Malayalam Movie Review - "22 Female Kottayam" (Rating 3.75/5 Star)



Malayalam Film has always been very receptive to new Actresses (more so than Actors).  Very few actually stick around for extended periods of time though, Rima Kallingal is one that I think we will be seeing for some time!!!

Summary:

Although I saw the movie a while back, never really got around to putting it up here.  The story line is usually not my cup of tea but it was done nicely where it kept my interest and the two lead roles played by Rima Kallingal and Fahad Fzil does a great job.  I don't know how much of it is reality, but I have heard from others that things like this does happen.  So if the movie brings some awareness to the people, GREAT!!!

The last year or so, I feel, there has been a change in the movies that the Malayalam Film industry is putting out.  A change which was overdue.  There are a lot of quality movies being made.  Not by the superstars and the well known names but a lot of newcomers and lesser known individuals that has been around but never really "made it".  I'm loving it!!!  This movie is write up that alley.

There is a reference to girls from Kottayam in the movie which really ticked off my father as we watched the movie together.  I found this to be amusing (Both the dialogue and my dads reaction to it lol).

"22 Female Kottayam" is a daring story line, one which I really did not expect to see in Malayalam.

GREAT ENDING!!!

Direction - Aashiq Abu:

This is Review #2 on a Aashiq Abu movie (Salt N Pepper is the other one).  The man is Good and he aint afraid to take a chance.  Like I said before, this is not the type of movie I like to watch (much more into some action and/or comedy) but he made me like this.  Props to you for that!!!


Lead Female - Rima Kallingal

She played the role of the Sexy girl that everyone wishes they had in "Happy Husbands".  She proves (and has been proving) once again that she is not just a "sexy" lady but one that can carry a movie through her acting skills.  

This role by no means would be considered an easy one.  The movie is built on her character  Rima portrays a character that experiences some very dramatic things that no women should be put through. Great job!!!

Did I mention, I think she is very good looking?









Lead Male - Fahad Fazil: 










Dude....I am convinced!!! I know what is the criteria that this guy uses before signing up for a movie.  If there is not a minimum of 1 love scene, he is not in.  While he is not the main character, he certainly adds to the movie.
