Oru Mexican Aparatha movie review


Oru Mexican Aparatha movie review


Student politics has deepened it's roots in Kerala's education system with time and the film 'Oru Mexican Aparatha' is the latest on-screen interpretation of it. The reach for films based on political ideologies is evident from the large number of releasing theaters it has, 139.

The plot of the movie is set in Maharaja college, the birthplace of many student leaders. The students unions SFY, KSQ and the Maharaja College bear close resemblance to the real life students unions SFI, KSU and Maharaja's college located in the heart of Kochi. The story of the film is about the rebirth of SFY in Maharaja college freeing it from the rule of KSQ. It shows the different shades of student politics in current times and also sheds light on the story of Kochaniyan, the first martyr of SFY in Maharaja College.




Tom Emmatty, the debutant writer-director selected a theme very close to Kerala audience and has succeeded in creating a tale that lives up to the expectation. In spite of having certain wafer thin plot changers, the screenplay carries forward the immense impetus of leftist intellect throughout the movie.

Tovino Thomas delivers his best work till date and the intensity in his eyes, the muscular personality and the powerful dialogue delivery stamp the birth of a Superstar. Neeraj Madhav delivers a good performance in the supporting role. Roopesh Peethambaran once again proves that he is an elegant actor. His performance as the antagonist is very natural and convincing.



Cinematography by Prakash Velayudhan brings to life the spirits embedded in the colleges of the 70s and the present with ease. The revolutionary soundtrack by Manikandan illustrates the true essence of the movie. Oru Mexican Aparatha has a very gripping second half compared to the less impressive first half.

    JOMONTE SUVISESHANGAL  -  MOVIE REVIEW  The first Malayalam film to release in 2017, Jomonte Suvisheshangal has two generations joining hands. Sathyan Anthikad, one of the very few directors to have a special Malayali touch in his films and Dulquer Salmaan, one of the most vibrant actors Malayalam cinema has ever produced.

ANGAMALY DIARIES MOVIE REVIEW

ANGAMALY DIARIES MOVIE REVIEW   Director Lijo Jose Pellissery is all set to carve a niche for himself by taking a run at experimentation films in Malayalam cinema. After the comic thriller 'Double Barrel' that evoked compliments and criticism, he is back with 'Angamaly Diaries' which has 86 newcomers in key roles. The other specialties of the film are that the script is written by actor Chemban Vinod Jose and it is the first solo production of Vijay Babu (Friday Films). The plot is set in Angamaly, a town in the Ernakulam-Trichur district border. The movie is a realistic approach to the local life in Angamaly with Pepe (Antony Varghese) as the protagonist. The story is usual and has nothing new to offer, but the screenplay that says the proverbial tale of men who live by the sword is gripping and has a fresh feel to it. The life of thugs and henchmen has been portrayed with perfection in a raw manner. The performance by every artist is very realis...
