Its all about nostalgia

It seems yet another girl deserted Pazhanthuni. A weeping pazhanthuni finds relief in the eternal love song of malayalam, 'Sanyansinee Nin' which is sung exclusively for him by college's pet singer Murali. Murali who can not say no to anybody, obliges and reminds him that this third of this kind. The humour in this scene is not so loud or slapstick as we were experiencing in recent malayalam movies. Puzhanthuni, who just has hardly 4 to 5 dialogues in the entire movie is still fresh in the memories of viewers. Thats the beauty of this film.

The batch of 1991 decides to meet at old college campus after a long gap of 15 years. Many of them are changed. Some of them has achieved a lot, some still struggling, some married and some are not, and some of them are looking forward to this meeting with their own ambitions. Then there is flashback of their old college days where fierce election was fought between two rival groups, which brings about a lot of freshness, humour and nostalgia. The strength of the movie lies in the script and direction which unveils a murder mystery in an untold fashion.

Everybody connected with this film is giving their best performance so far. Be it is Lal Jose the director, Pritviraj

the protagonist, Kavya, Sunil, Indrajith or the newcomers Rasiya and scriptwriter Alex Paul. The songs were just too melodious and it has already became a huge craze among the youth. One heartening thing about this movie is the acceptance of young actors by the viewers of Kerala, at a time when the industry was sticking only to Mammootty and Mohanlal, the superstars of malayalam cinema.

It is the first genuine hit for Pritviraj, whose career was under scanner for a while. Reports say that it has already became a cult-classic in malayalam film history. It has broken the all-time collection records, and still going strong. Don't miss this movie, its a movie for lifetime.
