Vellam Movie Review: Jayasurya's Performance Is The Soul Of This Deeply Moving Survival Drama

A Malayalam film has finally hit the theatres, after a long gap of 318 days. Vellam , the Jayasurya starring survival drama has hit the theatres today. The movie, which is directed by Prajesh Sen, has garnered attention much before its release with the leading man Jayasurya's different look in the posters, and captivating trailer.

Did Vellam the survival drama succeeded in impressing the viewers? Read Vellam movie review here, to know...

Murali (Jayasurya) is a commoner from a smalltown in Kannur, who struggles with his addiction to alcohol. His addiction, not only affects his life but also creates a bad impact on the lives of his dear ones. Vellam narrates Murali's struggles to overcome his addiction.

Script & Direction

Prajesh Sen, the writer-director has weaved a deeply moving social drama. Vellam not only discusses the life of an alcoholic but also the stigma that is associated with alcohol abuse. The writer-director has opted to throw light on his society treats the individuals who are the victims of alcohol abuse, without going overboard or being preachy.

The neatly developed characters, detailed yet highly realistic representation of an alcoholic, highly relatable premise, makes Vellam a deeply moving watch. However, there are a few scenes that do make the audience uncomfortable (like the scene in which Jayasurya licks spirit from the floor). But such scenes definitely adds impact to the overall effect the film creates. The slow pace of the movie might not go well with certain viewers, but such minor flaws did not prevent Vellam from being a highly impactful and relevant film.

Performances

Jayasurya once again proves his immense caliber with his brilliant performance as Murali, the alcoholic. The actor's extremely realistic portrayal of the character does not let the viewers think about his off-screen persona even for a minute. Jayasurya has delivered one of the finest performances of his career, in Vellam .

Samyuktha Menon has delivered an impressive performance as Murali's wife Sunitha. She has effectively conveyed the struggles of a wife who has to deal with an alcoholic husband convincingly. Among the supporting case, Siddique stands out with his powerful portrayal of the doctor. The rest of the cast are good in their respective roles.

Technical Aspects

Roby Varghese Raj, the director of photography has done a great job by creating the perfect backdrop for a highly realistic story. The editing should have been a bit more effective, as the slow pace does affect the overall impact.

Bijibal, the National award-winning musician has done a brilliant job with the songs, as well as the highly impactful background score, that elevates the overall experience.

Vellam is a realistic take on the life of an alcoholic, and what it takes to overcome alcohol abuse. Jayasurya's powerful performance is unarguably the soul of this deeply moving survival drama.

Film Review: Sara’s — A Refreshing Take On The Deification Of Motherhood

Featured Image

Let’s face it: the world that we live in does not shy away from the glorification of motherhood. I mean, recently someone even managed to circulate a photo of a woman on the support of oxygen cylinder cooking in the kitchen, with the caption “Unconditional Love = Mother” . The people, and by extension mainstream cinema, believe that motherhood is a magical purpose bestowed upon women. The newly-released Malayalam film Sara’s (available on Amazon Prime) takes up the challenging task of shaking this perception from its very core. With a strong protagonist, unconventional narrative and a sense of humour, thus making it a delight to watch.

The protagonist, Sara (Anna Ben), a 25-year-old assistant director who dreams of making a film of her own. She’s been working as an assistant director on few movies and while writing the script for her dream project, she meets and falls in love with Jeevan (Sunny Wayne). What draws them together is their shared belief on not wanting to have a child. But soon societal pressure catches up to them, leading to complications. 

The movie starts with Sara in school, and within a few minutes into the movie, we see the Biology teacher skipping the chapter on sex education, a commentary (with a dash of comedy) on how neglected this facet continues to be, in the Indian educational system.

The movie starts with Sara in school, and within a few minutes into the movie, we see the Biology teacher skipping the chapter on sex education, a commentary (with a dash of comedy) on how neglected this facet continues to be, in the Indian educational system. It is ironic how the Indian society likes to glorify motherhood, but at the same time doesn’t like to educate about sex at all.

Sara's Review: An ode to women, child-free by choice!

As the story moves forward, we see Sara working as an assistant film director, and just as firm in her decision of not wanting to have kids as she was in school. Jeevan and Sara get married, resolute that they do not want children. Theirs is projected to be a marriage based on equal partnership and equal sharing of responsibilities. One quite refreshing take in Sara’s was how the parents, although fervently hoping that Sara and Jeevan would reconsider their decision about parenting, are not typecast as stereotypically conservative. Even as the ‘nagging aunt’ taunts Sara’s decision saying, “Idu matteda, feminism!” (This is that other thing, feminism!) the gaze on Sara’s choice of clothes is completely normalised. This, when we see women and even young girls in our homes asked to cover their legs or wear bras because there are men in the household.

However, once Sara and Jeevan get accidentally pregnant, things start to change. Seeing Sara stand up for what she believes in no matter who opposes her is truly liberating. The movie very realistically portrays how Indian families pressurise women to have kids. The question of why parenthood, specifically motherhood, is deified so much, is one question that no one generally asks. The normativity of assigning reproduction as the primary goal of a woman is deeply problematic. 

Sara's trailer: Anna Ben, Sunny Wayne promise a funny and breezy rom-com |  Entertainment News,The Indian Express

Even Jeevan , who was on board with Sara with not having kids, eventually gives into it after their accidental pregnancy. However, Sara stands her ground. The simple portrayal of Sara not feeling any guilt while choosing her own happiness and her dreams feels so fresh. After all, contrary to what mainstream cinema and society in general tell us, women’s existence is more than just their families, their happiness has got to do with so much more than bearing children.

The simple portrayal of Sara not feeling any guilt while choosing her own happiness and her dreams feels so fresh. After all, contrary to what mainstream cinema and society in general tell us, women’s existence is more than just their families, their happiness has got to do with so much more than bearing children.

While Bollywood films like Sultan glorify the act of a sportswoman abandoning her career because she is pregnant, in contrast, a film like Sara’s brings about the much-needed alternative perspective on the issue.

It was also refreshing to see a gynaecologist who did not try to force the age-old notion of abortion being something against nature. He educates Jeevan and Sara on abortion being the legal right of the woman, who could, in fact by law, go ahead with it without her husband’s consent. He gives Jeevan the perspective to look at parenthood as a responsibility. Like he said, it is indeed better not to be parents, than being bad parents.

The film treats the subject with tender care yet lightness. The result is that the movie does not feel preachy or too overwhelming, but at the same time, one might feel a lacuna in the development of plot at times. Other than Sara , it feels like other characters lack depth.

Transformations in some characters appears too quick without explaining the arc to the audience, especially as we near the climax, which seems a bit rushed. The result is that you don’t get to relish the relief of Sara and Jeevan ‘s resolution as much as you would have. The resolution felt too simple, a little far away from the real world. Yet the movie always keeps Sara ’s character well-defined, keeping her intense wish to be a filmmaker at the forefront. 

At the end the movie is a brave step in breaking the narratives of deification of motherhood in the mainstream cinema. It never diverts from what it sets out to do. It is Sara ’s choice at the end that’s the deciding factor. Despite a few glitches, and the points where there are not enough character development, the movie does a commendable job. Anna Ben’s portrayal of Sara is top-notch performance. The movie does a good job at trying to break unfair societal norms and giving us a protagonist who does not give up on her dreams.

Manju Warrier's film is a feel-good narrative woven out of Nilambur Ayisha's life

Princy Alexander

The story of Nilambur Ayisha, who was Kerala's first Muslim theatrical artiste, is as fiery as the bullet she missed on that near-fatal morning in 1953. Forced to flee her home country, Ayisha lands in Saudi Arabia.

The palace in which she works as a gaddama ( housemaid), takes centre stage in 'Ayisha', the debut work of director Aamir Pallikkal.

Biopics usually narrate the entire life journey of a subject (atleast briefly), so 'Ayisha' doesn't really qualify as one. But the decision of the director to focus on this phase of her life (as a domestic help) , makes it for great storytelling.

But by opting for this choice, the filmmaker can be seen struggling at times. Nevertheless, the narrative is sweet and endearing.

Set in the Middle East, where people from different origins and languages arrive in search of better pastures, the characters are so diverse .

The kind-hearted Mama of the palace, played by Mona Essay, a foreign actress, is the matriarch of the family. Her word is final. The actress has enacted her role beautifully.

By her vivaciousness despite the pain she endures, Mona delights us, sometimes even overshadowing Manju Warrier, who plays the titular character. For sure, Manju Warrier infuses life to Ayisha.

The restraint, resilience and the empathy which Nilambur Ayisha embodies, has been captured with finesse. However, it is in some occasional oubursts that Manju excels.

All the other actors, including Krishna Sankar, have done a good job. The well-layed out tables, the food and the sisterhood between the gaddamas remind you of those English movies set in aristocratic households.

Cinematographer Vishnu Sharma has done a decent job with the visuals. The Indo-Arabic dance song Kannilu Kannilu sung by Ahi Ajayan, featuring Manju Warrier and choreographed by Prabhu Deva, had made way to several trolls, but it definitely is a good addition. It also captures the mood of the story. Shreya Ghoshal has crooned 'Ayisha' in the movie. M Jayachandran has composed the music.

Some scenes in the movie are fantastic, especially the scene when you realise the true essence of who Nilambur Ayisha is.

The best thing about 'Ayisha' is the way the Arab characters are portrayed. For a person unacquainted with Saudi Arabia, it is a small eye-opener to the lives of people there.

The typical treatment of the pyche of the people in movies gets a spin as it shows a different side of their persona. This is clearly evident from the way Mama speaks and treats Ayisha.

The director has also been careful not to make any of the characters look caricaturish, with the exception of one domestic help.

The loneliness and hardships of an old woman, who is battling the last stage of her life, has also been beautifully portrayed. Kudos to the makers for opening our eyes to struggles of people in the twilight of their years.

Some dialogues in the film are quite brilliant, like when Ayisha utters she is not a slave to her past or the owner of her future.

Wonder if those were really Ayisha's words or those made up by the film writer Ashif Kakkodi, who has also written 'Halal Love Story'.

Though the first half was more eventful, it is the second half of the film that dwells more on the emotional apect and the bonding between Ayisha and Mama. This aspect becomes a little tricky for the filmmaker as, after a point, some of the scenes become theatrical. However, we can't complain since the situations in Ayisha's lives were theatrical too.

  1. Uyare Movie Review: Parvathy Is Heartbreakingly Good In A Moving Modern

    29 Apr 2019, 12:32 pm. Language: Malayalam. Cast: Parvathy, Siddique, Asif Ali, Tovino Thomas. Director: Manu Ashokan. It's no coincidence that most of Uyare 's best moments happen while we're flying. The first time Pallavi decides to become a pilot, the first time she flies on her own, a chance meeting that changes her life; from the birth of ...

  2. '#Home' Malayalam movie review: A relatable, light-hearted tale

    Changing with the times is not something which comes naturally to everyone. Oliver Twist (Indrans), the protagonist of #Home , is someone who has gone through that struggle more than once in his ...

  3. Al Mallu movie review: A simple film with a relevant message

    Al Mallu is a female oriented movie which talks about their issues. It is Namitha's incredible performance that drives the movie forward. The actress has done justice to her character, which has depth and is different from the usual feel - good roles that she had done so far. Miya makes her entry towards the end of the movie.

  4. Film review: 'The Great Indian Kitchen' discusses gender issues and

    Film review: 'The Great Indian Kitchen' discusses gender issues and patriarchal values in relationships The Malayalam movie 'The Great Indian Kitchen' addresses the gender issue by bringing into the narrative the oppressive patriarchal values within communities, relationships and institutions.

  5. The Painful Inevitability Of Repetition ...

    The Painful Inevitability Of Repetition: Thaniyavarthanam, My Favourite Malayalam Film. As we watch helplessly, we are taken through the devastating heights to which situations escalate when superstition arrives in the midst of an otherwise ordinary life. The year 1987 marked the debut of A.K. Lohithadas as a scriptwriter, after a brief stint ...

  6. Uyare Movie Review: If At Once They Clip Your Wings, Fly Again

    The soundtrack is breathtaking. All the scenes had their audio aptly tailored to the situation, especially in the adrenaline-packed, nailbiting worthy ending. Most of the narrative is Pallavi's trainer telling her story and is woven in smoothly between Pallavi's life trajectory and the narration.

  7. Vellam Movie Review: Jayasurya, Samyuktha Menon shine in an uplifting

    Vellam is a classic redemption tale, based on a particularly dark phase in the life of a real-life person who makes an appearance towards the end of the film. Murali, played by Jayasurya, is found most of the time in an inebriated state. The epitome of the ultimate drunk, his habits have turned him into a stranger in his own home.

  8. Vellam Movie Review

    Rating: 3.0/5. Star Cast: Jayasurya, Samyuktha Menon, Siddique, Sreelakshmi. Director: Prajesh Sen. A Malayalam film has finally hit the theatres, after a long gap of 318 days. Vellam , the ...

  9. Film Review: Sara's

    The resolution felt too simple, a little far away from the real world. Yet the movie always keeps Sara 's character well-defined, keeping her intense wish to be a filmmaker at the forefront. At the end the movie is a brave step in breaking the narratives of deification of motherhood in the mainstream cinema. It never diverts from what it sets ...

  11. Review: 'Neeraja' is a softer, sweeter version of original film

    What unfolds through the course of her journey forms the crux of 'Neeraja', the Malayalam remake of 'Nathicharami', the 2018 Kannada film, which won five awards at the 66th National Film Awards. The film has an interesting premise as it explores the sexual needs of a widow (played by Shruti Ramachandran).

  14. Feminism Takes Flight: Uyare, My Favourite Malayalam Film

    Amongst these brilliant films, one that caught my eye was Uyare, the directorial debut of Manu Ashokan which revolves around an acid attack survivor, Pallavi Raveendran. The adult Pallavi, played by Parvathy Thiruvothu, is introduced performing on stage with this fierceness in her eyes. The camera then pans to her irritated boyfriend, Govind ...
