I might want to elaborate a bit here ...so if you find this tedious ...Kshemi

Kannur raashtriya pashchathalathil oru pranaya kadha ennu churiki parayam . Pakshe yatharthathil kannurile political atmosphere aviduthe aalukalude jeevitham enghane influence cheyunnu ..control cheyunnu ennathu kazhchakaranil ethikan pranayam oru easy tool ayi annu use cheythitu ullathu.

Adhiyathe kurachu bhagam kadhapashchathalavum kadhapatrangalum establish cheyyal annu . Oru serious moodil thanne muzhuvan cinemayum kadannu povumo ennu samshayicha nimishangal. Malayalathile mun political cinemakalil onnum kaanatha (adhava njan kaanatha) chila kaariyangal annu ah sequencesil director kaanichitu ullathu.....which was sort of revelation for me.

For instance ...cheyatha oru crimeinu political reasons kaaranam oru character jailil povunnu...the dynamics of this character and the people ...how they look up to this act ...gambheeram ayi convey cheythitundu ... This guy take pride in what he does because of his political ideology ..whether its Kaavi or chuvappu ...these people don't give a damn to their own life and the family .....Oro raashtriya kolavathakathekurichu kelkumpo oru sadaranakarante chintha ...But Why ?? ennu annu ....athinte oru psychological fabric ee cinema kaanumpo manasilavum .

Breadwinner aya male member jailil povumpo party ah veedinte samrakshanam ettuedukunathum mattum aya scenes ..kidu ...because what is shown is a mechanism ...a process that they follow ...allathe partyude vishala mansakatha glorify cheyuka alla ...Not sure how far they have stretched the cinematic liberty but looks real.

Athupole women folks in these families are also politically inclined enna reethyil annu cinemayil present cheythitu ullathu ...they are content and find no wrong what their men are upto ....guess ee party gramangal ennu parayunathu ....its a different deal altogether ....central keralayil oru aalude logic alla avviduthe aalukalude logic ennu thonnum (mel paranjha pala kaariyangalum cinemayil BJP ayi project cheytha alukalkude familyil nadakunathu annu ...so don't assume that am up for communist bashing or something )


Now the film shifts to Mysore ...Dry politicsil ninum oru soothing beautiful romance ....Refreshing , realistic , emotional quotient (damn damn high ) ...Kidilan track annu ethu.
proposal , break up ..reunion ...elllam its like wow ...Damn real to the core

Chuttupaadum kandu sheelicha violent atmosphereil ottum poruthapettu povan kazhiyatha randu peru bond cheyumpo undavunna prayanam valare manohoram ayi kaanichitundu

Shane Nigam ....chekkanu oru raw energy undu ...so whatever he does on screen look like he is that actual person who is going through whatever he is going through...compelling screen presence and engaging actor .

Nimisha .....Remember watching her first still from Thondi and I was like " enthu kolam annu ....why can't they get a good looking girl " pakshe thonidyile chila scenes kandapo ente reaction ..... Such a genuine a performance ...amazing actor ....adhiya randu cinemayil back to back knock out perfo

Eyide kanda pala cinemakailum ulla specialty supporting actors annu ....cheriya roleil varunavaru okke mikacha abhinayam ...ee cinemayilum athe pole thanne ...3-4 scenesil vannu povunnavaru okke valare effective annu ...

Songs ....2-3 ennam undu .....cinemayude mood and flow....athinu cent percent anuyojyam aya songs ...John P Varkey is a find ...ellam super melodies

Cinematography......Top class ...difficult aya chase sequence okke ushaar ayitu capture cheythitundu ...

Avsana bhagam avumpo kurachu predictable annu ..but hey this ain't a suspense thriller ...my friend thought they were stretching but i was so involved that i didn't feel any lag ...And i liked the climax ....very optimistic ...

Director Ajith Kumar .....Malayala cinemayude talented directorile latest addition ..the kind of sensitivity and maturity he brought in into the narration of the film is just brilliant..

Big thanks for not resorting to any cliche wherever he could ..

Anyanaatil padikunna naayikayude samrakshanam ettu edutha aunty sthiram kaanarulla oru pivotal spy aavunilla ...

oru potential violent atmosphereil annu pranayam veetukaaru ariyunathu ....pakshe avvide adi pidi ...melodrama ella ...

Naayika No parayumpo emotional blackmail ella ...but he just express what he thought about her

Naayikayude kootukari mediator aavunilla ......

These are few scenes where I thought the director was super smart and didn't go with what the audience would have expected considering how we are conditioned over the years.

I am really happy the new set of directors are dealing cinema with so much maturity and intelligence. Nammade cinemayude future safe annu.

Eeda for me worked in two different ways .....oru side am in awe of the romance ...maruvashathu there is a simmering frustration about our politics of hate.
Cinemayil ee randu factorum valare effective ayi...manoharam aayi blend cheythitundu

I will go with a 4.5/5 as just saw the film yesterday ....trying to watch again this week ...second time watchil mushipikal undu ennu ratign kurayam ...
