Chota Mumbai

This was the movie that I wanted to see first among all the Vishu releases but invariably it was the movie that I saw finally. The movie is set in Kochi and is a fun-filled comic masala, with good songs and an ensemble cast. Anwar Rasheed has been able to replicate the success of Rajamanickyam.

Mohanlal is Vasco a petty crook with a heart of gold helping his gang of Siddique, Inderjeet, Manikuttan, Jagadhy and others. Bhavana is auto-driver Lata.

I am not going to reveal the plot watch the movie.

Good performances from Sai kumar and Kalabhavan mani.

My rating 3 out of 5.

Vinodayatra and Big B

I found time to see two contrasting movies and enjoyed both of them. Vinodayatra is another feather in director Sathyan Anthikad's cap, although it is no where near to his earlier masterpieces. Dileep plays an irresponsible graduate who is plain lazy to work. How he is moulded by circumstances to become a responsible citizen is the crux of the story.

Big B is a faithful remake of Four Brothers. Slickly shot with good performances by everyone specially Mammooty and Tamil actor Pasupathi. It is a revenge saga.

Detailed reviews will follow, watch both movies.

Cheers folks, waiting for Chota Mumbai to release in Chennai...
