Saudi Vellakka

From the makers of Operation Java, comes Saudi Vellakka, a film very different from the first one, a film that has seemingly nothing and yet A LOT. I've said it before, I'll say it again, Mollywood storytelling has a tendency to make great films out of a regular daily life story and this is one such.

I don't want to say anything about the plot, but here's what I can say - apparently based on a true story, this is a disheartening yet heartwarming movie w/ commentary on the judicial system and how petty squabbles and personal agendas have long lasting effects on people in ways that we may not know.

Acting, writing, music - great job! This is an example of how you don't need big names to make a GOOD film as long as the story is great. It has nothing overtop, no heroics, no fan-service, and yet, you'd have the satisfaction of having watched a movie that gives you something to take away. Surely watch this one!

First thing that stand out is over acting in the name of realism by some of the actors. How ever Binu pappu, lukman , first judge, gokulan vakkeel and his mom have done well.

Second half is heart touching and you would really feel for the lead role umma.

This is more of a serious drama about people getting dragged in to endless delays of the law and order system. There is not much humor as such and what ever humor they attempted didn't workout.

The umma's son (maheshinte prathikaram villain ) trying to act as a innocent pavam guy was terrible. The villain guy , police SI and umma's sons wife and many others were shouting the dialogs mostly and was irritating.

One of the best movies ! Beautifully executed. Content was superb. Very relevant .Wish this movie goes places. Just an outstanding performace from the leading old lady !! Subtle and restrained! Lawyer was good as well with his mannersims. Binu Pappus contribution was good too. Most artists did their part well. Excellent back ground score. A simple theme but with great impact. There should be a screening session arranged for judges and lawyers and wish to see this as Indias entry to the festivals. Trials and fights against the system. Story seem to be taken from a real life incident and hats off to the entire team to adapt it to screen. The only negative possibly is with the 'Title'. While it may be relevant to the content, with a different title, possibly could have drawn more people to theatres who kept themselves watching big screen on account of the title.

What an amazing movie. I went into the movie without knowing anything about the movie and I think this is definitely one of the best malayalam movies that has come out this year. The movie is a courtroom procedural drama to a large extent. What the movie does amazingly is portray such amazing, likable and compelling characters. Amazing performance by debutant devi varma, what an acting. Sujith shankar was awsome, very different character from his previous projects. Danya annanya, binu papu, gokulan, all put forward such amazing performance. The writing is just amazing. I belive tharun moorthy is going to be one of the best writter director in malayalam cinema in comming years. All the technical departments did a great job. Camera work was so amazing. Many shots were designed to make the audience feel they are in middle of all the chaos happening in the courtroom. The movies main plot tries to show the how slow the indian judicial system works, one of the malayalam movie that released previously this year "naa thaan case kodu" Also deals with a similar subject, but I feel this movie conveys it more Efficienctly. Usually court room dramas are thrillers,which try to show secrets of a case revealing in a court, but this movie is very different,they show everything in the beginning as to what had happened, the movie instead tries to show the senslessness caused by simple egos between people and the suffering people go through due to such big and lengthy procedures in the court. I can praise a lot of things in the movie. Definitely a must watch according to me.

JOURNEY OF UMMA That stoles the heart. It shows how a life connected to one another. Realistic and touching work DARK SHADE OF PLACE SHOWS LIMITED knowledge of people lives in saudhi kochi.

Umma britto sathar abhilash All are the bench mark of literary poor society. THERE IS NO COLORFULLNESS DIRECTOR THARUN MOORTHY CAPTURE TO HARD HITTING TALE OF lives.

The value of humanity is realised by the work.

Gokulan is a simbolic representative of law. THIS MOVIE SHOW THAT LOTS AND LOTS OF CASES TILL PENDING ONCOURT FOR JUDGEMENT AND THE AFTER EFFECT FACED BY COMMON PEOPLE. Music and camera also the backbone of work.
