Although this movie released 2 or 3 years ago, at that time I did not show any interest to watch this movie thinking that it was the arty, serious type. How wrong I was!
Again this time, I did not go ahead and take initiative to watch this. This was the movie Kallada Travels bus ran during my journey from Guruvayur to Bangalore. So, I had no option but to watch it. Now I must say - Thank you Kallada for atleast occassionally playing such good movies in your buses.
Coming to movie, where should I start?
Its touchy to see the character Balamani displaying pure love towards the person she loves. Also touching is her devotion to Lord Krishna. And actress Navya plays the character with aplomb. It was said that her acting in this film brought her upto the finals of the national award selection but unfortunately she didn’t get award.
Prithviraj does his role well too.
Kudos to director Ranjith. May he continue to make such movies in the future too.
This movie restores your faith in miracles. It makes you believe that God only wants to help you & all you need to do is be receptive to his blessings.
MS member Kurupsindhu told it correctly - This is one of the only Indian movies where love is potrayed in its purest form.
And there’s another aspect about this movie which puts it in special place in my heart. Many aspects of this film are strikingly similar to incidents in my personal life. Thats why I have a soft corner for this movie.
Lord Guruvayurapa and his ways. I salute you, O Lord!
