Movie Review Friday Malayalam 2012


Directorial debut of Lijin Jose, which circle around the happening of just one day in the lives of many people living in Alappuzha. A day that reworked the path of their destiny. The movie released under the banner of Innovate Films Concepts, is produced by Sandra Thomas and Thomas Joseph Pattathanam.

Even if we feel some of the scenes could have been executed better, the movie is done justice to its promising previews. The movie is well narrated with minimal loopholes.

The cast has done an impressive work to portray their characters. Fahad Fazil performance can be complimented as outstanding. He is playing the role of a spry auto rickshaw driver and his Konkani accented language is pretty impressive. He overshadows rest of the cast with his acting skills. His character keep throwing surprises, which keeps audience glued to their seats. Nedumudi Venu as usual gives audience the pleasure of seeing his legendary performance. Manu has done good enough job for audience to keep him in mind. Ann Augustine was able to pull of her character well.

Nimisha Menon, Baiju Ezhuppunna, Krishnan Balakrishnan, Dharmajan Bolgatty, Chembil Ashokan, done justice to their roles. Prakash Bare and Asha Sarath left their mark on the viewers.

The story of Friday is so well knitted that plot and the execution remains Numero Uno, even with the amazing performance of the cast members. Director Lijin has done a good work digging deep into the savage and unsettling feelings that imprisons the human in complex emotions of love, passion, deceit and grief. Najeem Koya is the magician who has knitted such a marvellous script, which can go through ten round of scrutiny but still it will come out solid without loop holes. We should also be admiring the nice visual magic created by cinematographer Jomon Thoman. The music and BGM are admirable again, thanks to Roby Abraham and Rex Vijayan respectively. Editing is by Manoj who has pulled it off decently.

'Friday' is going to write new lines in the books of experimental cinema. It has a good light on the life of “now”. It takes us along for a journey of feelings that we see but tend to ignore.
'Friday' will be a good watch for those who love good cinema with content.

Verdict: Don't Miss It
