Idukki Gold Movie Review - An Average Fare
Idukki Gold is like a fresh wave of breeze considering the offbeat and run off the mill twists that many of the recently released Malayalam movies offer. There is a certain element of novelty in the narrative that stands out. There is no hard hitting climax or unexpected twists in Idukki Gold. You are taken very smoothly from the start to the end. It's a film of friendship and everlasting bond - a story that every individual can relate to.
Idukki Gold, which is being marketed as a nostalgic movie is not as emotional as it claims to be, and that can be one of the drawbacks. While the first half is interesting and funny in parts, the second half is long and drags a bit.
Story
Idukki
Gold
is
the
story
of
five
friends
and
an
important
person
in
their
life.
The
film
marks
the
return
of
Raveendran,
who
was
an
integral
part
of
many
successful
Tamil
and
Malayalam
films
of
80s.
Idukki Gold essays the life of an NRI named Michael (Prathap Pothan), who returns to his village to find his old friends and to lead a normal life away from the hustle-bustle of the city. He gives an advertisement in a newspaper to find his friends from school.
Flashback shows five spirited school boys who are great friends studying in a school in the pristine hills of Cheruthoni in Idukki. Idukki Gold revolves around the problems which that advertisement creates in Michael's life.
Performances
The
entire
star
cast
have
given
a
wonderful
performance
and
it
would
be
wrong
to
single
out
any
one
actor.
Cinematography
The
natural
beauty
of
Idukki
is
captured
beautifully
by
the
lens
of
Shyju
Khalid.
Music
Songs
are
hummable,
especially
the
title
song
by
Bijpal.
It
blends
beautifully
with
the
overall
plot
of
the
movie.
Other
songs
are
average.
Verdict
Idukki
Gold
is
an
average
film,
but
is
worth
watching
this
weekend
for
an
old
generation
story
narrated
in
a
novel
way.
