Hi, I'm from Tamilnadu (Tamilian). I can very much speak & understand Malayalam. One thing I want to highlight a point is that Malayalam Film industry especially in the past one decade has gone to the height of World classics... Anjali Menon's contribution to Malayalam Film industry is one of the remarkable count. Yes, she does it again with Bangalore Days... Kudos to her. I have seen this Movie, yesterday at Chennai. Very pleasant & enjoyable ride.... All the actors did their best. Especially, Fahad Fazil,Dulquar Salman,Nivin Pauly & cute smiling angel Nazriya does their roles perfectly. Once again, Anjali keep rocking. I love to watch all your future movies .... Rgds, Hari. (Your Tamilian Fan from Chennai).

I've watched so many films but this movie is quite different and unique.

Amazing writing, Direction, Cinematography and wonderful acting no doubt.

This is the quality of an Indian cinema and everyone should watch this movie once.

Everything is so good, emotional and mesmerizing.

I do not know Malayalam language but didn't feel a language barrier for a single moment.

Must watch movie

Kudos to the whole team of this movie.

,it is a simple one about three cousins and how their lives have unfolded. I have seen similar movies before but what makes Bangalore Days different is the narration. You get a pleasant feeling throughout the movie. One particular that stands out is when Das and Divya go to meet Natasha's parents. All the lead actors have done justice to their role. Music(both songs and background score)is brilliant.

The stories of the silver screen and fairy tales make us believe that it is worthwhile to grasp that one chance at love. They convince us that it the single most crucial fight that one has to win. Overcoming that would translate to eternal bliss. It is happiness afterwards, forever and ever. Err... wrong answer.

In a very entertaining way, combining the scenic backgrounds of Kerala and Bangaluru, as well as the pleasing youthful features of the good looking actors, the story tries to tell us in a subtle way that it is not all hunky-dory when and especially after one finds love. It is an eternal struggle to keep the flames alive. Even if the ember stays aglow, there are too many interferences that threatened its harmony. In modern living, with the relaxation of rigid social restrictions that used to prevail and the scream of empowerment, no one can be pinned down anymore. Everybody is free to do what he (or she) wants. Is that daring to be different, to empower oneself, defiance to status or plain lazy to uphold the age-old agreed norms that rock the whole fabric of marital bliss? Or is it that the desire to defend the holy institution of marriage that makes one overlook or tolerate the many imperfections of the other?

The story revolves around three cousins (Kuttan, Arjun and Divya) who are close as thick as thieves sharing an unforgettable childhood and the same sense of humour.

Arjun, a son of an army man, went wayward after his parents divorced. We get the sense that he attributes his failure in life to his parents' separation. From a top student, he ended up being a dirt-bike racer and an occasional mechanic. His love interest turns out to be wheelchair-bound paraplegic. The positive thing about the film is the paraplegic character actually had a positive. Unlike a typical India movie where a far from 'perfect' person will usually sacrifice her life, here she is paved the way for a possible happy experience.

Happy forever and ever?

Kuttan is a goody-two-shoes who followed all the pointers given by his parents and is a software engineer. One day, Kuttan's father disappeared from their home. He left a note citing his desire to find peace and purpose in life. A subsequent letter clarifies that he actually must be enjoying himself in the laid back beaches of Goa, away from the smothering of his wife, Kuttan's mother. Kuttan also realises that his mother, though meaning well, could be quite a pain in the neck when she moved in with him.

Meanwhile, Kuttan is also finding love, naively thinking that a nice traditional Kerala girl would be ideal. His first love, a stewardess, proved disappointing. She used him to get back to her ex-boyfriend!

Divya, the only female of the trio, undergoes an arranged marriage to Shiva. After the wedding, Shiva and Divya move to Bangalore. By a twist of fate, her cousins land up in Bangalore. Divya soon discovers that her husband is far from intimate. Their marriage goes through a tailspin. Soon it is found that Shiva keeps a dark secret from his past.

The rest of the story is in trying to tie up everybody's life to a resolution and a happy ending. Inserted subtly into scenes are cryptic messages which tend to answer itself. One visible message is how Indians tend to parrot Western's way of dressing and embracing their culture while the Westerners look highly at the Indian way of living and cannot wait to immerse into them.

At the end of the film, Kuttan, who was looking out for a typical Bharat Natyam dancing Malayalee with long pleats for matrimony, found one in Michelle, a Caucasian girl fitting the above description!

It gives me indescribable pleasure. It's really a very soft, lovely & romantic film. The musics were also very good although I didn't get them clearly! Acting was good by the role characters. The best thing here is the plot & the flow of the moments. It also provides some little good messages regarding life. I had not been little bored watching it. It touched my heart. Best one!

Loved this movie so much that I watched it so many times and made others also watch and translated it to them.. enjoyed each and every character of the movie and lived the momemts of the film...three lives, their ambitions and life and how it unfolds along the passage of time. It actually gave me strength and belief to trust THE CONTENT of Malayalam movies these days.

In the beginning, I couldn't much understand where the story was heading, but eventually it started feeling good. Had the feeling of watching a movie that I could relate myself with, after a long time. ANd thats probably why I loved the movie.Comedy was something I really loved. All of this, after I watched the movie with subtitles(I don't know Malayalam). And I can't imagine how I would have felt had I known Malayalam. Edit: I have watched this movie three times, three days in a row, which has never happened for me with any other movie. The more I watched it, the more I am loving it.

A mustwatch Malayalam Masterpiece. Love and it's multi angle rays ... Completes their successful journey with realy outstanding storylines.

Best work of those actors who worked in this beautiful film Nazriya is Cute 😍

Wonderful acting by everyone, beautiful direction. Such a fragile story carried along very nicely.

Wow Everyone has performed so well BGM is so Good The character building and story is superb Every Indian should watch this masterpiece.

The movie is always fresh and keeps you busy no matter how many times you see it. One of the gems of Indian cinema and Malayalam Cinema is at its best

Phenomenal movie!

Dulquer Salman,Nazriya Nazim,Nivin Pauly,Parvathy,Fahadh Fassil done their role superbly... Its story of 3 cousins Arjun,Divya & Kuttan's childhood dream of moving to Banglore. Along with that the story tells us the thoughts of this generation,their complications,love intrests,& all.

Must watch movie full of Romance & Drama.

I am a native of Maharashtra having Marathi as my mother tongue. This was my first Malayalam movie. And I am completely in love with the Malayalam film industry. 'Bangalore Days' is just awesome. Don't miss this one. Pros: 1. Perfect casting- It seems each character is living the role for long. 2. Performances- Almost all the actors including the lead and supporting cast has done a splendid job. Although Parvathy is the show-stealer in every scene of her, her co-stars Dilquer, Nazariya, Naveen are too good in this feel-good flick. Fahadh's portrayal of Das is commendable as well. 3. Characterization- I just fell in love with Parvathy's character of RJ Sarah. Her voice and charm give so many positive vibes. Also, the dialogues and her expressions are priceless. 4. Plot and execution- Three characters each having 2 stories running, dozens of sub-characters, story going back and forth yet all this is tied together with brilliance.

Cons: Fahadh doesn't suit in the role of Shiva. I was not convinced to see the silent Das getting shown as ruthless rider Shiva. The relationship between Kuttan and Meenakshi unconvincingly blossomed in minutes which for a moment was like a dream of Kuttan.

Wonderful script and mindblowing direction.. hatsoff to Anjali Menon..

Finally, done watching...! *_*

Cinematography ? Perfect, No lead, No lag.. Just as much as you'd want to see...! :D

And whats about the storytelling... ? ~ Life, As it goes on.. yup, its that simple and lovely also, you might say! ;)

and i must also mention the music. the south Indian music.. its too lively and engaging! :D

it's a 7.7/10. (y)

The film picturize the story of 3 cousins from Kerala and their love life which predominantly develops in the city of Bangalore. With 3 different story tracks, it is a difficult to package in to a movie format, but the screen play & direction by Anjali Menon make it look easy. The treatment of the story is appropriate and realistic. The cinematography is nice, conveying more with less words. Background score and music is suited to the movie although there are some instances of plagiarism. The cast is brilliant and each just goes in to the skin of character. Dulquer, Nivin, Fahad, Nazria, Isha, Nithya and Parvathy each stars in their own right does justice to their roles.

This is a story of three malayali cousins and fast friends whose lives have parted since childhood but meet back again in the beautiful Bangalore city. Kuttan in search of dream wife has high expectations but fails to find the right girl. Kunjus marriage is falling apart as her husband has not overcome his past love. Aju, a vagabond by nature, has to make the choice between proving himself to the society and proving his love. Will they succeed in stablizing their life? The film reveals their tales.

Amazingly done movie. Loved the locations and the beauty of these Indian cities.

Bangalore Days" is an absolute burst of life, a film that doesn't just tell a story but invites you to live it alongside its characters. At its heart, this movie is a delightful exploration of dreams, aspirations, and the undeniable pull of friendship, following three cousins as they embark on an adventure to the bustling city of Bangalore The narrative gracefully navigates the individual journeys of these three twenty-somethings, depicting how each adapts to the myriad twists and turns that life throws their way. Given its stellar ensemble cast, expectations for "Bangalore Days" were understandably sky-high, and I can confidently say it not only meets but unequivocally surpasses the hype. The film is a masterclass in seamless transitions, imbued with genuinely witty humor, and boasts a perfectly congenial runtime of 170 minutes. What truly sets it apart, however, is its incredibly heartwarming and relatable storyline. All these elements, bolstered by a truly exquisite array of performances, coalesce to create a film that is nothing short of a complete cinematic package.

Best malayalam movie of the year so far, and the best of anjali menon. A colorful movie with lots of humor, emotion, and entertainment. Very good performance from Fahad, Nivin, Dulkhar, nasria and Parvathy Menon. The success of the Director is that such a long movie does not make you feel bore even for a second. A movie which can be enjoyed by all generations. The songs and background music are good.Only thing which I didn't like bout the movie is its climax, which is quite ordinary. I wonder how such a beautiful movie ended in such a silly manner. But all other aspects are positive.

A must watch for all movie lovers.

Anjali Menon dropped a masterclass.. After a successful spell in USTAD HOTEL... She has again created a wonderful film with DQ in it.. However unlike other films, this film produces a wide range of main characters.. Each character has different perspectives and personality, but all come together with unbelievable bond .

As u can see, Cousins are the best friends one should have in there life.

As a tamilian, I've watched this film too many times, and I dont get bored at all, that's how good this film is. Malayalam cinema makers need to be protected and especially feel good films like Bangalore Days. Finally i can review this. Songs, bgm, comedy, emotional scenes are really nice and their placements are just perfect. Dulquer anna, Nazriya ma'am, Faahadh anna were all superb. Their performances were brilliant and fun to watch, however Nivin anna could've done so much better, overall, a Malayalam film that everyone should watch, absolute cinema.

The first thing that came in my mind is Anjali menon, I have just started to see Malyalam cinema and i have this desire to meet Anjali and tell personally how incredible work she is doing. Story is soul of the movie, a real hero in true sense. I am seeing a pattern in her work , weather it's her first movie Manjadikuru or ustad hotel, writing is superb.she presents her philosophy very gently by not being over the top. Banglore days is no exception to this pattern.you will love this cinema. outstanding background score,great acting and i read somewhere a line by a critic weather Salman Dulkar have ever given a bad movie and no, he hasn't. that's seems very much true. Same goes for Nivin Polly, he too has delivered a great performance. overall a must watch cinema. You will not be disappointed.

This a top class movie i have ever seen in Malayalam & a great applauds to its actors & its entire crew for throwing up such a perfect film.... Also good work from the director of the movie as she has done her direction in a beautiful manner which will tempt the people to see it once more... this movie is a perfect entertainer and people who did not watch it till now much watch it for gods sake as it is a perfectly balanced film... For this movie i would like give a rating of 9/10....... we expect the same kind of movies from all Malayalam directors in the future
