    Bewildered a new auspicious entity

    Yes, of-course when I'm talking about this movie which hit on theaters recently I'm very much fascinated about the technical aspects rather more than the plot engaged in it. As I'm pointed the new auspicious entity which embarks me it's a new kind of output came from malayalam film industry and a varied path of cinematic technique followed by Lijo jose Pelliserry through out his film. It's not an imitation or a copying but it was an enigma of inspiration that he carried when he was with Lijo. Tinu Pappachan, the director along with the Cinematographer Girish Gangadharan he just bombarded each visuals into the utmost level that we were witnessed in Angamaly Dairies. Colloquially, this movie amazed me with the visuals.

    Freedom from India

    Swathanthryam Ardharathriyil is definitely worth a watch. It might lack the finesse of Angamali Diaries. The film is too over the top. The catchy background score is overused. Some of the twists are a bit hard to believe. The acting is unremarkable in places. Issues with sound recording made some dialogs indecipherable. There are a few loose ends - like how did Anthony Varghese's character become such an expert on jail breaks and lay out of the jail compound?

    But the continued entry of new characters and the changing line up of prisoners in the jail cell is entertaining. The interactions (sometimes deadly) between the prisoners is often quite amusing. A line up of mean looking actors has been assembled and they make this film one of the most belligerent in recent times.

    The scene in the car wash reminded me of The Seven-Ups (1973).

    Nearly 60% of the Angamali Diaries cast makes an appearance. Vinayakan and Chemban Vinod Jose standout among the supporting cast.

    Also, I do not think many people grasped the provocative subject matter. The title is borrowed from a famous non-fiction book about India's partition. In the movie, the protagonist longs to escape not just from jail, but also from India which has turned into a communal hellhole.

    It is a relentlessly entertaining prison escape film. Tinnu Pappachan is a director whose next film I will definitely watch.
