      God bless Blessy for making one of the most heart-touching as well as heart-breaking films ever with an original concept.

      Kaazhcha (2004): Brief Review -

      God bless Blessy for making one of the most heart-touching as well as heart-breaking films ever with an original concept. Kaazcha may remind you of "Cinema Paradiso" (1988) or Mani Ratnam's classic "Kannathil Muthamilttal" (2002) for a while, but at its core, it's a very original film. The film used Gujarat's 2001 earthquake incident as the major conflict to make it original and more realistic. A child loses his way after the earthquake and is found by a film operator in Kerala. The boy and his new family form a solid bond, but as we know, someday his real parents will come looking for him. See, this idea is painful but natural. We know it would be heartbreaking to see, but some painful moments make cinema rich and reliable. As I always say, I don't mind flowing tears during the movie because every drop of tear means something, and a lot, to be honest. These are the moments that give me everlasting memories. Kaazcha made me cry with its emotional quotient, but I am happy that it wasn't driven by overdramatic sequences. Moreover, it left me in pain. Pain, caused by the realistic nature of mankind. This is a film that needs to be understood carefully. One good person cannot change the system or society. He can only try to do our best and add some of our goods to society, but after all, you have to accept some cruel facts that society or the system throws at you. That last frame of Mammootty walking back home with dejection is a defeat for every good man who has tried to do some noble work. Why? Just because some officials (govt) did not care about humanity. An actor like Mammootty can never go wrong with such roles, and I can bet against the entire world on that. Also, the child artist has done so well, and they were so adorable. Blessy, my man, thank you for keeping emotional cinema alive with your smart storytelling. May God bless you.

      RATING - 8/10*

      Emotional Roller Coaster that'll leave you with moist eyes

      Now, in a movie with Mammooty, overshadowing this master thespian is no small matter. And incidentally, this is what Yash and Sanusha have achieved and that too at such a tender age.

      The movie has a plethora of heart warming moments delivering punches right into your soul. The emotions, the drama, the turmoil are all brilliantly depicted on screen and the cast, across ages just keep hitting each scene out of the park.

      Mammooty and Padmapriya play perfect foil to their younger compatriots. Blessy, director has managed to extract the best from his cast and the screenplay feels exquisitely natural and flows smoothly and almost seamlessly as the story unfolds itself.

      The ending is tragic and while deep down, you wished for a happy ending, it's this climax that really gets you in the end about how systems often look at emotions logically and often harm those it seeks to protect.

      All in all, this is a must watch especially with your children.

      HEART TOUCHING

      REALLY ONE OF THE BEST INDIAN MOVIES THAT MADE ME CRY. ONE OF MAMMOOTTY'S BEST PERFORMANCES IN HIS CAREER OF 40 YEARS WHICH GARNED HIM THE BEST ACTOR AWARD AT THE STATE AND FILMFARE AWARDS. LOVE SHARE CARE

      The edge of love.

      The movie reminds us of the amount of love human hearts are capable of giving. The heroes of the movie are simple people, a simple family, who gets attached to a child, an earth quake refugee, from a distant state, with whom they communicate through the language of love. The shock caused by the tremors, the loss of family and the cruelty of society in the heart of the child are beautifully conveyed and would touch the hardest hearts. In the back drop you see the heavenly beauty of the village where our heroes live, untouched by the modernization, prosperous and cheerful in their simple ways. The movie goes on to show the struggle between the forces of love and the hard rules set by a bureaucratic society. One of the strong moments of the movie would be the transformation of a broken down kid to a willful individual, and what brings about the transformation is the simple support provided by a bunch of loving people. I wont spoil more of the movie for you. If you get a chance watch it.
