Varayan Movie Review: A slow drama
Kalippakkara, a small village on the backwaters, just isn’t as idyllic because it appears. Right here, even to get one of the best meat, folks need to actually combat, and the place doesn’t enable any outsiders besides vacationers. Even the police can’t actually step in right here.
On Sundays, ladies go to church and males go to market to purchase beef from Thresea chechi (Bindu Panicker) and the native parish priest (Pleasure Mathew) needs to scrub up the dangerous fame of the village. It’s the church kaikaaran, Isthak (Manianpilla Raju) who masterminds the illegal actions within the village. One evening the priest is murdered and the church sends Father Aby Capuchin (Siju Wilson) to take over. A loving, good-looking artist, the priest comes to distressed Kalippakkara along with his assistant, Keppa (Davinchi Santosh). The incidents, after their arrival to the village, essay the remainder of the film.
It’s refreshing to see a father who performs soccer with youngsters, sings and captures on canvas the great thing about the world. Isthak’s daughter (Leona Lishoy) even has a crush on father Aby. He additionally drinks toddy and performs playing cards, and Siju along with his cute smile and mannerisms, carries it off effectively, and is the saving grace of the film. Manianpilla Raju, Leona Lishoy and Bindu Panicker additionally do a superb job.
The primary downside of the film, directed by debutant Jijo Joseph and written by a priest Danny Capuchin, is that issues are portrayed unbelievably. And whereas the primary half is satisfactory, put up interval, boredom units in, with us trying ahead to some essential flip of occasions. The music by Prakash Alex is so-so, although Rajeesh Raman’s cinematography fantastically captures the village.
If you’re a Siju Wilson fan, you possibly can watch this light-hearted film, with a prepared suspension of disbelief.
