Sapthamasree Thaskaraha


In his debut film Anil Radhakarishna Menon has showed his creative skills in direction, in this second film undoubtedly he has marked his position in Malayalam film industry.
Among the cinema community there is talk that film which has Thrissur slang will hit the box-office.Thoovanathumbikal,Pranchiyettan,Punylan etc are the best examples .To that category now we can add sapthamsree also .It’s basically a director’s film. One could really feel the master craftsmanship of a director in this film .Surprisingly the screenplay credit also goes to the director. Since it’s his screenplay he could have visualized the entire film scene by scene .That has contributed a lot to the film .Beginning from the selection of characters he has put his efforts and all the characters have done their best to the  roles. Even shadow characters also have an identity and contribution .That’s the success of this film.
In this film there is no super hero or no super heroic gimmicks but still it gives a sense of joy and happiness in the theater .Though Prithviraj is the hero all others have equally contributed.Asifali in his rough and tough nature scored too. As usual nedumudi done his role extremely well .The interesting thing is that Anil Rdhakrishna Menon showed us how one could use the second or third line actors into main stream .
After watching the film if you rewind it again you could feel that no complex story involved in it nor any attractive one line story. That’s what we feel it as directors film .The screen play ,the sequence ,the dialogues ,the timing all have its own credit to the film ,Put together made it as a hit. The innocence in the layman’s language will make you laugh high in the theatre.Its a clean entertainer. No part of the film will down your expectations. Without any prejudices you can go to this film to  enjoy with your family and can praise the Thrissur slang  and the director.  


A director made film  

   Rajadhiraja


Ajay Vasudev has proved that he can create a blockbuster film with superstar. This film was a must for Mammotty after the sequel of defeats in the theatre for a quite long time. One must agree the caliber of Mammooty even in this age. There were times where the whole industry thought that this man would be out casted. But it never happened and will never .He proved that he is fit for the industry time and again. I don’t think that because of his non -performance any film has ever failed in the box office. May be he might have compromised over the script and director for a number of reasons but never on performance. If a film get fails I will criticize the script writer and director since they failed to accommodate the stars they want or the screenplay didn’t work out as the wished .These are the primary reasons .Non performance of the stars comes secondary. Back to the film Rajadhiraja ….I would say this is a typical ‘Tamil masala film made in Kerala’.Even the location, the script, the stunt song comedy sequence ….everything is in typical Tamil style.Udhayakrishan and Sibi k Thomas  rocked again with their screen play and in the recent time they have kept their position as super stars in screenplay writing. It’s their habit to tell the story in a big canvas with lot of artist .Naturally the cost will increase but at the end of the day it gives back to the producer. Here also they adopted the same method with lot of artists but less in numbers compare to their other films. The thread of the film is that an old don with full of family sentiments .No big twists and turns even if its there the audience can expect what will happen at the end.A lovely song is there in the film .Jojo strikes again but sometimes unwanted comedy pulls him back .As usual female artists have no other work but to serve their heros,they have no space to contribute to this film .Laksmi Rai and Lena has done what they told to do .Sidhique and Joy Mathew also have not much to do.And many villains from Hindi other languages have stored enough kicks from our Mammootyy!!!It’s just ‘film’ one can just see and forget. It gives no scope for an after discussion. How many Tamil film we have enjoyed for no reasons. This time let it be for our Mammokka.One would appreciate his down to earth acting in the beginning and the beauty of the film is that he is family man till the end of the film for his family…A just see and forget film but certainly family audience can try it since it will not get you bored

APPOTHICARY

Madhav  Ramadasan  has created an identity through his debut filmMELVILASAM in Malayalam film industry .Now in his second film he has contributed much to the society by dealing a controversial subject Medical ethics. It seems the director has compromised in many areas like selection of supporting actors and their dubbing voices .And of course one could feel that his direction deviated to high dramatic in the pre climax scenes. But for the cause, purpose and seriousness of the film one must appreciate Mr Madhav Ramadasan.Appothicary is need of the hour.
Doctors enjoy respect and prayers from the society at its best. Common man feels that doctors are second after GOD to look after them. But the hurting truth is that many of them are not fit for the respect. Human value is priceless and peerless yet some doctors bargaining it for mere money. In a hospital fact and figures speaks  rather than empathy and compassion. Most of the hospitals now have  placed a notice board warning that any harm or causality causing by the public to the hospital and doctors, will get 3 year imprisonment and they are liable to pay the loss occurred. So the public fear not even to question the unethical practices of the hospital people. They are swallowing the bitter truth for their kith and kins.Definitely but they are cursing in mind. Doctors are godfathers that the patients will obey them without hesitation and will do what they asked to do. For each and everything we have choices except medicines and lab tests. The doctor will “suggest “where the patient should do the test and where to buy the medicine .The naked truth behind this suggestion is nothing but commission.
Hospital has become an industry where service comes second .The prime concern of the investor is the return of investment within the shortest possible time .For that they squeeze and exploit the patients. Apart from all these hell they are using the poor patients for their clinical trials. In Kerala many of the so-called multi speciality hospitals are running these clinical trials for their trillion-dollar multinational pharmaceutical companies. Even Supreme Court has voiced recently against this brutal practice .Human beings are treated  like pigs and rats for clinical trials .Thanks for the exchequer that they didn't even have data of these trials.
Doctors are also human beings. They have family and children. Emotionally this film will haunt them or at least they will think for a second for their inhuman acts. At least if one of them change his attitude that’s enough .That will be the impact of this film in the society .Unlike a film which last year broke all the collection records and lead many youth to hide the "evidence" this film light a candle in the society about medical ethics. It may not break any of the past collection records but certainly it will last in common man’s heart.
All the main characters done their roles exceptionally well. Suresh Gopi as Vijay nambiar scored high.Jayasurya,Indrans and Thambi Antony are also performed remarkably well .
In his first film court room was the location where as here it’s a hospital .Kudos to the director that he has not shown any extravaganza unlike the usual melodramas
A must see film that ignites a thought in the society
