This is a feel good movie , centered on Blind cricket in India. The hero Jayasurya has done his role as a blind cricketer and has done a wonderful performance. Another highlight is Mahesh Raj's cinematography. Wonderful visual treatment.

CHRISTIAN BROTHERS (2011)

Director: JosheyProducer: A. V. Anoop , Maha SubairBanner: AVA Productions, VarnachitraMusic: Deepak DevCinematography: Anil NairEditing: Ranjan AbrahamStory/Writer: Sibi K Thomas, Udaya Krishna


After 20-20 , again  a MULTI-STAR thunderstorm from director Joshy , for Mohanlal , Dileep , Sharath Kumar and Suresh Gopi Fans . With his typical Big Family and underworld canvas , electrifying sound of glasses breaking and Thundering shots Joshy has proved again.With unexpected and surprise twists and Punch dialogues , script writers Sibi K Thomas and Udayakrishna also requires a special mention. I loved ths Back Ground score (Rajamani) , especially when introducing Sarath Kumar
There are a few boring scenes and boring comedy , but some surprise Punch Shots and Dialogues here and there makes the film enjoyable .Some scenes lack logic but just for Thrill and Enjoyment . The intro and first song of Dileep with Kavya Madavan seemed like boring .

Mohanlal as CHRISTY ,
Suresh Gopi as Joseph Vadakkan IPS
Dileep as Joji
Sarath Kumar as Karim lala

Cast: Mohanlal, Suresh Gopi, Dileep, Sarath Kumar, Kavya Madhavan, Kaniha, Lakshmi Gopalaswamy, Lakshmi Rai, Suraj Venjaramoodu, Babu Antony

The Happening (2008)

Directed by : Manoj n Shyamalan
Cinematography By : Tak Fujimoto

This is a THRILLER that makes you sit at the edge of your seat. The film is highly gripping and takes you to a fear-zone. Its the first time that i came to know that "trees"  and "winds" could frighten you !!! . Its definitely worth a watch. (even though its a little behind Manoj Night Shyamalan's other movies )

The bee disappearance Elliot refers to early in the movie is a very real problem that threatens worldwide food production, as honeybees are relied upon almost exclusively to pollinate many fruits and crops. The problem is now referred to as Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD). As of 2010, CCD is still getting worse and many theories have been presented including cell phone tower radiation, compromised immune systems, environmental changes (global warming), fungus infections, genetically engineered crops, malnutrition, parasites, pesticides and viruses. None have been positively identified or ruled out as the primary cause(s) and it's likely that a combination of factors is involved.
