Memories, one of the better movies of 2013!!!
Summary:
Prithviraj may have found his nitch in 2013. Memories is the third movie in a row in 2013 where the audience get's to see Prithviraj portray the role of a cop (Sam Alex) on the big screen (Mumbai Police, Aurangzeb & Memories). Right off the back, let me warn you that this is not a movie that you should be taking young kids to watch as there is a good amount of "gruesome" scenes in the movie. Also for about a third of the movie, there is a flask at the tip of Prithviraj's lips.
Prithviraj's character, Sam Alex, is an ex-cop that has become a drunkard due to some life events. The
story revolves around Sam Alex coming back to the force to investigate a set of murders.
Memories is a solid movie with a well thought out story and strong performances. Occasionally through the movie, it felt like it could have been taken to the next level (and a higher rating on MFB) with slight tweaks, but certainly above average for a Malayalam Thriller.
Prithviraj is a great fit for the role and delivers a strong performances. It's a good trend that we are seeing lately of young actors picking good roles and not doing movies just for the sake of it. I hope it continues.
Spoiler Alert!!!!!
Even better than Prithviraj's casting, the casting of the Villain was spot on. SP Sreekumar, Lolithan from Marimayam, delivers a memorable performance. His funny laugh from Marimayam turns into the most evil one in Memories.
Memories is one of the better movies of 2013, Must Watch!!!.
