Ayalum Njanum Thammil || Review

After the super success of 'Diamond Necklace', director Lal Jose comes with his latest movie. This is the immediate release for Prithviraj, who has got his bollywood debut recently and also might be the last release for Samvritha Sunil, whose wedding date has been announced. Prathap Pothen, who has got a good comeback through '22FK', once again gets a notable role here.

Writers duo, Bobby - Sanjay scripting for Lal Jose for the first time. Their father Prem Prakash is producing this movie, under the banner Prakash movie Tone; previously the trio joined for the project 'Ente Veedu Apoontem'. Leaving his favorite man Vidyasagar, Lal Jose trying Ouseppachan for the first time to do music for his movie. Jomon T.John ('Chaappa Kurishu', 'Beautiful', 'Thattathin Marayathu' fame) is the cinematographer. Ranjan Abraham is the editor. Narein and Prithvi worked together in 'Robinhood' (Joshi) and 'Classmates', done by Lal Jose, before.

The movie is told in the backdrop of medical profession. It is mainly focused on Dr.Ravi Tharakan (Prithviraj) and his intimate relationship with his senior, Dr.Samuel (Prathap Pothen), who is a man with a social commitment.

Positives :

Bobby - Sanjay's scripting;
Serious, but excellent presentation of the subject by Lal Jose;Ayalum Njaanum Thammil
Prithviraj's performance;
Casting of Prathap Pothen in a notable role;
Realistic and natural sequences that happened in between the story;
Jomon T.John's cinematography, some of his frames has got the look of a foreign film;
Bg score by Ouseppachan;
Art direction by Gokul Das;
Most of the incidents discussed here is an eye opener for those who are related
with the medical profession;

On the flip side, the songs should have been better; more importance should have been given for characters of Narein, Rima Kallingal etc; a 'Classmates' hangover is there in few areas, though they are not all big issues to be discussed;

 
"Without any cliche situations and masala ingredients, Ayalum Njaanum Thammil is a class movie that should not be missed."
