Ennu Ninte Moideen

The poignant tale of Moideen and Kanchanamala separated by society and fate with one voice is well-known to all and débutant R.S.Vimal who earlier released a documentary on the same titled 'Jalam Kondu Murivettaval' have come up with a silver screen depiction of the same,the result being a memorable cinematic experience.

Set in and around 1960's Calicut,the biographical period drama is a touching affair altogether that's blessed with some stellar performances from the lead pair,hearty narration,sumptuous visuals and emotionally moving background score.One will instantly feel banded together with the intense love between the central characters due to the genuinity in narration by Vimal and the intensity that both Prithviraj and Parvathy shower to the characters invested upon them.

The fact that Vimal could succeed in presenting the cinematic version of a real life love story without going over the top by itself is truly remarkable and the débutant can be proud of the fact that he could give full justice to the eternal love between the Moideen and Kanchanamala.

The remodeling of the period was brilliant and mixing up the social scenario of then with the love-story was done impressively by the director who has written the screenplay by himself.Rain comes forth as the heart and soul of the narration,symbolizing the emotions of the protagonists and their hopes throughout the narration.

On the negative side,the second half looked a bit over-trimmed for the sake of gaining pace and reducing the length of the movie.Rest of the minor loopholes in the screenplay are easily negligible.Its evident that the story will easily connect with both families and youngsters and as such the movie is sure to make it big in both box office along with critical consensus.

Prithviraj was outstanding as the marble-eyed Moidheen and won the hearts with his lovable charisma and touching portrayal of the lead character.Moideen will be counted among his array of brilliant portrayals in his illustrious career and is sure to bring in a good share of accolades this year.Parvathy was equally brilliant as Kanchanamala and amazed with her extraordinary hold while presenting emotional sequences.Tovino Thomas,Lena and Sai Kumar were notable and gave worthy performances.

Backgroundscore by Gopi Sunder was epic and a major helping hand for conveying the emotions to the viewers.The song bit "Ennile Ellinaal" in particular was outstanding and is sure to be long-remembered.Visuals by Jomon.T.John were brilliant and captured the essence of 60's really well.

Overall,Ennu Ninte Moideen is an emotionally touching drama that deserves watch for its genuinity and perfect recreation of the 60s.

An Intimate portrayal of two lives from a débutante director...

M Jayachandran's music, Jomon T John's cinematography and Gopi Sunder's background score exalts the movie to a wholly different level.

Even though the movie lacks a grip and over-stretches at times, the breathtaking visuals, art direction and the constant reminder that it's based on a real story redeems the film..transcending all the boundaries of fact and fiction..

Moideen and Kanchanamala's saga of love has been enacted on screen by Prithviraj and Parvathy with a lot of subtlety and conviction.

Its one among those rarest of rare stories in which real life has more dramatic twists and turns than in a thriller movie..

A commendable work of art indeed..

7 stars..

Wow what an experience,so this is what a real movie is. Hats off to the director, seriously where the hell were you man.You really bought this movie to the "Hall Of Fame". Malayalam movie industry really need movies like this instead of some spoof and comedies. Prithviraj, he really got something in his heart, the way he acts really made respect and improved his respect and fame. Parvathy as Kanchanamaala, you really stole the show, compared to your first film in Malayalam film industry you made a mind blowing impact in peoples heart as well as in minds. Each and every actors contribute their presence in a astonishing manner. The only regret is "this is a true story". God should not be this cruel. The cinematography is amazing each and every scenes reflects at least a hundred meanings. Another specific thing in this movie is it's background score, wow it really please with the situation. This movie really reflects the old generation people who really fight in the name of god and religion for the sake of their social status. Really hats off!!!! to the cast and crew.

Really fantastic script but only one thing if director give a small miracle in climax means its will be a one of the best love story in the world but the dead of moideen is not acceptable because of our feelings.Apart from this some scene make us to cry so the team given their best and BGM so awesome every beat remembering their memories, it is really superb movie , Then parvathy acting is really best because if it is smiling scene or crying scene every scene she really shows the kanchanamala feelings in her face really superb acting ,finally this movi e is not a movie a true pure love story of the moideen kanchanamal.

Songs BGM, DOP ,Screen presence everything get 95% and script only 90% if moideen was not died means really all will be 99%

Watch it for the indescribable feeling that will descend after hearing a story like this.Watch it if you have empathy and feel the pain. A pain most describable if you ever loved someone like this.Watch it for the experience. Now coming to the translation of the story into screenplay. I feel, the movie could have used some editing. There were parts in the beginning that dragged and I could hear people say during the interval "what was all that hype about?""Maybe we came with too much expectations" etc etc Let me assure you,no such feeling was shared in the second half of the movie. Intense scenes of desperation laced with passion of their love took over. The story line definitely carries the movie a long way. This review would be incomplete without a mention about the amazing picturization. The rain scenes made you feel like you were actually there smelling the aroma of mud wet from rain (A pleasant treat for all who are away from sweet home Kerala). The casting was perfect - each actor competing with themselves to give their best performance. My personal favorite was Parvathy, Lena and Sai kumar. Overall, who doesn't like a movie that renders an experience? I would definitely recommend it that too in a movie theater. I cant possibly imagine missing out on the details of picturization in any small screen or anything less than HD.
