Pazhashi Raja gets a grand opening

My review:

Mammooty, M T vasudevan nair and Hariharan have come together after the epic film "oru vadakkan veera gadha" nearly after 20 years.The expectations were sky high when i went to watch this movie.In a career spanning over three decades,director hariharan can now be proud of himself.I said this because he just proved "impossible is nothing". He gave a film with a flame of class and cult. I must say this is the most technically crafted movie in the history of malayalam cinema.

Mammooty once again proved that he excels well in author backed roles. An actor who is well known for delivering historical roles, and outstanding voice..... mammooty did well.He was very much successful in portraying the great kerala varma pazhashi raja and make us feel that "this is our king". But in my personal opinion i am sad to say that the performance he delivered in this movie failed to reached the level of performance he scaled in Oru vadakkan veera gadha.One of the best features of the movie is the tamil actor Sarath Kumar. He was given more importance than Mammootty for all the actions scenes as well as the dialogue scenes. The dubbing done for him was also excellent. I dont think that he has acted a much better film than this even in Tamil. Academy award winner Rasool pookutty did his job exceptionally well. Sound of an arrow or a gun, heavy showers, tidbit sound such as a chirp of a bird, i just got a doubt wheather it was a malayalam movie. The action choreography did'nt impress me. At some point it reminded me of some tamil movies.
Last but not the least i must mention about Ratnakar shetty's camerawork.It gives an artistic touch and very high levels of visual dimension. Must say the film is a 'Visual treat" with post-card like scenes.And hats off M t sir for delivering such a wonderful script which is the real hero and backbone of the movie.The only negative that I felt about this movie is Mammooty has not been introduced in some of the fight scenes in the movie. Though his dialogue delivery as well as acting were brilliant, his acting skills in the movie was poor and its strictly my personal opinion. The director failed to bring continuity to some scenes in the movie.

This film just shows Mollywood could create films of good quality. I just loved this dialogue from the film “He was our enemy, but a great warrior and a great human”. This is not an ordinary film, this is a technically perfect movie. Surely this movie will rejuvenate the patriotic flame in you. IT IS A MUST WATCH MOVIE. Don’t miss it.


My Verdict = 8.2/10
