Thottappan

This movie is absolutely a masterpiece of art in malayalam Industry just like Ee.Ma.yau, kumbalangi nights. I can't say this is just a Realistic movie.. the music,the bgm, and the visuals make this movie as a well cafted art. The plot is i think based on a malayalam novel that i read in my childhood.. the performance of those three people Vinayakan,Female actress and Roshan mathew is mind blowing. The starkids and some dumbs who came in this industry with luck like Priya warrier has to learn from these youngsters.

This is a brilliant movie Outstanding Making

Need to say about the Vinayakan,BGM and Camera Purely Best

Watched this movie 2nd time. One of the finest movies in Malayalam industry.

Vinayakayan was undeniably the finest and the toughest actor as usual. He portrayed extraordinarily about his love for the family and Sara kochu.

Priyamvada, i am speechless about her debut. Brilliant performance.

Movie is a must watch for everyone and never ever miss it.

"Thottappan" (Godfather) Malayalam movie Film adaptation of the short story by Francis Noronha. The story is of 'Ithakk' and his friend Jonnappan, petty thieves, Jonnappan's disappearance, Ithakk taking care of his friend's family . The story is happening in the backwater islands of Kochi, the villagers, their simple way of living ... all in a big canvas, to form the presentation. Even though the story starts with Ithakk on the centre stage, Sara, the God-daughter, takes the lead ... her upbringing, her surroundings, her interactions with the villagers, is the movie. Vinayakan as Ithakk lived through the character, protective nature of his God daughter, the possessiveness depicted well. Priyamvada, the debutant actress did well in Sara's role. Their relationship told in a raw and vivid manner, even her lover boy Ismail a/s esmu unable to breach the wall. Shanavas, the director took us through the presentation well, Screenplay by Rafeeque has uncanny similarity with 'Amen'. Photography reminds us of 'Kumbalangi nights'. Music is enjoyable. Even though the package is complete, presentation lacked the punch. 7 on 10 for this emotional drama. Malayalam movies are bold enough to take up unusual themes and present them well. Vinayakan leaves lasting memoirs, even after the movie.... that character is very strong.

Thottappan (Godfather) is a brilliant Malayalam production with some fascinating photography, electric performances, chirpy background score (that uses country samples), and some tight editing making you gape in awe, all of which makes it a breathtaking experience even if the plot struggles with some pacing issues and unanswered questions. Shanavas Bavakutty has outsmarted himself after Kismath (2016) with the absolute finesse that he directs his actors with. The level of detailing in Vinayakan's gait as well as his mannerisms should be jointly attributed to him and Bavakutty. And to get the best out of both newcomers and proven actors like Roshan Matthew and Manoj K Jayan is a task no easy. Yet what will stay with you after you complete watching this thriller drama is the beautiful scenes of the Kerala backwaters that just seems to act as a favourite backdrop for Malayalam cinema lately. All I can say is that I approve. Thottappan is a very good experience that you need to encounter in the biggest screen and the loudest audio system. Plus one to Priyamvada Krishnan for a great debut performance. TN.
