' North 24 Kaatham' - Review


'North 24 Kaatham' - a journey changes the life of a 'loner' IT Professional, brings out a fresh treatment. It is penned & directed by debut Anil Radhakrishna Menon. Nedumudi Venu, Fahad Fasil and Swathi handling the lead roles in this Journey and it runs on mixed opinions.

Story
Harikrishnan (Fahad Fasil) a brilliant IT professional and he is suffering Obsessive compulsive disorder. The Company sends him for a certain mission to Trivandrum City. On the way of travelling, he meets a politician named Gopalan (Nedumudi Venu) and a lady social worker Narayani (Swathi) and it happens in a 'Harthal Day'. Circumstances forced him to accompany with these persons and this changes his entire life. 

Movie Outlook

  • Story is just good.
  • The First 'Title Credit' is nice.
  • The first half rolls on good sequences and in the Second Half, feel some 'slowdown' parts.
  • Anti Climax and Climax, dealt with on Performers hand.

Acting

  • Fahad Fasil gives a good account in his character 'Harikrishnan'.
  • Nedumudi Venu does an extra ordinary job. His performance creates a feel that if such a man accompanying us in a journey. His last part in the movie, is amazing.
  • Swathi shares the good space with Nedumudi Venu and Fahad.   
  • Others are just Okay.

Technicality

  • Anil Radhakrishna Menon's making, treated creditably and the style is in new way. Coming to his 'writing', I feel that it needs some improvement.
  • Jayesh Nair's visuals create an impact mood. The shots of 'Nature' and a 'Harthal Day' show his skills.
  • Govind Menon's tunes sync with the film. 

Grade:    Good and Adjustable
Rating:   3.25 / 5
