Premam Malayalam Movie

[Madox Valdivia]

Forme, the Mary story line dragged. It had one too many songs and one too many weird shots of the road in front of the tea shop, and one too many scenes of the angry dad chasing various boys away. (They could have cut this short by 15 minutes-at least-and used it to develop the Celine story. But more on that later) And if they had shown one more shot of Mary stroking her vaikol thuru hair, I would have had to rip my own out (whatever is left of it!)

Hi

I agree all your points on premam except about the cafe agape. Saw the movie recently. It is just above average movie. Soo much hype killed it. I enjoyed OSO more. I think guys will like premam and girls will prefer OSO.

I have watched only 5 Malayalam movies in my life and just love the simplicity of Malayalam movies, no fake makeup and too much show off like tamill movies.

Refreshing to see someone calling a spade a spade. Premam is enjoyable, yes. But ample scope for shortening the runtime. There were moments, fleeting but present all the same, when you felt the movie was dragging out for no apparent reason.

Agree with you totally on Drishyam. That first half was quite boring though I really enjoyed the second half.

Have to disagree with you on the Manju Warrier bit. Her protrayal of Devika Sekhar in Pathram is the best performance I have seen by a leading actress in malayalam cinema. Aamy comes a close second.

Looking forward to more write ups from you on malayalam cinema.

Cheers

I suppose the strength of a story is also very important when one enacts a character. An actor must connect with the character and I quite doubt if Manju connects to the modern characters that are meted out to her!

am no fan of Nivin Polly, but rather a fan of good films and new ideas in moviemaking.

Premam is not an exceptionally brilliant movie (not even close) but even then, I thoroughly enjoyed every second of the 3hrs I spend watching.

I was among those easy going lucky guys who with a set of best buds rode their BSA SLRs and MTBs (only the 80s kids will know what these are ? ) through the city streets chasing and goofing around pretty gals.

I even watched the movie with my +2 friends (the Shambus and Koyas) and we are still the best of best friends even though we are poles apart in careers and life.

Thanks Nella!

The way I see it, I voiced an opinion on my blog. A lot of people have been kind enough to read that and tell me their thoughts. The least I can do is listen with an open mind and thank them for their time! ?

Do stop by again!

Not undermining the effort & the thought gone into making the film at all, Mathew. I am glad you, like many others, have enjoyed this movie so much! As I have been saying, it is probably because I could not relate to it so much that I am not swept away by its magic. Thanks for stopping by!
