Matinee

People get fooled by the disease of acquiring stardom and this 110 minute drama talks about the harrowing story of two people who set into the world of acting & cinema.

Maqbool is fond of acting & has a girl waiting for him while Maithily is fed up of her life & drunkard father. They set out in different paths but meet up in a film produced in a manner they have no idea about. How that one single movie plays spoilsport with their lives is a wonderful tale and a grim reality nowadays in Kerala & elsewhere. The inter- connection is quite good and characterization is fantastic. Such low- budget movies hardly get any publicity but they are worth watching unlike mainstream movies.

Performance isn't great but screenplay is good. Direction is appreciable & as a whole, the cinema-experience was great. Only, the amateurism visible in almost all the factors made it look cranky. It is a definite one time watch for the story. As a critic, I thus rate it 6/10. GO FOR IT!

Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES
