    Dark page of Malayalam Cinema

    Moothon sets an new genre to Malayalam cinema.it tells a story as deep as dark in his way it self. It is interesting even it is an drama by plot. You can try this for a new experimental Malayalam movie. By performance Nivinpauly and Mathew carried this film on their shoulder. Music and cinematography are remarkable.

    A welcome change for Malayalam cinema.

    After watching Moothon, I thought about every scenes of the movie from start to end. The scenes in Moothon was the only thing in my mind for a long time. That is the kind of impact Moothon had in me and the it's a win for the whole crew. To be honest, there's nothing like Moothon in Malayalam cinema till this date and I don't think there will be a film like this in near future. Yes, Jallikattu was an exceptional movie and its hard to pick which was better but you'll know how both are different after watching this. Geethu Mohandas tackles all social toboos and just went on with her gut, hats off to that. Speaking of performances, Nivin Pauly gave us a performance for ages. This is not the Nivin Pauly you have seen before. This is simply his best performance. All the other supporting cast were brilliant and I'm not giving individual references as all were equally remarkable. Rajeev Ravi's cinematography was another level and he's simply one of the best in India. The music, editing also truly remakable. There's so much to talk about Moothon. Again, this movie is not for everyone and I guess many people will dislike it because the story is completely new to the Malayalam audiences. I'm a true cinema lover and I liked this movie very much because its pure art.

    A Dark Tale of Love.

    This film really deserves its due credits. The narrative itself is so much touchy that the dark and raw essence of the emotion is still intact in it. A beautiful love story taking such a dark turn. The first thing which is to be appreciated is the performances. I would say each and everyone were great but Nivin Pauly took his dark character seriously to the next level. Playing a guy who hides his pain in the first part and then as a drug addict in the second one. Its unbelievable that it is the same guy I witnessed as a tamed personality in Bangalore Days. Roshan Mathew too, in a short screen time without uttering a single dialogue beautifully potrayed a character through his spellbound expressions and his eyes. The camera work too is phenomenal. The panning of the camera for recording the rain sequence and atlast the distorted camera work during the outburst of the character was something brilliantly done. Moreover, the messaging of the film is very much touchy and surely one of a kind. I will surely recommend this movie. Do give it a watch. Its something which probably you have never witnessed with such an ease.

    Something most should enjoy

    Very dark but a great watch it kept me on the edge of my seat really intense story
    9cool_andhot

    Just beautiful

    Though the film tells the story in Malayalam and Hindi, this is an International movie. The direction, Acting, Screen play and cinematography deserves to be seen by International audience to understand that Indian Cinema is not cliched Bollywood but beyond that. Please watch and appreciate good movies.
