Why We Say That The Mammootty Starrer Mission 90 Days Is The Best Work Of Major Ravi So Far!
Mammootty starrer Mission 90 Days, directed by Major Ravi wasn't a big success at the box office, but it definitely is the best work of Major Ravi, so far. Read on..
Major
Ravi
and
Mammootty
have
teamed
up
only
for
one
movie
so
far,
and
that
was
Mission
90
Days,
which
released
in
the
year
2007.
The
Mammootty
starrer
wasn't
a
box
office
success
back
then
and
in
fact,
the
film
had
an
extremely
poor
run
in
the
theatres.
It
was
so
unfortunate
that
the
movie
could
not
earn
big
at
the
box
office
as
it
was
a
quality
attempt
by
Major
Ravi.
Much
has
been
talked
about
Major
Ravi's
other
movies
like
Keerthichakra,
Kurukshethra,
Picket
43
etc.,
which
have
been
given
the
tag
of
the
best
works
of
the
film-maker.
Seldom
have
we
discussed
about
Mission
90
Days
movie,
which
is
a
class
apart.
It
wouldn't
be
wrong
to
tag
the
Mammootty
starrer
Mission
90
Days
as
his
best
work
so
far,
the
reasons
are
aplenty
and
here
we
list
out
some
of
them.
A
Sincere
Adaptation
Of
A
Real
Incident
The
story
of
Mission
90
Days
is
based
on
Rajeev
Gandhi
Assassination
and
the
investigation
that
followed.
In
fact,
Major
Ravi
gave
a
realistic
touch
to
the
entire
narrative
and
we
didn't
see
the
film-maker
in
him
deviating
from
the
plot.
Yes,
he
did
resort
to
certain
cinematic
liberties
but
the
film-maker
in
him
emerged
victorious
when
they
stayed
close
to
the
content.
No
Over
The
Top
Heroism
The
best
part
of
Mission
90
Days
was
in
the
fact
that
the
film
didn't
have
any
over
the
top
heroism.
The
central
character
Major
Sivaram,
wasn't
etched
adding
superstar
elements
in
it
(barring
the
introduction
scene
of
the
character)
and
that
really
helped
the
storyline
of
the
movie
to
take
the
centre
stage.
BGM
That
Lifted
The
Mood
Of
The
Movie
Well,
it
was
Gopi
Sunder
who
worked
for
the
BGM
of
the
movie.
In
fact,
the
music
composer
was
in
his
initial
days
of
his
career
and
his
BGM
for
Mission
90
Days
was
nothing
less
than
phenomenal.
His
BGM
did
provide
the
required
pace
and
tempo
for
the
movie
and
thus
keeping
the
audiences
glued
to
the
screen.
Some
Well-executed
Scenes
The
film
had
some
well-crafted
scenes,
especially
the
ones
towards
the
end
of
the
movie,
where
the
plight
and
the
helplessness
of
the
commandos
were
shown
with
utmost
sincerity.
They
never
looked
forced
upon
and
gelled
well
with
the
narrative.
A
Daring
Climax
Not
very
often
do
we
get
to
see
a
Malayalam
movie,
where
the
mission
of
the
protagonist
comes
to
a
failure
in
the
end.
In
fact,
Mission
90
Days
had
such
a
climax
where
a
mission
fails
and
the
climax
portions
have
criticised
the
ego
and
hypocrisy
that
exist
in
some
of
the
bureaucrats.
The
final
sequences,
in
which
Major
Sivaram
vents
out
his
frustration
sums
up
the
film
pretty
well.
Ironically,
the
Mission
90
Days
is
one
of
the
biggest
box
office
flops
of
both
Mammootty
and
Major
Ravi.
Probably,
the
expectations
of
the
audiences
from
such
a
movie
was
something
different.
What
if
the
movie
had
released
at
this
point
of
time?
We
definitely
feel
that
it
would
have
fetched
the
desired
success.
