Ayalum Njanum Thammil...

This is a Malayalam language film starring Prithviraj Sukumaran and Prathap Pothan in key roles.

The title of the film might misguide that it's a romantic film with a female protagonist. However the title is from the point of view of a doctor about his mentor.

The film is actually a must watch for medical students and would be a good watch for non medics to understand the pressures doctors have to go through.

The mentor opens this junior doctor's eyes, and moulds him to rise beyond perceptions and to realise and rise beyond the book and to truly realise what medical ethics mean. The support cast of Ramya Nambeesan and Kalabhavan Mani play key roles in that.

The romance element is understandable to bring the human side of the protagonist, but in essence plays its part only to lighten the film. It is well moulded in the story and editing.

The film also reports on how corporate hospitals try to misuse and manipulate situations, at times illegally and inhumanely.

There were a few scenes at the beginning where the direction seemed amateurish. Also certain scenes when it wasn't clear where it was drifting to a flashback. Otherwise a great film and a must watch!

This was one of the first movie in which I saw present & past showing together without informing the watcher. I liked it very much. Overall really nice theme.

The film was a captivating story right from the beginning crowned with an outstanding performance. You'll never look at medical practice the same way

DELICIOUS

-Jomon T John and his team were spectacular! The camera lens choices, angles, and great lighting contributed to superior storytelling

-We're not big fans of Prithviraj as his performance usually fluctuates, but in ANT, he outshone himself!

We believed him when he was the immature & nagging intern and later when he was more conscious and resolute. Prathap Pothen was simply graceful 👌🏾

-ANT was a unique screenplay packed with fantastic dialogues that made us question our life purpose and refrain from self-centeredness.

The story dived deep into the practice of medicine exposing the dirty work behind the scenes. ANT will teach you the necessity to be mature by never taking things for granted and always being responsible

-Editing and special effects have to be commended as well 🙌🏾

BLAND

-Dr. Supriya had her hair down during surgery which is normally against protocols😳

-Dubbing suffered quite a bit

-The storytelling included a great number of flashbacks that it became tedious to constantly return to the past.

This's one of the best works by Bobby-Sanjay. Trust me, you'll never disappoint with this!

Utilising the best performances from each actors, Lal Jose did utmost justification to the script! Also, can't leave Kalabhavan Mani behind - such a short character, and the impact he made was incredible! Applause to the perfect casting team!

A movie which holds a special place in my heart!
