Ayalum Njanum Thammil...

Probably I was mesmerized more by the non-linear story-telling or the wonderful acting by the electrifying cast in this well-directed movie concerning a cause so prevalent in the Indian backlog.

Prithviraj is fantastic and I know why he was awarded. Prathap Pothan is the cynosure of this good script written by people who have given us classic like Traffic. Lal Jose does the magic again after his sweet comedy Diamond Necklace. I was taken aback by the level of detailing in this flick as it progresses with a punch of suspense about the vividness of the doctor profession. The minutiae is terrific and the music/score backs it greatly. Supporting cast like Samvrutha & Remya & Narain & Rima have done well with what was given to them. Kalabhavan Mani and his part of story is one of the USP of one of the very few films of 2012 which dents the universe as well as stamps a message. Ustahd Hotel, 22FK, Ee Adutha Kalathu & Spirit intrigued me.

It was high time someone delivered an unconventional & experimental movie to Indian cinema & I am glad I watched ANT. Only, that some sequences and humor were predictable & vague, I really enjoyed the 130 minutes of inventive screenplay.

BOTTOM LINE: Ayalum Njanum Thammil is a massive entertainer & true cinema with all the factors taken care of; one that gives a message and a take on a series of day-to-day activities and paradoxes of life and is well-executed. Kudos!
