Nanpakal Nerathu Mayakkam (2022)
Brilliant one!
Nanpakal Nerathu Mayakkam is a Lijo Jose Pellisserys beautiful take on humanity and its current situation in the society. Cinema as an art form can be best used to tell things but no through dialogues. LJP uses the story itself like a dialogue to convey the message with a dreamy world of his unique characters who has distinct characteristics and emotions. Mammooty as james is just brilliant this man will have no space for feathers in his cap with ever film he proves why he is the mammooka. The two sides or shades of society and people are so beautifully conveyed and amazingly portrayed by mammooka and the whole cast. The character james is always grump and angry and never enjoys anything the whole group seems to be in a hurry to reach thier hometown. But the other side is totally different no tension no hurry in the village strangers coming forward to help each other. The most beautiful elements were the contrast between james and sundaram played by mamooka for instance when his family sings a song he gets irritated and starts shouting here the whole time he is surrounded by music and his own group feels the situation to be a burden. But the villagers who has no idea what is happening handles the situation with humanity. This is the stamp of lijo here he beautifully conveys the screenplay with theni eswars mesmerizing visuals the sunrise shot when mammootty goes to deliver milk is never before seen beautifully shot cinematic.frame for a south indian film not in grandeur terms the most simple yet mind-blowing. Lijo uses the atmosphere as his background score which at times can give a sense of overdose at the same time certain songs and dialogues were so apt and brilliantly placed in the apt situation. To end this Lijo Jose Pellisserys dream Nanpakal Nerathu Mayakkam is a must watch for the content and for the man with his brilliant presence and performance taking it to a next level.
