Neelakasham Pachakadal Chuvanna Bhoomi

A really good movie from Sameer C Thahir. Its a journey, a journey we dearly wish we were present. Really awesome visuals, awesome casting and good acting. stunning Background score and music (kudos to Rex Vijayan ) and bunch of beautiful girls for a real eye candy, (as if the DOP wasn't enough). A must watch for everyone who can appreciate good movies. Shows how pathetic the rest of the movies that claims to be NEW GEN. There is everything you want in it, good music, romance and the fun moments courtesy of Sunny Wayn who has made another brilliant performance. Some people might find the climax of the movie inadequate. A movie that should strictly be watched in a theater to enjoy the visuals. I would definitely watch it again. This movie makes you want to ditch your comfort of a car and get a frigging Bullet.

I entered the theater with a stereotype I had for modern Malayalam movies. Twenty minutes into the screenplay, the stereotype died.

Starting off with a fantastic camaraderie between the two lead hunks, the strong story begins unfolding itself through different places. I am mesmerized by the photography & locations (six different Indian states? Wow!). While the direction & cinematography actually pulls you inside the plot, the powerful soundtrack & score makes you enjoy the narrative. Songs are melodious and apt for the sequences they are played on. Editing could've been better. Talking about the intricacies of life, NPCB relates with its viewers with a wide range of life values like love, romance, family, hatred, travel, nature, etc.; issues - religion, language, politics & genres - action, romance, comedy & drama. The relevance of the script with current issues & time is both immense & dumb at the same time, but it easily passable.

It's a relief it isn't a melodrama. Humor is lukewarm, but the timing is thoroughly executed. Exhibiting so many ideas & beliefs on their journey, the lead pair magnify the meaning of life. Although, the climax seemed unfinished & the plot switches off with at least 2-3 unanswered questions. Maybe it was voluntarily done, because the plot was demanding more time; 150 minutes already! Let me tell you, it doesn't go monotonous.

Dulquer Salman is very serious about his portrayal and Sunny Wayne is the comic guy. Both are apt for the roles. The women in here portray amazingly and do their parts exceptionally well. Supporting cast is good as well. Only, some sequences seemed as if they were cooked up, but the audience is ready to overlook it if the table is full of food. Yes?

BOTTOM LINE: No cheap jokes, no obscenity and non-linear screenplay! I was greatly entertained & that is what a movie should be like. One more time, after Neram previously this year, Malayalam Cinema touches new heights. 8.4/10 for Sameer Thahir & crew. Highly Recommended because it inspires to live!

Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES

Neelakasham Pachakadal Chuvanna Bhoomi (English: Blue Sky, Green Sea, Red Earth) – Sub title based review "Been sometimes I had done an IMDb reviews, so thought of using my weekends to watch two titles and review. This one is about "English: Blue Sky, Green Sea, Red Earth" – A Malyalam gem of a movie. I have very low exposure to South Indian movie so thought of picking this up with quality English sub titles. This 2013 movie narrates the story of two engineering college friends who do their motor cycle diaries initially to get lost – to forget life – to ignore life. But just to be channelized to a larger quest for their own self, own believes & be the destiny. The film is shot seven Indian states - Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Orissa, West Bengal, Nagaland and Sikkim – as the lead characters move ahead in their quest over their Royal Enfield. It has to be appreciated that the film has done all the research correct , I could see banners of Hornbill festival while in Nagaland, amazing site locations for Orissa beaches, Vibrant Kolkata – yes the movie captures Momo and Biryani's with Alu . Casting was gem as the film resorted to picking regional actors – while the lead actress was Bala Hijam from Manipur playing a half Naga women; the film also resorted to casting Dhritiman Chaterji – the Bengali iconic actor who has worked with the masters himself like Ray and Mrinal Sen ; being playing the role of a political leader. The film hits at all right cord to keep the travelogue while keeping India in mind. The music is by Rex Vijayan, who is well known in the Indian rock circuit as lead guitarist for band Avial ( Check Nada Nada song – if you like hard metal by Avial) does wonderful for its tracks. I am not sure who did the background scores but it was amazing as well. The scores indeed help you to craft the story yourself through diluted images & journeys. This film differs from other road trip films – maybe even Dil Chata hai – the single reason being – this film is more grounded, more real , has more panorama of life to offer – from college politics, to love, to lust, to discovering manhood to being absolute blank about life. A must watch if you like to see a wonderful movie. We definitely need more films like Neelakasham Pachakadal Chuvanna Bhoomi – to celebrate life & discover India. Kudos to the makes. Neelakasham indeed are our lives".
