Lijo
Jose
Pellissery
is
here
to
stun
you
all
yet
again
with
his
latest
film
Ee
Ma
Yau,
which
has
hit
the
theatres
today
(May
04,
2018).
The
Malayalam
film
audiences
have
been
eagerly
waiting
for
this
film
of
the
much
loved
film-maker
and
let's
see
how
the
film
has
turned
out
to
be.
Plot
The
story
of
Ee
Ma
Yau
is
set
against
the
backdrop
of
a
coastal
village
and
the
death
of
Vavachan
Mesthri.
The
biggest
wish
of
Vavachan
Mesthri
was
to
get
a
grand
funeral
ceremony,
much
similar
to
the
one
his
father
received.
He
had
conveyed
this
wish
to
his
son
Eeshi
and
the
movie
follows
the
son's
endeavour
to
make
Vavachan's
wish
come
true.
At
first,
let's
see
how
the
cast
&
crew
members
of
Ee
Ma
Yau
have
fared
for
the
movie..
Vinayakan
As
Ayyappan
Give
him
any
kind
of
role
and
he
makes
it
a
point
to
come
up
with
a
convincing
performance.
His
portrayal
of
Ayyappan
is
no
different
and
the
character
is
something
different
from
the
ones
that
he
has
done
in
the
past.
In
some
of
the
sequences,
he
simply
steals
the
show.
Watch
out
for
his
performance
in
the
scene
where
his
character
gives
a
speech.
Chemban
Vinod
Jose
As
Eeshi
Chemban
Vinod
Jose
plays
the
role
of
Eeshi,
the
loving
son
of
Vavachan
Mesthri.
He
has
imparted
the
necessary
attributes
to
the
character,
be
it
in
the
form
of
body
language
in
various
occasions
or
the
dialogue
delivery.
His
realistic
portrayal
of
Eeshi
will
definitely
go
down
as
one
of
his
finest
performances
so
far.
Dileesh
Pothen
As
Vikariyachan
In
comparison
with
the
above
two
characters,
Dileesh
Pothen
had
comparatively
lesser
screen
space.
But,
he
has
once
again
proved
that
his
mettle
as
an
actor
is
improving
with
each
passing
day.
His
performance
as
the
priest
is
worthy.
Rest
Of
The
Cast
Kainakari
Thankaraj
plays
the
role
of
Vavachan
Mesthri
and
it
was
great
to
see
a
talent
like
him
playing
such
roles
of
big
importance.
There
are
numerous
occasions
in
the
film
where
the
brilliance
of
the
actor
in
him
can
be
spotted.
Pauly
Valsan
truly
deserved
the
big
award
that
she
won
for
the
film
and
she
was
nothing
less
than
fantastic
with
her
performance,
which
made
the
character
quite
relatable.
The
film
also
features
Bitto
Davis,
Krishna
Padmakumar
and
other
fresh
faces.
Most
of
them
make
a
mark
of
their
own.
Script
&
Direction
PF
Mathews
has
penned
the
script
of
the
film
and
it
is
quite
sure
that
he
has
had
the
freedom
to
etch
the
sequences,
storyline
and
characters,
just
the
way
he
wanted.
He
maintains
the
right
balance
between
realism,
freshness
and
magical
realism
as
well.
The
characters
are
so
real
and
the
minute
events
that
unfold
with
a
span
of
two
evenings
have
been
well-layered
in
the
script.
Lijo
Jose
Pellissery
is
the
man
of
the
moment
and
the
days
to
come.
His
craftsmanship
has
reached
newer
heights
and
with
Ee
Ma
Yau,
he
takes
us
to
the
coastal
regions
of
Kerala.
Lijo
Jose
Pellissery
offers
a
different
cinematic
viewing
experience
that
has
been
blended
equally
well
with
scintillating
combinations
of
visuals
&
darkness,
music
and
silence.
The
film
is
realistic
to
the
core
and
one
would
feel
like
he/she
has
visited
a
place
where
a
death
has
occurred.
It
was
fascinating
to
see
how
he
used
the
climatic
changes
in
the
due
course
of
narration.
Moreover,
one
needs
to
learn
from
him
how
to
use
the
artists
exceptionally
well
knowing
their
strengths.
Other
Aspects
Shyju
Khalid's
camera
work
is
brilliant,
realistic
and
raw
and
in
most
of
the
sequences,
one
won't
feel
the
presence
of
camera.
Prasanth
Pillai's
music
was
good.
Editing
by
Deepu
was
top
notch.
Overall
View
Ee
Ma
Yau
is
one
such
film
that
digs
into
the
unexplored
terrains
of
realistic
films.
At
the
same
time,
it
would
be
harsh
on
the
film
to
tag
it
just
as
a
realistic
film
as
Ee
Ma
Yau
is
the
exemplary
vision
of
a
director
who
knows
to
use
the
cinematic
possibilities
to
the
right
extent.
The
story
of
the
film
is
precise
and
simple
and
it
spans
over
a
couple
of
days.
It
would
be
hard
to
pin-point
any
other
film
in
the
recent
past,
which
has
showcased
the
death
of
a
person
and
the
after
events
in
a
brutally
honest
way.
The
satirical
angle
in
the
film
has
worked
out
extremely
well
and
offers
some
chuckles.
During
the
due
course
of
narration,
Ee
Ma
Yau
also
questions
some
of
the
current
relevant
social
issues,
political
scenarios
that
pop
up
even
after
the
death
of
a
person.
It
delves
seeply
into
the
human
emotions
and
varied
attitude
of
even
the
members
of
a
same
family.
Ee
Ma
Yau
also
gives
an
outlook
to
relationships.
The
film
portrays
one
of
the
finest,
heart-touching
and
well-etched
father-son
bonds
through
some
of
the
sequences
between
Eeshi
and
his
father.
It
also
sheds
some
light
upon
the
friendship
factor.
The
characters
and
even
some
of
the
situations
from
this
film
will
linger
in
your
minds
for
quite
some
time.
Verdict
With
Ee
Ma
Yau,
Lijo
Jose
Pellissery
has
raised
the
bar
to
another
level.
An
exemplary
attempt
like
this
is
rare
and
unseen.
