#VARSHAM MOVIE 2014 MOVIE#
Over all, "Varsham" is a movie worth investing your time and money. The music composed by Bijibal adds charm to the mood of the movie and lyrics of the songs compliments the storyline of the movie. The sound department of the movie has also done a commendable job. The costumes and make-up adds to the originality of the characters and blurs line between reality and fiction. They have helped to add the involvement of viewers in to the movie. The cinematography and editing of the film make sure that the momentum and the mood of the film is not lost. As the title "Varsham" suggests, the script has a feel of rain that can cleanse one's soul but the nature of the script is more like a poetical melancholy drizzle than a ravishing heavy thunderous rain. The script of the film doesn't have great highs or lows, but is beautifully peppered with emotions that carry the feel of the movie till the end. Sajitha Madathil, Sarayu, Sunil Sughatha, Sudheer Karaman and Govind Padmasoorya justify their roles with excellence. Santhosh Kezhattoor and Irshad have made sure that they have a safe future in doing character roles. Mamtha Mohandas too has justified her character. Harish Perady's screen presence in the role of Venu's elder brother is highly remarkable. The veteran actor proves that there is more in him that is yet to be explored and tasted. TG Ravi reminds of the quote on vintage wines which turns stronger day by day. Parjwal, who plays the role of Anand, the couple's only son justifies his directors' choice. The actress again had made her character memorable and excels as an envious wife and mother. In terms of screen space, Asha Sarath has given tough competition to Mammootty. He makes sure that the character of Venu is given the right dose of emotions and histrionics to make him look convincible. Mammootty has carried the whole film on his shoulders with his impeccable perfection in acting. As Ranjith said before, the USP of the movie is definitely the performance by the actors and the casting of the movie requires a special mention. The makers have made a conscious effort to convey the desired message and concept through some light-hearted dialogues and satirical situations. After a point of time, the film raises itself as a reflection of the society by an average Malayalee and his concerns of leading a life. The director must be applauded for exploring the possibilities of human life and psyche. The film then portrays Venu's struggle to come in terms with things around him and how he copes to move ahead in his life amidst his complex thoughts and composite society he lives in. But one incident changes his attitude towards life. The egoistic father in him expects only the best from his son.
His only son is the apple of his eye and has huge expectations over him. Venu in a way is blind to others around him other than his family.
The husband and wife keep fighting, but they have a common dream for their son: that he should become a doctor. She wants her son to be good in everything that her neighbour's son does. His wife Nandini (Asha Sarath) shares similar characteristics. He is a cocky businessman for whom the line between right and wrong is blurred. The company is in the name of his teenage son Anand (Prajwal Prasad). Venu (Mammootty) runs a small finance and gold loan company, which is called a blade bank in local parlance. Instead, the director takes you through heart-warming moments of emotions.
It neither has soap opera moments nor vivid dance and music. The film is definitely a family drama, but not an entertainer that puts you through a lot of twists or turns.
