North 24 Kaatham

Fahadh is an amazing actor. He just gets into the skin of the character which makes the role lively and highly accepted by the audience. He plays an OCD person who is particular about his own way and is not a social person. This movie shows the change in the person by the situations he faces while on a journey and how 2 people had an impact in his life. Enjoyed the movie which was simple and something to which we could relate to.

Ten years later and this is still fahadh's most underrated performance. Fahadh is a phenomenon today, with his roles in Aavesham and pan-indian films like Vikram and Pushpa gaining him acclaim. But this movie was made in a time where the actor had to prove himself as not just a nepo baby. I think North 24 Kaatham helped this view that after mamooka and lalettan, he was gonna be the best that mollywood had to give. And damn he is basically unrecognizable in his role. Like everything from mannerisms to the way he moves his eyes sternly at the beginning and becomes more free at the end is perfect. Its sad that this movie's print is so crappy because he was mere perfection in this film and shows us how this man managed to achieve the unimaginable success he has today. The best part is: the rest of the movie is pretty great too, with standouts being nedumudi venu's and swathi reddy's performances and the beauty and diversity of kerala being expertly portrayed on screen.

There is some movie which will make you feel good. This is one of them-a simple storyline but presents with excellence. Cinematography, Detailing, and Acting all are top-notch. I am a big fan of Fahad, and after this, the feeling going stronger. You don't need to have an action scene or dancing or item song to create a good movie. All you need a script with the proper casting and direction.

If you are having a bad day or want to get rid of tension, watch it. End of it, I will believe you will feel the same I did.

This movie is almost flawless. Iam quiet astonished that it have not received an 8+ rating. Perfect picturisation and background score. Its fast paced and eventful with comedic moments. Fahad portrayed his character with OCD to absolute perfection. Its all about his expression. Must watch film.

Released in September this year, I'd been hearing a lot of good reviews about North 24 Kaatham, but I couldn't catch it at the movies and I woefully regret it now. North 24 Kaatham is indeed a casual watch with not the thickest of storyline or the best of direction but for what its worth it bring out a warm feeling from within. I loved it and I have to shout how good it is, period!

North 24 Kaatham by débutante director Anil Radhakrishan Menon is assured to be a good time. An IT professional with OCD, an elderly school teacher and an NGO activist makes for an odd trio who takes a trip through a hartal-stricken Kerala's one end to the other. Stumbling on to crass and caricatures alike, comedy has been spattered from frame one to the end and it doesn't bore you for even a second. Hari's fish outta water sequences were the best among the lot.

Having starred in more than 10 movies this year and most of them garnering enough attention, Fahadh Faasil is a force to reckon with. A well established actor by now, this guy has proved that he can handle any role with ease. The OCD-ridden Harikrishnan he plays here is a perfect example where he displays a prodigious performance with the least of dialogs. Nedumudi Venu, one of my favorites, is never less impressive. Swathi Reddy, fresh outta her Amen debut and despite her weird lip-sync issues, manages to steal some smiles as well. Familiar faces like Geetha, Sreenath Bhasi, Chemban Vinod and Premji Amaren makes good use of the screen time they were given.

Ah and the music, such wonderful tunes that goes well with the visuals. Rex Vijayan's title track 'Thanaro' deserves to be stuck in that little niche in your head at least for some days. Govind Menon's score was also pleasing to the ears. I'd recommend North 24 Kaatham to anybody seeking some good fun. Its fresh, its fun and unlike me, its never too late for you to regret.
