Nowadays within the flood of the new generation movies, left right left stands apart. Its a good thing that the films made in Malayalam have gone up in standard recently, LRL takes it to the next level. Its very rare when you are totally engaged and glued to the screen for a 2.45 hrs movie. The movie talks about 3 characters who were brought up during the communist revolutionary period before Independence and some after independence in Kerala and what they go through in the present. Yes, there has been movies about this subject in the past like LalSalaam. But LRL can mark its own identity in this genre. The simple but difficult logic in movie making holds good here... the real Hero of a Movie is the script and everything else revolves around it. Murali Gopi has come up with an excellent script; dialogues well written. Director Arun Kumar presented it well. All the actors especially Indrajith and Hareesh Peradi was top notch. There were hardly few unwanted scenes and dialogues in this lengthy movie. The introduction with the LRL anthem takes you right into the mood of the movie. There were claps in the theater just when the titles were shown after the initial anthem. That energy is carried throughout the movie. Gopi Sundar has done a wonderful job with the background score. It adds to the intensity of the dialogues. One of the best movies in Malayalam in recent times, one of the best political movies of all time. There has been controversies and debates on some of the characters/events and how they are related to some real politicians; but if there are controversies thats because there's some truth shown in the movie. There's only one thing to say finally, its a must watch and you will feel like watching again. Finally when you come out of the theater, its pin drop silence. Everyone carries the characters and dialogues of the movie. Hearty congrats to everyone who worked behind this movie.
