Pazhassi Raja


This was the movie that malayalam film industry was eagerly waiting for so many years. The team which created 'Vadakkan Veera Gadha'. The release of this movie was delayed many times because of various reasons.
And atlast yesterday it was released and we(chayakada group) managed to get tickets at Kairali Theatre. The movie was released in four theatres - Sree visakh, Kairali, Dhanya & New theatre.
The movie was brilliant, except for the stunt scenes. The visuals, sets, background score, sound effects all were excellent.
Sharat kumar was the surprise in this movie. With his looks and acting skills, he shadowed even mammooty. His looks reminds us of Kurosowa's samurais'. Heard that this roll was initially offered to Suresh Gopi but he rejected the offer since he thought that this role was less important than tat of mamooty's. Any way that was good for us. We didn't have to watch his OVER acting.
The movie was produced by Gokulam Gopalan. He has spend 27 crores on this movie, a budget of average ten Malayalam movies. This fim is really a magnum opus
Pazhassi who has been termed as revolutionary by the British uses techniques of guerrilla warfare against them. For this he avails the expertise of tribals lead by Thalakkal Chanthu (Manoj K Jayan). There are other people also who unflinchingly support him like Edachena Kunkan (Sarath Kumar), who is his commander-in-chief.
This film is technically several notches above the standard fare offered in Malayalam cinema. he camera work by Venu and Ramanath Shetty give the film a sleek look.
