Movie Review:Emmanuel-Deivam namoodu koode

Emmanuel - Deivam namoodu koode:
The last two movies of lal jose were "Diamond Necklace" and "Aayalum Njanum Thammil" which were huge hits and kept really different from each other. So this time we wouldn't expect anything less than an awesome movie from Lal who has been the main hit makers in Malayalam movie industry.

About the movie:
"Emmanuel-Deivam namoodu koode" deals with the story of a simple and humble man emmanuel, his family and people around him. Emmanuel with wife and son lives simple but happy life in rented home. Emmanuel got a job in a book publishing press which can close anytime due to lack of publicity and the owner is tricky enough not to pay salary to employees, especially his favorite person emmanuel because he is very pure in heart and sees his owner as godfather. It was hard for him and his family but still they were happy with what they have. Unfortunately one day the owner josephettan goes dark and so the publishing press closes down and emmanuel has to find a new job with a reference. Now he gets job in MNC which is an insurance company. Here he comes across his boss Jeevan(Fahad Fazil) who is so strict and very cunning and gives his job first priority to anything other including his family. Emmanuel sure has a new job with a fixed salary and now has to finish his target every month and he finds hard to cope up with the new generation lads who have really different mindsets. From there it was hard and very challenging job for a pure heart person emmanuel and with his whole life dream of owning a house and lot of other things the story develops.
The movie is humored sentimental drama and have lots of lovely moments which makes us realise the world around us and ourselves.
First half of the movie got lot of humorous situation and surely the scenes with fahad and mamooka was fun to watch most of the time. Second half gets into the story pretty much and get dramatic and sentimental but surely never got me boring.

Cinematography by Pradeep Nair was simple and adequate for the movie.
Editing by Ranjan Abraham again was pretty good and never let it boring at anytime.
Art-direction by Mohandas was good. some simple sets but beautifully presented.
Music by Afzal Yusuf was again simple and just flowed through the movie.
And again another simple and humble climax makes us feel very happy and surely makes our heart little light.

About the cast:
Mamooty is emmanuel in the movie. Mammoka has been brilliant throughout the movie and has shown again the simplicity of a person at its best. Hats off to him.
Fahad as jeevan was absolute brilliant and you got to watch his facial expression change. It changes too quickly that we will never understand what kind of person he actually is.
Rinu mathew the new actress introduced by lal jose played emmanuel's wife and kept it brilliant and never made felt like it was her debut and was perfect for the character and promises a new talent to malayalam.
Master Gauri shankar will take your heart away as emmanuel's son by his angel looks and cute talking. He was the main attraction in the movie.
Sukumari amma plays an important role in the movie and seeing her on screen we will surely know what we are going to miss in future.
Nedumudi veenu, Mukesh, salim kumar, muktha, Guinness pakru and many others played different, simple roles and kept it pretty good.

Should you watch:
No huge fights, no big romance, not colorful, but still a very simple beautiful happiness filled movie and if you are a person with good heart and got much emotions you surely don't want to miss this movie because you will love emmanuel and his family and the whole movie which gives pretty good encouraging message to all of us.
And as always the final decision is yours :)

My rating: 4.5/5

Movie Review: 3dots

3 dots...

Sugeeth after the extra ordinary successive run of his debut movie "ordinary" took up the same name with his new production house "ordinary films" to produce his second venture 3dots.

About the movie: 3 dots means "3 (jail)Pullikal" deals with the story of 3 ex prisoners vishnu(kunjako boban), pappan(prathap pothen) and louis(biju menon) who ended up in jail for three different reasons and meets up in same cell and develops friendship with each other. 3 of them continue their friendship outside the jail and vishnu and louie end up with pappan chettan on his small apartment and tries to reform their life, which happens mainly due to the high influence of criminologist Dr.Issac(narien) whom afterwards they find that he himself is having lots of problems within his family. vishnu goes in wide search for his job because he is graduated and young but his jail history takes away all his chances. Pappan chettan was an ex bank officer and he just didn't had any idea what to do and was very sad about loosing his family and regretted himself for his wrong doings. Louis on the other hand never minded anything was easygoing and was just confused about his present. All of them were hardly accepted by the society and when they lost all faith Dr.Issac helps them out and they start a playschool, an ambulance service and part time driving school. From there the story goes on with romance and drama.

 The cinematography by Faizal ali was good and some beautiful shots are made from Munnar are beautiful to watch.
The music by vidyasagar was pretty good and songs are very nice to hear but the placement of songs were pretty bad. songs keep coming from nowhere it needs to be and made it boring at all times.
The chemistry between Kunjacko and biju still worked out and prathap got into them pretty well to make it a trio but the story kind of lagged most of the part.
the two actresses has nothing to do much rather than filling up some time in this movie and doesn't give a good romantic impression.
The usual comic situation makes us laugh but still nothing leaves an impression to be remembered.
The editing wasn't the best and choreography was still average.
Climax of the movie has some twists and turns and in my view to be frank i would say narien and made the second half more lively because i started getting bored with those trios on screen.

About the cast:
Kunajcko boban as vishnu did a good job but wasnt his best and never felt any change from his last few movies.
Biju menon after entering comic characters was even better amoung the three with his humor and makes us laugh.
Prathap pothen did well as pappan chettan and surely played as matured among three.
Narien single handed kept his character the best of all with stunning looks and good dialogue presentation.
Janani Iyer made her debut to malayalam industry as lakshmi in the movie doesnt impress much but never made it boring though.
Anjana Menon as grace played a single mother kept it good but still had nothing to do with the movie though.

Should you watch:
From sugeeth with his debut movie ordinary we expect much but never gave anything expected through his second one. Seeing this movie makes us remember many movies and i really think the movie has same story line of Rob-b-hood released in 2006. Movie lags many time especially in first half and with some weird placement of songs kills the mood of watching. Anyway the movie is an entertainer to an extent with some good twists and turns in second half.
And as always it is your decision and this is my view on the movie.

My rating: 2.5/5.. have a great day ahead... :)

AMEN:

Lijo Jose Pellissery with his 3rd film after two really different experimental films "nayakan" and "city of God" is a easter treat for all keralites. Amen "a divine comedy" is again an experimental film...

About the movie: Amen is a musical comedy which deals with the love story of Solaman and sossama and circles around with the life of people in a land called Kumaragiri. An ancient syrian church and people of the place and the band are the main characters of the story. Lijo has wonderfully executed the script of this story, and some fabulous screenplay and dialogues by PS Rafeeque. It is really a visual treat with awesome sets given and the characterization of the movie has been just brilliant. Every person in the movie has an unique identity of their own which makes us remember each individually. The story has a very serious part in the second half but the way lijo has inserted comic situations every now and then keeps away the boring and the humor situations are really new for us and done in variety manner.

 The music has been very simple and folksy and very nice to hear and went on a flow through the movie. so is the background scores which were just awesome.
The cinematography by Abinandhan Ramanujam was just brilliant and You got to watch out how camera moves in every shots and its just amazing and kudos to the art directors(Mohammed Bawa) for those wonderful sets and costume designers (Siji Thomas Nobel) for perfect costumes and editors(Manoj) for those beautiful edited shots.
And of course a beautiful and brilliant executed climax makes us give them a standing ovation.

About the cast:
Fahad fazil is the lead character in the story as Solaman. when fahad is in the screen what you expect is brilliance and he never made it down and was spot on with the character and was just brilliant.
Swaty reddy (subramaniapuram fame) made her debut in malayalam through this film as Sossama and was just awesome especially with the cute face and epic dialogue deliveries within her family was just hilarious.
Indrajith has been lijo's fav and he continues in his 3rd venture as Father Vincent Vattoli and needs high appreciation for his part as he did it with absolute brilliance, truly needs a standing ovation.
Nathasha sahgal, Script writer turned actress played love interest of Indrajith kept it pretty good as just how it needed.
The people favorite Rachana plays as clara the sister of solaman give some beautiful dialogue delivery and again was perfect for the role.
Kalabhavan Mani as choir leader just kept it perfect and realistic and was brilliant.
Makrand Deshpande as a guest role has a hilarious entry and made it brilliant.
Chemban Vinod again in another lijo movie made did a fantastic and surprise funny role as paily.
Kulapulli leela as paili's mother and toddy shop owner continues to make us laugh.
Anil murali as brother in law of indrajith, Sandra thomas as sister of indrajith, shashi kalinga was absolute spot on with their roles.

Well like this each and every characters was unique and brilliant and made their role to perfection.

Should you watch:
The new experiment of lijo did work out with awesome script and narration and some hilarious unusual comic scenes make the film worth it to watch and surely
its a must watch movie. the visualization, dialogues, background scores, camera work, choreography, narration, anything and everything was brilliant and spot on.

5 reasons to BUNK your class

Although it sounds against the normal(good) culture, but there are certain incentives to it. Bunking a class(or classes) can actually improve your performance and various other parameters. Here are 5 reasons on why should break the rule and go out, when you are not supposed to go.

1. Independence
   1. An independent person can only lead a successful life. If he/she has independent ideas and thinking it’ll become easier for him to take decisions in future.
2. Improved academics performance
   1. If you bunk your class, you won’t know how a particular problem has been solved, or how a particular thing works. So what if you were absent. You will spend more time with the books and hence use your brains. So you are not just a robot.
3. Good relationship with teachers
   1. When you bunk, you don’t get attendance. So you go up to your teachers for some help (jugaad). So the harmony between the teacher and the student increases
4. Fun
   1. The most obvious reason is fun. Increase your awareness by spending quality time with your friends.
5. Peace
   1. Yes,you get peace. The cacophonous class can make you distasteful and hence make you more irritable. So you get what the world wants, “peace “

9 things u can do to be happy for nxt 30 minutes.....

Being happier doesn't have to be a long-term ambition. You can start right now. In the next 30 minutes, tackle as many of the following suggestions as possible. Not only will these tasks themselves increase your happiness, but the mere fact that you've achieved some concrete goals will boost your mood.

1. Raise your activity level to pump up your energy. If you're on the phone, stand up and pace. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Put more energy into your voice. Take a brisk 10-minute walk. Even better...

2. Take a walk outside. Research suggests that light stimulates brain chemicals that improve mood. For an extra boost, get your sunlight first thing in the morning.

3. Reach out. Send an e-mail to a friend you haven't seen in a while, or reach out to someone new. Having close bonds with other people is one of the most important keys to happiness. When you act in a friendly way, not only will others feel more friendly toward you, but you'll also strengthen your feelings of friendliness for other people.

4. Rid yourself of a nagging task. Deal with that insurance problem, purchase something you need, or make that long-postponed appointment with the dentist. Crossing an irksome chore off your to-do list will give you a rush of elation.

5. Create a more serene environment. Outer order contributes to inner peace, so spend some time organizing bills and tackling the piles in the kitchen. A large stack of little tasks can feel overwhelming, but often just a few minutes of work can make a sizable dent. Set the timer for 10 minutes and see what you can do.

6. Do a good deed. Introduce two people by e-mail, take a minute to pass along useful information, or deliver some gratifying praise. In fact, you can also...

7. Save someone's life. Sign up to be an organ donor, and remember to tell your family about your decision. Do good, feel good―it really works!

8. Act happy. Fake it 'til you feel it. Research shows that even an artificially induced smile boosts your mood. And if you're smiling, other people will perceive you as being friendlier and more approachable.

9. Learn something new. Think of a subject that you wish you knew more about and spend 15 minutes on the Internet reading about it, or go to a bookstore and buy a book about it. But be honest! Pick a topic that really interests you, not something you think you "should" or "need to" learn about.

Some people worry that wanting to be happier is a selfish goal, but in fact, research shows that happier people are more sociable, likable, healthy, and productive―and they're more inclined to help other people. By working to boost your own happiness, you're making other people happier, too.
