s team called and asked me to act in a Telugu film,” says 78-year-old K Raghavan, who is now familiar to those who’ve watched…

#MoviesIWatch - Uma Maheswara Ugra Roopasya (2020)

The right kind of remake. Brings in the same subtle smile on your face without you even noticing it. Satyadev was stellar as Mahesh. Thank you, Maha Venkatesh, for this.

Malayalam cinema should use Raghavan more.

There are two schools to approaching a remake. A filmmaker either takes the crux of the original story and adapts it to suit the sensibilities of the new target audience, or does a faithful copy of the original content. Cinematographer Appu Prabhakar is of the opinion that a frame-to-frame remake is like “copying a painting and trying to match the original. Your film can never better the…

Survey of Malayalam Film

Recently I learned that the decade I was growing up and watching Malayalam movies is widely known as a decade of decline, which is not surprising to me looking back at most of the bullshit I saw in theaters with my family. But after some extensive research (wikipedia page for Malayalam Film Industry 🙃), I’ve learned that pre-2000 and post-2010, a lot of Malayalam movies are beloved for strong storytelling and audiovisuals! I’m starting a project - I’ve curated a list of movies that make up a solid survey of Malayalam film, the 80s and 2010s being the most represented. List below! Will update with thoughts as I watch!

The “new’ crop of Malayalam movies I’ve been watching (well, ‘new’ in grandma-me time, as I catch up with movies made post 2000?) are great- like knocking-my-socks-off great- in many respects- except for the stalker-y “romances” which are so fucking off-putting. Even the big “hit” romances that I’ve been watching have all suffered from this, whether that’s “om shanti oshana” (where the stalker is the underage girl, oh, so much more fun) or the guy (I’m looking at you “Bangalore Days”, “Maheshinte Prathikaram”, “Annayum Rasoolum”). I understand it’s a conservative, patriarchal,heteronormative society that doesn’t really allow free interaction between men and women, but use your fucking imagination, gdi.  Give the women a literal voice. ( “Annayum Rasoolum” was the worst offender of the movies I watched so far, did Andrea Jeremiah have more than ten lines of dialogue in the entire fucking film of 2 hrs? And then her character commits suicide, silencing her forever.) 

Tell the story of the world as it could be, that’s part of your fucking job.

Maheshinte Prathikaram, Mahesh’s Revenge (2016)

“When I was shooting for Idukki Gold, Syam Puskaran, the writer of the film, and I got talking one night. He told me about Thampan Purushan, a man from Puskaran’s town, who was once hit during a brawl. Purushan took an oath that until he hit the guy who thrashed him, he would not wear slippers. But the poor man had to wait a number of years because his opponent had gone off to the Gulf to resume his job. I thought this was a story worth shooting as an exercise or a short film. A few hours into the night, we then got talking about other such characters and situations we knew – a photographer in my town, scenes I remembered from a funeral once, some of our love stories. By the end of the night, we had decided that we had to make a full-fledged film out of all of it.”

Frames of SHYJU KHALID ❤️❤️❤️ . The Great #AkiraKurasowa once said that 'Every Frame is a Painting'. And I don't think there is any other current cinematographer in Malayalam whose craft and composition is very much in tandem with these words of the auteur. From Traffic to Kumbalangi Nights, Shyju Khalid's frames and works speak for themselves. Just take a glance into some of the films he has been associated with over the years... 1. #Traffic 2. #SaltNPepper 3. #22FemaleKottayam 4. #DaThadiya 5. #5Sundarikal 6. #IdukkiGold 7. #MaheshintePrathikaram 8. #EeMaYau 9. #SudaniFromNigeria 10. #KumbalangiNights Each one of these films have been path-breaking and brought something new to the Malayalam film industry. He's one of the lynchpins of a group of technicians who have been the harbingers of some good changes in our films. And I can't find any other current DOP who has a filmography as good as his (at times when we are blessed with a lot many of talented cinematographers in #JomonTJohn, #GirishGangadharan, #ManeshMadhavan, #SameerThahir, #SujithVaassudev, #LittilSwayamp and others). His frames and compositions in Maheshinte Prathikaram and Ee Ma Yau were truly international and I can't decipher how he ended up not winning any major awards for these works. His only directorial work to date was the segment '#Sethulakshmi' in the anthology film '5 Sundarikal'. That for me was one of the most hard hitting works in recent years and deserved more appreciation. Thanks for being part of some great films and for giving us frames that'll always be etched in our hearts. Please continue to do so and very Happy Birthday @shyju.khalid ❤️ . . . #ShyjuKhalid #shyjukhalid🎥 #DOP #cinematography #cinematographer #artist #art #frames #cinema #fanboy https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw66I-YnDGa/?igshid=1a3zjcbx9vtl5

Nazriya Nazim clarifies that she and husband Fahadh Faasil are not expecting their first child

For some time now, rumours are rife that the much-in-love couple Nazriya Nazimand Fahadh Faasil are expecting their first child. Many factors led to this conclusion, the most evident one being the couple’s recent visit to the hospital. Following this buzz, social media went haywire with wishes and messages for the allegedly to-be parents.

Adding fuel to the fire was the fact that the couple’s near and dear ones visited them recently and threw a celebratory bash for them. Additionally, doting husband Fahadh pulled out of events and appearances and also rejected a few interesting projects citing that he would like to spend more time with his lovely wife.

All these reasons led everyone to believe that the couple were indeed in the family way. However, Nazriya surprised everyone when she took to her social media handle to rubbish the pregnancy rumours. Well, what do you think of that?

Love struck between Fahadh and Nazriya during the shoot of their hit movie Bangalore Days in 2014. They took their relationship forward and tied the knot the same year.

Fahadh rose to fame with his movies Maheshinte Prathikaram and Take Off. On the personal front, the couple is enjoying wedded bliss. During a recent interview, Nazriya was all praises for hubby. She had said, “He is not only a great life partner but also an ideal son. I want my children to be like Fahadh.”

Isn’t that adorable?

Nazriya quit acting after her marriage to Fahadh. However, Fahadh recently revealed that he has no issues with her making a comeback in movies.

THE MOST INTERESTING INDIAN FILMS OF 2016

Critical writing should attempt to be somewhat objective, to rationalise and give meaning to one’s opinions, but with cinema that is impossible. Cinema deals with emotions and with humanity, very far from rationality.

To discuss the “quality” of cinema over an arbitrary 52-week period seems ridiculous, as the Indian film calendar doesn’t have the formal book-ending that the Oscars awards season gives to Hollywood (though we do have the masala noise-fest of Sankranti/Pongal movies in the early months, and the all caps BOLLYWOOD event movies of Diwali, Eid & Christmas into the second half of the year). Yet over the last 52 weeks, Hindi cinema in particular seems to have succumbed to the cold and clinical idea that we should be told exactly how to feel and when to feel it, using sound and image for little more than a beginning-middle-and-end, setup-problem-resolution, with well-oiled emotional propaganda like Dangal, Airlift and Pink. These “good” films were full of rationality in their storytelling. A rationality based on rules, commerce and market testing. You are able about to say what they are “about” in one word. So the following films are those that I found most rewarding, as they dared to be irrational. Confusing. Irritating. Sometimes boring. These are films that perhaps accidentally, embraced a spirit of anarchy and looked both inward and outward, works that felt both a sense of being inside and outside “cinema”. We know now what it means to be “good” in terms of movie making. Good camerawork, good direction, good screenwriting - these things have now been defined. All the films in this list have these features, so I will attempt not to write about them. These are the films that used those tools to do something more than tell a story. 9. Achcham Yenbadhu Madamaiyada

A. R. Rahman’s stunning song from this soundtrack, Thalli Pogathey, has a lot in common with the film itself. No chorus, no refrain. A run of melodies that never repeat, yet still never deviate from a common emotion or feeling, that layer on top of one another and build to a explosive and confusing climax. Then before you know it, it’s finished. Incidentally, the song plays over a car crash. A film with great respect for the laws of genre, but no respect for keeping them clean and intact. Boy meets girl. Boy convinces girl to go on spontaneous picturesque road-trip. Road-trip turns into insane gangster chase movie. Then the resolution of the story is so wild it might as well be from a different film, while cramming as many Tamil pop-culture movie references as possible into a five minute scene. The most stimulating thing about the film is trying to work out just how seriously it is taking itself. Depending on which end of the spectrum you answer that question, it’s either a work by a filmmaker brave enough to break every last rule and still attempt to make us feel something, or a mocking criticism of the idea that anyone ever thought it possible to even try.  8. Bambukat

Punjabi cinema continues to be thrilling, creating its own language that is near impossible to pin down. A film like this, that tells a simple and unambiguous, almost proverbial tale, seems out of place on a list like this that celebrates the subversive. But there is something more at play. The Punjabi cinema of the last 10 years has blossomed when at its most Punjabi. Initially, this cinema was very clearly language-based; stage play-esque comedies that relied on accent, wordplay and slang. But now, a love for the soil, people and culture of Punjab has created something amazing. When you love and respect everything around you, the air, the light, the sound of the wind, what better medium is there to express it than cinema? And this is true cinema. The story of two men battling it out to have the best motorbike is a gilded washing-line on which to hang these small details, these beautiful paghs and parandey. 7. Ae Dil Hai Mushkil

Usually, the thundering act-of-god is a disappointing deal breaker in films about people and the consequences of their actions (read: the car crashes in Cocktail and Kapoor & Sons), but the twist works in this film. It is the classic Bollywood trope of tragedy. Ae Dil Hai Mushkil is melodrama itself, from a filmmaker who has huge love for this very Indian art form. Aside from Bhansali, which other contemporary director still explores the meaningless calamity of human existence with such poetry and romance, and such disregard for being concise? The characters of this film are people with nothing real to worry about, who create their own problems without meaning to. And then that twist, wherein they realise even the worst thing God can throw at you is nothing compared to what you can throw at yourself. Cinema shouldn’t attempt to answer questions. It should use camera and sound, abstracts like music, poetry, colour, and other fundamentally absurd components of popular culture, and pose questions with them. 6. Action Hero Biju

Is cinema an honest medium? Is it ever possible to capture truth on camera? Action Hero Biju seems on the surface to be trying. A documentary-esque non-narrative casebook of events in one charismatic policeman’s life. With characters etched in such succinct detail despite appearing on screen for a matter of minutes, moments of devastating melancholy juxtaposed with sudden roaring humour, moments of stillness and observation ended with crowd-pleasing fourth wall-breaking masala punches, and a camera that roves like an escaped chicken in a bustling street market, this is as honest a film as you will ever see. 5. Maheshinte Prathikaram

Another film about people, the world they inhabit, and the things they do inside it. The mood and texture of this particular world, and the way in which it is communicated to us, is entirely singular. It’s all just chance. The crux of this film, and any small trace of “narrative” that exists within, is just a random chain of banal events, a farcical demonstration of the butterfly effect involving some dropped coconuts and a slapstick street brawl. What we’re left with is a film that laughs at the idea of reason, at the idea of originality of thought. Some films are brave enough to be about many things at once. Others are even braver to dare to be about nothing at all. Yes it is superbly shot and directed, with beautiful characters and performances, but more importantly it is a film that whispers to you softly, as warm water rushes around your feet, and you aware of just what it is to be alive.  4. Kali

Speaking of films that are “about” things, we have Kali (Rage); a film that can be read as another interesting exploration into the Indian 2-act structure (pre and post-interval), or a moody exploitation thriller about a road trip where everything goes wrong (and isn’t the genre of exploitation such an interesting thing for any audience to think about?), or most interestingly, a cubist dissection of anger as a concept (as emotions are to cinema what light is to painting). Then you have Sai Pallavi as a centerpiece, an undeniably wonderful actress and bonafide icon who,in 2015’s Premam, became the focus of a film about the male gaze and subsequently held the gaze of every male in the South of India. Now she is the partially seeing-eye of the narrative, and it is through her gaze and her experience that we feel the wrath of male anger weighing down on us. In the opening of the film we are treated to a character establishing flashback, a giant brawl on a college campus, shot with a biblical audacity, iconoclastic gait. In this testosterone-fueled pure masala moment, we realise how “masculinity” is rage, and how rage is, in turn, masala cinema. 3. Kadhalum Kadanthu Pogum

The hardest film to write about in the list. A film with a sense of purpose in its craft, but that left me wonderfully confused. Is it just a drama about two people from two walks of life attempting to understand each other and define the (sexual or non-sexual) attraction they both hold? Is it Shakespearean farcical comedy of errors? Is it an ode to a wasted life - a sighing, weary half-warning on chasing an idea of excitement that is peddled to the poorest, stupidest people only to disappoint them and leave them with nothing? There are films in this list that are about “issues” that affect people, where people die, and that guilt us into change with swathes of sadness. But this may be the saddest film of the lot, as it is ultimately pathetic and hopeless. You laugh at its protagonist, a failed gangster who has given up on trying to intimidate anyone and just slumps around, barely bothering to be alive. But it is a dangerous laughter, because doesn’t that person exist somewhere inside all of us? We are offered catharsis, even something of a happy ending, but like every other moment here, it is softly lined with utter nothingness. That nothingness comes from the performances, from the mood, from the camera, which ironically fill every second with great life and detail. How powerful it is to speak with such purpose about having no purpose. 2. Kammatipaadam

A truly scholarly work, that on a first viewing could be seen to be a slow-moving collection of vignettes that add up to some dramatic character arcs. But this is more than a film. It is a dense and academic study of a particular socio-political moment in time, where a city was gentrified and “developed” at the expense of its most loyal and loving inhabitants, whereby they were not fought with, but lied to, manipulated, and swallowed up by the belief that they were being helped. It is a study of an intricate and contradictory caste system, and the way it was abused and controlled by those above it to enslave the people within it. But the film doesn’t shout these things at you. In fact it doesn’t even whisper. It just happens. And you might not even notice it if you don’t read a few essays and historical books. That is how slight and personal a work this is. 1. Sairat

Then you have Sairat, which covers similarly socially important subject ground as Kammatipaadam, with considerably less subtlety. But both are valid forms of expression. In fact, Sairat is proud to manipulate you. It makes no secret of it. It does poke and prod you, and put things in front of you and ask you to answer to them, as if you are an active participant in such horrors. But it builds on you slowly, it creeps up on you, lulls you into rhythms and then wakes you up at random, sometimes with loud bangs and sometimes, even more unnervingly, with tiny scratches. This is something I’ve never felt before in a film. To say simply that the pre-interval half is filmi escapism, complete with the colourful and musical diversions that make popular cinema popular, and that the second half smacks you in the face with cold and silent “realism”, would be true but over-simplified. The second half, as quiet as it is, still sings to you. It is still untrue, still cinema in an equally calculating and designing mode. Just perhaps a less enjoyable one. Then the ending. Preachy and heavy handed, maybe. Soul crushing, certainly. But after three hours of being massaged, of feeling the warm hands of cinema all over your body (with varying degrees of lightness and heaviness of touch), to be suddenly left with this devastating nothingness, this void of humanity, is an experience. It may sound trite, but in this moment you realise that we are all at danger of being nothing but a passive audience to our own lives. Sense of self, pride in an abstract sense of community, social class – those are the biggest manipulations dished out to us by each other. To say Sairat is about caste is too easy. It is about all the hateful lies that have ever killed love. ------------------------------- Thank you and see you next year. For the record I also loved Kabali and Befikre, but wanted to maintain some air of respectability and was ultimately unable to justify my divisive love. Does that make me a failure? On that note, I shoudn’t even mention my feelings for Housefull 3. Whoops I think I just did...
