Neelathamara


This is one Malayalam movie which would enrage those perpetual haters of the tharavadu-kindi-montha-kitchen-sambar template. Moreover, there are several visuals and subtle references to various elements of flora and fauna around the tharavadu , repetitive shots of a revered pond where the sacred lotus blooms and the exaggerated accent of all characters involved. All these are bound to make this movie a hell of sorts for any viewer who would love to see Malayalam cinema get emancipated from these age old shackles.

Watch it when you are in a sleepy mood. It would take more than 10 minutes for anyone to hear you snoring. Else skip the sleep inducing first 30 minutes and treat your hormones to the occasional display of cleavage by the leading lady.

Verdict: This lotus has no color.
