Nanpakal Nerathu Mayakkam

This movie is not for everyone. This is an excellent sleeping pill for those who like violence,gunfires, crime, thrill and suspense. Such people stay away from this movie unless you are suffering from sleep deprivation.

This movie is intended for a calm and serene population.

My personal opinion: I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. The peaceful environment which is maintained throughout the movie put me through a trance state. The sound design was excellent. Its essential to get rid of violence, terror and nauseating love stories and to discover the beauty of peace and tranquility. It's a very soothing and refreshing experience.

LJP and team delivered it again.

Unbelievable is the first word comes to my mind for what is achieved through this masterpiece. I am a non Malayali or Tamil speaking person and watched it in hindi. I loved the way the director unfolds this perfect movie.

This has an Oscar deserving Direction and sound design at the display. Something that you might have never experienced even if you are a Hitchcock or Kurosawa fan.

The metaphor of sleep as rebirth is apt. The acting is nearly perfect and the chaos is masterful. Its a drama par excellence reaching to the level of meditative experience.

Story: 9/10 The layered story with perfect execution. One star deducted for relying on the background sounds for understanding the context.

Screenplay: 10/10 It's as perfect as it is humanly possible.

Direction: 10/10 This is the first movie I watched from this masterful director and I am going to watch all of his work.

Sound: 10/10 So much to take in, the use of TV sounds and movie's context for an North indian is a great initiation to malyali and tamil cinema.

Art Direction:10/10 It's perfect, perfect and perfect.

Acting: 10/10.

Mammotty achieved something unimaginable for all other great actor of our time. At the age of 70 years this is art at its best. He deserves all accolades.

Do yourself a favor and watch this masterpiece and you will forget that bollywood garbage forever.

What more to tell about this man. Running out of superlatives to describe what he is upto in NNM. Just makes us go awww while he switched between James & Sundaram

Watch out for that bit where he behaves as Sundaram to Jame's relatives. Out of the world🙏 #NanpakalNerathuMayakkam

#NanpakalNerathuMayakkam What happens when James dozes off & wakes up as Sundaram & travels through his life for a day before he goes back to the world of James.

Something only Lijo can pull off & boy hasn't he done just that. Nothing complex this time. Absolute mastery by LJP🙏

Mammootty , LEGENDARY ACTING 🔥⭐⭐⭐ State Awards - It's not even a question or a discussion

National Awards - Only looking forward to that.

A poetic exploration of human identity and belonging, which also serves as a critique to the unfortunate tendency of society and its naive, ignorant members to undervalue these aspects, prioritizing physical appearances over somebody's personality and intellect.

The cinematography captivated me, as it conveyed unuttered, insinuated context beautifully through skillfully arranged frames, enriching each pivotal scene with depth and meaning.

Performances were another standout aspect, particularly that of Mammootty, who once again showed his remarkable ability to embody any character with apparent ease and effortlessness!

That being said, I wish the writing had elaborated on the peculiar occurrence and provided additional context, as this would have enlightened the narrative.

Nonetheless, I do appreciate the story's ambiguity, which raises some intriguing questions about whether the event was merely a vivid dream, a distant memory, or something beyond comprehension that transcends boundaries of our tangible reality?

Long awaited combo LJP and Mamooty was definitely worth the wait.

The unexpected twist not only confused the character in the story but also the viewers.

Totally different style of making followed by LJP adds on to uniquifing the film.

The story blended in well the cultural values of societies which made me like the film more.

Even though every character had got a defined role, the character done by Mamooty excels in all the aspects of protrayal.

Short and well written script along with nicely blended in music and sound design.

As in all LJP's movies certain questions are unanswered and completely left to the viewers for further interpretation.
