Kummatty

Capturing the soul of a Malayali village movie tells the story is great depth.

Movie describes Kerala Folklore. Kummatty is one of the best Malayalam movie ever. All the elements are really good. Story, Script, Songs by Kavalam Narayanapanicker Directed by G. Aravindan so on..

I'm astonished by the low ratings this movie has received! It's truly an amazing film with stunning cinematography, especially considering the limited budget. The storytelling is a beautiful tribute to freedom, which I'm surprised more people haven't picked up on. One poignant scene that stood out to me was when the boy, transformed into a dog, is adopted by a girl who puts a chain around his neck. However, when he falls ill, they release him, and he returns home. The next day, a parrot converses with him, highlighting the special connection between animals. When the boy reverts to his human form, he immediately frees the parrot, showcasing his newfound understanding of liberation. Great work by the filmmakers!

Have seen the movie during my childhood in Dooradarshan. Watching it now in adult life, makes me wonder why it still evokes such strong emotions. Glad that this film prints was restored this year (2021) under world film restoration project. Manathoru mayilattom by Kavalam transcends time.

The great thing about this movie is more is depicted in folk songs played and the long shots that have been captured just beautifully ... The movie follows basic idea but executes it beautifully.i would ve understood it even well if i was known with malaylam lieterture more but the folk songs are just beautiful.

You can watch it on youtube its uploaded by potato eater collective.

The acting by actors is great they have still faces and expressive ones ...a mivie where there is a lack of dialouge and such close ups make us feel how the charecter is feeling... it tries to potray people living in period of the film and accomplishes it well... U should give it a try for sure.
