Malayalam Movie Review - Ohm Shanthi Oshaana (Rating 3.25/5 Star)

Ohm Shanthi Oshaana Poster

Ohm Shanthi Oshaana is a Pleasant couple of hours @ the movies!!!


Summary:

Ohm Shanthi Oshaana - Nazriya & Renji Panicker
The base story-line of the movie is very very simple and not very original.  A school girl get's infatuated with an older, well respected, poor dude from the neighborhood.  What sets it apart is the delivery of the film in a very simple, bright and pleasant manor.

Ohm Shanthi Oshaana - Nazriya & Aju VargheseThe movie is Narrated by Nazriya Nazim's character, Pooja Mathew.  It is very enjoyable to hear all the side notes going through her silly little mind along with some of the thoughts acted out.  What I loved about the movie is that it stayed at the same pace for the full duration. No crazy manufactured climax's, no dramatic music etc.  Just stays simple and pleasant.

Ohm Shanthi Oshaana - Nazriya & Friends
When watching the movie, you can tell that it's made with a lot of passion and not just cranked out of the Malayalam Movie Making Machine.

Ohm Shanthi Oshaana - Nivin Pauly & Vineeth SreenivasanWhile the movie is really made around Nazriya Nazim (Pooja Mathew), Nivin Pauly (Giri Madhavan) does a good job with his character.  Aju Varghese, as David Kanjani, brings in plenty of comedy into the film.  Aju is certainly making a name for himself in Malayalam and I am a fan.  Vineeth Sreenivasan (Dr. Prasad Varkey), Renji Panicker (Pooja's Father), and director Lal Jose have minor but important roles in the film.  All in all, it's Nazriya and all her expressions that really makes the movie enjoyable and fun to watch. 

Check it out for yourself.

Malayalam Movie Review - How Old Are You (Rating 3.75/5 Star)

Malayalam How Old Are You Poster

Great comeback from Manju Warrier!!!


Summary:


How Old Are You - Manju Warrier
The much anticipated, highly publicized return of Manju Warrier did not disappoint.  She was arguably one of the best female actresses in Malayalam Film (for a very short period) before she decided to hang it all up and live the family life.  Although I wish the circumstances where different (pending divorce) as she made her comeback, I am happy to see her on the big screen again.

Malayalam Film Industry often makes movies that touch on social issues, but it's not often that those issues can be controlled by the common man.
 
How Old Are You - Manju Warrier
How Old Are You touches on couple of areas which all of us can make a difference in, if we are to put our minds to it.  Overall it's a very positive film with a good message.  Manju Warrier is perfectly cast for the role.  She is successful in portraying some of the issues that someone in her mid 30's may go through w/ some humor, emotion and inspiration.  Although Kunchacko Boban's role is of a supporting character, he does it well along w/ others.  There is only one song in the movie and it's a beautiful one sung by Shreya Ghoshal called "Vijanathayil Pathi Vazhi".

A great quote that is used in the movie:
Success only comes to those who are not afraid to fail.
All in all, I say How Old Are You is a Must Watch!!!
