Avis à la une
Bangalore Days movie clearly entertains all kinds of age groups with a simple yet interesting storyline never making you check the time. It is a top to bottom fun filled movie with certain good message to the society,certain satirical sequences and moreover with lots to laugh out your brains. Apart from the story lagging a bit after the interval,which it picks up very soon you have nothing to be called negatives. Pairing of actors is done perfectly creating correct combinations. With very good camera work and direction, the movie also attains technical perfection. Songs and Choreography adds up to the merit of this movie. So as a whole its a very entertaining movie which you never want to miss..
I've watched so many films but this movie is quite different and unique.
Amazing writing, Direction, Cinematography and wonderful acting no doubt.
This is the quality of an Indian cinema and everyone should watch this movie once.
Everything is so good, emotional and mesmerizing.
I do not know Malayalam language but didn't feel a language barrier for a single moment.
Must watch movie
Kudos to the whole team of this movie.

Hi, I'm from Tamilnadu (Tamilian). I can very much speak & understand Malayalam. One thing I want to highlight a point is that Malayalam Film industry especially in the past one decade has gone to the height of World classics... Anjali Menon's contribution to Malayalam Film industry is one of the remarkable count. Yes, she does it again with Bangalore Days... Kudos to her. I have seen this Movie, yesterday at Chennai. Very pleasant & enjoyable ride.... All the actors did their best. Especially, Fahad Fazil,Dulquar Salman,Nivin Pauly & cute smiling angel Nazriya does their roles perfectly. Once again, Anjali keep rocking. I love to watch all your future movies .... Rgds, Hari. (Your Tamilian Fan from Chennai).
The stories of the silver screen and fairy tales make us believe that it is worthwhile to grasp that one chance at love. They convince us that it the single most crucial fight that one has to win. Overcoming that would translate to eternal bliss. It is happiness afterwards, forever and ever. Err... wrong answer.
In a very entertaining way, combining the scenic backgrounds of Kerala and Bangaluru, as well as the pleasing youthful features of the good looking actors, the story tries to tell us in a subtle way that it is not all hunky-dory when and especially after one finds love. It is an eternal struggle to keep the flames alive. Even if the ember stays aglow, there are too many interferences that threatened its harmony. In modern living, with the relaxation of rigid social restrictions that used to prevail and the scream of empowerment, no one can be pinned down anymore. Everybody is free to do what he (or she) wants. Is that daring to be different, to empower oneself, defiance to status or plain lazy to uphold the age-old agreed norms that rock the whole fabric of marital bliss? Or is it that the desire to defend the holy institution of marriage that makes one overlook or tolerate the many imperfections of the other?
The story revolves around three cousins (Kuttan, Arjun and Divya) who are close as thick as thieves sharing an unforgettable childhood and the same sense of humour.
Arjun, a son of an army man, went wayward after his parents divorced. We get the sense that he attributes his failure in life to his parents' separation. From a top student, he ended up being a dirt-bike racer and an occasional mechanic. His love interest turns out to be wheelchair-bound paraplegic. The positive thing about the film is the paraplegic character actually had a positive. Unlike a typical India movie where a far from 'perfect' person will usually sacrifice her life, here she is paved the way for a possible happy experience.
Happy forever and ever?
Kuttan is a goody-two-shoes who followed all the pointers given by his parents and is a software engineer. One day, Kuttan's father disappeared from their home. He left a note citing his desire to find peace and purpose in life. A subsequent letter clarifies that he actually must be enjoying himself in the laid back beaches of Goa, away from the smothering of his wife, Kuttan's mother. Kuttan also realises that his mother, though meaning well, could be quite a pain in the neck when she moved in with him.
Meanwhile, Kuttan is also finding love, naively thinking that a nice traditional Kerala girl would be ideal. His first love, a stewardess, proved disappointing. She used him to get back to her ex-boyfriend!
Divya, the only female of the trio, undergoes an arranged marriage to Shiva. After the wedding, Shiva and Divya move to Bangalore. By a twist of fate, her cousins land up in Bangalore. Divya soon discovers that her husband is far from intimate. Their marriage goes through a tailspin. Soon it is found that Shiva keeps a dark secret from his past.
The rest of the story is in trying to tie up everybody's life to a resolution and a happy ending. Inserted subtly into scenes are cryptic messages which tend to answer itself. One visible message is how Indians tend to parrot Western's way of dressing and embracing their culture while the Westerners look highly at the Indian way of living and cannot wait to immerse into them.
At the end of the film, Kuttan, who was looking out for a typical Bharat Natyam dancing Malayalee with long pleats for matrimony, found one in Michelle, a Caucasian girl fitting the above description!

I have never watched any Malayalam movie before as I don't know the language and I hate watching movies with subtitles on.A friend of mine suggested me to watch Bangalore Days and hence I decided to give it a try.Now,after watching,I don't feel disappointed at all. Coming to the story,it is a simple one about three cousins and how their lives have unfolded.I have seen similar movies before but what makes Bangalore Days different is the narration.You get a pleasant feeling throughout the movie.One particular that stands out is when Das and Divya go to meet Natasha's parents. All the lead actors have done justice to their role.Music(both songs and background score)is brilliant and it complements the mood of the film well.It helps audience to connect emotionally with the movie. Overall,there is nothing much to complaint about the movie.The movie's runtime is close to 3 hrs.Wish it could have been trimmed a little bit.But again,you won't complaint as long as you are watching it.It is a good movie and is definitely worth watching
Le saviez-vous
- AnecdotesBefore beginning the shooting of the movie, Dulqar, Nivin and Nazriya were made to take part in a grooming camp organized at Anjali Menon's house. This immensely helped in building up the relationship between them, who were playing cousins in the movie. Fahad Fazil was not allowed anywhere near the camp, considering the introvert behaviour of his character.
