noreply@blogger.com (n.joji) — Tue, 08 May 2012 01:22:53 PDT

Grandmaster takes a fabulous opening grossing 2.30 Crores in 4 days, which is pretty encouraging for a film of modern investigative genre. The opening day gross was nothing to rave about, as the film released on a Thursday. Grandmaster opened to about 80% on the opening day, grossing just about 65 Lakhs, but picked up by 15-20% on the weekend. The film carries favorable reports and shall be profitable if it does not fall more than 45-50% during the weekdays.
Grandmaster is the maiden distribution venture of UTV in Mollywood. It has got a far smaller release when compared to other Mohanlal flicks in recent times. Grandmaster released in 62 screens in Kerala on 3 May 2012. A good first week of about 4 - 4.50 Crores shall be magnificent for such a movie. The film is produced by Ronnie Screwala and Sidharth Roy Kapoor of UTV Motion Pictures, at a budget of 6 Crores. The satellite rights of the B Unnikrishnan directed movie goes to Surya TV for 3.25 Crores.

Grandmaster Review

noreply@blogger.com (n.joji) — Thu, 03 May 2012 17:36:02 PDT

Superstar Mohanlal's new Malayalam movie 'Grandmaster' got released today. This new movie, scripted as well as directed by B Unnikrishnan was produced by Ronnie Screwvala under the banner of UTV Motion Pictures. Thus far, 'Grandmaster' is getting a big thumbs up from the first day viewers all across the state.

This new film 'Grandmaster' is UTV's first ever production venture in Malayalam and it featured south Indian beauty Priyamani, playing the female lead, as Mohanlal's heroine for the very first time in her career. Apart from Mohanlal and Priyamani, this film also features Anoop Menon, Narain, Roma, Babu Antony, Mitra Kurian, Siddique, Jagathy Sreekumar etc in its cast.

In 'Grandmaster', a racy crime thriller, Mohanlal plays the role of I.G Chandrasekhar, chief of MCD. He, who is also a divorcee, lives alone in a dark and violent city. Even when unlawful incidents take place around him, he withdraws himself from all responsibilities and is happy to live quietly.

In this new movie 'Grandmaster', Priyamani plays the role of Deepthi, Mohanlal's ex-wife, who is also a lawyer. They both have a daughter, named as Daakshayani. Chandrasekhar is well bonded with his daughter and wishes to spend almost all his time with her.

Once, a letter arrives in his office and suddenly he is jolted into action. The writer of the letter is a self-confessed admirer of Chandrasekhar and wishes to rekindle the fire in him and invites him to a game of hide and seek. Rest of the film tells us why the writer is forcing Chandrasekhar to take up this case and how he goes after the writer and get him caught.

Once again, Mohanlal was splendid to watch in his new avatar of a cool, smooth-talking as well as sophisticated police cop. Priyamani looked good in her role of a matured lawyer. Even though, they have a very brief role to perform, actors like Narain, Anoop Menon, Jagathy Sreekumar were nice to watch. Among all, the most shocking performance was from Babu Antony, arguably the most powerful character offered to him so far. Others in the cast like Roma, Mitra Kurian, Riyaz Khan etc have also done their part well.

'Grandmaster' brought back the hit combo of director B Unnikrishnan and actor Mohanlal, after the megahit 'Maadambi' and this new movie can be termed as B Unnikrishnan's best ever work so far. Script as well as direction by B Unnikrishnan was very good and the major thing that worked in favour of this movie is the suspense element and justification of killing.

Music as well as BGM were terrific and suited well with the mood of this film. Cinematography by Vinod Ellampally, Art direction by Joseph Nellickal, Editing by Manoj, Costume by Satheesh have all been noteworthy.

All in all, this new Malayalam movie 'Grandmaster' is a well made thriller film that will have you at the edge of your seat from the very beginning itself.

My Rating : 3.5/5

As the Chief of the Metro Crime Division (MCD), Chandrashekhar doesn't seem to carry the zeal andintensity for his duty as he would in the past. Possibly arising because of his unhappy relationship with his wife, although he adores his daughter.
On a regular working day, he receives a strange letter from an admirer who considers him a"hero". A letter intending to evokeChandrasekhar's preceding courage and valor. The admirer explains in his letter that he wishes to play a game that would revive his bravery; hence he is required to visit the beach of Aavanikkotta.

The next day when Chandrashekhar reaches the location he is astounded to realizethe murder of a woman named Alice and beside her lies an alphabet book with the letter 'A' crossed out.
In an alphabetically descending order, the killer is out murdering people till he reaches letter 'D'. Chandrasekhar's wife and daughter's name begin with the same letter and therefore he findshimself trapped in a game that needs him to protect his family.

What follow's next is Chandrashekhar' s investigation and his method to unravel this mystery and the serial killer

I have nothing to prove in Bollywood: Mohanlal

noreply@blogger.com (n.joji) — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 20:36:33 PDT

At a time when young entrants from South are looking to make a strong presence in Bollywood, Malayalam superstar Mohanlal feels that although the reach of Hindi cinema is wider, he has nothing to prove here as an actor.

Mohanlal made his acting debut in Malayalam cinema in 1978 with Thiranottam but the film never released due to Censor issues. Later, in 1980, he got to play the lead antagonist in his first release Manjil Virinja Pookkal at 20. Eventually, he did several such roles in various movies before he established himself as a lead actor.

It was after the success of his 1986 film, Rajavinte Makan, that he was labelled as a superstar of Malayalam cinema.

"I am working for 33 years there, what should I come and prove in Hindi industry? I am content and happy with my own language. If I get a good and irresistible role, only then will I try and do a film here. I don't want to prove anything," Mohanlal said.

"Lot of people, most of the actresses begin from South.They are newcomers and they try to do Hindi films as the reach is greater. There are so many factors. For actors like me South is fine," the 51-year-old added.

In 2002, Mohanlal played the role of a police officer in his first Bollywood movie Company, which introduced him to the Hindi-speaking audience in India. He won the IIFA star screen award for the best supporting actor in the Ram Gopal Varma directed movie.

Again in RGV's Aag, a remake of Sholay, Mohanlal played the role of Narasimham, a cop with a vendetta against the criminal Babban Singh played by Amitabh Bachchan. The movie bombed at the box office.

Ask him why he stayed away from Bollywood films even after being a superstar down South, he said, "I don't know. It is nothing like that."

Mohanlal feels South films have a smaller reach in comparison to that of Hindi.

"Kerala is a very small place in terms of making films.Hindi films are made for an international market, and we have a very small market. Tamil and Telugu have a major market in India. For Malayalam the main markets are Middle East, Europe, but its a small one. So the difference between south and Hindi films will reflect in all segments from production to song or dance sequences and stories too. If I am acting in a Malayalam film then it is for Kerala audience so we can choose films they like. Hindi films are amazing, trying new themes, multiplex revolution is there alongwith new methods of filmmaking" he said.

Mohanlal would be seen next in Priyadarshan's action-thriller Tezz alongside Ajay Devgn, Anil Kapoor, Kangana Ranuat, Zayed Khan, Sameera Reddy. The film releases on April 27.

"Unknowingly again, I am playing a police officer in Tezz, it is a small role. But the placement of the role is very critical in the film. I feel it is one of the best films of Priyan, I have seen the film partly. Especially the making of the film and the action sequences are amazing. Also, this is my third film with Ajay Devgn," he said.

On difference between acting in Hindi and regional films, he said, "Nothing much, lights, camera are same, only the language (changes). (Difference lies in) how you portray yourself in a film with your intelligence and how you put in efforts is your entire look out.I have done films in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, I don't find any difference. I am not fluent in Hindi. I used to learn Hindi but no one over there speaks Hindi so it is not that fluent. As far as doing films in various languages is concerned you have to by-heart your dialogues for that."

noreply@blogger.com (n.joji) — Sun, 01 Apr 2012 07:42:21 PDT

The latest to hear from the Malayalam film industry is about the new film from Rajesh Pillai for which Sanker Ramakrishnan is doing the script work.

Mohanlal is currently at 'Spirit' location where he heard the story from Rajesh Pillai in the presence of Veteran director Ranjith. "It's my privilege to tell the story to an actor like Mohanlal in the presence of Ranjith whom I considers as my mentor." says Rajesh Pillai. Script Writer Sankar Ramakrishnan is currently doing an important role in Ranjith's Spirit. Rajesh pillai has made this film as his top priority inspite of his Hindi version of Traffic.

Mohanlal's noble gesture

noreply@blogger.com (n.joji) — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 07:14:03 PDT

Only on Sunday R Parthiepan conducted a blood donation camp in Chennai. While in Tollywood, its megastar Chiranjeevi is known for regularly holding such events. And now in Mollywood, Mohanlal is doing one such attempt.

The top star of Malayalam film industry will use his popularity to help patients and accident victims across the country who are in urgent need of blood.

In association with two NGOs, Indian Blood Bank Society and Act For Humanity, the actor has set up a website to connect blood donors all over India. All that one has to do to be part of this noble gesture is to register at www.indianbloodbank.com.

"The website can come in handy for those who are in urgent need of blood. It will compile the data of blood donors all over the country and will give it to the needy at appropriate time. I am happy to promote it," says Mohanlal.

It's Mohanlal v/s Mohanlal on April 27th

noreply@blogger.com (n.joji) — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 20:04:49 PDT

It was earlier reported that Superstar Mohanlal's B Unnikrishnan movie 'Grandmaster' is all set to release by this April 27, 2012. Not everyone might have considered the fact that it's the same date on which Mohanlal's Bollywood film 'Tezz' is also getting released. If the current status doesn't get changed, then after a very long time, it will be Mohanlal v/s Mohanlal on April 27th.

This time, there is a slight difference in the case since the Bollywood movie 'Tezz', directed by Mohanlal's close buddy Priyadarshan will only have Mohanlal playing a very short but crucial role, that of a British Police Officer, with an Indian origin. But in 'Grandmaster', Mohanlal is in the lead role, that too of a Police Officer, who is very much intelligent as well as powerful.

Mohanlal is said to be in 'Tezz' for just about 5-10 mins but it won't have any effect in his die hard fans since they are to celebrate their idols appearance in each and every movie, even if it's a cameo. The makers of 'Tezz' will definitely stick on with the releasing date of April 27 and it is interesting to see whether the makers of 'Grandmaster' will go for another releasing date or not..

Grandmaster for April 27

noreply@blogger.com (n.joji) — Tue, 13 Mar 2012 20:20:51 PDT

Prakash Raj joins hands with Mohanlal

noreply@blogger.com (n.joji) — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 18:32:08 PST

A mega Malayalam movie is in the making, by bringing together two big actors of south Indian cinema- Mohanlal and Prakash Raj. The latter was in Cochin recently to sign the project and has confirmed this on his microblogging page.

"Finalized a film in Malayalam. Due for a long time. Mohanlal + Kaniha + Prakash Raj in director Renjith's "SPIRIT". Shoot in March. Cheerss!!!" That's something to cheer about, indeed!," Prakash Raj wrote.

Meanwhile, the actor-producer-director is happy with the media reviews for his maiden directorial venture in Tamil, 'Dhoni', which hit the screens a couple of weeks ago. "The media has been extremely supportive."

Sources close to Prakash Raj say that he would continue his avatar as a director, but without compromising his acting career. "Because it is only from acting he gets the financial muscle to produce and direct meaningful ventures."

Malayalam Movie Casanova Review, Initial Reports

noreply@blogger.com (Appu) — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 04:07:51 PST

Casanovva - The messenger of Love

Hello Guys, Casanovva - the most expected and stylish movie which has been in the news for the last three years has got released in around 200 theatres. Atlast the movie is here to break all the collection records of mollywood. Everyone will have great expectation when the dream combo Acting Legend Mohanlal Sir, Direction perfectionalist Roshan Andrews and the Ace Script writers Bobby-Sanjay joins together. All the three have good track record and this is the reason why the movie got a sky high hype before its release. Here is our review about the Film Casanovva.

First of all we like to say all that Casanovva is not an action packed thriller, it is a 100% Love story with a some good action sequence. Casanovva is a who is an admirer of all beautiful things especially womens. He is also the owner of ‘Casanova’s Eternal Spring’, an international chain of flower boutiques. Always seen in the company of the most beautiful women, he has at his beck and call a faithful array of female followers – staff, friends and former girlfriends – who will do anything for him. A man who is constantly awakening envy in all men and romance in all women, Casanova’s philosophy in life is simple – love cures all. With his penchant for the good life, it is little wonder that four enterprising young criminals decide to use him in their quest for some quick money. First half was simply good with an awesome interval punch even it there was a bit dragging and second half mostly concentrates on flashback & Casanovva's romance with Sameera(shriya). I am not going into not much story.

Coming to the performances, Mohanlal our lalettan has done a power packed and attractive performance as Casanovva. He was amazing with his appearances, cute smile, dances and actions. It seems this is the ever stylish character done by Mohanlal till date and he just lovable as Casanovva. We can bet you that none other than Mohanal could do this role as like this. All the heroines Shirya saran, Lakshmi Rai, Sanjana and Roma has done wonderfully. But the one to notice is Shriya Saran's character and the combination scenes between mohanlal and Shriya is that much awesome. The Villian's and all the others has also did justice to their roles especially Riyas Khan, Lalu Alex, Shankar, Dimple Rose etc..

The story is just simple and predictable, but the script and dialogues from bobby-Sanjay made it worth and strong. About direction and camera, there is nothing to say about it as Roshan Andrews and Gim Ganesh was successful in getting things to the screen. Song which got relases earlier this month has already been in the hit charts. The third one and the introduction song "Kanna nee.." is a good one and gave a great introdution to Casanovva's character. But we really misses the song "sakhiye sakhiye ..". Other improtant noticing factor is the BGM done by Gopi Sundar which meets what film needs.

Overall Casanovva is a Stylish Romantic film with a mediate action sequences. Its for you... Go watch and Fall in Love.. :)

Movie Rating: 4/5 (Source: thecompleteactor.com)

Frankly speaking, this new Malayalam movie Pranayam doesn't have any serious plot in it to deal with, but with a simple and predictable storyline, this new film mainly concentrates on the feelings and emotions of three aged people. The main highlight of this movie happens to be it's three lead artists in the form of Mohanlal, Anupam Kher and Jayaprada, who have excelled in each and every part of this film.

In the technical side, director Blessy, who is also the script writer for this film have once again come up with an emotionally touching story and have succeeded in presenting it in the right manner. From the music department, the duo of M Jayachandran - ONV Kurup have delivered whatever was required from them and also the BGM score by M Jayachandran is well suited with the feel of this movie. Other fields, that requires special mention here happens to be the cinematography done by Satheesh Kurup and art direction by Prasanth Madhav.

In the acting side, one can expect a magical feel when three of the top acting legends from the nation unites in for a single movie. Anupam Kher as Achutha Menon and Jayaprada as Grace were really terrific to watch, but the stealer of the show happens to be our Mohanlal, who potrayed a character of retired Philosophy professor, Mathews, who is on a wheel chair, after a stroke that left him partly paralyzed. This film proves why he is regarded as one of the most talented actor India has ever produced. The real surprise factor was Anoop Menon, who was able to make a screen space for himself, even though some of India's real acting giants were present alongside him. Rest of the cast also contributed in their own way to this movie.

All in all, this new Malayalam movie Pranayam is not at all a sheer class film but is surely an honest attempt to make such a movie. This film is a sure treat for those genuine film lovers, who have been waiting for long for such a film in Malayalam. You are highly recommended to watch this movie for it's emotionally touching way of making and for some stunning acting performances from the lead actors.
