REVIEW : Follow The Cinema Company
Sathyan Anthikad, the veteran of many a successful and memorable films returns with a reasonably good one time watchable flick through Oru Indian Pranayakatha. In the process, he has tried to be different from his normal way of story telling. A "new generation" way of film presentation is the best words to put it across and quite successfully he has come out well and at the same time his trade mark style is still evident in many a frames in the overall picture.
Barring the second half lag and an average climax, Oru Indian Pranayakatha is a watchable flick. A love story of an aspiring politician and a documentary film maker from Canada with a Malayalee origin is narrated in a simple way by the director. Dr Iqbal Kuttipuram is the scenarist and he has written it quite well. The draggness in the second half and a never ending feel we get towards the end is a dampener but still the movie cannot be called a bad one for that flips.
Ayamanam Siddharth is a youth congress activist who aspires to make it big by obtaining a ticket from the party to contest the local elections. But he is unsuccessful in his attempt and during this bad time he meets Irene, a documentary film maker of Indian origin from Canada. Irene has certain other intentions for her visit to India and rest of the story focus on how they fall for each other and what are the circumstances that pull Irene to visit Kerala.
On the making side, Sathyan Anthikad has used light humour with situations that don't go over the board that make the first half a pretty decent watch while in the second half, humour takes a backseat and more intense and sentimental situations takes prominence.
Fahadh Fazil as Siddharth does total justice to the character and it is a refreshing change to see the actor in a new terrain. Amala Paul as Irene perfectly suited the character and it was nice to see her dubbing in her own voice. The accent very well suited since she hailed from Canada.
Innocent, Prakash Bare and Lakshmi Gopalaswami were the notable supporting cast who did their roles quite convincingly.
For a change, the director has utilized the services of Vidyasagar instead of his regular composer Ilayaraja and the music is quite good overall. Camera work by Pradeep Nair deserves a word of mention here.
On the whole this is not a bad attempt by the director but still nowhere near his best. I am going with 3 / 5 and very much welcome the change the director has tried in his making style to suit everyone including current generation of audiences as well.
