22Female Kottayam-Good and Impressive

A movie from the house of Aashiq Abu certainly raises expecations. And the publicity just before the release did add to the excitement.

The film live up to the expectation and the film good in all departments.

First of all the movie is completely unpredictable from the very first scene and it simply goes on with sequences which arent just repetition of stuff seen many times before. In a nutshell the story is about the travails of a 22 year old nurse Tessa (Rima Kallingal) from Kottayam who was raped and takes revenge on her tormentors.  This time the novelty is that the climax.

All the talented artists including Fahad Fazil, Prathap Pothan, Sathar and Rima Kallingal are just good and  many scenes to talk about. Rima Kallingal is the one who is the show stealer among the actors as the pratagonist. Fahad Fazil, strangely is not doing the hero role but shows that he can be a villain too. Prathap Pothan can be seen trying to do the hard work as the boss of Fahad. Sathar has no  much dialogues and speaks through his facial expressions. But as the script has something for them in store so they all seem to be good.

The movie is inspired from a 2003 movie “Kill Bill” but it’s   an impressive copy.

The greatest achievement is that it’s  a pheminist film, though it was publicised as a thriller. You keep waiting for thrilling scenes to come and they are  there. All the songs come never as an interruption and are also  enjoyable . The biggest achievement is the “Chillane” song after the interval, which makes you enjoy the whole film. The last scene with some good dialogues is a kind of trend setter.

The biggest asset of the movie ”climax” is well shot .Music has something to talk about which is hearable. The pace picks up just before the movie ends and the director tries to imitate a Quentin Tarrantino kind of path breaking climax sequence which is amazing. The film has a theme as old as the Kannaki myth but comes nowhere near in terms of inspiration.22 Female Kottayam is like a fresh whiff of breeze. A Big acheivement with a huge parellel lines between the expectations and the final outcome. It is either a good thriller or a good drama. Rating : 4 / 5 (That too for the talented star cast and their efforts)
