Tiyaan

The grandeur of Tiyaan is enough to attract you into its world of magical realism and religious madness but blame the tepid screenplay the journey becomes long-winded and repetitive. Prithviraj Sukumaran is a Muslim demi-god of sorts who is out here to bring about communal peace by helping Indrajith Sukumaran's Brahmin character keep his honor. Murali Gopy is the prime villain of the world in the disguise of a sick Hindu godman remind you of the news headline you read today. Religious extremism has been sampled before in countless films, but not as intricately as in Jiyen Krishnakumar's debut feature that has more to do with the current scenario and state of religions and quasi-religions in the world and their conjunction that often has dire consequences. Running at more than 160 minutes, the film hopes to convey few messages about blind piety and how it is affecting the brotherhood but ends up dissolving in its own vile complexity. What starts as a bearable drama with potential to raise questions turns into a mess that has multiple interpretations, none of which make sense owing to the lack of clarity in idea. Tiyaan is, thus, an ambitious play about the effects of theology in a world filled with blind faith and power abuse, and if you are hoping to enjoy it, take packets of patience as offerings. TN.

I highly recommend every Indian should watch this movie which is against Godmen in our country. Glad that Gopi's son had the guts to pen down a strong script based on this. Hats off to Prithviraj to produce this movie. Lot of applause to Indrajith who made his father Sukumaran proud of his selective roles. The way he delivers each dialogue is breath taking. He has such a great masculine voice. 1000 words is not enough to praise the star power shown by prithviraj in this movie. His Hindi dialogues and the way he walks during actions scenes is a motivation to theatre front row boys to clap their hands till it pains. Wish i can also watch it in our Indian theatres with rest of prithviraj fans. Gopi's son's script is amazing and so thrilling till the end. Prithviraj was too too good in action scenes and after his transaction in the movie. Highly recommending you all my dear brothers to watch this movie.

Tiyaan' is a film that demands a totally different perspective while watching. The story and the subtle details provided on non-dualism and non-dualistic philosophy throughout were something not for the regular moviegoers. It requires a further and sometimes even deeper understanding of 'monism' and monistic principles. And this was the fundamental reason, why the movie deploys characters and instances that en-route from a dualistic standpoint towards a monistic juncture.

Hence, judging it by the terms which were widely used in the dialogues, and linking those terms with the 'Hindutva ideology' would be totally unfruitful and misinterpreting, because what the movie tried to tell was much more grandiose than a mere religious belief system.

There were instances, which I need to admit that the film failed and even fell flat on its face. The half-baked characters, commercialization of the visuals for the mass audience and even the execution in certain parts were totally disappointing. Apart from it, the movie is nothing less than a gem that came out this year.

It is not a movie that conveys a message to the human society, rather one of its kind that gives it to the human mind and soul.

First f all this s not everyone's movie.... In that week itself when I saw this movie for the first time I had watched the same more than thrice.... that much it is For me.... gives tons f +veness to me by learning something from this awesome film. Ladies and gentlemen, you all must see this film and you all must learn a huge fact that, there is an ULTIMATE POWER that controls the entire UNIVERSE and we all belongs to him. In fact we all are a part of than enormous amount of energy. Without his permission nothing has happened in this. Universe and without him nothing is going to happen at the same time. We all need to understand a huge fact that, the ultimate power is INSIDE US. He has given that knowledge through a lot of ways and this movie s one among those. Not just to learn from it but we need to follow it i our life. The best part of the movie is the CLIMAX itself saying that The HIDDEN, The UNKNOWN, The ULTIMATE power is INSIDE us which means both the Lord and ourself are the same. I'm not sure about the word that could be used to explain this in a single term. In Hinduism it's Called as THATHWAMASI, which means "IT IS YOU" or "IT IS YOURSELF". WaTch it and learn whether the way I expressed and the movie's message is same or not. God bless you all...

Prithviraj is well-known for choosing quality scripts and his joining hands with acclaimed screenwriter-actor Murali Gopy was enough and more for generating huge pre-release buzz and as such Tiyaan was among the well-anticipated movies to come out from Mollywood this calendar year.Could the movie live up to all the mammoth expectations surrounding it?I would say 'No'.So,is the movie a bad one? Certainly 'No'!

A decent flick overall,Tiyaan is a satisfactory mix of drama,politics,realism and mysticism,but lacks depth and soundness to call it a dedicated effort in a whole.The screenplay by Murali Gopy intelligently intertwines spiritualism with political scenario of the time being,but never tries hard to render the plot conclusive,especially towards the second hour where it turns just another mediocre cat and mouse chase between the good and the evil.

Jeeyen Krishnakumar's narration was pretty ordinary and had notable flaws that became more noticeable with the onset of the second half.Evidently the first half of Tiyaan was more entertaining and well-presented on comparison with the strictly average second half.It should be admitted that the movie would have reached another level had the narrative been foolproof and the screenplay been penned with a little more care and perfection.

Both Indrajith and Prithviraj Sukumaran were equally good in their respective roles and it was a treat to watch the actors mouthing the powerful and hard hitting dialogs written by Murali Gopy.MuraliGopy's act as demi-god Mahakshay Bhagwan was good even though his expressions was monotonous for the major part of the narration. ll Overall,Tiyaan is worth a watch for the brilliant lead performances,socially relevant plot and the noteworthy message that movie puts forward.Watch out for the sequences that enlight upon the meaning of 'Sanathana Dharma' and 'Tathwamasi' that's sure to evoke goosebumps for the cinema-lover inside you ! :-)
