Reimagining the Super Hero
Indian cinema has finally arrived. We have probably made a Super Hero film at a fraction of the cost of what it takes Hollywood to make.
A Super Hero film that is not only enjoyable and exhilarating but also poignant!!! Poignancy is a rarity as far as Super Hero films are concerned.
The darkness of Gotham is replaced by a lovely bright and lazy little hamlet.
Every character in the movie is well developed and will be etched in your memory. They are all so real, sweet and relatable. The casting and acting are perfect..
In Drishyam you were drawn and sucked into George Kutty’s world. in Minnal Murali, you become an inhabitant of Kurukkanmoola. You become a part of a story that seems to meander along in two different streams before they converge. The conflict is set up exquisitely.
Tovino THomas must be one of the most magnanimous actors. In Kalaa, he was vulnerable, in Kaane Kaane, he was guilty. While he is the hero here, he again plays the second fiddle to Guru Somasundaram, the villain.
The joker character has been adapted to perfection and Guru Somasundaram makes the most of the opportunity.
The Super hero always resonated with the physical! but what Basil Joseph does is to prove that you could implant a lovely little soul!!
P.S:
I pray fervently that they do not do a big budget 3D sequel!!!
