¤Asif Ali¤Sunny Wayne¤MOSAYILE KUTHIRA MEENUKAL¤Visual Treat~Excellent Reports

[KARNAN]

A queer title, an impressive cast and an
uncommon location - Mosayile Kuthira
Meenukal has every ingredient to snag your
fancy. Canned at the quaint locales of
Lakshadweep, the film is high on freshness
quotient and promises a high-definition
look at the life of islanders. “It’s basically a
feel-good entertainer flavoured with subtle
humour,” says director Ajith Pillai. ‘Mosa’
means huge wave in local parlance and
‘kuthira meen’ is the predatory swordfish
which preys on others for survival. “Their
selfish nature is similar to that of humans
and the film tries to draw a parallel between
the two. All the charters in the film share this
common trait,” he adds.
Though the storyline springs from a serious
philosophy, Ajith says the film has more of a
breezy, fun-oriented feel to it. “The film is a
fine blend of drama, entertainment, humour
and romance. Though not a thriller it also
has an element of suspense. You can call it a
feel-good romantic drama,” he explains.
Mosayile Kuthira Meenukal is woven around
the chance encounter between four
characters played Asif Ali, Sunny Wayne,
Swati Reddy and Janani Iyer. “Asif plays Alex
Kurien, a rich brat born with a silver spoon
in his mouth. Sunny Wayne appears on
screen as Akbar Ali, a fisherman. The natives
of Lakshadweep speak a dialect of
Malayalam which is slightly difficult to
decipher. Akbar is an islander and he uses
that particular slang,” he says. Asif is paired
opposite Janani Iyer who plays a chirpy
Kochi girl who travels all the way to
Lakshadweep to join the postal department
there. Swati Reddy plays Isa, a marine
researcher. ”Contrary to her looks she plays
a strong and bold character in the film, not
an orthodox Muslim woman,” he adds.
Nedumudi Venu, Nishant Sagar, Jojo and
Chemban Vinod are also part of the cast.
Shot at the scenic coastline of Lakshadweep,
location is one major highlight of the film.
“You cannot rip the story off its premises.
The film shows situations and incidents that
can happen only in Lakshadweep. MKM is
the second Malayalam film to be shot at the
island after a long time, the other being
Ramu Kariat’s Dweepu,” he says. Andaman
Islands were another location for the film
and the climax scenes were shot at a
deserted island nearly two-and-a-half hours
from Port Blair. The crew had to can the last
shots in raging weather and Ajith says it
was a scary trip back to the mainland. “That
was a particularly stormy day and though
there was an alert from the coastguard we
were unaware of it. The sea was so rough
that it took us nearly 8 hours to comeback
alive,” he says.
Though the film seems to be bursting with
youthful energy the director says it’s a
family-oriented outing.
“You cannot tag it as new-gen or youth-
oriented film. It caters to all sections of
audience.” MKM also boasts of a brilliant
crew as it has Prashant Pillai scoring the
music and Abhinandhan Ramanujam
cranking the camera. The duo is joining
hands once again after last year’s musical
blockbuster Amen.
The film produced by Niyas Ismail hits the
screens today.
