'Mannar Mathai Speaking 2' - A dead sequel

'Mannar Mathai Speaking 2' is the third part of the film 'Ramji Rao Speaking', but why the part is named as '2'?. In my opinion, this is 3. Anyway, this sequel is directed badly by Mamas, who taken the direction rights from the director duo Sidique Lal, they did the script & direction of prequels that became as evergreen comedy thrillers. But the third instalment is shattering our expectations. 

Story 

Mannar Mathai (Innocent), the troupe owner of 'Urvashi Theatres'. Due to certain problems, Mannar Mathai and his companions Gopalakrishnan (Mukesh) and Balakrishnan (Saikumar) changed over their 'Urvashi Theatres' to 'Urvashi Tours & Travels'. Yet Mathai doesn't loose his passion of Drama and he prepares a drama to celebrate the 25th anniversary of his theatre. For their tours & travels, they require a driver who speaks English language fluently. Meanwhile Mathai wants an actress for his new drama. As a new driver enters named Unni (Basil) and Nithya (Aparna), as actress. While everything is going well, they met their old enemy Mahendra Varma (Biju Menon) and again their life become complicated.  

Movie outlook 

• A mixed script of its prequels. But have nothing interesting factors.
• The sequences makes a feel that  it's an adjusting movie with flat jokes .

Acting

• Only this is just a mixing of the appraised characters 'Mathai chettan', 'Gopalakrishnan', 'Balakrishnan', 'Ramji Rao', 'Mahendravarma':- they have nothing funny stuffs and also the newly added characters have nothing to do.

Technicalities 

• Director Mamas forgot the seriousness of the subject and he made a boring sequel.
• The main technical sides:- Camera, Editing are run-off-the-mill.
• Rahul Raj's musical scores are just OK.

Grade:    Uninteresting 

Rating:   2 / 5

'Happy Journey' - disappointed

'Happy Journey' is superfluously mixed a lot of sentiments and turns, which make a boring Journey. It is directed by Boban Samuel and featuring the main roles by Jayasurya, Lal, Lalu Alex, Balu etc. It released 21/02/2014 and the opinions are mixed.

Story

Since childhood, Aaron (Jayasurya) is a hardcore cricket fan. His mother Alice knows about his passion to cricket, she encouraged him to play. But unfortunately, following a road accident, he lost his eye sight. Alice tries to get him a chance in Blind cricket team. The sudden demise of his mother, Aaron becomes an orphan and gives up his desires. After a certain period, The Indian blind cricket team becomes active and a coach named Gopikrishnan (Lal), a struggling man, appointed as coach of that team. Aaron gets selection in the team and he becomes intimate with Gopikrishnan. Will Aaron's desires become truth....?.   

Movie outlook 

• The story happens in an adrift route and the sequences make a feel beyond tolerance. 
• Neither it's a feel-good experience nor a sentimental drama.
• The movie is outstretched and drag with plot less twists, unwanted factors.Climax is fall flat. 

Acting 

• Jayasurya's acting as a blind man, he neglected the genuinity of the 'challenging role' and dealt in his usual patterns .
• Lal as 'Gopikrishnan', did an excellent job.
• The childhood role of Nideesh Boban, he does brilliantly in his parts.
• The other actors are just OK.

Technicalities 

• Director Boban Samuel just follows the screenplay with required technical supports. Nothing remarks by him.
• Arunlal's script is the registered drawback. He bulges more it with spotless things.
• Mahesh raj's shots are good.
• Gopi Sundar's BG scores and tunes, its a saving grace.

Grade:    Gloomy Journey
