Annayum Rasoolum Malayalam Movie Review and Box Office Collection Report

                 Annayum Rasoolum is Rajeev Ravi's debut film as a director starring Fahadh faasil and Andrea jeremiah in the lead. The star cast also include Sunny wayne(Second show fame) and Soubin shahir. The tamil playback singer Andrea jeremiah is in her first malayalam movie and she has big releases like Vishwaroopam in 2013. The movie is jointly produced by K. Mohanan and Vinod Vijayan. Script of the movie is written by Rajeev ravi himself along with G. Sethunath and Santhosh Echikkanam. Songs are composed by Kay.                     Annayum Rasoolum is a perfect example for the revolutionary changes happening in Malayalam cinema during the recent years. Though it drags alot during 3hrs, the movie was very good. The movie progresses through the narration of Ashley (Sunny Wayne's Character).
                    Annayum Rasoolum is about a love story between a taxi driver in Kochi named Rasool (Fahad Fasil) and a christian girl named Anna (Andrea Jeremiah). The movie explains about their first meeting, falling in love and its end. Fahad Fasil and Andrea did their roles perfectly without any artificiality. The movie is a very natural and simple one without any heroic elements or stunt scenes. In brief Annayum Rasoolum is a normal love story with exceptionally good presentation. The movie is really a good watch.
                   The casting side is one of the positives of the movie. Fahad Fasil as always was brilliant and his female counterpart, Andrea Jeremiah did surprisingly well. Sunny Wayne steals the show by his natural acting. He does a very serious Character in the movie after his highly appreciated roles in Second Show and Thattathin Marayath.
                   Technically the movie was good. Director has done a good job. The script has got nothing new to give. The music, songs and BGM was apt to the plot. The movie would have been better if it was made 15-20 minutes shorter. Overall Annayum Rasoolum is an Above Average movie and will never let you down. The movie is really a good watch.
                  The movie maybe a commercial failure due to less commercialization and the still clinging Christmas releases including Mammootty's Bavuttiyude Namathil, Mohanlal's Karmayodha and Da Thadiya. 

POSITIVES :                                            NEGATIVES :

-Fahd Fasil and Andrea Jeremieh               -Length
-Supporting casts                                       -Boring in many places
