Mayaanadhi

One of the best beautiful malayalam movies ever made. Mathan and Appu will haunt you for long.

As the name sounds, this is a mystic movie. Actually if you think, there's nothing new. And the story is somewhat typical. But it's music, editing and some other technical aspects given this the state it deserves. Enjoyed every minute.

Like all romantic movies, this one dares to recreate a realistic and gruesome love story of a softhearted boy who struggles to win over difficult situation boldly but succumbs at the hands of heartless people around him who consider love a trap certifying it a taboo. In the end, inspires hope with the suffering of lonely lover wearing a crown which has become meaningless.

After watching its clueless trailer, I thought it to be another misfire from aashiq Abu after gangster and rani padmini but I was wrong. Before mayanadhi, the last time I saw a realistic love story in malayalam was Annayum Rasoolum. Mayanadhi narrates the complicated and poignant love story of a runaway criminal Maathan and struggling actress aparna. Tovino, aishwarya and rest of the cast performed their roles well but the real show stealer is soubin who proves that for an actor only one scene and no dialogues are enough to strike an impact among audience. Climax leaves a lump on your throat. You feel like a fresh air coming slowly on your face while watching mayanadhi. Maayanadhi is Aashiq Abu's best work till date.

Mayanadhi is much more than a viewing experience alone, it makes you feel the love. Mathan and Appu will leave a mark in your heart.

Excellent script, amazing music and ashique Abu's making of this is beyond comparison in Malayalam cinema.

Totally out of the league from formula movies. If you are a movie buff , it would also make you wonder, how could they get all the elements beautifully knit it together.

If it was released in 2021 in the OTT age, it would have have got national and international level attention , like other good movies this year.
