Pazhanjan Pranayam

Pazhanjan Pranayam (Old-School Romance) took me by surprise as obscure Malayalam films rarely do. This is a simple story of a middle-aged bachelor living with his ailing father. He's been on the lookout for a bride since his 20s but has been unsuccessful, and that is when he hires a woman as a full-time maid. Pazhanjan Pranayam excels in storytelling above else, and although most of the proceedings are predictable here, there's a certain charm to the characters. Romy David went a bit overboard here but I liked him. It seems cheesy and at least one sequence is a bit over-the-top but overall the film manages to put a smile on your face. It did for me.

After an age men stop watching romance movies and I started out that way watching this. But I am blown away by the brilliant script, subdued realistic acting of entire caste and the balance between romance humor and realism of the screen play. The film doesn't have much ups or downs it is just life as is, no overly dramatic moments, no action , no villian , it is just a story which you can relate to, which revives your soul, and finds happiness. Some have mentioned that the ending is bland, but I consider it the perfect ending not trying to put a dramatic show or tension. I did not even mind the slow motion scenes which I usually hate as the movie kinds of sinks into your soul at some point.

A must watch movie. The actors did a superb job in delivering the most realistic situations in South India carved of directors brilliance fused with a mesmerizing nostalgic soundtracks. There is something missing here and there though overall the storyline was really good. The director and the lead actors have an amazing potential to deliver some stunning characters and scenes. The film delivers a good message that evokes the feeling that true love comes with understanding and care rather than riches. The beauty of family comes with risks and change but moving on is an important step in achieving the same. Overall it's a beauty to watch.

A feel good Excellent movie, not a single harshness, no fights, no villains, good people all around. Soulful creation. Every aspect of this movie was so good. Great actors, great music, BGM, good direction, cinematography. Though we know how it would end, we wish to be in the flow to enjoy how it unfolds.

More such movies should be made to spread positivity, good feelings, good thoughts.

What more to expect from a movie than to have good feelings throughout. Such movies surely increase longevity, relieves stress, make you feel lighter. Very simple characters yet they touch your heart. Sweet!

A very long time ago there was ' Beatles 'a simple pop group, their songs were simple two to four instruments and a chain of simply words. These words were able to create incredible feelings and emotions in us mere mortals. There were many other groups and movies as well, at various times, each more sophisticated than the one earlier. The common things in these are the fact that the most simple things, feelings, prose, poetry are the very greatest. Vincy A.did a very wonderful job in the movie as a simple, ordinary normal Kerala Mallu girl. Rony David did justice to his role as a simpleton who dedicated his life to the care of his father. The movie depicts the life of simple people in, perhaps somewhat convoluted life situations. Without the fanfare of superstars or the loaded aspects of ' item ' dances and songs, this movie creates a feeling of heartfelt nostalgia of the earlier simplistic life in Kerala. The name " PAZHANJAN PRANAYAM " itself is totally and completely justified for the purpose and the story view.
