The last couple of weeks have been pretty busy due to which I havent been able to pen my thoughts about quite a few of the flicks that I had watched. One of them happened to be Ashraf Hamza's "Bheemante vazhi", a movie that I was eagerly looking forward to as it was his second venture after an impressive directorial debut in "Thamaasha". Well from whatever I have heard and read, it had positive word of mouth going in its favour. So what did I think about it???
One of the oft discussed issue in our state is the lack of proper roads as it either will be full of potholes whenever a monsoon season comes over or be way too narrow to facilitate proper transportation. Sanju aka Bheeman (Chackochan) lived in such a locality where there was barely space for a bike to pass through. However, none of them had an issue with it as they have been used to this lifestyle for years. But when Bheeman faced difficulty in taking his mother to the hospital after an injury, he decided to take the lead in a public campaign to obtain land for widening the lanes in his colony. It was never expected to be easy but it turned out to be much tougher than they had envisioned.
Apart from the fact that it was directed by Ashraf, the script was penned by Chemban Vinod who had earlier proved his prowess in it with "Angamaly Diaries". The subject that has been taken up for discussion is relevant & something that many of us would have come across. In that sense, it attracted attention but the major highlight for me was the various characters that were created be it Chackochan as a womanizer, Jinu Joseph as the sly & lecherous Kostheppu, Suraj as the manyan, the three female artists, Naseer as the pet lover, the kid in the superhero costume etc. which according to me was the primary reason why the movie endeared. On the technical side, both Vishnu Vijay's music & Girish Gangadharan's visuals were fine.
As I mentioned earlier, the characters that were created more or less interesting and almost all of them were performed reasonably well be it Chackochan, Vincy, Suraj, Chinnu Chadni, Megha Thomas, Naseer Sankranthi, Chemban etc. But the pick among the lot was undoubtedly Jinu Joseph who got to perform in a role that we are not used to seeing him & he has done utmost justice to it.
Verdict: It is a decent time pass that touches upon a relevant issue that most of us are accustomed to. It could have been way more appealing as I personally felt that the makers should have invested more attention to the latter half of the story. However, the various characters that were placed in the movie made it an engaging watch. In short, check it out!!!
Rating: 2.5/5
