Screenplay: Scenarist Shyam Pushkaran has done an incredible job with the amazing story he penned which took him years to materialize. It would be an exaggeration but I canвЂ™t deny that ever since I watched the movie, I play the seven tracks at least once a day. Backing vocals are heavenly and transcend you to a place preferably a placid lake filled with silence, calmness and peaceful at best. ItвЂ™s a finely created music comprising a blend of fingers snapping, soulful humming, acoustics that are like slow ripples on a calm water surface and whistles of sheer bliss. Music: Sushin ShyamвЂ™s rendition for this feature is soothing, pleasant and mostly foot tapping. His work is so delightful that even getting a glimpse of cactus wasnвЂ™t boring. He remarkably captured the beauty of dawn by showing how light travels by focusing on toys in the house and FrankyвЂ™s horde of certificates. Like my friend said, the DOP Shyju Khalid is DOPE. There is a perfect use of light in the day ( like the scene when Sathi comes home like a guardian angel or mother Mary holding a baby) or in the night ( like the strobe of lights shimmering on the water when Saji kicks the football and its floats along).

Be it the poignant yet powerful screenwriting, strong character arcs, spirited and independent women displaying flamboyance, the soothing music, everything fell in place to make it a perfect concoction.ДЄ word of praise for different departments:Д¬inematography: The movie is visually rich and colourful like a palette. The film undeniably set the standards high and raised the bar of cinematic excellence to a whole new level. ItвЂ™s an off-beat story devoid ofДЄ) unwanted routine stock of commercial masala,Д«) the coerced and cheap slapstick comedy,Д) unimportant and weak women characters.ДЄll the above tropes would only make the movie-watching experience distasteful. How they do it and what do they do forms the heart of the beautiful story.

He is a revelation and deserves worthy praise.Д«ack to the storyline, the movie comes a full circle when they get their shit together and sort it out. Few scenes stayed with me forever like Shaji weeping his heart out to a psychiatrist, the scene where Bobby catches a rare Murrell baby fish, Bony whacks Saji with a boat oar for slapping Franky showing his love and care for the younger one, Franky gleefully giggling when he asks, out of innocence, if Nyla is getting married to Bonny and the powerhouse actor Fahadh Faasil вЂs display of patriarchy. I can talk a great deal but it would be like a freebie or a giveaway. He is fond of his younger brother, Franky, the last one in the band of brothers and is always on the lookout for him. The third one, Bonny, is a mute who is headstrong and gets the two of them back to the track after a brawl. Saji and Bobby are utterly aimless in their careers and just laze around by the sea or engage in bar fights. This very home without doors and liveliness forms the most important prop of the movie. Its a simple tale of four dysfunctional brothers who cannot keep their home as a regular habitable home. The movie is based around a house on the outskirts of that fishing village. Realistically, Kumbalangi is a fishing village and tourist hot spot near Kochi. Lately, one such movie that was high on emotional quotient was Kumbalangi Nights.

I am yet to watch some highly recommended ones which am sure would fill my appetite for movies from the GodвЂ™s own country. Premam and Bangalore Days were high on beautiful storytelling and a delight to watch considering the role time plays in our lives. The list of movies that captured my attention is endless but to name a few, the movie Charlie was so beautiful that it was more like a lesson on Cinematography. They explore and excel at the cinematic technicalities telling cult, bold and simple stories with a heartwarming social message. I had always found the Malayalam cinema to be intriguing.

As I was penning my thoughts on the film, I could not help but smile to myself and experience a feeling of warmth and joy. I revelled in it getting stuck in a loop of glee and amazement. So, on his persuasion, I went along with him to watch it. It was the one with the utmost genuine display of his love for cinema. A Malayalam movie, Kumbalangi Nights, made such a deep impact on my mind and soul (if there is any).ДЄ movie-buff friend was raving about it extensively. They linger for while and one cannot help but live with that state of mind. Some actions, no matter how small or large, ignite a sense of happiness and leave a feeling of heaviness that affects us deeply. Some incidences in life leave a lasting impression.
