Thanmathra

"Thanmatra" a beautiful and touching tale of a happy family.In fact why the title "thanmatra" because Director Blessy's previous film Kazcha spoke of an entire society and the crisis it faces during an earthquake and this film thanmatra speaks of a single family a single unit that means a molecule in the eyes of the director. Thanmatra is a beautiful and touching tale of a small but very happy family.The lead cast of Mohanlal,Meera vasudevan( Rules-Pyar ka Superhit formula fame,Unnai Charanadainthein),Nedumani Venu,Jagathy Sreekumar ,Seetha etc...All the performances are strong yet brilliant were the performances of the lead pair of Mohanlal and meera Vasudevan. The film is simple,realistic and down right touching. I will recommend this film to all people who appreciate good cinema.At times i think it is "A Beautiful Mind" what i am watching yet don't take away the credit from Director Blessy as he has created a masterpiece. Mohanlal has given his best performance so far and Meera Vasudevan who only at 23 years of age has convinced all of us that she can play different roles and characters very convincingly.She definitely deserves accolades for the same. Thanmatra-Verdict -Brilliant-Take your entire family and watch it.

Thanmathra It has got all -technology and art. Nice camera-which does not prick eyes. Nice music-especially the first song its like a cool breeze. Excellent acting by all-its like everybody worth an award. Brilliant direction-Blessy 5 star for that.

I think the boy 'Manu' is the hero of the movie and Mohanlal is just a character.The heroine Meera Vasudev is good. Her smile is soo beautiful. but some thing is there with her dubbing. OK leave it in excuse of her acting.Nedumudi good as always.And the man Jagathy,is there any role in this world which he cannot do. I doubt no. He is such a good actor. The most beautiful gem Mollywood has got.An as all its a GOOD MOVIE. For me Kaazcha caused a lot itching-unwanted scenes, overacting by Mammooty, unnecessary songs,unnecessary characters and of all I blamed Blessy for that because Mammokka is a great actor-but only with a good director. But Now Blessy is really a good director and an excellent legacy tho Indian Cinema.

The first show started at 10.30. There was no such explosive crowds infront of the theater as for naran. The film started with huge applause and jai's to lalettan. The film shows the correct picture of a normal family in an interesting way. The film started with a small touching sentiment's between lal and his son.And all other scenes were pleasant. But when it began to reach the midst of the film...situations changed... The villain came.."Alzeimers disease"!!!! Then the scenes were out of control. I tried my level best not to cry aloud. In many occasions I closed my eyes for long time....and tears shed. No Lal fans can see the situation of mohanlal at that time

A father who loves his family very much...who need to make his son an IAS officer....who is known as the brilliant father in the son's school...suddenly changed liked a small child who doesn't know even to write or talk...But his wish to make his son an IAS officer was hidden somewhere in his mind... The last scene was a suspense which no lal fans expected...That scene make us completely out of control... In a scene Mohanlal even came out from the office bathroom in only Jetty (underwear). In another scene One man will beat him cruely and he cries like a little child.....When Jagathy and Nedumudy drinks tea, Lal was looking at their tea glass , for giving him also tea.. And many scenes more.....And sure The film will be taken by family audience from tomorrow itself. And the National award is confimed to lal and lal only

I am a big fan of Malayalam movies and off late most of what is churned out is mindless comedy or violence. Blessy's Thanmathra is a well made movie with a good theme. There are several movies on Alzheimer's patients and if you were to hear the theme from someone the response is likely to be, "so what's new? " What makes this movie good are.. Strong actors- Mohanlal, Manu, Jagathy, Meera, Nedumudi; Good direction- Well woven story, seamless progression, good technical knowledge of Alzheimer's.(Loss of recent memory and preservation of past memory. Mohanlal remembers the Sukumaran Nair of his childhood, but not his father- in-law with the same name...Going to his 'Appachy's' house for 'unniappam' etc); Music - Melodious songs, good background score.

The subtitled quote in the end though seemed profound somehow didn't blend well with the end. Could have done without it I think. I strongly recommend watching this movie

Blessy has proved that class of art still remains in molly wood.As it's add says Mohanlal performed as the way we wanted. Rameshan Nair now became one of his classic characters.Meera,Arjun and other actors contributed their full effort towards this drama and made it a feel that never ends.I could see lot of audience with satisfied faces after the show.That only a filmmaker dreams about.The casting was again the best from the director.The camera work is apt to the story mood.'Kazcha' was an excellent film,Blessy made 'Thanmatra' one step ahead than his previous project.The Pathmarajan touch came back as the Blessy touch.

Keep going Blessy!!

Keep going Lal!!
