Much-hyped
and
much-expected
Malayalam
movie
Christian
Brothers
has
released
this
weekend.
The
film
has
everything
like
family
sentiments,
fights,
music,
dance
and
twists
and
turns.
But
there
is
no
much
gist
in
the
story
selected
by
director
Joshiy.
The
screenplay
has
been
made
as
to
attract
the
fans
of
superstars
like
Mohanlal,
Dileep,
Suresh
Gopi
and
Sharath
Kumar.
Christian
Brothers
is
a
mass
entertainer
movie
with
all
the
commercial
elements.
Mohanlal,
Dileep,
Suresh
Gopi's
acting
is
the
main
attraction
of
the
film.
Deepak
Dev's
music,
Anil
Nair's
cinematography
and
fights
sequences
are
the
other
highlights
of
the
film.
But
all
these
entertainment
elements
are
made
in
such
a
way
that
fans
of
each
actor
should
be
impressed.
There
is
more
of
artificiality
than
natural
flow.
The
duration
of
the
film
is
2.55
hours
because
it
is
multi-starrer
film
and
each
lead
actor
has
been
given
equal
focus
in
it.
In
fact,
it
is
not
easy
to
handle
the
subject
of
multi-starrer
flick.
But
script
writers
Sibi
K
Thomas
and
Udayakrishna
have
done
it
very
well.
They
have
maintained
equal
focus
to
all
the
lead
characters,
which
help
the
film
to
hold
the
attention
of
audience.
The
movie
is
all
about
a
retired
army
officer
and
his
two
sons.
It
also
throws
light
on
issue
like
land
grabbing.
Palamattathu
Varghese
Mappila
(Saikumar)
is
a
retired
and
well-to-do
army
officer,
His
sons
Christy
(Mohanlal)
works
as
an
informer
in
Mumbai
and
Joby
(Dileep)
is
sent
abroad
to
study
theology.
Situations
make
them
fall
out
of
their
respective
responsibilities,
which
irk
their
father
and
make
him
loose
interest
in
them.
What
happens
next
will
form
the
interesting
part
of
the
film.
Mohanlal
has
larger
scope
in
the
film
when
compared
to
other
lead
stars.
The
comic
scenes
between
Suresh
Gopi
are
Dileep
are
really
good.
Sharath
Kumar
has
just
guest
appearance
role.
Leading
ladies
Kavya
Madhavan,
Kaniha
and
Lakshmi
Rai
do
not
have
much
scope
in
the
film.Saikumar,
Biju
Menon,
Lakshmi
Gopalaswamy,
Vijaya
Raghavan,
Suresh
Krishna,
Salim
Kumar
and
others
have
done
justice
to
their
respective
roles.
Deepak
Dev
has
composed
music
for
four
songs
like
'Karthaave...',
'Kannum...',
'Mizhikalil
Naanam...'
and
'Sayyaave...'
and
all
of
them
are
melodious
and
good
to
listen.
Anil
Nair's
camera
work,
Ranjan
Ebraham's
editing
are
also
commendable.
In
a
nutshell,
Christian
Brothers
is
a
good
entertainer
for
this
weekend
