Shafi's latest outing has struck the screens,when his own flick Marykkondoru kunjaadu is still continuing to be the favourite pick in the theatres.And one should say, to Shafis credit Makeup man isn't bad either.It provides the quotient of entertainment that is ever promised by a Shafi movie.
The movie is about someone who had to project himself has a makeupman to his wife,who again accidentally had to enter into the attire of a cine-actress.The confusion hide and seek dramas follow but ofcourse laced with typical humour from Suraj,Jayaram,Jagathi and Salimkumar.The movie might remind you of the love track in chocolate which again was penned by sachi sethu.The script goes places at times in the second half but shafi has managed to route the plot well enough to entertain and engage.
Jayaram as the title character was cool, wisely not opting for his strenuous expression-comedies that we saw in some of his latest flicks like happy husbands.Sheila looked beautiful as ever and was a bit of surprise to me as she performed above the benchmark that one would have pre set for her before entering the theatre.Siddique as the director was an impressive character which as usual was safe with him.Suraj-Salim kumar roams around with their usual stuff,which as usual works well enough.Jagathi,Janardhanan,Jagdish(though his stammering character with the magnifying glasses has been here before) etc too contributed to the fun.Cameos by Prithvi n Kunchacko boban fitted well into the plot.
The songs tuned by vidyasagr were impressive on the first hearing,did not get a chance to hear it a 2nd time!
Makeup man is definitely a time pass movie - But for Shafi the movie would have sank in the second half ,he indeed knows the viewer pulse!

Arjunan Saakshi - Ends Up Nowhere
It is a common talk in cine field that the second film of the director is actually his first film ,in the sense that it would brief if he was a one film wonder/he is here to stay.After a decent debut with passenger,Renjith shankar this time had the company of prithviraj to display his thoughts in arjunan saaakshi.
The movie began well enough,where one would think there is a plot to play with.Prithvis introduction was cool enough and was well within the the movies wavelength.But thereafter the movie slowly lets you know that it is not gonna be anywhere near your expectations. The plot is all based on a letter to mathrubhumi from Arjunan,who claims to be the witness of Firoz Moopan,who was the Kochi dist. collector.The movie then revolves around the suspense element of Arjunan's identity.If passenger was a movie that deserved a low profile treatment,arjunan saakshi required a more energetic/aggressive/thrilling treatment. Unfortunately this is one place where the director has let the movie lose.
Prithvi as Roy Mathew does put up a decent performance though the dialogues penned for him were below par to register any great impact.Ann augustine does not have a great role to boast about but has handled it credibly enough.Mukesh,Jagathi,Nedumudi,vijayaraghavan,the villain group and the new muscleman avataar of noolunda fame vijeesh, all blends in well enough.
Music by Bijibaal suits to the mood that the theme demands,but the happenings in the screen often seemed to be too subtle for such heavy Bgms.
Ranjith shankars script and direction falls average,some of instances which would prove the same....
-scenes like the accident scenes looked incomplete and amateurish.
-One would wonder why Roy mathew takes the caravan to a ship to give a chance for the bad men to shoot him down...but guess what they don't get to do that!!!
-On a personal note i thought,arjunan should have shown his face in the climax...
somebody like sreenivasan smiling to the viewers after the climax court scene would made the movie end on a better note!
To draw to a close,Arjunan saakshi is for sure not a bad movie,at least for its thoughts, but has fallen apart to end up below passenger!

Pave The Way For Traffic ---- Traffic My review
A movie that creates a deep sense of you being a part of it,a movie where you find yourself clapping off to situations that are devoid of super heroism/slapstick comedies,even more importantly a movie which wins your heart and lets you know the real value of your two hours and 50 bucks!......Traffic the movie has arrived!
Direction & Script
Brilliantly brought out by Rajesh pillai,traffic the movie takes you to the lives some independent mortals who are all coincidentally destined to meet for span of 12 hours.Not going to any details of the plot as i strictly recommend you to experience the plot unravel with all its surprise elements in tact.Traffic follows a narration that could have easily been confounding but Rajesh pillai has shown you the glimpse of the craft in him.All credits to Bobby Sanjay as well for not resorting to the tried,tested and tiring formulas.Kudos to the impeccable direction and script ,traffic happens to be the best thing that has happened to malayalam cinema for quite sometime!
Acting
In a script where situations are developed with so much intensity ,even look or a smile of a character seems to be an enthralling performance on screen.The actors in the movie are none new.Many of them might have welcomed booing in poorly worked out films as well,but Traffic shows how a strong and spotless plot can bring out the best in the actors.Kunchakko,Sreeni,Saikumar,Asif Ali,Lena,Rahman,Anoop Menon to the legendary villain of Malayalam cinema Jose Prakash who appears for a couple of scenes -- Congratz you were splendid on the celluloid!Certified by the overwhelming applauds of a content group of cine goers.
Music -
Music by Majo is full of life,keying up the viewer with the frantic developments in the screen!
Action!
Action sequences,especially the accidents were matchlessly simulated to go with the life of the movie!
Difference of opinion - Well,I did feel that Dr. Albes character should not resorted to talk to the phone call he receives towards the climax.That would have been a better ending to his episode!
Negatives - Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.............Mmmmmmmmmmmmm........Mmmmmmmmm!
2010 end had shown some signs of brilliance in malayalam cinema with movies like cocktail,Pranchi etc .Let crap Masalas and nonsense movies pave the way for Movies like traffic!

Top 5 - 2010
Prosperous New Year Wishes to all my readers!!!
Time for my 2010 top 5 picks.
Top 5 Movies.
5) Best actor : A movie that held its standards while providing the promised entertainment.Debutant martin gave us a climax to remember.Mammooty once again rocked in the screens as Mohan and as Bombay.
4)Marykkondoru Kunjadu : Being the best among the few movies that lived up to the tag of entertainment in 2010,this shafi-benny project deserves a spot in the top 5 list.The movie was a bit of relief from the crass sibi uday comedies in pokkiriraja ,karyasthan and mamas's pappy appacha.Though sparingly innovative,the movie is well packaged to appeal to the pulse of the viewer.
3)Mummy and me and Kuttysrank:
Mummy and Me : The movie deserves a spot in the list being a movie that tried out a plot with some difference.It takes some stuff to go for such a subject and jithu joseph deserved the good performance the movie did at the BO.
Kuttysrank : The movie which made a mark at the national level did not disappoint my expectations.Well crafted,well told by Shaji n Karun.
2)Cocktail : A movie which surprised me by its execution and performance of the lead characters.Though mostly adapted from the Hollywood flick butterfly on wheels,the outcome is certainly commendable.Jayasurya was too good in his character,portraying the different faces with ease.Arun the director needs a pat at the back for remaking the movie well enough,despite this being his debut venture.
1) Undoubtedly at number 1 is the movie that won the applause of the critics and at the same time did amazingly well in the Box office - Pranchiyattan and the saint .A smart outcome of intelligent thoughts by Ranjith coupled with the brilliant portrayal by mammootty and co actors pranchiyettan still continues to amuse in three major centres.Amazing feat indeed.The poster tag line read "Nalla cinemayum oodoottaa".... a fact proved by the malayalees who were often blamed for promoting masala movies alone in the recent past.
An addition to the above top 5 is a movie that deserves a special mention,a movie which many might haven't even heard of---TD Dasan 6B.A sweet simple movie that unfortunately was deserted by the viewers.
Not forgetting the mass movies like pokkiriraja, happy husbands,pappy appacha which were among the big hits and movie like IGHI ,shikkar,Apoorvaragam,Malarvaadi etc which did fairly well at the BO. These movies however had very little notable to be at the top 5!
TOP 5 Actors
5)Mohanal
Dismal Year for the malluwood superstar with just his shikar managing to get a decent run.Disasters like Kandahar,alexander,oru naal varum etc ensured another poor year for him.With Multistarrer projects like china town,Xian Brothers and the big budget extravaganza casanova lined up ,all eyes are set for a rocking 2011 for him.
4)Prithviraj
Movies like pokkiriraja which was a big hit,anwar which made a big initial definitely proves his emergence as a superstar.Just a better selection of movies could have given him a better 2010.
3)Dileep
Managed to be back to where he belonged to in the latter half of the year.Commercial success like karyasathan,Mary and pappy appacha finds him a spot here.
2)Jayasurya
For his selection and portrayal of different roles,Cocktail,nallavan etc.Even his role in the flop flick four friends was notable.Unfortunately though other than happy husbands,none of his films managed a good run.
1)Mammoootty
Would not need an explanation for this spot.
2010 belonged to the Megastar Mammootty who continues to reinvent himselves to amaze the moviebuffs.Managing both BO success and crtical acclaim is indeed an achievement to cherish.
Doing out and out masala flicks like pokkiriraja,Classic subtle comedy in pranchyettan,combining both entertainment and class in best actor, Mammootty deserves to be the man of the year, as already selected by leading film magazines and websites.
Top 5 songs5)
5)Neeyam thanalinu - Cocktail
4)swapnam oru chakku - Best actor
3)Aaro paadunnu and kizhakkumala -katha thudarunnu
2)Enthedi enthedi -shikar
1)Kizhakku pookkum - Anwar

Marykkondoru Kunjaadu ---- Clean Entertainer
After churning out craps called entertainers like karyasthan,pappy appacha etc,dileep is where he should actually belong to.Instead of trying to be a mass action hero,he has resorted himself to his safe zone -comedy in the latest shafi-benny flick Marykkondoru kunjadu.
Though,the plot might remind you of the character from chanthupottu,some twists from Meesamadhavan etc dileep has succeeded in portraying solomon differently enough to delight the Xmas viewers.Biju Menons character stands out as one of his recent best.Salim kumar was found wanting in some of his numbers.Bhavana handles mary well.Other casts including,innocent,jagathi,vijayaraghavn,vinaya prasad etc adds to the fun.
Music is average.The green locations of thodupuzha might well remind you of a lal jose movie.Well crafted script by benny is safe with shafi.The combo truly knows the pulse of the viewers.
Though nothing innovative ,the movie is well packed to entertain most sections of the audience.After the so called entertainer craps like pokkiris,karayasthans etc and a genuine clean entertainer.Notably,Suraj is absent from the cast!

KANDAHAAR ---- Mission Failed
Ever since the superhit keerthichakra and the critically acclaimed Mission 90days,Major Ravi has been finding the going tough.With a below average kurukshethra the signs of him running out of stock was pretty evident.Kandahar proves you right.Though stuffed with some sequences picked from the Kandahar incident,the movie fails to fall in place.
The Kandahar episode is shown in the background of captain Suryas life,who is influenced by major Mahadevan to join the army.Son of a teacher (Amitabh bachan) Surya (Ganesh) was another frustrated youngster untill meeting major.Rest of the movie and the characters simply mirrors what you seen in majors previous movies.As major is limiting himself to military movies,he has limited scope of introducing new characters.The success for such plots depends too much on a taut screenplay,with flawless pacy direction and editing.Kandahar backed by apoor script falters even more with the execution.The much hyped hijack rescue operation was all shown with minimal perfection of a commando operation,the best example being the way commandos run into the hijacked plane without the hijackers notice and then planting in a hidden camera right in an area exposed to the terrorists.The Hijack part graphics was poorly done that the miniature model of the plane crashing looked silly.
BigB's first ever malayalam role unfortunately isn't a remarkable one.The role is well executed by him but an overdose of sentiments for the character doesnt seems to impress the viewers.Those who had thronged in to watch Majors heroics were obiviously disappointed by a cakewalk role for Mohanlal.Ganesh Venkittaraman couldnt hide his difficulties in expressing himself in a language unknown to him.Major ravis role looked amateurish and further helped in bringing the audience down. KPAC lalitha has used her experience well enough to effectively portray her role.Songs did not impress in the first hearing.
Major needs to pen out a good script rather than churning out movies just around any military episode.Maybe he can try out a non-military flick.Kandahar emphasises this.
2/5 as a courtesy to the Indian Army .

BEST ACTOR strikes gold yet again...!
He is one among the best actors that the country has produced,what makes him even better is his knack to reinvent himself at each stages of his long glorious career.Mammootty after the mesmerizing portrayal of praanchiyettan is back to the screens as a simpleton school teacher who is desparate to become an actor.
Martin Prakkat is sure to find a spot in the in the glorious league of directors,introduced via mammootty --- (lal jose,blessy anwar,amal,mohanan etc are just a few to be named)
Posted in the vacancy of his late father, mohan(Mammootty) is more intrested in promoting theaterical skills in the student than taking hindi classes.Though he had his acting crazes taking toll on him ,mohanan was a responsible family man.Some bitter experiences in his efforts to get a role finally forces an Uturn in his life.Rest on screen.
Listing out the positives,Best actor scores just by the fact that the plot uses the actor in Mammootty along with the star in him (Quite contrary to the recent mammootty masala entertainers).
Brilliance is personified in the scene where MOhanan walks dejected,when rejected of a role in sreenis film.He was too good in the scene.The scene prior to the climax too stands out.His second get up as Bombay,along with his gang brings in the entertainment value to the film .
Laal -- a role that aptly fits him.Nedumudi venu rocks as Denver aashan.Salim kumaar is back to his old look and seems to have got his comic timing back with arivaal praanchi.Vinayakan is funny too.
KPAC,Sukumari,Sreeni,sruthi,bijukuttan etc. chips in with their roles well enough.
Bipin (script writer) has taken care to build up a proper family background to attract attention of the families and at the same time he has penned the other side of the character in a way that the fans/youngsters would just love.Racy entertaining second half.
BGM rocks the hall with the styles and transformations of the central character.Songs are Ok.The fast numbers go well with the mood of the movie.
Cinematography is another plus for Best Actor.
Climax.Impatient viewers,urging out of the theatre once some title comes on the screen, watch out.....there is more!!!!Well executed climax.
Listing out the negatives
Well there aren't many,but one would feel some repititive stuffs un the first half and the scene in the director's flat was a bit overdone.
On the whole - Entertainer with substance.Indeed a rare combo these days!
Watched sahasram too....Surprisingly,its watchable!!
