Annum Innum Ennum - Exclusive Movie Review
Annum Innum Ennum
Directed by Rajesh Nair
Produced by Usha Rajesh
Written by Rajesh Nair
Starring
Nishan
Jishnu
Siddique
Fareisa Joemmanbaks
Tashu Kaushik
Radhika
Music by Varun Unni
Cinematography Prashanth Krishna
Editing by V SaaJan
Studio Vaya Films
Release date(s) 18 January 2013 ([1])
Country India
Language Malayalam
Story
The Story is about a young couple Sreedhar (Jishnu), a non-practicing Doctor & full time un-successful writer & Anju, a publicist. Annum Innnum Ennum deals with the lives of these two, their problems and many characters they encounter at various stages of lives
Evaluation
The film is a take or modern, nuclear families. Story line is reminiscent of 'Life in a Metro' (may be thats why UTV is the distributor of the film). Much wasn't heard about the movie before release, but it turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Its a sugar coated filmatic representation of family lives mainly in metros.
The first half is a treat to watch flots of humor, in the second half the movie drags a bit but since the length is just 120 mins its doesn't go to the extend of boredom. Jishnu has given a riveting, knock-out perfomance as the writer suffering 5 year long writers block. The supporting cast also did their part well. Direction, Editing, Camera was OK. BG was good, had a Gopi Sundar hang over to it (Don't know if if he himself did it). There's just one song in the movie comes along with end credits.
The movie also features Late Great Thilakan in a small role. I thnk Venu (Comedy stars fame) dubbed for him, and did a neat job.
Over all its a an entertainer of new gen families with few new gen elements incorporated
Verdict: Above Average - Worth Watch
Box Office: Lack of promotion & noted star cast could affect the movie
Rating: 2.75/5

Romans - Exclusive Malayalam Movie Review
presents
KUNCHACKO BOBAN - BIJU MENON
in & as
ROMANS
*ing Niveda Thomas, Vijayaraghavan, Lalu Alex, Kochu Preman, T G Ravi, Shaju...
Music : M Jeyachandran
Script : Y V Rajesh
Cinematography : Vinod Ilampally
Editing : Lijo Paul
Producers : Bijoy Chandran & Arun Gosh
Direction : Boban Samuel
Story
The story is of two escaped convicts accidentally becoming priests in a church in a remote village in Kerala-Tamil Nadu border and the problems they face and the situations they fell into.
Evaluation
The story line of escaped convicts becoming priests is inspired from Robert Deniro Sean Penn starrer 'We're No Angels'. But the similarity ends there. The script has been completely reworked and presented in a supremely entertaining fashion. Kudos to the writer for making use of the hit 'Ordinary' pair of Kunchako & Biju to their very best. The director has packaged in very well, especially in the second half.
The first half deals with the convicts getting accustomed to the village, people and their role as priests is rip roaring fun. Biju Menon with his quirky one liners well supported by Kunchako Boban, just like in 'Ordinary' makes it a superb watch even though bit lengthy.
The second half is in told in a suspense-thriller-horror mode, but unlike Ordinary the comedy content never vanishes, its there throughout the film. The way director handled the suspense part especially the last 30mins is very much commendable, even thougfh it reminds you of 'seniors' here and there.
The film was marketed as the return of Kunchako-Biju hit jodi (we can forget the disaster 101 weddings) and they delivered 150%. The supporting cast was also very good like Nelson (Comedy stars/Spanish Masala fame) Lalu Alex, Kochu Preman and plenty others. The camera was very good and it captured 'Kodaikanal' to the very best. It is bit lengthy, but doesn't drag even for a bit. The 3 songs (1 end credit) are hummable.
Heroine Niveta was a mis cast and the role was also not well written. The story is of mistaken identities which might be a turn off for a few (very few). The film gives a feel of Priyadarshan hit 'Kakkakuyil'. There are also few double meaning dialogues here and there
Anyway its a non-brainer, laughter fest, which is what we expected from the film. May not belong to the class of 'Ordinary' but is sure is far more entertaining IMO
So go with your family, laugh out loud, and have a great time
Rating 3.5/5
Box Office: we might just have the first blockbuster of 2013
