Kuttisrank shows its quality and difference in feel from shot 1 itself. Very different approach from Shaji.N.Karun. The film which lasted 2.10 hours was one of the finest i have watched in recent times, not as a mammootty fan, but as a true film lover. I would have loved a palerimanikyam style narration of the story, while this ones a little complicated , but it adds beauty to the masterpiece. The main positive of the movie is its casting. I was wowing a lot watching ikkas acting. Even though he ain't much different in the three stories physically, He is totally refreshing in each story though his mannerisms and dialog delivery. A special mention must be made for his chavittunadakam play, where we see a perfect play of how an actor differentiates between a film acting and an art form. I loved it!! Kuttisrank doesn't reveal more, no clue of his religion, as he is seen in Muslim, Christian and hindu surroundings, and that exactly what the directed aimed. Sureshkrishna delivered his best till date performance , he just rocked. The mammootty - suresh krishna combo scenes made the 2nd story the best part of the movie. Among the actresses, Kamalini Mukherji was really superb. She was looking good, and had a great charm acting perfectly done. Padmapriya was good, and Meenakumari was OK.

The camera and choreography gets a hats off again, as they have done their characters really well.

Overall, Its a must watch movie for true movie lovers, whatever the fate of the movie is.

Rating :9/10

The most hyped malayalam movie of the year, has gave what it promised, and more. The film is indeed the best period movie taken in India. For malyalies, this is a film that makes you proud to step on the lands, where these great warriors fought. The film is rich in content and technical wise. All the characters did their part well, Especially Mammootty, Sarathkumar and Manoj.K.Jayan. The makers don't have an intention to make the superstar rich with a great introduction scene and all for his fans. They maintain this standard thorughout the movie. Its not about how much each characters scores. The film is set up very beautifully in the 18th century. One thing i found interesting was the Character transition of Pazhassiraja. The king his is found with pleasant face in the beginning and with the film the character changes to a bold faced one. Thats was brilliantly done by mammootty. In fights, Mammootty was good , But Sarathkumar outplayed him in that. Manoj.K.Jayan and devan has played a role that will bring us a great feeling of patriotrism. You, whether whose fan , will clap for some scenes, especially when you see the British flag burning and the mammoottys 3rd fight alone. The team has proved that this small industry can make such huge movies. Hariharan was excellent in camera-work. MT did good work and gave some mind blowind dialogues. Resul pookutty gave our ears a mighty treat. Pookkutty said this film is like Gladiator and all. But , I don't think so. Gladiator is nothing compared to Pazhassiraja. Illayarajas music was good. And the song Adiyushasandhya rocks. Watch it and be proud of Kerala and Malluwood.
