Palery Manikyam the great movie
Ranjith’s ‘Palery Manikyam, Oru Pathirakolapaathakathinte Katha’ delivers what was expected out of it. Scripted well and narrated in an excellent manner, the film begins in the 1950’s, then brings us to the present and then shuttles between the past and the present and in between narrating an interesting story, makes references to many things of social and political significance. A film that stands out in quality, ‘Palery Manikyam…’ is in fact multilayered and works on different planes. But whether the film will work out at the box office is uncertain.
The story begins in the 1950’s in Palery, when a young girl Manikyam (Mythili) is found dead in the most mysterious of manners one night. The very same night, a young guy is found dead by the river in the village. And the very same night, a child is born in the village.
Cut, to the present. The child that was born on that day is now a grown up man, Haridas (Mammootty). Haridas, an investigator based in Delhi, sets out to unravel the mysteries surrounding the death of Manikyam, the 20-year old girl who died, or perhaps was killed, the very same night he was born. He is accompanied by Sarayu (Gauri Munjal), a crime analyst, with whom Haridas, who is married and has a family of his own, has an affair. Haridas, when he makes his exploration into the happenings that happened over half a century back, seems to be seeing it all as happening in front of his eyes. (The film merges the past and present in a single frame in a brilliant manner). Things move on, from one character to another and it all takes a twist with the introduction of Ahmed Haji (Mammootty), a rich landlord who lived in the 1950’s. The revelation that Haridas makes about Ahmed Haji sort of startles and shocks Sarayu. And from here the story takes off, to end in a totally unpredictable and impressive manner.
It’s the over-all structure and the narration that makes ‘Palery Manikyam…’ stand out among the films that come out these days. The strain that Ranjith, his team and the producers Maha Subair and A.V.Anoop have taken to make this film a reality has to be appreciated. But since the film doesn’t have much of the usual box office kind of ingredients, it may not work out with Mammootty fans or the lovers of commercial movie. But still, it’s definitely one of those films which could effect a change in the sensibilities of the average Malayalee film viewers. Hats off to Ranjith and crew.

Kappal muthalali enjoying kerala
The director who specialises in making Slapstick comedies Thaha is back to business with the new movie titled as ‘Kappal Muthalali’. Featuring popular television and stage star Ramesh Pisharaady as the hero, the movie will give space to Sarayu to play the female lead of the movie.

This hilarious movie which is continuing with its shoot at Perumbavoor will be cinematographed by Shamdut.
Thaha had been successful in creating slapstick from the very beginning of his career with hit films like ‘Mookilla Rajyathu’, Varabhalam and Ee Parakkum Thalika. But of late, his movies like ‘Hailasa’ and ‘Thekkaekara’ super fast didn't yield the expected results at the Box Office.

Neelathamara [2009] lal jose film
Neelathamara
“Neelathamara is my renewed Confidence” (Sreejith Guruvayur)
If I were to get the state level selection that I was sure in the 10th standard,
I would have been on a cricket pitch instead of chiseling the faces of
characters for the silver screen!
Now look where I am and where is that school
cricket team captain who could not think of anything
other than Cricket!! That is Life….
and I am more than happy about what I achieved than what I did not…
Neelathamara for me is the reiteration of confidence in my own craft and art,
and that has been made possible by my mentor, director Lal Jose.
He came to my life when I was going through the worst period both
professionally and personally.
And the film `Classmates’ gave me the spirit to pull ahead in life.
Though some of you who read this may feel that what I say is very personal;
Let me tell you, if anything is worth mentioning it is my association
with this director and his courage to showcase new talents to the
mainstream industry I was idling away my time after tenth as
I was quite dejected with life. I used to be popular in and around
my hometown as a growing cricket talent.
My dreams progressed steadily as I was selected in school and
won matches for school.
I did not feel guilty of leaving important academic sessions for
cricket as my school authorities promised that my plus two-
admission is guaranteed.
By some prejudice I was denied admission where I hoped to get in.
My sporting talent was overlooked and I did not get any special preference…
One of my relatives who worked in films suggested that
I could get some occupation in film industry
and landed in the job of a make up assistant.
I have been fortunate enough to get training under
excellent craftsmen like Pattanam Rasheed and Pattanam Shah.
Pattanam Rasheed gave me a clear idea about
the creative contribution of a make up artist
in the total process of film making.. When Lal sir
called me to be in-charge of the make up department of `Mulla’
I was clear about what he expects from me.
I was watching myself throughout the shooting of Mulla.
At the time of preparations for Neelathamara,
I knew that he has confidence in me but I have to deliver
more than what he expects.
The difficulty in my work is the lack of factual understanding
about growth of make up industry outside Kerala and India.
Very few people in our industry have the awareness of new
techniques and technology in make up which is growing
at a supersonic pace.
Our industry is struggling hard to keep up with the
changes outside as we spent very less amount of
total film budget for new materials and techniques
related to make up.
Here in Neelathamara I have got the golden opportunity
to practice my art and craft using newer materials and
techniques.
When you see the film you will come across same actors
doing roles at the beginning and end of a time span of
30 years. I now wish to learn more to take up greater
challenges.
I wouldn’t mind trying for overseas training say
for even a day … Don’t mistake my attitude!!! See…
Neelathamara has done wonders to my level of confidence…!
