Anil
C
Menon's
London
Bridge,
set
against
the
backdrop
of
London
City,
is
a
triangular
romantic
drama
revolving
around
the
lives
of
a
guy
and
two
girls
influencing
his
lavish
life.
Story
Vijay
Das
(Prithviraj
Sukumaran)
is
a
successful
businessman
running
some
corner
shops
and
a
money
lending
enterprise
in
East
London.
He
has
come
to
London
after
his
college
life
and
suffered
a
lot
there
to
finally
get
into
a
big
position.
One
day,
Vijay
gets
to
a
clash
with
a
man
who
has
borrowed
some
money
from
his
enterprise
and
didn't
pay
back
the
same.
On
the
course,
Vijay
gets
to
know
the
man
is
much
liked
and
respected
by
CS
Nambiar
(Prathap
Pothen),
a
business
tycoon
well
known
in
London
who
is
capable
of
anything
in
the
city.
Vijay
seeks
the
help
of
Advocate
Francis
(Mukesh)
who
was
the
main
factor
to
help
in
almost
all
his
tough
situations
which
is
followed
by
a
meeting
with
Nambiar
and
Vijay.
Nambiar,
getting
to
know
the
history
of
Vijay,
is
much
pleased
with
his
nature
and
asks
him
to
marry
his
daughter
Pavithra
(Andrea
Jeremiah),
who
is
keenly
interested
in
charity
works.
Things
take
a
turn
when
Vijay's
car
hits
Merin
(Nanditha
Raj)
on
the
way
back
from
his
first
meeting
with
Pavithra.
Merin
is
new
to
the
city
and
is
just
about
to
enter
her
first
job
as
a
nurse.
In
the
accident,
Merin's
one
hand
gets
paralysed.
On
his
further
meetings
with
Merin
at
the
hospital,
mainly
to
impress
Pavithra,
Vijay
gets
more
attached
with
Merin
and
develops
a
deep
bond
of
love.
In
the
meantime,
Pavithra
too
falls
in
love
with
Vijay
who
is
impressed
with
his
helping
attitude
and
agrees
to
her
father
to
marry
Vijay.
Vijay,
finding
himself
between
the
love
of
these
two
ladies,
have
to
find
an
answer
to
choose
one
in
his
life.
Performances
Prithviraj
as
Vijay
Das
is
impressive
with
his
stunning
looks
and
controlled
acting.
Andrea
Jeremiah
in
her
role
of
Pavithra
too
has
given
out
a
decent
performance.
Nanditha
Raj
looks
cute
with
her
role
as
Merin,
but
leaves
a
big
challenge
of
improving
her
expressions
while
rendering
dialogues.
Other
actors
including
Prathap
Pothen
(CS
Nambiar),
Lena
(Gracy),
Sunil
Sukhada
(Thambikutty),
Mukesh
(Francis)
have
done
justice
to
their
roles.
Technical
Aspects
Cinematography
by
Jithu
Damodar
is
impressive.
He
has
captured
the
stunning
locations
of
the
city
of
London
with
much
brilliance.
Camera
angles
too
are
exceptional.
Another
saving
grace
of
the
movie
is
the
music.
BGM
by
Gopi
Sunder
is
pleasing
throughout.
'Ennum
ninne...'
and
'Kannadivathil...'
are
impressive,
while
the
other
two
doesn't
make
an
impact.
Jinu
Abraham,
who
has
penned
the
script
and
dialogues,
could
have
worked
on
it
much
more
as
the
movie
stays
as
just
one
in
the
line
of
several
romantic
dramas
we
have
come
across.
He
hasn't
tried
much
to
create
a
difference
which
could
have
made
a
better
impact
on
the
audience.
On
the
direction
side,
Anil
C
Menon
has
improved
a
bit
from
his
previous
flicks,
still
fails
at
times
to
impress.
For
the
kind
of
its
genre,
length
of
the
movie
is
a
main
factor
and
the
movie
could
have
been
trimmed
well
for
better
acceptance.
Verdict
On
the
whole,
London
Bridge
is
a
slow
paced
decent
watchable
romantic
drama
which
has
much
flaws
and
faults.
Not
being
everyone's
cup
of
tea,
it's
to
be
seen
how
well
this
movie
performs
at
the
Box
Office.
