Angamaly Diaries

Watched this movie three times, each with different groups of people. Unfortunately none of the groups was impressed with this movie, but I loved it - better each time.

People dislike this movie for its foul language and general rowdy sequences. But I loved the movie because of how the scenes are intelligently connected to each other and how the director has extracted the best out of the actors. Everyone has acted well. Special mention has to be given to Antony Varghese and Sharath Kumar, but all others (Lichi, Pepe's sister etc) have given their best in their roles. I think the credit must go to the director.

Only during my second viewing did I notice that the climax sequence was one single shot. It is absolutely brilliantly done. It is amazing how naturally the actors join and leave the scene, slowly building up the tempo. Almost like watching a moving play. Those who haven't watched the movie - pay special attention to the sequence. It is a treat you don't want to miss.

It is good to see that this movie was received very well and has received many positive reviews. I was kind of disappointed that the people that I watched the movie with were not impressed. I guess I watched the movie with the wrong crowds :)

LJP is at his best . Do watch if u like realistic stories .

The raw yourthfullness and vigor portrayed in the movie is what makes me feel sgort of words..The naive attitude shared by the teenager boys forming a cult gang inspired by local big brothers is admirable to see...kerala rich cuisine being relished with toddy... its an awesome sight to enrich our senses in the movie....and the real no stuntman fight raw scenes are endearing & real and does not lead us to fantasy land...morover it reminds me of the macho old days that we aspire in our youthful times..with maturity coming in, how we switch over to sobriety!!!overall a Great Movie.

I seem to have missed something in this movie that everyone else seems to see and love. The cast and the acting were on point (especially considering it was debut roles for most). I loved how it isn't one big sugar coated- it is real, raw, and unflinchingly bold. However, at some parts i was cringing at what seemed like a farrago of violence (that was getting really redundant), crassness and some more violence, with the essence of a real plot somehow missing. Even after finishing 3/4th of movie, some part of me was still waiting for the story to begin- or at least take a twist. It wasn't my cup of tea, or maybe i just had too much expectations. Nevertheless, the technical aspects of the film was remarkably good! :)

i sorry that i am short on my review , i don't usually review movies but this one is worth it

It is said that 86 new faces were introduced in this movie , take my word for that none of them were giving out a fell like that
