Angamaly
Diaries
Many
movies
have
come
in
Malayalam,
which
were
set
against
a
backdrop
of
a
particular
place,
but
Angamaly
Diaries
was
different
from
all
of
them.
The
film,
directed
by
Lijo
Jose
Pellissery
was
realistic,
raw
and
still
entertaining.
The
film-maker
took
us
through
the
lives
of
a
group
of
youngsters,
without
drawing
any
lines
between
the
positive
and
negative
characters.
Take
Off
Here
is
one
such
film,
which
had
everything
in
it
to
meet
the
International
standards.
Films
like
Take
Off
were
alien
to
the
Malayalam
film
industry.
It
isn't
easy
to
make
a
film
like
Take
Off,
that
too,
in
a
convincing
manner.
The
film
wasn't
just
about
a
mission
but
it
also
narrated
an
intense
story
of
human
emotions.
Thondimuthalum
Driksakshiyum
How
can
we
forget
this
gem
of
a
movie,
which
is
sure
to
fetch
some
big
awards?
Thondimuthalum
Driksakshiyum
was
a
realistic
take
on
the
events
that
unfold
in
a
police
stations.
With
some
well-etched
characters
and
believable
situations,
Thondimuthalum
Drikskashiyum,
directed
by
Dileesh
Pothen,
offered
an
entirely
different
viewing
experience
to
the
audiences.
Parava
Parava
was
quite
different
from
the
movies
of
the
past,
which
narrated
stories
set
against
the
backdrop
of
Fort
Kochi
and
Mattanchery.
Parava
presented
the
lives
of
people
living
in
these
regions,
that
too
without
any
exaggerations.
Once
again,
the
realistic
approached
made
this
film
a
special
one
to
the
audiences
and
the
fact
that
the
audiences
still
remember
the
characters
of
the
movie,
is
a
testimony
of
that.
Rakshadhikari
Baiju
Oppu
It
is
never
easy
to
evoke
a
sense
of
nostalgia
in
the
minds
of
the
audiences.
There
are
many
movies
that
faltered
to
deliver
this
in
the
right
proportions.
But,
Rakshadhikari
Baiju
Oppu
came
out
successful
in
taking
the
audiences
through
the
lives
of
a
few
people,
who
are
quite
familiar
to
us.
The
fact
that
most
of
us
have
met
a
person
like
Baiju,
made
the
experience
a
much
sweeter
one.
Solo
Solo
might
not
have
satisfied
each
and
everyone
as
it
came
in
to
the
theatres
carrying
a
huge
baggage
of
expectations.
But
still,
Solo
is
a
must
watch
as
Bejoy
Nambiar
and
his
team
dared
to
do
something
indeed
different.
It
is
undoubtedly
one
of
the
best
anthology
movies
to
have
come
out
and
this
film
has
lots
to
offer
to
all
those
who
take
cinema
seriously.
Mayaanadhi
Less
often
we
get
to
see
Malayalam
movies,
which
narrate
a
romantic
tale
with
an
impact.
Mayaanadhi,
with
its
realistic
and
intense
narration
of
the
complex
tale
of
love
between
Maathan
and
Appu,
gifted
the
audiences
a
film
that
would
stay
long
in
one's
mind.
Mayaanadhi
is
one
such
film
that
grows
on
you
even
after
leaving
the
theatres.
