Double Barrel

To all variety seeker Double Barrel will be an wonderful treatment. After Amen, Lijo Jose Pellisseri comes with a brave attempt in Malayalam Cinema like we've never seen before.A group of gangsters set out in search of two diamonds named "Laila and Majnu", which are worth only when they a together.Even though the story was simple,the movie got international look.Great visuals by Abhinandan Ramanujan by the use of Red Dragon Camera and the variety songs composed by Prashant Pillai are another plus points of the film.The Double Barrel give a feeling of reading a comic book,So we have to see this movie in the mindset of kid to enjoy movie.But don't expect Amen or his other movies.Director's approach towards film making was different from others. LJP doesn't want to make same kind of movies.His each movie is different from one another,in style,story,treatment..etc. Double Barrel is labeled as Gangster spoof film.As a experimental movie of course it has some negatives also.But I don't care about that,for me the movie was a great visual treat and entire cast was awesome-Prithviraj,Indrajith,Asif Ali,Arya..etc.May be it's style was inspired from the movies of Quentin Tarantino and Guy Ritchie. The costumes and style of characters reminded me of famous gangsters in Hollywood.Totally Double Barrel is my cup of tea.I think it's not everyone's cup of tea.I must admit that Double Barrrel is Bold Experimental movie released in Malayalam. Try to watch it in theaters. Lijo Jose Pellissery is Malayalam's original next- generation filmmaker.

After watching Double Barrell a.k.a Eratta Kuzhal, opinions would be polar, i.e., either you will like it tremendously, or you will hate it. Many movie goers are not able to connect with the film. Reason being primarily the movie not following a template seen in malayalam or rather Indian cinema. Those who are familiar with Guy Ritchie's movies like snatch, Rock,n,rolla will appreciate the bold and tremendous attempt by the makers. This movie doesn't have your typical heroes, villains, love track and a comedy track. This is story of some really messed up mad characters coming together in a very mad script (there are many characters all of equal importance).

Honestly, I believe this movie is still ahead of its time in malayalam cinema. Audience might not be ready for such experiments. Like Padmarajan movies in the past, this will get its due in the years to come. Salute to Lijo Jose and Prithviraj for such a brave attempt. Please do not stop what you are doing based on the box-office returns, because you are doing right stuff.

An extra ordinary effort taken film in Malayalam industry, New styles and linguistics coming in, and should say it's one of the first films in Malayalam industry to bring in a thematic absurdness of life through such intensified scenes. Hats off to the whole team!

Story about two precious pair of stones laila and majnu and a Don trying to sell it.If this was a Hollywood film it will definitely won awards.Indian audiences as well as even critics didn't had the knowledge what Lijo tried to tell.Move away your logic and enjoy this masterpiece.Cinematography is excellent and bgm is rave.If you want to enjoy in its peak then roll an joint and watch.

(Please pardon for my English) This movie is a wonder. From start the movie tells the story about the two stones(Laila,Majnu). The stone handed over from persons to persons and country to country with background of Historical facts. Incredible photography,great concepts, funny dialogs and good casting. My experience is that each frame of this movie is colorful. The detail is incredible can't lift my eyes. Technically, conceptually this movie can be wonder in Malayalam movie industry. And need guts to take risk One can call it a comedy movie,art movie or Gangster movie or Fantasy movie. This includes all of it I think. In my opinion this movie have some similarities with comedy movies like Nadodikattu,Patanapravesham,Akkareakkareakkare up-to some degree.
