Thottappan

Fantastic performances by each and every actor in the movie. It's hard to believe that this is Priyamvada's debut movie. She's an actor to look out for. Interesting and engaging storyline with a healthy dose of all emotions. Never overly mushy. Never without logic. The movie shines bright in all departments. A must watch. I'm surprised it didn't bag many national awards.

This is a brilliant movie Outstanding Making

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

Thottapam handles not just the usual emotions of a couple falling in love but also the angles and the mixed emotions that a father goes through from his perspective. A definite feel good movie.

The direction has been brilliant and the actors have all done justice to their roles. I hope this becomes a benchmark for many more movies to come in the malayalam film industry.

Ps. I hope this gets Vinayakan another award to his kitty.

I knew this movie is going to be good but I didn't expect it to be this good. It's about the feelings you develop inside while diving in it. The poetic tone, visuals and music. It's like a magic. Loved the sounds of guitar, clarinet, flute and violins in this. Great music work by the musicians. It's really a rare thing when you feel you are gonna love a movie at first few minutes but this is one of that kind. When you see Vinayakan and Dileesh walking and talking in first few minutes, you get that feeling. And it never drops till the end. Priyamvada, Roshan and those few but great actors are doing a remarkable job.

"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.
