PRANAYAM --- FEEL LOVE.....!

How often has a movie given you an experience so poetic,so adorable,so close to life or so inspiring, sort of feelings? Rare are such talents in this Era who can convince you that the life you led could be better just within the time frame of 2hrs and 20 mins.Blessy does more than that with his latest attempt on human relations, Pranayam.

Penning up a script based on a not so common love track and portraying it without going overboard isnt easy these days.Blessy succeeds big time narrating it in the most poetically convincing manner, that you cannot imagine any better execution for most parts in the movie.He lets the characters meander through from the stroke of the titles till the climax frames.All begins when Achuthamenon (Anupam Kher)meets his ex wife Grace(Jayaprada) who is now married to Mathews(Mohanlal).What you witness there after is some thing to be felt through.

The movie is shouldered along by the three characters Mathews,Grace and Achuthamenon and without their scintillating show ,the movie could not have quite managed to become what it does!Mohanlal,the extraordinary actor,though with limited movements(half paralysed) and on screen time once again mesmerises as Mathews.Anupam kher was a brilliant casting.With many brilliant actors in malayalam to do such character roles,Blessy justified himself why he chose Anupam kher.But for me the real surprise was Jayaprada who bagged the role of her life time.The character not only demanded the charm of a mid aged lady but the emotions she goes through isnt something which any actress can portray.Any flaw on her performance would have stooped the movie down!Anoop Menon once again exposes the acting talents in him.He is sure to make a mark in Indian cinema in the days to come.All others gels in well.

Music as usual with Blessy movies delights in Pranayam too.Songs and BGMs carry along the tempo of the movie without distracting you.Camera is excellent with love embedded on each and every frame!Blessy,undoubtedly among the best scriptwriter of this era has come up with very inspiring scenes and dialogues,one being ....SWAPNANGALEKKAL MANOHARMAANU JEEVITHAM ....JEEVIKKANARIYAAMENKIL....!

The movie just flows along without any hiccups for most of the time.One may feel the plasticity in the way Grace and Achu falls in love or may be even the role of Cardiac arrest in the movie ,but that takes away nothing from Pranayam,being close to his First and Best Kaazcha.

PRANAYAM --- FOR THE ONES WHO LOVE LIFE....OR WANT TO LOVE IT.!
