Manju
Warrier
As
Madhavikutty
aka
Kamala
Surayya
Manju
Warrier
justifies
why
she
has
been
tagged
as
one
among
best
actresses
of
the
industry.
In
fact,
she
had
to
initially
face
some
criticisms
which
were
drawn
based
on
her
looks
from
the
film
and
a
few
sequences
from
the
trailer.
But,
after
watching
the
entire
film,
you
would
understand
that
she
has
turned
out
to
be
the
best
choice
for
the
role
of
Madhavikutty.
The
actress
comes
out
with
a
spectacular
performance
as
the
lead
character
going
deeper
into
the
emotional
layers
of
the
protagonist.
The
dialogue
delivery
and
the
accent
are
perfect
and
is
in
accordance
with
the
milieu
of
the
movie.
Definitely,
Aami
features
one
of
the
finest
performances
of
the
actress.
Murali
Gopy
As
Madhavadas
The
role
of
Madhavadas
is
quite
safe
in
the
hands
of
Murali
Gopy.
He
comes
up
with
a
matured
and
controlled
performance
in
this
role,
which
indeed
required
an
actor
of
his
calibre.
Tovino
Thomas
Tovino
Thomas
does
appear
in
a
special
role,
who
is
the
constant
companion
of
Aami,
throughout
her
life.
The
young
actor
has
that
charm
which
is
much
required
for
that
role
and
he
has
put
up
a
notable
performance
in
the
film.
Anoop
Menon
As
Akbar
Popular
actor
Anoop
Menon
essays
an
important
role
in
the
movie.
The
experienced
actor
too
comes
up
with
a
fine
performance.
Especially,
his
dialogue
delivery
was
exceptional
that
gel
well
with
the
narrative
pattern
of
the
movie.

Script
&
Direction
-
Kamal
It
is
never
an
easy
task
to
make
a
biopic.
But
Kamal
is
one
such
film-maker,
who
has
proved
his
expertise
in
dealing
with
biopics
through
Celluloid.
This
time,
with
the
biopic
of
Kamala
Das,
Kamal
had
a
tough
task
as
the
life
of
the
writer
had
its
own
share
of
controversies.
Kamal
has
pulled
it
off
and
packaged
a
product
which
is
poetic
right
from
the
first
frame.
It
wouldn't
be
wrong
to
tag
Aami
as
one
of
the
finest
products
of
Kamal,
the
film-maker.
He
takes
his
own
time
to
travel
through
the
life
of
Madhavikutty,
without
delving
much
into
her
personal
life.
The
script
is
well-layered
and
it
addresses
the
audiences
with
utmost
sincerity.
At
the
same
time,
the
fictional
elements
added
to
it
does
work
out
pretty
well.
Songs
-
M
Jayachandran
The
songs
of
the
film
have
been
set
to
tune
by
M
Jayachandran.
The
song
Neermathalam
sung
by
Shreya
Ghosal
is
the
pick
among
the
lot
and
the
song
has
a
special
place
in
the
narration
of
the
movie.
Background
score
by
Bijibal
suits
the
movie
exceedingly
well.
Other
Departments
Madhu
Neelakandan's
work
with
the
camera
is
exemplary.
The
film
traverses
through
different
time
periods
and
locations
and
the
signature
of
a
good
cinematographer
is
quite
evident
in
each
frame.
There
might
be
different
opinion
about
the
running
length
of
the
movie,
but
still
Sreekar
Prasad
has
done
a
fine
job
with
the
cuts,
offering
the
film
a
smooth
flow.
A
special
mention
for
the
art
department
of
the
movie.
At
the
same
time,
the
make
up
work
could
have
been
slightly
better,
especially
that
of
the
central
character.
