How Old Are You? (2014) Malayalam
" Among the 14 Primer Ministers in India Only one person is the women. Out of 15 presidents Only one person is the women , Is it because there werent any talented women ? or Is it because someone else is deciding on her dreams limit and validity ? Who decides the expiry date of a women ~ Nirupama "
Not sure what happened to molly-wood , but there is sudden shift in their film making and seems they happen to produce more better films every day. This film is just one from the process of its transformation and i am glad Indian films are started making movies which are finally making some sense for the kind of talent pool we have.
Movie is about a normal housewife working in a revenue department and managing her day to day role as a wife and a mother. Her behavior and life style is hugely affected because of her routine monotonous desk job for last 14 years. She has became lazy and she also started to feel that impact in her life as she is getting aged. Her confidence and moral is so down that people even find her very odd. Things take a wild turn when a expected Invitation comes in her way and from then on her life travels through a roller coaster ride. When everyone stopped believing her that includes her husband and daughter , she had to transform herself to achieve her dream to prove she is not the one they think she is and she does it in great style. Watch the movie to see it in more details and to experience the beauty of it.
Manju Warrier as Nirupama who is the real protagonist in this movie has done a stunning jaw dropping performance throughout the movie. The first half with her innocence and later half with her confidence takes this movie to a all new level. Be it the way when she cries for her daughter at airport or the way she talks to her husband rejecting his request to come to Ireland or her transmission during intermission , they were just mind blowing. That part when her college friend meet her after 15 years and the way she helps Nirupama to boost her confidence and to make her understand that it is not the real her what she saw in college , that scene in the college was just osm. The last 20 min was just stunning and very mich inspiring. I am sure this is one movie everyone should watch and mostly every women should watch. This movie brings the best if women what no men could ever understand their feelings and they way their dreams are destroyed in name of family, the sacrifices they make for us so we could run our life in our way this movie potrays everything their heart , their pain , their hurt behind every tears ..this movie for sure is a wonderful experiance to watch. This can be a eye opener for many. This now adds up to my best favorite movies in malayalam and this is just my opinon .
This movie ends with below quote which says it all.....
" Your Dream is Your Signature "
