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).

Bangalore days is full of life. The movie talks about the tale of three cousins who travel to Bangalore in the pursuit of chasing their dreams.

The story revolves around the journeys of these three twenty- somethings and how each one of them cops up in accordance to the twists and turns in their individual lives. Because it consists of a prestigious star cast, the expectation bar among the viewers regarding the flick was too high. And let me tell you, it is unmitigatedly worth the hype! The film is incorporated with appreciable transitions, commendable drollery, a congenial run time of 170 minutes and one of the most pleasurable story lines. All these factors bolstered by exquisite performances add to the film's charm fashioning it into a complete package.

Kudos to the person who took the task of assembling such an effulgent movie troupe. Nivin Pauly, as one of the three main leads, was as natural as he could have been. Also, the way he narrates their journey diversifies the script making it even more delectable. Nazriya, as the main female lead is creditable. She is much blessed with the skill of exhibiting emotional scenes and is bound to get better with age. Out of the three leads, Dulquer Salman's portrayal was paramount. Enacting the character of a rowdy biker driven by complex emotions is not a piece of cake, but Salman has hit the spot effortlessly. Fahadh Fasil has been the cream of the crop while enacting his part that of an angry young husband, his performance was just simply flawless! Parvathy Menon as RJ Sarah was like a cherry on the top, she definitely managed to make an impression. Other minor roles played by Isha Talwar and Kalpana were mediocre as well.

Anjali Menon has unambiguously managed to make a hit with her 2nd major directorial venture. Also, a distinguished and wondrous screenplay leaves you mesmerized. Editing and Cinematography departments have definitely aced at their respective jobs. All the locations from Kerala and Bangalore have been impeccably put on the big screen. Music and other background scores by Gopi Sunder too were very much above average.

Summarizing everything, Bangalore days is a perfect blend of meritorious drama, affable romance and rollicking comicality. Lovely is the word for it! People who take pleasure in watching jolly youth dramas and love stories will surely fall in love with this one.

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.

This movie restored faith my humanity. That we still care. To treat one another as more important than yourself. Live. Love. Follow your dreams. Passion. Is one of the Cutest Friendship stories. Laughs. I never thought people can be so nice.

I never got bored even for a sec. Every actor has acted so well, with great emotional depth, Even the dog makes u cry. Its been a while since I've seen a movie with such an emotional depth.

I don't usually watch movies of other languages with subtitles, this movie was my 1st. And now I know I shouldn't miss the master pieces, no matter which language they belong to.

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 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

Bangalore days is full of life. The movie talks about the tale of three cousins who travel to Bangalore in the pursuit of chasing their dreams.

Bangalore Days opens with a narrative style of Navin Pouli - the story is about 3 cousins and their different temperaments and lives.Though each personality is very different from one other, their bond which is portrayed through an excellent screenplay is what makes the film special. In these days where own families do not support each other when things get tough, this movie portrays how these 3 cousins stay together through thick and thin.

Coming to the characters: Divya/Nazriya - Resilient, sharp witted and independent in the true sense; is exceptional. Her portrayal of how a modern Indian woman is expected to conform is spot on but her free spirit is destined to do much more.

Kutta/Navin - The quintessential small town software engineer, who wants to explore new places, earn money but finally wants a homely girl who will cook for him and serve him.

Arjun/Dilquer - The romeo, the free spirit who doesn't care for rules or perceptions. Extremely impulsive, he does what his heart tells him to do. This character is the glue in the 3 lives, and brings the whole story to life.

Finally, Mr. Das/Fahd - the brooding/depressed/chauvinistic husband who is actually not any of the above but his past has made him who he is today. Well portrayed by Fahd.

The RJ and short appearance by Menon along with all the supporting family members add to the chutzpah of the movie. This movie will make you laugh and cry.

Go watch it, its 3 hours long but you would never look at your watch once and its worth every penny. I give it a 7.5 as some of the sequences could have been more real.

No, its not a bad movie, but its definitely not worth the hype. First things first, the movie is blessed with an awesomely energetic cast. The first 20 minutes were a breeze, thanks to the lightheartedness, the mockery of our Nair Tharavadus and Nivin Pauly, this despite that wedding song (Thun thuna ney na... and than thana ney na... where do you come up with such deep lyrics I wonder!). It feels like Anjali Menon is picking up from where she left us at the end of "Manjadikuru", letting us know what happened to those cousins as they grew up.

The movie follows three (and a half) different story arcs of the three (and a half) main leads connected by their intermittent get-together at Rasta Cafe (I give it to them for their will to drive 50 KMs routinely through the Bangalore traffic for some coffee).

Dulquer plays the cool dude, the biker, the rebel, the go-to guy, the RJ stalker among other things with a look that has become quite a regular with him now. He might soon start getting type cast. But then he carries it off so well. Nivin plays the simpleton trying to get along with the city life. However caricaturish the role and performance, I just loved the character and this was the track I liked the most. Nasriya plays the lighthearted girl who gets into an arranged marriage way too early and to someone who doesn't make it easy, played seamlessly well by Fahad, despite the boring/unconvincing character (and that's where we get the half character and story arc).

Of the 2 other main characters, Parvathy gets a meaty role and plays it to perfection, while Isha gets a role that suits her very well - of looking good and breaking hearts (with none of the innocence of her earlier role in a thattum). And then there is Kalpana who cracks us up in the second half and of course Vijayaraghavan in that one scene where he is only heard...brilliant! Nithya Menon in her cameo is, well, BAD and yes, it does breaks my heart to say that.

Despite the superficiality, the movie entertains in parts, but not as a whole. It stretches so, especially the Nasriya-Fahad track which is the least convincing and boring. Dulquer's track is predictable till the entry of Parvathy Menon. She has a very interesting character to play and without giving away any spoilers, keeps things from going downhill. Coming to the highlight of the movie (to me), its Kuttan, played by Nivin Pauly. That innocent, simpleton who finds it almost impossible to get along with the new lifestyle, the one who gawks at people kissing in public, but can't accept it. The reason behind the mallu hypocrisy which many fail to see.

The movie handles the arranged marriage, the transition of a naive young boy to the city lifestyle and such nuances very well. Music is just about good, the background score though should not have been so obviously plagiarized. Scenes and locations are great, after all, the movie focuses on good looking faces and places. Like my cousin's 5-year old said, "Wow! No garbage on Bangalore roads!!!" You need some serious cinematography talent or CGI to achieve that.

At the end, Bangalore Days, ends up being a Malayalam movie in Bollywood format, a "Dil Chahta Hai" for us. You got the multi star cast, you got the good looking people and locations, you even got the wedding song and dance... its got the works. A"Karan Johar"-ization of Malayalam cinema (of course at a much better quality). You know the kind, where someone, who is seemingly an entry level employee at an IT services firm (which has a training center at Mysore...now which one was that?) but lives in a fully furnished Confident group ka flat, all ALONE (no roommates and no scope to share rent). He hasn't even been onsite yet!! Since when did they start paying so well??? Come on guys, please set realistic expectations. Anjali Menon, you should make more responsible movies. Now, how am I gonna explain to my relatives that we don't live like that here! Finally, did I like the movie? Well, I've got a love-hate thing going for "Bangalore Days". Loved that someone attempted a decent "Dedication to Bangalore from a Malayalee" and Hated that they deviated mid way. Loved the cousin camaraderie and Bangalore parts, Hated that it turned into a candy-floss, cliché' ridden, Bollywood-ization of Malayalam Cinema. Loved the Nivin Pauly character and the half-decent Dulquer track, but absolutely Hated the Nasria story.

Seriously, this movie is overrated. Nothing really happens in this movie. We've got three cousins and we're shown how they're spending their time. Each of them have got problems of their own and they try to sort it out. The acting is sub par with the only good performance done by Fahadh Faasil. Nivin pauly tries hard in comedy but does not succeed much. Dulquer tries to look menacing but does not come up to the mark. Nazriya is really bad. The story turns melodramatic and songs are there for no reason. Songs were actually good, but there is no context for these songs in the movie. And what's with putting the setting as Bangalore? Seriously, this story could've taken place in any of the cities of India. Kochi would've been fine. I won't say this is a complete failure. It is only overrated. If you have nothing else to do and is ready to see a movie which is all style and no substance, then watch this movie.

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!

It gives me indescribable pleasure. It's really a very soft, lovely & romantic film. The musics were also very good although I didn't get them clearly! Acting was good by the role characters. The best thing here is the plot & the flow of the moments. It also provides some little good messages regarding life. I had not been little bored watching it. It touched my heart. Best one!

Loved this movie so much that I watched it so many times and made others also watch and translated it to them.. enjoyed each and every character of the movie and lived the momemts of the film...three lives, their ambitions and life and how it unfolds along the passage of time. It actually gave me strength and belief to trust THE CONTENT of Malayalam movies these days.

,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.

In the beginning, I couldn't much understand where the story was heading, but eventually it started feeling good. Had the feeling of watching a movie that I could relate myself with, after a long time. ANd thats probably why I loved the movie.Comedy was something I really loved. All of this, after I watched the movie with subtitles(I don't know Malayalam). And I can't imagine how I would have felt had I known Malayalam. Edit: I have watched this movie three times, three days in a row, which has never happened for me with any other movie. The more I watched it, the more I am loving it.

If I'm sad I'll watch Bangalore days Happy I'll watch Bangalore days neutral I'll watch Bangalore days I can watch this movie anytime everytime without getting bored.

There are people who review that this movie changed their life and restored hope. I don't get it. This movie is not worth the hype. Like yes, it's a good entertainer and something people can relate to and yeah, I liked it but it definitely didn't do any sort of miracle work for me. The plot is nice and different-something that we don't usually get in Malayalam movies but it doesn't deserve a 10. It's a decent flick that makes you smile at the love the characters have for each other and the simplicity of the story but it's a movie that can only be watched once. It sticks in your mind, sure, but only for a short while. It's a good movie with great acting (and amazing songs) but not one that leaves a lasting impression. It's good to watch if you're bored and wanna kill time.

Oh, but Nivin Pauly was the best part of the whole movie. Just saying.

I just stumbled across this movie on Amazon and I can't stop thinking about it. I am now trying to figure out how to watch every movie by Anjali Menon. Incredible cast, story and direction. And the cinematography had me longing for Bangalore. Kudos!

Awesome movie from mollywood..luvd it..must watch feel gud kinda movie..lovely bondin of cousins were well portrayed..This movie open up the sweetest memories with their cousions..

I like the movie but overrated and what makes me furious is the name of the movie Why name it Bangalore Days when the movie doesn't have any essence of Bangalore or the locals in it. The title could have been anything like.. Golden days, college days, etc. This movie is a total insult to Bangalore. Just a cheap strategy to get more viewers.

I have started watching Malayalam movies recently. This is the second movie of my Malayalam watchlist. Once started, I couldn't pause it. The casts were brilliant, the flow and twists were on point. Being an inhabitant of a big city, I never realized that life in a city is not just giant buildings or getting stuck in traffic. Life is so full of surprises. You just have to believe in it.

Out of all the new generation movies that are coming out of Malayalam movie industry, I could easily say this one stands far better. Sweet and gentle enough to be watched with the company of your parents and family while also quirky and young for a movie night with your friends. Unlike any other new generation movies, this does not make you squirm in your seat. In fact I think, you should make your parents watch this movie especially if you are a teen. It has got a lot of meaningful facts that can be shared and is definitely a thought provoker

Fahadh Faasil has time and again proved that he is a force to reckon with when it comes to acting and this movie further establishes this fact. The movie is filled with casts that is powerful and true to their characters. Nobody disappoints you in their roles whether it is Dulquer Salmaan as Arjun aka Aju or Nivin Pauly as Krishnan P P aka Kuttan or Nazriya Nazim as Divya Prakash aka Kunju or even Parvathy Menon as RJ Sarah. Even minuscule roles were polished to perfection like that of Isha Talwar as Meenakshi and Nithya Menen as Natasha Francis.

This movie is both a treasure and pleasure worth watching. The messages were strong along with performances and plot. The comic elements are spot on without being forced or cliché. The other bright spot is definitely the music.

In spite of being a new generation movie, it is not "in your face" and has a clean and effective screenplay. No Bawdy jokes or double meaning dialogs that make you run for cover.

Wait till the very end for a mind blowing twist or plot diversion.
