Balachandra Menon criticizes the ‘bold’ new wave films
Is there something called ‘new generation’ cinema? Well, you
can agree or disagree but a huge group of filmmakers and film aficionados are
coming out with some whacky experiments in the guise of ‘New Gen’ films. Good
if it is all in the right direction. But all these filmmakers are bothered about
are in adding expletives and titillations under the guise of ‘bold’
experiments. There have been some recent films, which had highly offensive
scenes and dialogues but went on to become successful.
It is in this context that veteran filmmaker Balachandra Menon
decided to lash out at these pseudo attempts. According to him, it is
ridiculous to show what you do inside the privacy of your toilet and bedrooms,
on screen. He cited an example, which said it all.
“If a silly donkey decided to stand in front of a speeding
train, how can it be called ‘boldness’?” he asked.
The donkeys should answer now.
The donkeys should answer now.

There have been speculations doing the rounds all along on
who was Vineeth Sreenivasan’s romantic interest. Recently he announced the
girl’s name, Divya, his junior at the college.
The two got married last week at a grand wedding function at
Kannur on Oct 18. There was a reception arranged for friends and family at

Vineeth is riding high after the amazing success of his
second movie, Thattathin Marayathu. The
singer turned actor turned scenarist and director, is now planning to launch
his younger brother Dhyan as a hero, soon.
We
wish Vineeth and Divya a long and happy married life.
JAWAN OF VELLIMALA - Malayalam Movie Review
REVIEW: JAWAN OF
VELLIMALA
Dir: Anoop Kannan
Camera: Satheesh
Kurup
Music: Biji Bal
Cast: Mammootty,
Sreenivasan, Asif Ali, Mamta Mohandas
FACTFILE: Anoop
Kannan, who has been assisting Lal Jose, makes his debut with the Mammootty
film. The hero, who has been going through a disastrous phase for sometime now,
is producing the film.
THE PLOT: Gopi
Krishnan (Mammootty) is the dam operator at Vellimala dam, located at some high
range area. He is a former jawan and has a peculiar problem. He can see ghosts
during the night!
Varghese (Sreenivasan) takes charge as the executive
engineer there, Koshy Oommen (Asif Ali) comes there to settle some long pending
bills, Anitha (Mamta Mohandas) is loved by the people as a welfare officer and
chief engineer Chacko (Baburaj) comes there to have some drinks.
What’s the storyline then? Better ask scenarist James Albert
or director Anoop Kannan. Even they won’t be sure about what they were trying
to say.
THE REVIEW: Jawan of Vellimala could very well add
to Mammootty’s continuing line of flops. With no script worth mentioning and
amateurish direction, the film ends up as a colossal bore. Mammootty just
sleepwalks through his role.
Satheesh Kurup’s visuals are good and Biji Bal’s music is
good in parts.
RATING: 0.5/5
AYAALUM NJANUM THAMMIL - Malayalam Movie Review
REVIEW: AYAALUM
NJANUM THAMMIL
Dir: Lal Jose
Camera: Jomon T John
Music: Ouseppachan
Cast: Prithviraj,
Prathap Pothen
FACTFILE: After
the debacle of Cassanovva, scenarist
duo Bobby and Sanjay of Traffic fame,
are back, this time with director Lal Jose and teaming up with their dad Prem
Prakash who is producing the movie.
THE PLOT: Dr.Ravi
Tharakan (Prithviraj) faces a tough situation after an emergency operation done
on a kid goes wrong. He flees the hospital but his car turns upside down. Now
the flashbacks begin. Ravi was an irresponsible doctor even after passing out
from the medical college. His friendship with Dr.Vivek (Narain), his romance
with Sainu (Samvrutha) and the transformation in his life, thanks to the
influence of Dr.Samuel (Prathap Pothen) is being told then.
THE REVIEW: Ayaalum Njanum Thammil is an okay film
at best. You just can watch the visuals as it unfolds but even after the film
ends; it is tough to understand what its makers were trying to say! A
half-baked script, narrated in style without much imagination and in an
unconvincing way by Lal Jose. That is the impression the viewer might have.
Prathap Pothen is top notch, Prithviraj is good but everyone
else are just there are “set properties”. That includes Narain and the three
girls. Samvrutha’s romance with Prithviraj is colder than a well-made cold
coffee with ice cream. Can someone please explain what is the transformation in
Prithviraj’s character that these guys are talking about?
The Kalabhavan Mani drama goes on to several episodes and
turns out to be too clichéd and predictable.
Jomon T John’s visuals are fine and Ouseppachan’s music is
not so fine.
RATING: 1.5/5
