Mayaanadhi

As the name sounds, this is a mystic movie. Actually if you think, there's nothing new. And the story is somewhat typical. But it's music, editing and some other technical aspects given this the state it deserves. Enjoyed every minute.

After watching its clueless trailer, I thought it to be another misfire from aashiq Abu after gangster and rani padmini but I was wrong. Before mayanadhi, the last time I saw a realistic love story in malayalam was Annayum Rasoolum. Mayanadhi narrates the complicated and poignant love story of a runaway criminal Maathan and struggling actress aparna. Tovino, aishwarya and rest of the cast performed their roles well but the real show stealer is soubin who proves that for an actor only one scene and no dialogues are enough to strike an impact among audience. Climax leaves a lump on your throat. You feel like a fresh air coming slowly on your face while watching mayanadhi. Maayanadhi is Aashiq Abu's best work till date.

Acting wise,script wise,direction wise,camerawise one of the best love movies of this generation malayalam cinema

Like all romantic movies, this one dares to recreate a realistic and gruesome love story of a softhearted boy who struggles to win over difficult situation boldly but succumbs at the hands of heartless people around him who consider love a trap certifying it a taboo. In the end, inspires hope with the suffering of lonely lover wearing a crown which has become meaningless.

Mathan (Tovino) is on the run after accidently killing policeman. He is in love with Aparna (Aishwarya), a struggling actress who does not trust him due to an incident in the past.

Mathan keeps meeting her in order to woo her and at the same time the police are closing on in him.

The story is well presented and you feel for the love of mathan and Aparna. The cinematography is excellent.

Tovino and Aishwarya are amazing and they have excellent chemistry which eleviates the movie.

The supporting cast perform well but the person who stands out with a 1 minute screen time is Soubin Shahir. Just loved his cameo specially since it was sudden and unexpected and performed well.

The climax is heart breaking but you will enjoy it.
