'Nadodi Mannan' :- Only in Dileep's hands

'Nadodi Mannan' came with taking an exception 'A Mass-Family Entertainer', is just completely achieved. In brief, relating to the ' title', The movie is throughout hero oriented of actor 'Dileep' and he could only fulfil your entertainment. Viji Thampi directed this movie which is penned by V.S.Subhash and Krishna Poojapura. The film was released yesterday and bagged mixed responses.

Story

Padmanabhan (Dileep) is people supplier for meetings and strikes. Once while he was participating a strike in Trivandrum city, accidentally his life changes. And he becomes a 'Mayor' of Trivandrum and he cleans the city destroying the illegal activities. 

Movie Outlook

• Looking to the story, is likeness of the hit film 'Lion' of the same hero except certain changes. Totally, 'The old wine is in a new cask' 
• The first half is engaging and entertaining (specially 'Hospital' scenes) and the second, is average. 
• It has some negatives like some cg works, especially some in 'Palace' scenes and Climax, could have been better.

Acting

• In the hit movies of actor Dileep, a teamwork of comic actors have helped to work out the best situations but 'Nadodi Mannan' is a One man show of Dileep and one & only he engaging you with his comic numbers until the last of the movie.
• The villain role of Shayaji Shinde, is formulaic and repetitive.
• Others are just fine.  

Technicality

• The Director Viji Thampi keep a pace in the first half of the film but in the second, I felt that the director is in a hurry to finish the shots and scenes. The direction is just in pass mark.
• Script of V.S.Subhash and Krishna Poojapura, tried to entertain with action-comic formulas. They miss the plot's important situation. ( The 'wife' and 'daughter' of the role of Ashokan are on a strike unknowingly the murder of his and it's not revealing before them until the end )  
• Other technicalities;Camera by Sanjeev Shankar, Musics of Vidayasagar and others are just fare.

'Zachariyayude Garbhinikal' - Review

'Zachariyayude Garbhinikal' creates more confusing in some elaborated characters and their situations (are pointless in the roles of Rima Kallingal and Sandra Thomas). Whether the film is more simplified, the writer cum director Aneesh Anwar can trim back the complications. So the movie isn't impressive. Lal playing the Role of Gynaecologist and the pregnant ladies (Garbhinikal) are Geetha, Sanusha, Sandra Thomas and Rima Kallingal. It released 27/09/2013 in theatres.

Movie Outlook

• The film narrated by actor Indrajith's vocal and he presented the titular characters and their motifs.
• To my opinion, The film doesn't want 4 pregnant ladies, better to be only two: the roles of Geetha and Sanusha.  
• The First half contains some lagging & good moments and in the Second, is the same as the first.

Acting

• Lal performing as usual with his styles & gestures.
• Actress Geetha performed well, and Sanusha also did good job.
• Rima Kallingal and Sandra Thomas, they have nothing to do.

Technicality

• As a director, Aneesh could have to care about the making, because his style of craft lost in some sequences (he added a lots of blurry effects and some inept shots even in important situations). Coming to his writing, he tried to pen a feel good movie with significant theme 'a tribute to Motherhood', but he succeeded in part.
• Vishnu Narayanan captured some elegant visuals.
• Vishnu-Sharath's tunes are just soothing.
• Other technicalities: just good.
