Review of Dileep's Chess movie
Every Dileep film promises something different. So, the expectations were sky high with his new film "Chess" in which he plays the novel role of a blind man seeking revenge against a group of policemen. Directed by Raj Babu, the film opens, like any Dileep-starrer, on a lighter note. He is introduced as the son of an illustrious dance teacher played by Bindu Panicker. He runs a dancing school in a remote place. He even takes classes as his mother is incapacitated by an accident (and this gives writers Uday Krishna and Siby K. Thomas a chance to poke fun at Dileep's earlier film "Chandupottu"). From here on, the script takes all the predictable twists and turns with all the elements expected in a Malayalam film - from our man falling in love with a girl from a wealthy family, to his parentage being questioned and all the routine stuff, which makes viewers long for the blind revenge saga to begin. |

Review of Prajapathi Mammootty's movie
Mammootty and director Ranjith come together in "Prajapathi", after their successful outing with "Black". "Prajapathi" is a repeat of Ranjith's older films, as you see bits and pieces of his successful films - as a writer first and director later. However, the cast, the treatment of characters and the Ranjith stamp keep the viewer riveted with expectations that something extraordinary will happen.
The story is about Davarmathom Narayanan (Mammootty), the virtual ruler of a small hamlet that has kept all the vices of the modern world at bay. The plot reminds us of recent Mohanlal-starrer "Naran", in which the hero uses his muscle power to make the whole village toe his line. Here, Narayanan is more democratic in his approach and calls a panchayat to punish people. The penalty is exile from the village for a period depending on the gravity of the crime |
