Ee.Ma.Yau.

Had anyone ever thought of making a film on a funeral ceremony which was in turmoil? Literally no one would have unless it was LJP no words take a bow _/\_ I can see nothing other than his making as it was absolutely realistic and sublime. Performances, cinematography and bgm added more quality to the story. Highly recommended for movie buffs.

Exactly at the 100th minute, Chemban Vinod Jose's troubled and dismayed (because he couldn't pull of what he promised few hours ago) character goes berserk at the prospect of not being able to send his late father off like a legend by giving him a respectful funeral with pomp and loudness and that's when you know that Lijo Jose Pellissery's Ee. Ma. Yau has arrived with its platter full of real-life connotations about how death is perceived by the onlookers who don't but realize that their wildest emotions can still wreak havoc affecting not only the dead but also those who they leave behind.

Don't you have one of those bad afternoon naps? Wherein you're disturbed by a bad dream? Not necessarily a nightmare, but one disturbing thought that creeps into your head, when you're not sure if you're awake or asleep? Ee.Ma.Yau is one such experience.

This won't make you laugh. This won't leave you with a single happy thought. This won't lift your spirits if you feel down. Yet, this movie connects with you. This movie slowly makes its way into your head. This movie makes you not want to blink. This one neither makes you laugh, nor does it make you cry. Lijo Jose Pellisseri makes you numb. He casts his spell, and takes you away from all things materialistic in this world.

Everything about this film, is perfect. Not all films need a story. A powerful script, extraordinary actors and one great director can prouduce magic. And the end product, Ee.Ma.Yau speaks for itself.

Surreal experience. Take a bow, everyone . Probably my greatest theatre experience till date. Now is when it's all happening in Mollywood.

In Ee. Ma. Yau lijo has once again built a place and a set of great characters, who feel grounded to the setting they are placed .With an ensemble cast , lijo has made a film which is rich in atmospherics and dark humor. Strong performances across the board and Shyju Khalid's beautiful night frames has elevated this films to be one of the best films to come out of the Malayalam film industry recently.
