Ennu Ninte Moideen

The poignant tale of Moideen and Kanchanamala separated by society and fate with one voice is well-known to all and débutant R.S.Vimal who earlier released a documentary on the same titled 'Jalam Kondu Murivettaval' have come up with a silver screen depiction of the same,the result being a memorable cinematic experience.

Set in and around 1960's Calicut,the biographical period drama is a touching affair altogether that's blessed with some stellar performances from the lead pair,hearty narration,sumptuous visuals and emotionally moving background score.One will instantly feel banded together with the intense love between the central characters due to the genuinity in narration by Vimal and the intensity that both Prithviraj and Parvathy shower to the characters invested upon them.

The fact that Vimal could succeed in presenting the cinematic version of a real life love story without going over the top by itself is truly remarkable and the débutant can be proud of the fact that he could give full justice to the eternal love between the Moideen and Kanchanamala.

The remodeling of the period was brilliant and mixing up the social scenario of then with the love-story was done impressively by the director who has written the screenplay by himself.Rain comes forth as the heart and soul of the narration,symbolizing the emotions of the protagonists and their hopes throughout the narration.

On the negative side,the second half looked a bit over-trimmed for the sake of gaining pace and reducing the length of the movie.Rest of the minor loopholes in the screenplay are easily negligible.Its evident that the story will easily connect with both families and youngsters and as such the movie is sure to make it big in both box office along with critical consensus.

Prithviraj was outstanding as the marble-eyed Moidheen and won the hearts with his lovable charisma and touching portrayal of the lead character.Moideen will be counted among his array of brilliant portrayals in his illustrious career and is sure to bring in a good share of accolades this year.Parvathy was equally brilliant as Kanchanamala and amazed with her extraordinary hold while presenting emotional sequences.Tovino Thomas,Lena and Sai Kumar were notable and gave worthy performances.

Backgroundscore by Gopi Sunder was epic and a major helping hand for conveying the emotions to the viewers.The song bit "Ennile Ellinaal" in particular was outstanding and is sure to be long-remembered.Visuals by Jomon.T.John were brilliant and captured the essence of 60's really well.

Overall,Ennu Ninte Moideen is an emotionally touching drama that deserves watch for its genuinity and perfect recreation of the 60s.

Verdict::Emotionally brimming right from the start towards the end,Ennu Ninte Moidheen is a proficient cinematic take on the eternal love story between Moideen and Kanchanamala that is sure to win the hearts of viewers.Leap into this intense tale of love !!

One of the best love stories made in Indian cinema! Such an heart wrenching tale with exceptional performances by the actors. My hear just broke into a thousand pieces after watching this movie. Such a well made movie with so much honesty n emotions. Must watch!

This is 100 times great love than "Romeo and Juliet".Kanchanamala's tolerance and sacrifices towards love is unbelievable .Kanchanamala you are goddess of love.

It was hard to believe that every scene in the film was based on true incident after seeing the Kanchanamals documentary I was shocked and realized, every single scene in the film was their life.Hats off to director R.S Vimal for his initiative to take this film and his struggle.He got an excellent team to make this film especially Prithiviraj and Parvathy who played lead role as Moideen and Kanchanamala.In the film they lived as the characters and we cant even think this film is directed by a debut director and he has succeeded in bringing the 60's real-life

The Cinematography is superb and catches every expressions of the nature as it is played a major role the film .Jomon T John has done a fabulous job as a cinematographer.

The art directon is next big thing that helps the director to recreate 1960's and it is by Gokul Das.

The music for the film is by M Jayachandran and Ramesh Narayan. Gopi Sunder's background score boosted the life of the film.

The team work of the film is excellent every one should be thankful toward each other for the success of the film

Oh Moideen and Kanchanamala you are great....

An Intimate portrayal of two lives from a débutante director...

M Jayachandran's music, Jomon T John's cinematography and Gopi Sunder's background score exalts the movie to a wholly different level.

Even though the movie lacks a grip and over-stretches at times, the breathtaking visuals, art direction and the constant reminder that it's based on a real story redeems the film..transcending all the boundaries of fact and fiction..

Moideen and Kanchanamala's saga of love has been enacted on screen by Prithviraj and Parvathy with a lot of subtlety and conviction.

Its one among those rarest of rare stories in which real life has more dramatic twists and turns than in a thriller movie..

A commendable work of art indeed..

7 stars..

Watch it for the indescribable feeling that will descend after hearing a story like this.Watch it if you have empathy and feel the pain. A pain most describable if you ever loved someone like this.Watch it for the experience. Now coming to the translation of the story into screenplay. I feel, the movie could have used some editing. There were parts in the beginning that dragged and I could hear people say during the interval "what was all that hype about?""Maybe we came with too much expectations" etc etc Let me assure you,no such feeling was shared in the second half of the movie. Intense scenes of desperation laced with passion of their love took over. The story line definitely carries the movie a long way. This review would be incomplete without a mention about the amazing picturization. The rain scenes made you feel like you were actually there smelling the aroma of mud wet from rain (A pleasant treat for all who are away from sweet home Kerala). The casting was perfect - each actor competing with themselves to give their best performance. My personal favorite was Parvathy, Lena and Sai kumar. Overall, who doesn't like a movie that renders an experience? I would definitely recommend it that too in a movie theater. I cant possibly imagine missing out on the details of picturization in any small screen or anything less than HD.
