Set in the forests of Wayanad, Ezhamathe Varavu is a multilayered story that delineates the link between man and nature. It revolves around three principal characters — a planter, his wife and his friend. Gopi, a wealthy planter is an Alpha male, a hunter who assumes he knows the jungle and its creatures. Bhavana plays his long-suffering wife, who craves for his company and affection. Into their turbulent marriage comes Vineeth, an archaeologist on a dig in Wayanad. He turns out to be her college beau. Kavitha plays a tribal who introduces Vineeth to the forests and its inhabitants.
Reviews
Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
I love this movie so much
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
The summary above is a figure of speech for what I experienced during the movie. I haven't read/watched any of M T Vasudevan Nair's work, but I'll tell you how haphazard this film is. That is, I laughed at myself after wasting few bucks over this phoniness!Hariharan's Pazashi Raja was fine, all right. But using the same technique - follow the plot, not the story - doesn't work here. The former has a simple story & the adaptation is what made it a hit. But, in Ezhamathe Varavu, the story looks pale. Enacted by some of the brilliant actors of Malayalam cinema, the plot also goes deaf & blind. Now, here the interpretations may be different, but what I fathomed was how "doubt" can jeopardize lives.The music & setup is good. Moreover it looks like gimmick, when some characters are introduced with no substance at all; characters that go high after a drop of alcohol in their systems (duh!). Lacking research in writing & adapting, this story-telling is a no-brainer. And, if you don't concentrate enough, things are easy to slip off and you won't understand a thing. Wilderness is a good thing, ain't it?BOTTOM LINE: Not recommended due to the monotonous play & clichéd factors playing football. 4.1 out of 10. A perfect example of huge expectation blown into pieces. It is neither an art movie (in which case I'd have loved the implications) nor a drama. It is bad karma!Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YESProfanity/Sex: No | Drugs/Alcohol/Smoking: Strong | Violence/Gore: Critical | Nudity/Vulgarity: Mild
