Oru Cinemakkaran Malayalam Movie
After a hiatus, director Leo Thaddeus is back with the story of a young assistant director, who longs to do an independent film. "Oru Cinemakkaran" highlights his attempts to realise his dream as well as struggles to make both ends meet. But it appears to be a mediocre attempt as the execution calls for more intensity.
A slipshod screenplay by the filmmaker attains hues of new life only in the latter half. Born to a priest, Alby Mathew (Vineeth Sreenivasan) marries Sara (Rejisha Vijayan) against the wish of his parents. They live in a flat after their parents alienated them. Their neighbours Nayana (Anusree) and Sudhi (Vijay Babu) are very close to them. But certain circumstances in his life impel Alby to do something unusual, as far as he's considered.
A rapid shift to the suspense mode creates interesting moments in the film. Leo strives hard to reduce the mismatch between the events and the revelation in the climax. But certain questions remain to be answered even after the puzzle was solved.
The woes of the aspiring filmmaker take a back seat when he lands himself in a new trouble knowingly. Now Leo gives a thriller mood to the action. Here the pace of the movie outclasses the sluggish screenplay in the first half.
Vineeth's pale face reverberates his anxiety about his future at the crucial juncture of the movie. He judders when he realises his fate. The depth of his guilty conscience gives him restless days. Meanwhile, Rejisha's bubbly and modern character has little room for performance. Sara has shades of Rejisha's award-winning character Elizabeth in "Anuraga Karikkin Vellam".
Sudheer Surendran captures the nook and corner of urban life. He has been aptly supported by Editor Ranjan Abraham..
