Matinee



Directed by : Anish Upasana
Cinematography by : Pappinu

This is a movie about the shattered dreams of many movie lovers. Some of them dedicate their life for the passion of cinema . Some gets a chance to prove others just gets forgotten .  Mythyili has done a very bold  character , Savithri in this film . Her performance is notable. She is bold sometimes i feel its too bold and too open to digest .  Dinesh nair , has also done a commendable role  , as the Chennai production manager .
Hats off to the Director and entire crew , considering it as their first work for the dir and cinematographer, its really worth appreciating .



Bachelor's Party - by Amal Neerad



Directed by : Amal Neerad 


There is a certain amount of madness in this film.(amal neerad)


This film is definitely a trendy , stylish , action movie for the rebellious very open minded youngsters , with lots of punchy one-liners, sizzling item songs and dramatic gun shots This film may not satisfy a serious movie lover 

Amal Neerad has once again proved , there is no one to make more STYLISH movies than him .  


Bachelor Party is the story of  childhood buddies turned hit men squaring off against a malevolent gang boss. The movie is consistently engrossing and sometimes touching
Prithviraj and Remya Nambeesan have small but important roles to play.


I loved the cinematography , making style , the overall character styling ,and  its thundering music .The music and background score of the film are composed by Rahulraj.


The Title Graphics also needs a big applause .


NB:
Malayalam film Bachelor_Party_(2012_film) released in June 2012 is an uncredited remake of the film Exiled,2006 Hong Kong action crime drama film produced and directed by Johnnie To.
