This is a movie which will stop you and pull you backwards straight to your beautiful days.Not sure from were they get such a beautiful scripts but these days Malayalam movie rocks...!! Their own country scenic beauty adds much value to their film and i assume they don't have to do extra work to make that film look more beautiful and natural. Nivin Pauly yet again proved his talent and here with various stages of life he just dazzled with his performance. Such a beautiful and pleasant movie it was that it will be close to my heart always. After Mayakkam enna , VTV i felt this movie highly impacting and makes you travel with it. This is one hell of movie not to be missed at any cost.
A movie that crushes your heart so much and leaves you lingering with nostalgic feel.
Foreign Security officer Milla Jovovich responsible for visa clearance working out of US Embassy in London gets framed for a terrorist plot purposefully when she starts to dig few recent visa clearances suspecting it be a small part of a larger terror plan. When the mastermind of the terrorist group get to know about her understanding her being a big obstacle for their plan, they send a hit-man to take eliminate her so that those pending visas will be cleared and their men can travel to United states for planning a massive terrorist attack there. Rest of movie is about how she manages to get out of each complication one after the other escaping from the hit-man also managing to evade herself from London police in those life n death moments and how how she proves her innocence forms rest of the story
Movie is very gripping ,tense filled ,moves without any boredom. Though we seen similar movie plots before ,this was good too.Milla Jovovich known for movies like Resident evil , Ultraviolet played her part really well in this film. Apart from Milla character , her immediate boss Sam Parker n the hit-man were other engaging characters too in this movie. Still i expected a better ending then a new year saving moment yet it was overall a better crime thriller for sure. Definitely one time watchable.
Recently i seen trailer of Quantico TV Series with Priyanka Chopra as lead character, Even this tv series almost had kind of similar plot like this movie while the profession of lead characters differ.

Movie is so good especially those bonding moments between these three brothers were wonderfully made. There is a another character Dallas Winston who is a greaser too well feard by the neighbourhood , his bodylanguage was so good very apt for such a movie and i am sure we would have seen one such character in everyones life. That little escape plan , hideout moments and friendship between Ponyboy n johnny was well made too. Movie definetly has emotions at same time provides a impact of watching a gang based movie. Definetly a worthy watch for Friendship n Brotherhood & also to experiance the life of Back street boys behind the scenes.

A River Runs Through It ( 1992 )
A wonderful family drama centered around a Reverend Family where two brothers Norman ( Craig ) and Paul ( Brad Pitt ) spend their childhood near a beautiful Riverside locality in Montana were fishing is the main activity. Norman is a calm n innocent Elder one who wants to become a professional boxer and his younger brother paul very mischief n brisk wants to be a professional in Fly fishing while his father wants them to be a Minister at nearby church for preaching public. How their dreams change in time and how their life takes them to various directions while Norman becomes a Literature professor and Paul into a Reporter in Local newspaper daily. Whats more attracting in this film is that picturesque moments it captures at every frame and it was so lovely to experience it , adding to that is cute little romance portions . But i was moved by the way Brothers love , care and affection to each other was portrayed and it was definitely heart touching. I am sure everyone who has a brother would understand watching this film and will sure impress them with no doubt. Brad pitt performance was exceptional and those family get-together moments were really awesome. Be sure this movie is slow but definitely worth that experience. A must watch movie for every movie freak. Enjoy
Quote from the movie :-
"Older Norman: Like many fly fishermen in western Montana where the summer days are almost Arctic in length, I often do not start fishing until the cool of the evening. Then in the Arctic half-light of the canyon, all existence fades to a being with my soul and memories and the sounds of the Big Blackfoot River and a four-count rhythm and the hope that a fish will rise. Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the banks "

Bekas (2012) Kurdish
Set in backdrop of Iraq , its about story of two young homeless boys who are brothers by birth embark a journey with a dream of traveling to America to see their favorite superhero Superman . Elder one is polite n calm while the younger one is totally opposite but their innocence is what captures our attention throughout the film keeping us glued till the end. Even without knowing how much they are risking their life , still they proceed to cross the borders illegally pursuing their dream with just one and only thought in their mind. Their boldness for being so young is understandable especially with nothing to lose but their caring for each other is what touches our heart so much. Ending was cut bluntly just to make a point that no matter what they do or were they go , they are going to be together covering each others back at any circumstances. Ending landmine scene was excellent and also that cute little love story with so much innocence written all over , was very good to watch. This would sure be a very good Movie on Road Trip. Overall a wonderful movie not be missed .
Kakka Muttai ( 2015 )
A pure hallmark graded film with simplicity being the core content. Its been a while i seen such realistic movie from our industry and i must say it surpassed all odds placing itself in spots among best films of the decade. Who would knew that two young kids would outcast every actor in the industry with a mind-blowing acting in this film. Unlike the predecessors , i am glad this movie got so much credits which it deserved and seeing a houseful theater for such movies is so soothing to watch.
Plot looks simple and no unnecessary treatments were given to the script but the real win is capturing the beauty of slums so realistically in silver screen and showing their everyday life , their small wishes n desires , their happiness even at nothing , those were moments which gives deep thoughts to our-self. While people have so much in their life yet they desire to get more n more with no satisfaction at anything with never ending thirst to get more , but seeing those kids on the screen and how much they struggle to even fulfill their smallest desires were heart wrenching. Lucky such good films released during the time were news travels much faster in Facebook n whats-app compared to the old days were media n daily were the only go..which those days were roadblock for many such good films.
BGM was also very good in this film and having said that , depth to characterization was given more importance in this movie. Every character was important and had equally important role to play which was a great plus for the movie. Adding to that is the short run time of the film which gives a simple and clean experience for the viewers. Even the song placements were not forced but rather blends along with the movie instead of BGM and flows through the script as one. But seeing those two guys spinning the screen upside down with their performance took me back to my own childhood memories and it was such a nostalgic feel not to be missed. Overall this is sure a big time winner not because of the production house it was made , but rather for having trust on characters and extracting pure essence from them making its a complete feel good package as a whole. This is one such movie not to be missed in theaters and can be easily enjoyed with entire family. Lets appreciate such films and let it be a stepping stone for inspiring many to make more such films in future. I loved it and i cherished every minute of it. Cheers.
The Guest (2014)
A excellent action packed film which was totally crippled by a poor logic-less ending.Movie is about a Ex-Soldier who comes to hometown of his peer n close friend who died in action and reaches out to his family members to personally pass his condolences to them. While he becomes close to their family and stays there as a guest for few more days , to many things start to happen in town and to their family in short period of time with many unknown deaths around. The rest part is about who he really is and whats his role in this incidents with more unexpected blood filled ending. Movie was really okay with such a nice concept on how he handles the family n cares for them fixing their problems one after the other but not sure what went into directors mind , he decided to erase the entire script backwards one after the other finishing of the characters as it marched towards the end. Dan Stevens as Lead character David performance was very good and i would say i liked this movie a lot but i really wished if it could have been wrapped up rather in a much better way .From becoming a best action flick , this movie stepped into its own suicide mission erasing its own lose ends. Average fair

Run All Night (2015)
An incident taking place in one night where two fathers one who were close friends few hours ago before the dawn now desperately hunting each other to save their Kin. Liam neeson and Ed Harris perfectly fill those roles keeping the movie high on its toes. I would say action package was very less in this film especially comparing it with liams precious hit Taken and it also felt like watching a altered version of John Wick movie. Adding to that Liam is getting aged and he is not as fast as he used to be before. But yet the dialogues were terrific and this movie has its own jaw dropping moments. That little conversation at the coffee shop and that last scene when Liam takes a final shot at Ed those emotions were very perfectly captured n so apt for the film. Not the best of liam but not a movie to be skipped. Indeed they both crossed the line together , watch the film to understand it more.
Once Upon a Time in Anatolia ( 2011 ) Turkish
There couldn't be any such director who could talk more visually and one who creates more impact to the eyes then the heart. And for very reason This legend movie maker Nuri Bilge Ceylan always remain in my top list when it comes to visually stunning films.A murder with few detectives , prosecutor and a government appointed doctor undertake a journey through mountains in search of dead body of the victim to close up the case while the murder confessed himself about the killing but the hard part is that he forgot the exact place where he dumped the body as being heavily drunk during the incident. Being a huge terrain in Anatolian steppes with every curves n bends look very similar , it becomes a nightmare for the search team to exactly identify the location and a journey which started few yards now takes them on a longest and unforgettable ride they could ever imagined. While the story rest asides at one end , the other side is the breezy air , that cool shades of trees dancing with the breeze at night , that train passage at hilltop or the water reservoir at every bend , all these small frames catches up to us giving us a complete feel good experience throughout the film. Nuri always imprints his nativity in all his films giving us a glimpse of people lifestyle where the film was shot and he rather believes in making viewers experience that virtual beauty by themselves and to travel along with the movie. With hardly no or very few BGM scores here and there , but solely relying on natural sounds blending itself to the visuals makes this movie unique. A movie to be experienced and not to be missed.
