Review: Thattathin Marayathu

Movie- Thattathin Marayathu

Language- Malayalam

Director- Vineeth Srinivasan

Cast- Nivin Pauly, Isha Talwar... and others.

So, yet another love story. We all know the "Story" of the Love story. Two young love birds, probably from different caste/religion, else the girl is either rich or boy is rich, there is a villain element in either of the father or else in the family, there are a group of friends who help the lovers, and of course they do provide comic relief at times, and yeah there is a wonderful music(most of the time), and there is suspense whether they are going to end up together or not, if it is a cynical director(well whose story ended in tragedy, says its the reality(God bless!)) and Kills of the love birds(sad!) or else it happy happy ending.

So i have summarized the story line of the love stories of the Indian cinema for the past 100 years(Yeah people its century...YAY! ) or so and also probably for the coming 100 years. So what makes directors take up LOVE STORY every now and then. Well its because they have a different story to tell(Probably names differ i guess) every time, many a time it does not succeed and gets lost in time, only few stands out, in these few movies everything comes together... the story, the director, the leads, the photography and of course MUSIC. These few movies are the history makers, creating a cult following and you may wonder why so much rant about nothing with the movie, but it is what it is. 

Thattathin Marayathu is that kind of movie, a cult, which has everything going for it. Its an art, a beautiful piece of creation, such dedication from the Team, and only few instances we get to see such a beauty on screen and don't miss this beauty at any cost.

Vineeth Srinivasan has hit bulls eye, and the movie achieves a cult because of its treatment. The photography is brilliant and suits the mood of the movie and captures the mood of the movie. Do not search for any logic here, because love does not see that.

Our hero a Hindu,Nair,Communist and a Thalassery guy... who falls in love with Aisha Rahman. Vinoth played by Nivin falls head over heals in love with Aisha(Isha Talwar... I going a dedicate a para for her <3), yes its love at first sight for our Nair boy, who with help of his playboy friend abu( and others...) and S.I Premkumar(Played brilliantly by Manoj K.Jayan) tries to get his girl, which he does or not forms the climax. 

Aisha... what a girl... Isha Talwar makes an impact, though her first movie, it does not seem so, she gets into "Aisha" and make the lead role more believable. She looks ravishing and gorgeous in her salwars and even  beautiful in a burkah(WOW!). We instantly get hooked to her. And for the first time, we notice the work of the costume designer... awesome costumes for Aisha, and with a beautiful cinematography creates a surreal experience. 

 The love scenes are well etched out and brings out the mood of the film. And kudos to Nivin too who emotes well and hence the love scenes do not seem forced. The movie is also well edited as we can find no lag and the flow is smooth and quick. Comic relief by Hero's friends is not seemed forced and blends with the movie and hence makes the movie even more believable. The scenes involving a little cute girl is really good and the cuttie acts well too(She creates the line of communication!). The Director does not exploit the theme of hindu-muslim love though it forms the crux, communism also forms a little element, but everything seems little compared to the LOVE STORY... which is what the movie is about, a simple Love story between a boy and a girl, nothing more and nothing less(With liberal dose of comedy of course!).

MUSIC by shaan provides the necessary backbone for such a love story. A soulful music is a absolute must for the movie's success especially a love story and shaan makes no mistake and gives us some wonderful melodies which with a beautiful actress and a awesome cinematography makes our heart skip a beat more than just once. You can sure experience your once loved love(May be your first!), you could see yourself in the hero's shoes, waiting to be seen by his lady love, waiting to steal a glance and makes us walk down our own memories, thank you Vineeth.

A wonderful movie indeed. Two thumbs up for Vineeth and Team for giving us this movie. Let go yourself  and enjoy this movie and experience Love once again. 

Catch it, make sure you do.

P.S(Especially for Guys)- And Don't complain, if you like me have fallen in Love with Aisha, Inshallah Allah, kya ladki hey.
