Yes a new method indeed, a part of artistic photography i must say. Slow shutter speed, a lot of lights and a little luck will definitely get you this.
Malayalam movies are something which every Malayalee can boast about to our friends from other states of the country, but we never had a proper sports movie, apart from the Abrid Shine-Nivin Pauly masterstroke 1983 all we had are some misses in the genre. Although we did try to take on different subjects like volleyball (Karikunam 6's) and football (Goal) nothing seemed to work out. So when I first saw the trailer of Godha all I could think of was a slapstick comedy riot as the directors (Basil Joseph) last outing Kunjiramayanam. Kunjiramayanam was an extremely fun movie but would I recommend it to a Non-Malayalee movie buff who takes cinema seriously? No. Besides that, Godha focused on wrestling, as a millennial malayalee who knows wrestling only through bollywood movies and the occasional hype that comes when India wins an olympic medal, I was quite skeptical about the movie. I had a lot of premonitions but Basil Josephs outstanding direction and Rakesh Manthodis brilliant ...
I wasn't sure, Yes ! the idea was fresh, the presentation was new, the actors were good ! But i had my doubts, should i do a review on this movie ? How would i review it ? A must watch or A don't bother watching it . It was hard for me to not come to a verdict, but that was before the climax. The climax literally blew me away. Woah ! I did not see that one coming. The movie started on a very high and appealing note. I was excited. But then it became kind of lagging, the story wanted that, but still, i wish there was some way the director could have made it more fast paced and by the ending i felt as if the movie was another one of those average mallu flicks with just the presentation changed. I have never been this wrong. It was one of those heart whelming movies i have seen in near future. A kind of movie that makes you leave with a smile on your face. A movie that makes you a part of the movie. Fahad Fasil has yet again proved that he is an actor for the future. Indrajit...
To watch the movie, observe it and write all the positives and negatives as the movie goes on, that was the plan I had in my mind when I got in for Thira at Escape cinemas, Chennai. But Vineeth Sreenivasan had other plans, to keep me on the edge of my seat. I was literally on the edge of the seat when the movie reached its interval. There was only one question going through my mind at that time, how could he transform, transform from the director who gave us a cute romantic story and give us such a mind boggling thriller. Thira was that, a thriller, one of its kinds, I cannot remember another movie from our industry that has taken up such an issue other than maybe Calcutta News. But Calcutta News lacked something in my view, but Thira, was complete. Shobhana, what a way to make a comeback. No need of countless posters or paper articles to make a grand comeback, a great role like this would do. What more need i say about her acting. Dhyan Sreenivasan, you just made a dream debut, ...
