It's a proven fact now that there is only one person in Malayalam Cinema, who can give you much better “Romantic movies” than the “Vinayan” kind of cinema made some decades back. Gone are the days when “Romance” meant just cute faces and some Skin show incorporated deliberately. At present viewers are more interested in seeing genuine Romantic movies based on original themes. Here RR comes with a topic with his debut.
More than 15 years ago, when I saw “Thoovanathumbikal”, I felt missing such person is there in Mollywood who knows his work and also understands the “Romantic” genre. But then malayalam films going behind the action and comedy films. And now Mollywood is back with same kind of sparks in “Annayum Rasoolum”. Though “Annayum Rasoolum” is quite repetitive in story but it works due to its treatment and brilliant performances from a lead pair.
The movie has its moments to enjoy, but you may also feel less supplied to you in respect to info about the subject. The explanatory factor is missing in the script and it only stresses at showing the results of the romantic Spell on the lovers. The climax where in a “Lovers” disconnected by fate is same as you have seen earlier in “Romio and Juliot” & “Sethu”.
In “Romio &Juliot” there was John Barrymore, Sivakumar played the role in “Sethu” and there is “Sunny Wayne” in “Annayum Rasoolum” giving the top most performance of his career. He plays the role of Ashley and he has acted superbly. Not once the viewer can think that he is acting as he looks so real in his get up and act. Thats the reason he is seen in almost all newgeneration films and its time others in the industry also use this talented artist more often.
The lead pair, Fahad & Andrea Jeremiya both impress with their top rate performances. Fahad is surely a great discovery. He has some resemblance to Mohan Lal but has acted like an experienced performer. Soubin Shahir makes an impact as Collin. Ranjith as Usman manages to give you shocks but also crosses the border in certain scenes. The actress playing Fazila gives the required romantic touch to the movie. The project is a collective & commendable effort by the whole team.
One observation, I would sadly like to mention here. I think Malayalam Audiences come to see “Romantic Movies” in the theater not to enjoy the theme and subject, but only to relax and feeling imotional intentionally. Moreover during the whole movie you can hear laughters and giggles in the cinema. May be this is another way of enjoying a “Romantic Flick”, but certainly not as it should be. I hope the subject of Romance needs a silent and intense watch and I fear “Romance” is not taken as another form of “Comedy” by our dear viewers.
Though you may feel similarities with Tamil new generation flicks at times but still the movie is worth a watch if you love this genre of cinema.
