I had watched the Malayalam superstar, Mohanlal in a Tamil movie, 'Iruvar' (a Manirathnam movie) many many years back. I can't follow Malayalam but can understand vaguely! When my niece said that this movie was a very good one and very famous (it was running full houses everywhere, it seems and was going towards a block buster of the year, '13 in Malayalam filmdom), I thought I can give it a try! Well...it was a good decision! Yesterday, I watched a very good movie which will never be forgotten, I think!
Georgekutty (Mohanlal) is a happily married man with two daughters. His wife is Rani (Meena, a very famous Tamil and Malayalam actor). Georgekutty is a Fourth standard failed man and married to Rani, a 10th standard failed woman ... both of them tease each other on this subject! He worked hard and became the owner of a 5 acre rubber plantation. But he enjoys working as a local town's cable operator and enjoys watching movies all the time...he gets so involved with the movies that he implements the situations in his daily life wherever possible! Have a look at this lovely song where you can feel their happiness as a close family.
Then, an incident happens in their lives which totally changes their normal life. The movie is all about how he solves the situation taking clues from the movies he had been watching for so many years. I don't want to write more about the story here! I try to write 'no spoilers' review!
The director of the film, Jeethu Joseph has taken the story so well that nothing looks filmy or dramatic situations. Everyone acted very naturally and without much filmy make up. Malayalam films are famous for these things!
I have to mention the Villain of the film, Kalabhavan Shajon, a famous actor in Malayalam films, I was told. He acted very well at par with Mohanlal in this movie. This movie is keeping on winning many awards, it seems.
They are planning to remake this film in Tamil, with Vikram in Mohanlal's role. Should wait and see if he comes at least a bit near to Mohanlal's acting! The scenery of the typical Kerala town, Thoduppuzha can be scene in its full glory! And I understood nearly 80% of the dialogues, which was a surprise to me!
This is a 'must see' movie!
