English Critics Review

filmibeat.com
Several movies have been made on the story of an expatriate and such movies often dealt with nostalgia about the homeland. Director Shyamaprasad's latest Malayalam movie English is one such attempt, which deals with the lives of a few Malayalis settled in London.

But the film is different from other attempts the the director has steered away from the oft-discussed emotion nostalgia. Rather he focuses on the dynamics of the lives of the expatriates. Written by Ajayan Venugopal, English is a family drama with slight tinges of black humour and satire. Lead actors' performances are the main attraction in it. Ajayan's interesting story, Shyamaprasad's gripping narration, Rex Vijayan's music, Udayan Ambady's cinematography and a few humours moments are the other highlights of the film.
