Movie reviews by a mallu

March 31st 2019

3/31 Watched Peranbu today, a movie that SHOULD BE WATCHED BY EVERY PARENT OR CARETAKER OF CHILDREN. Good acting Mammoootty & Sadhana, that makes you wonder whether this is a movie or whether you are peeking inside your neighbor's house.  It is the story of a father and a teenage special needs daughter.  It talks about a single father dealing with a special needs daughter , and also with her sexuality which is usually taboo in Indian movies. There is a scene where the father helps his daughter when she starts on her menstrual period for the first time, which is very emotional.

After watching this you will be so upset that you will need to watch some comedy to take off the hangover (JK, or not). Sometimes it is hard to face the harsh reality of life, that we as human beings tend to hide away from it. I did not mean to insult anyone. Sorry, if this comment went overboard.

3/28 Watched Lucifer today, first time watching a Houseful( usually there are only a handful) Malayalam movie, wow, did not even knew we had these many mallus here in Dallas, TEXAS.  I promise you will not be bored, a true entertainer. Good acting by Mohanlal , Vivek Oberoi and Manju Warrier, with a true Prithviraj class touch that makes you wonder this is a snippet from our Kerala politics and society, backed with research as usual. Violence is not an overkill in this either, which makes it a movie that you could enjoy with your family( my 6 year old son sat through the whole movie during 2nd show with eyes wide open and said that he loved it.) A mix of family dynamics, Kerala politics, and the international mafia and drugs makes it a true winner for each buck that you paid for it.

It might be a little confusing for the older generation which is why there is a rumor of needing a dictionary to watch this. The story line is not predictable and hence links logically together towards the end.
