Booked for CHARLIE after reading the positive reviews on FK and also because I like his selection of movies. In his short career DQ has tried different flavours and succeeded to a great extent ex. - NPCB, Njan,UH and now Charlie to that list.In one line the movie is about Tessa (shown as a wannabe Nomad) who get curious about another do-gooder nomad, Charlie and falls in love with him based on the positive energy he spreads he spreads all around and her quest to find him. This is translated to screen adding several subplots involving various characters who were/are part of Charlies life until she meets him in climax.
Movies like these with low entertainment quo needs a good screenplay, fine performances and a sound direction to keep the viewers interested and CHarlie has just that. Kudos to Martin and his team.
Martin - Have not seen ABCD but liked Best Actor very much. These kind of movies are more likely to fall into documentary mode and make viewers yawn if not directed well. Martin has done splendid job here.
DQ - A great performance which has a LALettan touch most of the time. When you have to do a care free and natural act, who else but LALettan to look upon and be inspired. Credits to DQ, as it has come of in a good way and does not look awkward, copied or forced. His act keeps the movie glued through out.
Parvathy - Has more or equal screen time as DQ and has come up with a strong performance. Would love to see this pair doing a lot more movies in future.
Nedumudi Venu - ALways good but here he is a level above.
Other cast and technicians - Very good.
Again the movie is very rich, colourful with a good feel throughout. The story is independent of mileu that can happen anywhere.
If at all any shortcoming for me, it would be that Tessa was infatuated by Charlies acts and not in love with him and that they end the movie in a platonic way.
Over all I liked the movie very much.
Rating : 3.5/5
