Ullozhukku

Brevity in story telling by Christo Tomy with excellent cinematography by Shehnad Jalal .. not only resurrects the soul of the Shakespearean drama that unfolds but also highlights the surreal beauty of kuttanad through breathtaking visuals.

Subtle background music by Sushin Shyam in classical western style is captivating and adds to the core feel of the movie.

Besides excellent emote from all - principally an ageing Urvashi and the young Parvathy Thiruvoth .. the film is the combined result of all elements of movie making fused together brilliantly, drawing in the viewer emotionally too.

The movie with the right type of subtitles is sufficient to pull itself off singularly before any discerning international or national audience sans spend on marketing for such is its narrative strength. This point is beyond debate.

The film is a text book case for all budding film makers to watch over and over again to understand the nuances.

Conclusion: Malayalam films are once again on the ascendancy by virtue of the creativity behind each, indicative of a welcome renaissance and shift away from action staples and crime/police stories that held centre stage so far .. we need to travel far more and the changing trend seems encouraging ...

Ullozhukku

An ocean of emotions portrayed through sunken human minds.

The plot of the story is about the survival of a young women in a unhappy married life covered up with lies,emotions and her deeply rooted relationship with her mother in law.

Christo has excelled in portraying the inner emotions of each characters in the movie very brilliantly. Not a single lag was felt and it is evident from the way he has penned the script. He has associated the emotional agony of each characters with the endless downpour in the movie.

Urvashi...The real queen...What a versatile delivery. Parvathi's performance with Urvashi especially in the darker areas was at par. Impressive delivery by Prashanth Murali,Alencier,Arjun & Jaya Kurup.

Sushin Shyam has got a feather on his hat again. He has proved that he can shoulder music for any genres. The Background score was so soothing and blended well along with the heavy downpour.

Shehnad Jalal's hands behind the camera was top notch and the way he captured the real beauty of Kuttanad and the hardships of the people in monsoon.

An emotionally touching family drama after Kaathal - The Core.

Rating - 3.75/5.

Rave reviews and a stellar cast are surely the best ingredients to allure you to watch a movie, and that is exactly what pulled me to watch this one.

It is the story of an ailing husband who succumbs to death, leaving behind his wife and mother. The delay in burying him due to floods brings out hidden truths, lies, and the complexity of relationships to the forefront.

On the surface, it may look like a simple tale, but it has multiple layers that draw you in. The screenplay is tight and helps you understand the intent behind every action taken by the characters. The best part about the movie is that everyone is right in their perspective, yet everyone can be called wrong if you switch on the societal compass.

Legendary actress Urvashi is a force to reckon with when it comes to acting. She still is the best and delivers a standout performance. The emotional turmoil she faces comes across naturally through her facial expressions. Parvathy Thiruvothu is another example of an exemplary actress, and she proves it yet again. Prasanth Murali, even with limited screen presence, does well.

Captain of the ship, Christi Tomy, creates an immersive experience for viewers where silence speaks volumes. The cinematography is another brilliantly done aspect, with picturesque frames that captivate you. It is not your run-of-the-mill story; rather, you get to see a progressive story set in a small village in Kerala.

Get ready to watch a movie that is slow yet highly engaging. Don't miss this gem at any cost and be ready to watch never seen before relationship between daughter in law and mother in law.

The film Ullozhukku serves as evidence that any film may achieve great heights at any point in time with the right cast, director, and screenplay. Among the female characters in the movie is Urvashi, who has long been regarded as one of the best artists. This movie still reflects that recognition. Along with showcasing her acting talent, Parvathy has a compelling character. Every scene in the movie seems believable due to the plot and setting. It's amazing how the filmmaker finished the movie without breaking the scene's flow or omitting even a tiny bit of emotion. The fact is that when great stories are brought to life on the entertainment stage-which is what's referred to as cinema-with the aid of a screenplay, film also gains the important distinction of being a good art form.
