Charlie

This is one of the best romantic movies in Malayalam, very refreshing and different. The characters are beautiful portrayed and each one of them takes the story forward very well. The songs are very beautiful and has already become a part of my frequently played play list. Loved the climax. This might not be liked if you are expecting regular run of the mills kind of Rom-com. The direction, locations and editing are brilliant. Worth watching many times :) The cast is superb and all the roles are aptly fulfilled. Watch this if you want to see a different kind of experiment in Malayalam movies. This is another brilliant movie of Parvathy.

Once a wise man said, ' search with your best effort, search in every corner, search with a feeling, feeling that runs through your veins , feeling for what you are seeking. Search and search and Search. " No doubt , for the past two years, I have been a movie holic, and I hope it will remain the same.I have learned so many things, so many views, and there's a vast ocean of that awaiting for me to dive into it.Every Good movie is interconnected, whether it's Malayalam or Iranian, Argentine or Hollywood , Korean or German.You just have to search and search and search! Charlie, name of a mystery, an enigma to be unfolded by a beautiful girl who accidentally gets to know him by his unfinished Sketchbook story, discovers a nomad yet so beautiful young lad who sees things differently. He is kind of a mixture of humayun's himu character and landon from highway to heaven.

We have one life and we should enjoy its every moment. The movie is about Charlie who loves life , travelling and sketching and the other role is portrayed by Parvathy who is serious about life. The story unfolds when Parvathy traces back characters from the sketches which Charlie made and started accepting life and wanting to meet charlie after his humanly activities which helped people to give their life importance and doing something for others. The story and the depiction was good.

Travel, adventure, standing up and fighting injustices heroically, being one with people from poorer or less fortunate sections of society, being able to express the goodness in oneself boldly and completely, not being confined to small predictable lives - these are all longings that will resonate with a lot of people. Charlie fulfills all these beautifully, providing the viewer some emotional satisfaction.

Cinema as a business is built around it's ability to be an escape from the boring routines and predictabilities of life. Charlie fits the business model nicely.

Dulqar is the star of the movie. The movie rests squarely on his shoulders. If he had not delivered, the movie had absolutely no chance. I think this is his best performance so far. He has effectively challenged himself by rising above just being a behavior actor. He is a star. His likability sold. His work on his physique shows. His dialogue delivery is endearing. Charming fellow.

Parvathy is an awesome actress. She has a very crucial role as well. She has much more screen time than Dulqar though the movie revolves fully around DQ. She is beautiful and has kept her presence sweet throughout the movie.

The situations in the movie were not predictable though not all of them were totally new. The story line has been drawn very carefully, wary of the viewer and holding some tricks up the sleeve all the way. Spotted with interesting incidents, the movie is a feel gooder.

The movie has good art work. I will not be surprised if the movie wins awards for it's art work in addition to many others. The sets are interesting. Lot of nice objects have been used to tell the story of the movie.

The songs are impressive and is at par with the movie. Coming at pretty regular intervals, the movie is kept pleasant and musical all through.

Cinematography is excellent. The movie has been written to use lot of beautiful/ varied / striking sights and the camera has captured them nicely - be it the saturated colors of fort kochi, the striking costumes, pooram.

However, the fact of the matter is that the movie is quite sublime and just whiffs off pretty quickly. It was not meant to be deep or leave a lasting impact. It is just a nice roller coaster ride into Charlie's life. I would see it again.

I have never written a review for any movies. This is the first time . That's how much I love this movie. The feel good element of this movie is just so good. Every bgm, every dialogue, every songs. Just everything about this movie is such a feel good. Love this movie to the core . Watched this movie 154 times already. It helps to change ur depression into happiness . I can't stop writing about this movie. It gives such an amazing feel.
