I have been looking forward to watch Narayaneente moonnaanmakkal the moment i saw Joju in the cast but still kept my expectations low and didn't watch the trailer , according to movie critic and youtuber Ashwant kok,one of the success of a movie lies in its ability to draw the viewer into its universe and keep you there without allowing you to drift out ,i whole heartedly agree with this view but kok seems not to be impressed with this movie by the debutante director Sharan Venugopal ,myself on the other-hand was immediately draw into the movie's universe , the cinematography is beautiful ,nothing fancy but it has its warm feel just as the movie demands ,the music and background score compliments well,checkout the aching soulful melodies of 'viral thodum',since time immemorial man is always searching he/she is reaching out towards the other who can somehow fill the void and this movie is a meditation on these themes , on love/separation the movie also touches on social issues centering on behavior of people which is rooted in deep bias and hypocrisy leading to some funny exchanges but it also points out that all this is furthering the misery towards others and themselves .... maybe we are all like that fish trapped in that bowl looking for that grand emancipation...

First of all , i must congratulate the entire crew involved in making this gorgeous short !the acting is top class and the animation is fantastic .The whole story is based on the book "El Monftruo de colores No Tiene Boca " a book based on the dreams of children and the director Brent Bonacorso has done exceedingly well to bring it in form of moving images.The dreams are always fascinating something which you can never define ,something which is stark ,blatant and innocent and this innocence that you will surely feel permeating the overall texture of the short.I can not miss out on appreciating the music because it equally reciprocates the grandness of the scenes,the music is composed by Devotchka , you will hear the accordion playing the tune of life ,sad,funny and so nostalgic .Every great film which is subjective of course but after watching such a film ,when the final scene fades away the images,the sound and the music has already resonated with you and in that split second you see a reflection that is you.A great short film that everyone should see.Go ahead .Dream on...
