Anto Boban proves again that he knows his craft well. This was Anto's second short after Kravyam which got rave reviews in social media. Cinematography and overall quality of the making has been enhanced a lot than the former. This 13 minute thriller is well preserved with romance and a pinch of nostalgia. Anto crafted this well that there are segments that made me rewatch the film. Characters are minimal and defined subtly. I can't wait to see more of his works.
It was the first Russian Sci-Fi film I've watched. Came to know about this film, after reading a review from a FB film group. VFX was stunning and loved the concept. But climax was disappointing for me as I expected more interesting plot twists. Anyhow, filmmakers have done a decent job.
Moonnam Pakkam by Padmarajan is one my favourite nostalgic films I've watched so far. Everyone who loves their childhood days and moments couldn't watch this film without an enormous joy in their heart and tears filled in their eyes at the same time. Thilakan's character as Thampi is one of his career best. Padmarajan has well crafted the film from screenplay to the casting. There is nothing extraordinary in this film. But the way it enclose some special life moments makes it an invaluable contribution to the Malayalam film industry.
Aadu doesn't have significant story, neither logic! And it was not at all the aim of its makers to deliver through the film! So, if you're looking for a film with good story that will live in your heart even after watching it, Aadu is not for you! Sole purpose of the film is to make the viewers laugh, laugh again and again..! And they succeeded! Along with them all the actors did the exceptional job too!
