Parava Movie Review: Flies HIGH, HIGHER & HIGHER..!

Synopsis

The story of Parava is set in the land of Mattanchery in Kochi and it takes you through the lives of two kids Ichapee and Haseeb, who are passionate about nurturing Pigeons for the Pigeon Race.

Through these two characters, Parava moves through the lives of people living in their region and also the Pigeon Race, one of the major events of the place.

Take a look at how the cast and crew members of Parava have fared for the movie..

Director - Soubin Shahir

Soubin Shahir has made a strong mark with his directorial debut. He has put in to play the years of experience that he has had working in the directorial department and Parava, is the right proof to show that.

Well, nobody else could have made Parava as beautiful as Soubin Shahir. He knows quite a lot of things about the place in which the story is set and most of the scenes stand close to realty.

The first half of the film is a prime example of that, where the film-maker in him takes us smoothly through some inimitable moments at a speedy pace. Especially, the way in which he has etched the school sequences are really praiseworthy.

Moreover, the way in which he has used his actors is worth emulating. The director in him has given each and everyone the freedom to behave according to the situations.

The script of the film has been penned jointly by Soubin Shahir and Muneer Ali. Kudos to both of them for incorporating elements, which are spot on in exploring human emotions. At the same time, it has to be said that certain elements in the second half would give the audiences a cliched feel. A bit of care could have been given to those sequences.

Cast

The two kids who have portrayed the roles of Ichapi and Haseeb, form the soul of the film. They have got into the skin of their respective characters, giving realistic performances.

Shane Nigam, once again makes an impact with his portrayal of an elder brother. The control in which he portrays the emotional sequences, makes him a young actor to reckon with. Arjun Ashokan, Zinil Sainudeen, Jacoib Gregory etc., come up with some good performances.

Dulquer Salmaan As Imran

Words would be less to describe the charisma of this man, Dulquer Salmaan. He is there in the film for less than half an hour, but he exudes a special charm, which probably no other young actor has. His screen presence is simply unmatchable.

Once again, his ability to transform as the character is quite evident in Parava, as well. As the film moves forward, we get to know more about his character and it definitely, is a crucial one.

Senior Members

Apart from the above mentioned actors, the film also features senior actors like Siddique, Indrans, Harisree Asokan, Jaffer idukki etc., in important roles. Nothing much has to be said about Siddique, who is conquers the heart with yet another supreme performance.

Soubin Shahir has made the best use of Harisree Asokan, the actor. Similar, are the cases of Indrans and Jaffer Idukki.

The film also features Sreenath Bhasi, Soubin Shahir, Shine Tom Chacko and Srindaa in important roles.

Music - Rex Vijayan

Rex Vijayan, who has impressed the audiences with most of his works, has handled the music department of Parava. The song Ormakal, sung by Dulquer Salmaan has already turned out to be a hit. The songs and the BGM gel well to the narrative of the film.

Cinematography - Littil Swayamp

The cinematography department of the movie has been handled by youngster Littil Swayamp. The film has some stunning visuals and he has captured the realistic beauty of Mattanchery, Fort Kochi and the surrounding regions, without moving away from the feel of the movie. A good work by the youngsters.
