Kili
Poyi, the debut venture of Vivek-Joseph-Vinay trio, is a slick, light
hearted, crazy movie that is mostly funny and engaging. Listen,
don't go in expecting a classy,
award winning film, but just
go in ready to laugh and get
entertained. I thought the
writing had real wit, not to mention the references(the
refernces to the dialogues in Akkakke Akkare Akkare and few other
movies were kick ass) and one
liners that any film enthusiast
will appreciate.
The
story revolves around Chacko
and Hari enacted
by Asif
Ali and Aju
Varghese; two
young ad professionals who are fed up
of their tedious work life. So they
decide to take a break to
kill all their stress
and head to Goa, where Chacko ends up meeting a beautiful foreigner.
Some
unexpected incidents, their
return from Goa, a mysterious bag &
some shady characters forms
the rest of the story.
The raw,
unadulterated language
used in
the movie
blends with the setting and the dialogues range from the hilarious to
laugh-out-loud moments. Kili
Poyi is also
enriched
with plenty of
raunchy humor which
is absolutely
situational and, though there is a lot of mayhem, there is no space
for slapstick. It does dabble with some stereotypes but the times
the stereotypes are broken which
brings a light fun and jovial spirit to the film and has some of the
funniest moments.
The
lead actors
did a great job. The
film works so unbelievably well because of the rapport between the 2
main actors. Asif Ali- Aju
Varghese duo carried the film
well on their shoulders.
Asif
has done a very good job. This is his best performance since a
very long time. He looks in
control and has a much improved dialogue delivery and comic timing.
So is Aju Varghese. The
movie is really bold and raw in some areas. It might be the reason
why it received an "A" certificate from the censor board.
Coming
to the technical aspects of the movie; the art
direction is apt, the cinematography is perfect and the editing is
crisp. The
"Kili
Poyi" song was visually engaging, creatively conceptualized and
choreographed. Rahul Raj's musical score is Kick ass. It is so
exciting, innovative and merges with the flow of the film. This
promising
team has
definitely has had a great debut and I'm sure their best is yet to
come.
Overall,
'Kili Poyi' is an engaging, light hearted movie that has enough good
moments to keep you in your seats. Entertainment is guaranteed. Go
watch it!
