Annayum Rasoolum

Faahadh faasil, Andrea both roles justfaid this carecter Both are innocents, fear and daring pure natural. Cinematography is very welll Movie lite slow but beautiful Don't miss watch the movie

Some movies make you feel privileged as you watch them.This one presented many such moments as I got involved in the movie. While you dwell in the beauty of one beautiful moment, another beautiful moment comes along. Very realistic presentation and yet interesting and absorbing.

Andrea has done an exceptional job and to some extent overshadows Fahad in terms of acting.While the initial phase of the movie delivers in the unique story telling , soon the romance of the movie takes over. Very very real , very everyday, very relate-able.

We watched the movie on Valentine's day and it is indeed a great pick for a valentine's movie.Appreciate Fahad on his choice of movies.Wanted to watch it again today but the movie has changed and got to watch Fargo instead which was a good one in itself too.

The sights of Kochi has been nicely captured and as someone brought up in Kochi, I could relate to everything in the movie very well.The lighting in the movie is amazingly realistic. The first shot of the heroine presented as she gets in the way of the car felt real and interesting. The shot of Andrea against the candle prayer lights was very beautiful.

The story of the movie is amazing as well. Santhosh Echikkanam whose malayalam short stories has been enlightening when I used to do some reading, has matched himself scripting this one. Missed a second watch today unfortunately.Andrea keeps coming back as the show-stealer. Her performance has been accurate.The movie wins over Andrea though - good work Rajiv.

Few months back started watching south indian movies and really love watching Malyalam and Tamil movies (OK Kanmani, Premam, Kannathil Muthamittal, Sita Ramam, 96 etc) Downloaded five to six films of Fahadh Faasil an decided watch to this movie first, without even any hint of the movie except that its a love story. The movie just ended.... and was unable to hold my emotions for a few minutes. Whosoever has ever been in love or with a pure heart can't stop his/her feelings. A love story (Romace / Drama) that is so realistic ,so emotional, and so close to your heart. Hardly a few romantic dialogues or a scene between the couple, But even then it melts your heart and leaves an ever lasting impact; an Excellent love story with superb performances and music. Both Fahadh and Andrea performed so naturally that it just appeared to be happening in real. Love this movie and would highly recommend it. This is a movie which can be seen many a times.

An extension to Thattathin Marayathu, and more emotional & realistic movie is what Annayum Rasoolum is. Fahadh Faasil is fantastic in his role as a Muslim taxi driver while Andrea just fits in.

Probably the first Malayalam movie with a mouth-to-mouth kiss on-screen, the story is clichéd and said, read & published in all types of media, which talks about inter-caste relationship(s). Direction is beautiful and so is the music. Debutant director has left no stones unturned with this movie and yes, it is a very watchable movie with no cheap humor.

Songs are nice and catchy. Cinematography is plausible and every other film-making factor is met through. The supporting cast is very good and actually supportive in this brilliant narration. It induces emotions and if you love romantic movies, this one will surely bite you. Violence in Kerala is depicted in a sever manner and shows the reality - how the innocent & local people act/react at times. A heartening ode to the Kerala city life.

BOTTOM LINE: A very enjoyable movie with an unconventional climax and a somewhat extended screenplay to the usual happy endings. Nice work!

Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES

It was one of those movies that stay with you. Even a day after I watched, it would still make you think of the smallest scenes in the movie. That is the thing I love the most about such movies. There would be a small scene in it somewhere that would connect with you, and it would stay with you. That can happen only when the movie succeeds in generating that vibe in its audience. For different people it would be different scenes. Rajeev Ravi had a story in him begging to be told, and he said it in the most heartfelt way imaginable.

The general theme is the age old story guy meets girl of a different religion, falls in love, family finds out, all hell break lose. But as with such movies everything relies on the way you narrate the story, and it is in that, that Rajeev Ravi does the magic. Everything felt original, there were probably no other influences other than his own real life experiences. The genuineness of the situations and scenes shone through as though it was biographical, preserving the feelings of the smaller moments. Even the way he showed Kochi felt genuine. There was no effort to glamorize any part of it. The revival of 2 old classic songs were a perfect fit for the movie. They felt as though they were made for this movie.

Fahad Fazil steps into a different league with his acting. The guy looked every bit the character he was playing, he did not falter in even a single scene. On the contrary, in some of the scenes he was simply phenomenal. In my opinion, the last scene in which he runs into Anna's house and his reaction to the things happening there was so subtle and genuine that it was on an entirely different level.

If i had to pick a flaw it would have to be casting a heroine from a different language. I'm not rubbishing Andreah, she did a great job in almost every scene, but the real issue is that to minimize the awkwardness of lip syncing dialogs, she was given as minimum lines as possible. What results is that her character ended up being almost mute, some of it could be attributed to the depressed nature of her character but at other times it looked like something was missing to me. Otherwise what a movie!
