Pranchiyettan and The Saint - a lovely lovely film



Kudos to Ranjith for always taking up new ways of narration and story line. This time the story is presented as a narrative between Mammootty and Francis the Saint. And the one liner is that the protoganist wants to change the adjective to his name; have not seen such a plotline in any recent movies.

The ways he goes about doing it, like trying to 'buy' Padmashree References that if you are in the good books of the ruling party any awards can be got (bought) only flashed Amitabh's face on screen for me. No special comedy track in the movie, nevertheless comedy was one of the main ingredient in the film. Mammookka (this time with My Thrissur slang) rocks with his dialogue delivery and expressions, not unexpected though. Portraying a guy who is a loser at most of his attempts, this is one of his best roles off late. Innocent, who is originally from Irinjaalakuda, has the next best role in the movie. Yet another very nice performance from Priyamani, wish she did more of such roles than nonsense dances in the so called masala movies.

With a wonderful message at the end, its not to anyone's surprise, this movie is one of the highest grossers of this last year
