I thought the screenplay meandered (and thus squandered much of the story). The film relied completely on his performance. He is such an extraordinary talent.
To borrow the words of the bride : he roared and rampaged.

Pranchiyettan & The Saint
Waiting for it and got to see it today. Ranjith has done it again. How to make a good film based on a simple story line. Like all Ranjith films this too has two layers. If the situational comedy that breaks out in the first half arising out of the machinations of the people who surround Francis to get him some sort of recognition makes you laugh, the second half which delves deep into Francis's emotional foray has been presented without going melodramatic and laced with streaks of humour.
The very format of story telling is done in a novel manner. Making the Saint Francis considered to be one of the disciples of Jesus as a character in the movie and presenting the story as an interacton between the hero and the Saint is done nicely.
Mammootty again shows why he is considered to be one of the best actors of India. A very de-glamourised role [not in the physical sense though] with zero percent heroism, he does it with elan. And as only he can, he handles the Thrissur slang so well. Here's an actor who walks that extra mile to support novel ventures whenever he spots one [Film has been distributed by his own company Play House].
Like earlier KB movies, the supporting characters in Ranjith's films will have a prominent part and here too the same thing happens. Priya Mani and Khusboo do it without much trouble though their screen time is less. After a long time it was good to see Innocent dish out a decent performance.
In spite of Malayalam cinema too walking the Masala path in recent times, it is heartening to see such ventures are also getting their due.

There are two famous St.Francis' in Roman Catholic religion/.
Neither of them were disciples of Jesus' 12 apostles.
St.Francis of Assissi's time was around the 12th century.
The one famous in India is St.Francis Xavier (the first Jesuit in India). His time was 16th century. He was the one who converted TN's coastal fishing community into catholicism.
Not sure who is presented in the movie though !
While not one of Lal's best by any means, it's still a performance of (and we know that we're in hands of) a master.Quote:

sad that the minority of jury members did not agree with the majority of the film lovers! anyways, more than such manipulated awards n juries, the mere knowledge that such a performance has made an indelible mark on the viewers even across borders will be more satisfying for an actor n his fans like me! thanks again....spot on with the assessment of bhramaram...a flawed screenplay/slack direction lifted by an amazing perfo!
..going to watch it..Quote:
