Thoughts on Koothara (2014): A jot down

Excited to catch this flick, finally!

Thoughts:

Transition between scenes feels abrupt and incomplete, a reason which dampens the watching experience. The scenes itself feel the same, but as an audience, you can make out what’s happening. The pacing is fast.

Music and scores are definitely driving this movie.
Pinellam sulaan…..ohhhh sulaan.

Bhagath (Kubrin) and Sunny Wayne (Ram) bring good energy to portray their characters. Tovino (Tharun) is the straggler that gets along with their mischief and doings, but has an edge towards him, which we come to realise towards the end. Can see the trajectory of Tovino’s acting chops since this outing. His character didn’t have to screw Ram over in the end, which left a bitter taste in the mouth.

Feels good to traverse with the trio, no matter the outcome through each segment of their life.

The segment with Ustad Saali felt like a drag and wasn’t convincing enough.

Gopi Sundar — deserves a special mention, with the lyricist crew. What an unconventional but awesome soundtrack ♥️

My favourites are Bye Bye and the Country Song. More recently, Vasudeva Mukunda and Avasanamayi have made it to my playlist, following my watch

Props to Srinath and Vini for taking on a more varied subject and bringing it onscreen. The first half itself has a lot of fans for the accurate depiction of a B.Tech student’s life and surroundings. Faltered towards the end, but never forgotten after all these years. A good coming-of-age attempt.

Sainaba Moo***daa!!!

Black (2004) - Raw, Gritty and Stylish

"Black: The man from Darkness" Neo-noir films have that magical allure to excite people and to compel them to explore the greyer areas of the drama called life. For people that enjoy and have a sense of morbid curiosity about what happens in the darker avenues of life, this genre is a definite route to escapism. Black is one such attempt from the famed Ranjith-Mammooty combination and I respect the superstar for choosing such a dark and complex subject and playing the role to perfection. Churned from actor Lal's own Lal Release, Karikamuri Shanmughan or Kumbhari is an iconic character in Mammootty's long alley of iconic career characters and holds an undoubted sense of swag to this day.

Rosapoo (2018) - An Offbeat attempt at something bold

Rosapoo Movie Poster Source: IMBD Being an avid fan of films that handle quirky subjects, Rosapoo is one such effort from Malayalam Cinema, that remains unexplored by many. Handling the subject of the adult film industry that's set on the backdrop of the late nineties and early noughties, and it's impact on churning films that reigned supreme in the cinema kottakas (theaters) at that time . It provides a curious snapshot of those forgotten and indecorous days of old, in the Malayalam Film Industry. Days that the Malayalam Film Industry would like to forget, memories that are stowed away into a silent and forgotten shutter in the attic of our minds.
