Malayankunju

Excellent acting by fahad supported by jaffar idukki .. excellent camera .... Altogether we have another cinematic experience Not getting the AR music magic.

Malayankunju starring Fahadh Faasil in lead role... Also starring Indrans, Jaffar Iddiqui, Ramisha Vijayan...

Directed by Sajimon.... Written by Mahesh Narayanan.

Verdict of the Movie: Hit....

Plot of the Movie:

Anil Kumar played by Fahad Fassil is an electronic mechanic leading a life of distress..

The 1st half of the movie just takes us the journey of Anil Kumar's daily life routines, his inappropriate behaviour towards the people so on and so forth.... The 1st half ends with a landslide happening at one midnight....

The second half begins with the journey of Anil Kumar finding a way out from the 40 feet approx down towards the light of life and in that journey what all sufferings he need to cross and also what he realises about the life forms the rest part of the story....

Mahesh Narayanan had penned very well focusing on the pain of the people who looses everything on a landslide. We often hear news of landslides but what exactly happens to that family, how they emotionally overcomes the loss had been beautifully portrayed in Mahesh Narayanan screen play...

As Mahesh Narayanan also undertook the cinematography, he beautifully framed the sequences which made the 2nd half watchable

Sajimon directoral debut proved worthy....

A. R. Rahman music was very soothing...Also the BGM of his was the backbone which just gripped the screenplay during 2nd half...

Fahad Fassil spectacular performance... If 2nd of the movie was watchable it was the one man show of his stellar performance....

Overall Malayankunju delivers a decent survival thriller experience & also makes the people feel about those people who suffers due to landslide when they hear next time...

Nicely done.

A lot of things are bandied about in this movie. Nice message, deserving for the humans of today.

But none of it hinders in the story telling. And individual performances from the lead played by FaFa and everyone else including Ponni stands out.

Good cinema.

I just finished watching the movie. I am astounded by the acting skills of Fahad Fazil. I couldn't stop thinking about how much he has evolved as an actor as I walked out of that exit door. There are a lot of other positives related to the movie, such as the superb direction, brilliant cinematography and excellent cast. Also, much praise should be given to the art department. One cannot ignore the part AR Rahman played in this movie. The movie's very essence was elevated to the next level by his music and the BGM. Even though the movie's survival element isn't exactly gripping, it's still a great film that you should see in the theatre just to witness the master , FaFa , is becoming..

Positive are Fahad, AR Rahman music ,Background effects and score , And the second half thrills. Can't think of anything negative.

Compared to most international survival thrillers we seen , this movie got different layers. It is not about hero escaping and emotional family waiting. The casteism part in first half and the emotional bond in second half gives it a different perspective.

Watch in theaters or with a good home theater.
