The Year in Pictures

The story of 'KL 10 Pathu' basically revolves around too many incidents like a Panchayath Election, a local football tournament final, and an eloping of the hero and heroine. What makes things all the more complicated is the repercussion of the eloping which eventually affects the results of the football tournament and the election result. Because the hero is the son of the candidate in the panchayath election and a player of the football team which plays in the final.

There was an interesting film inside there somewhere

KL 10 Pathu is a film that is set almost entirely in Kerala&#39;s Muslim majority district of Malapuram (though a substantial portion of the film does take place in Kozhikode as well). The film is largely about the politics, friendships, football club rivalries and inter-caste love within the Muslim community of Malapuram. There was a good film inside there somewhere. Unfortunately, the interesting parts are in the background. Like the atheist son clashing with a devout Muslim mother, Muslims taking on Muslims who support Pakistan in cricket matches, life in a boys only college in Malapuram, the RSS interrupting the screening of a controversial film and a Communist Party worker taking on the burqa etc. But most of KL 10 Pathu is wasted in repetitive slapstick comedy and jokes centered around food. One of the problems with Malayalam cinema over the last few years is that they trivialize serious or interesting issues by tempering it with comedy. Like the part where a group of young Muslim men stop at a mosque (like if a group of Hindu or Christian men stop off at a bar on a journey) to pray on their way to meet a friend. This stuff is not really examined. The director seems to want to make us think that such behavior is normal. But what does he as a modern Muslim man think about such excessive religiosity? There is a trend in Malayalam cinema where such excessive religiosity is treated as normal. This is my highly subjective and possibly bigoted view of this scene. Another major gripe is that the makers hit you on the head with the terrible background score. After a certain point, the film seems to go around in circles. The parts where Aju Varghese and his friend walk around sampling different kinds of food become repetitive. The idea of inserting a Djinn character providing a narration was interesting. But he was around all the time. He became a distraction in some of the scenes. Anyway, this film was an above average effort by a first time director - Mushin Parari. I will definitely watch his next film.

KL 10 Patthu

What the makers of kl 10 intended to convey? The making is pretty good exploring the life of malabar people but there is no proper story. One will lose their focus easily. It could have given a break to unni mukundan but the writing failed him.

In simple words... Watching this movie was like having a perfect Malabar Biriyani. Those who doesn&#39;t know the culture of Malabar might not appreciate this movie that is just because of their ignorance. This movie carries the right essence of malabar food, foodball, light heartedness, political inclinations etc etc.
On top of that as a movie it is very natural when it comes to screenplay or dialogue. Perfect casting, especially loved the role of Any Varghees and Neeraj Madhav.
BGM is outstanding. Costume design is perfect.
One of the most underrated movie and must watch movie for it&#39;s entertainment value, technical perfection, natural characters, beautiful location, music etc.

Kl 10 is one of the best sports movie in Malayalam. Unnimukundhan played a keyrole as a sportsman, he definitely deserves a filmfare for that. Songs are also nice.Still no other romantic/sports movie happened in mollywood.
