Charlie

This Malayalam film directed by Martin Prakkat , is a worth watch for those who want some refreshment from the routine. This movie stands out as it do not depend on a typical love story, though the concept of love is present. This is a story of two modern day monks , yes they are monks indeed, who do not care, in fact uninfluenced by human relations. They are moved by "universal love". Travelling, making new friendships, saving the depressed, helping the needy and disappearing suddenly is the nature of charlie, the protagonist. This movie depends on a very different story which encompasses various dimensions of society-suicide, child sexual abuse, old age, love, art, travel, magic. OMG!!, many more. Any outsider falls in love with Kerala, its scenic beauty, thanks to the screen play. Like many other Malayalam movies, its screen play is cool, without sharp emotions like anger and hatred. Its a celebration of life!
 Wow what a film!!!

The extremists, mostly young leaders, believed in complete freedom, resorted to violent means to overthrow the British . However, there was no significant harm done to the British. It is at this juncture that Gandhian philosophy came handy.  Ga...

A love story or a breakup story?

Some stories are so strange. Neither a common man nor can an expert judge those stories easily. This is one such story for me. Planned to be a plain one without twists and turns. But, most of the times, you plan something and life plans something else for you. The story  A girl and a boy entered a relationship without exchanging roses or without saying I LOVE YOU. They chat occasionally and most of the time it was the bliss, of a young love they got. It was not the person but the sense of love that gave happiness to both of them. On those occasional chatting, all they do is make promises and see the voice and the presence of the other. That was enough, and that gave happiness. Days passed, and only days passed. The feeling of love and the desire to live together was getting strong in the girl. She is a girl of dreams and ambitions. Her ability to imagine things overshadowed her understanding of reality. She loved the boy truly, sincerely, not the real one but the one in her i...
