Utharam

Utharam (The Answer) is a brilliantly made film. If you're in with a limited budget, and want to pull-off a classic with that, this one is a textbook for you. Realistic conversations, subtle acting, and elegant exchanges makes the film a worthwhile watch.

Plot synopsis:

A seemingly very normal day has Mathew Joseph (Sukumaran) devastated as he learns about the mysterious death of his wife, Seleena, a renowned poet. His best friend, investigative journalist P.B. Nair aka Balu (Mammooty) is equally haunted when he learns that it was a suicide. Unable to find any reasonable motive, Mathew asks Balu to probe the death of Selena from every angle. A disturbed, yet intrigued Balu sets out to uncover her enigmatic past, in hope of finding the answer (Utharam) of what lead to her suicide.

I cannot believe I am watching it only in 2019, better late than never. Sukumaran is fantastic in this film. A simple story told in a beautiful manner. Highly recommended.

Utharam Has to be one of the best in its genre. Sadly it s not talked about much. If you really want to watch a good investigation/mystery cinema in malayalam,this has to be It. Worth The Watch.

A deep searching journey down the life and evolution of a poetess and wife who meets a sudden death which could be suicide or accident. Balu (mammmooty) starts the investigation down the lane of life. In his journey, he meets up with her childhood friend who lost track of her down the memory lane.. Recreating the past, the movie comes to a very satisfying end..

The high degree of practical improvisation ability of a journalist shows in Mammooty's character, implemented and presented seamlessly...

An awesome movie, with awesome revelations : "Irul veenoridavazhiyil evide vechaarente cheru kai vilakkum edutherinju.."

It may look ordinary movie to anyone. But it stand out as one of the most unique feature malayalam movies at all time. Because it has the realistic approach and fine finishing. A wonderful movie to watch with family.
