Which I would like to categorize as a ‘male oriented movie’..
The first half of the movie
dissatisfies the family audience as well as creates an embarrassment in them..
The dialogue and sites are so unwrapped
and crude as far as family viewers are concerned..
I have never come across such a
movie in which the other face of human minds are reflected this red..
Though it was termed as a ‘New
Generation Movie’ by the media, the plot flows through raw sub-standard
situations which are too much realistic, but which remains alien to a normal
spectator..
Over protrusion of human hunger
for meat made the first half annoying..
The drinking and smoking new-gen
women are another attribute which broadcasts that nothing is wrong or to worry
about it..
Many families quit the watch in
the middle and left the theatre..
It makes the fact clear that the
first half failed to serve the family audience, rather was only oriented on men,
may be guys..
Now, to the positives of the
movie..
The extra-ordinary acting of
Jayasoorya, Hani (Dhwani since this movie..), Anoop Menon, Saiju Kurup, P.Jayachandran
,Thesni Khan, Babu Namboothiri, Bhavana, Devi Ajith, Arun etc have made the silver screen glow..
The second half has some fine
stuff in it..
The Single-woman man concept of
Anoop Menon and the proposition that we should be innocent like children were
the few releases for the family audience..
The background score, Music and
Camera are another highlights of the movie..
The script is strong..
Instead of defining it as a movie, it can be better described as a "Portrait of some lives.."!!
In short, the movie with U/A
Certification is a “must not watch” for family audience..
The male cluster would understand
and enjoy the movie better!!!
V.K Prakash had disappointed the
ones who entered the cinema halls with his beautiful movie “Beautiful” in their minds..
P.S : Please don't go for it with family.. and if you do not have much understanding on double meanings!!!
