Carbon

There is a time in everyone's life when we fantasized. We imagine things in our head and twist reality to our whim, so much so that sometimes, the two worlds get confusingly mixed up. Most of us 'grow out' of this after we become adults and the child inside fades away. But what about those of us who don't fully grow up? Is there any place for fantasy in our overcrowded minds and overpopulated lives?

Carbon tells us the story of one such guy who is stuck inside his dreamworld, or rather half stuck. He doesn't have a job, but he has an abundance of schemes and ploys which can make him rich overnight. None of these schemes ever work though, either because they're too far-fetched in the first place or due to plain bad luck. He is, in society's words, a loser. What would such a person do when he realises that reality has long caught up with him? Does he give in to the blandness of the real world or does the dreamer inside him push him to do something beyond logic, in absolute desperation.

This is a beautiful film which many of us can painfully relate to on several levels. The responsibilities towards your home, your aging father standing at the bus stop, your friend who has an own house and a new wife, all of which call out to you, asking, what are you doing with your life?

We can feel the brilliance of film making in Carbon. It is engaging, thrilling and acting is top notch. Fahad was superb in his role and Mamta & all others were brilliant too. Though there are many things right about this movie, I felt the climax spoiled the entertainment value of the movie. I seriously couldn't understand what exactly the story-maker was trying to convey through last 10 minutes. Fantasy and reality were blended too close so that I couldn't figure it out what happened in the climax. I appreciate the approach, but seriously believe the film deserves much better ending. The director opened all sort of paths wide open letting viewers to fancy their imaginations. Watch it and see what you could figure it out from it...Good Luck.

First of all the character Sibi was potrayed perfectly by Fahad fasil . This story revolves around a person named Sibi who is looking for an easy way to earn money . He is a person who does a lot of mischivious things for money. The first half gives us a character sketch of Sibi . Mamta mohandas , manikandan has also performed well. The director (venu) has done a good job as the movie is kept interesting till the end and according to my opinion there was no lag . He has been able to potray the forest beautifully but it could have been done in a better way. Some of the songs were very good while others was above average . The background help us gripping in to situation in the movie. K.U mohanan has given us some beautiful shots in the forest . Above all Fahads character potrayal has been one of the best by any of the youngsters . So watch it in theatres. It's a good movie

Well this movie is totally different from the other adventure chiller's, after watching this movie you would get to know the another meaning of your life. The fist half is all about the character Siby Sebastian's (Fahadh Faasil) connections to his daily life situations but the Second half is just came from no where just fascinating to watch with full of chills and thrills on a adventurous ride on its rich layers. In a self-discovery path where the man could able to chase his dreams or not??

Fahad is brilliant as always and the whole supporting cast are almost as great as him still the film gives enough space for Fahad to outshine all of them. Cinematography, subtle characterisation, juxtaposing the protagonist with everyone and everything else all works perfectly. The only problem was that at times it feels very atmospheric but looses that clarity at other times. The journey through the jungle coukd have been a bit more tighter but looking it as the uneasiness of characters communicaying to the audience it works but it was also a little bit uneven with the tone that could have been used considering the rest of the film. If not for these minor problems I would have gave it a higher rating.
