Maheshinte Prathikaaram

From 2014's end to 2016's beginning can be considered as a dark period for Fahad Fassil. Money Ratnam, Mariyam Mukku, Haram, Ayal Njanalla, Monsoon Mangoes were back to back flops. So when my friend invited me to this movie, I didn't really wanted to go. But I went anyway. And I stood up and clapped as the credits rolled. It was the first day. The theater was half empty. Maheshinte Prathikaram ended up being one of the greatest hits ever in Malayalam Cinema.

Maheshinte Prathikaaram is the film I didn't want to be finished. I literally clapped after finishing the movie. This is all because of the brilliance of the writer Syam Pushkaran & Director Dileesh Pothan. Syam Pushkaran is also The Writer of Kumbalangi Nights - the film that made me a fan of Malayalam Cinema.

The film can't be put in one genre. It is funny, romantic & also thrilling. The film won Best Screenplay & Best Film in Malayalam in 64th National Film Award. A Beautiful Movie Experience.

You Can watch The Film on ManoramaMAX.

Ever read a Maeve Binchy novel? Her books are never about just the central character but about the towns in Ireland, their people, culture and how all the characters are interwoven seamlessly to one another. MP is more than Mahesh's sweet revenge. It's about Idukki and its people. This is probably not a movie that I'd recommend to a non Malayali as the essence of the movie would be lost to them. This is one of my all time favourite movies of all time. Yes, it's slow paced and the plot is thin but this is a movie that one must savour like an exquisite wine. What a beautiful movie!! I became a fan of Fahadh Faasil after this one.

Fahadh lived as the character 🔥🔥. Aparna alsoo....

It is a 'Super' film with the amazing acting from Fahad Fasil, Aparna, Soubhin, Alancier, Jaffer Idukki and Antony Kochi.

It is also a 'Natural' film with the amazing nature of 'Idukki'.

*After watching this film, I decided to go to meet my relatives in Idukki when I get to Kerala. Especially, the slang and language in Idukki is beautifully used in this film.

And the song 'Idukki' with lines, Ividuthe Kaattanu kaattu.... is very nostalgic. No words to express my feelings about this film. I'll surely suggest this film to anyone who love Malayalam Cinema.

Simply, "Beautiful".
