This story about a road will find a way to your heart
Evaluation: With a script by Chemban Vinod, Bheemante Vazhi, with its character-rich storytelling, feels prefer it has the looming affect of his shut affiliate and director Lijo Jose Pellissery. However with Kunchacko Boban enjoying the lead function of Sanju, the bawdiness is toned down and the tenor of the movie, normally, is gratifying as a result of it feels relatable, reasonably than flamboyant.
Sanju, identified broadly as Bheeman, is a youth who is sort of concerned in his rural neighbourhood, of carefully packed houses which have entry to solely a slim lane to get out onto the primary highway. A motorbike can barely go by on the lane and if there’s an emergency or an important occurring, be it a marriage or a dying, individuals are both carried throughout partitions or they stroll down this slim path. So after one such incident and prompted by the native councillor, Bheeman takes on the duty of widening this highway, enabling higher entry to all the homes there, and likewise hoping to make their properties extra useful. His face-off with the curmudgeonly, trouble-maker Kosthepp, performed with an excellent steadiness of comedy and hateful machismo by Jinu Joseph, varieties the crux of the story. And simply because the movie appears to sag with the confrontation between the 2 sides, the decision to the issue, that comes from one sudden blow, offers a joyful raise to the movie. Why Sanju known as Bheeman shouldn’t be clear, although you are feeling it should allude to Bheeman’s wrestle with Hanuman in a single story over clearing a path.
All that is complemented by a bunch of quirky characters, from a person whose ideas are consumed by his love and respect for his pet canine to a vagabond with a cock on his shoulder, a child in superhero costume, and Chemban’s character, who like a deus ex machina, offers the philosophy and recommendation in issues of the highway and metaphorically, the highway that results in the guts, or Bheeman’s romances.
The movie makes some extent of displaying robust ladies characters, together with the feisty native councillor, lawyer and a railway engineer, amongst others. And Bheeman is a little bit of a girls’ man, however the ladies aren’t shrinking violets both. Whereas audiences might really feel that they’re proven as being too ahead, with eager to go to a bar for a drink, it’s in all probability excessive time that ladies ingesting and speaking intercourse are normalised in our motion pictures.
Director Ashraf Hamza breathes life into Chemban’s charming script and brings his mild contact, which he confirmed in his debut Thamaasha, to Bheemante Vazhi, as properly, depicting the loopy characters with such respect that we will love all of them, even the drunken auto driver. And for this credit score additionally goes to all of the actors, significantly Naseer Sankranthi and Nirmal Palazhi, who make the characters appear to be actual neighbours we might have. Kunchacko brings his stable allure and expertise to a task that if not performed proper, might have left a foul style. Jinu Joseph is a pleasure to observe.
Vishu Vijay provides us good music, although the BGM is a bit too in-your-face in a few locations. Girish Gangadharan’s cinematography is great, significantly in how he captures the claustrophobic lane.
Bheemante Vazhi is a candy entertainer that audiences will get pleasure from, due to characters and conditions they’ll determine with and snort over.
