The movie is explored through a third-person narrative that makes it a curious journey with twists and turns. The chemistry between the protagonists is on point that the viewers are instantly drawn into their small world of love that evolves with the tantrums life throws at them.Īlso read: MOST UNDERRATED PSYCHOPATHS IN MALAYALAM CINEMA Annayum Rasoolum – Romeo and JulietĪnnayum Rasoolum, Rajeev Ravi’s directorial debut, is another modern-day adaptation of Romeo and Juliet. This movie got its casting right with actors like Surabhi Lakshmi, Sujith Shanker, Shane Nigam, Alancier, and Nimisha Sajayan. Set in the northern Malabar region, it is an eye-opener to the social atrocities that happen under the guise of politics. Ajithkumar takes a modern outlook of Shakespeares’ evergreen romantic tragedy Romeo and Juliet. With its stunning cinematography, making and direction, it is one of the most innovative adaptations of the classic. However, Sajeev Killikulam’s script has helped in adapting the plot without losing its essence. As the movie is loosely set around the classic one cannot expect an exact adaptation. This 2001 movie is a loose adaptation of Shakespeare’s Antony and Cleopatra starring Lal, Siddique, Nandita Das, Geetu Mohandas, and Manoj K Jayan in the main roles. Just sit back and enjoy the celluloid based vibrant splendor.When this Shakespearean classic is transformed into Kannaki by Jayaraj, we are awed at the creativity that has transcended the setting from the Roman Empire to a village in Kerala where cockfighting is an important aspect. In the lead, Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone come up with a sizzling chemistry as well as great performances, with the latter showcasing more excellence. Supriya Pathak Kapur is excellent and is worth to look out for. In performances, Shruti Mahajan: Take A Bow for her selecting a brilliant supporting cast with Sharad Kelkar, Richa Chaddha, Abhimanyu Singh, Jameel Khan and Barkha Bisht who fit well in their respective roles. The screenplay by Bhansali and his team is good with its nice structure.
The dialogues (Siddharth and Garima) are good and are also loaded with some nice punchlines worth of Taalis and Seetis. The choreography is brilliant too and the music score by Bhansali and Monty Sharma is colourful, foot tapping and beautiful. Production Design by Wasiq Khan, reminds of the brilliance of Bhansali's previous genius Nitin Desai in the director's previous works. The film's cinematography by Ravi Varman is excellent where every frame is painted well with sheer excellence and the execution of the shots by Ken Metzker in his DI work has been put up well. The flaws in the film lies with the over melodrama and even over romantic factor in the film as well as its length which could have been cut down by editor Rajesh Pandey who also succeeds in bringing some great moments in a slick yet stronger form. This film lies among his best works "Khamoshi" (1996), "Black" (2005) and "Guzaarish" (2010) with some nice twists and moments. The director brings the Desi adaptation on screen with high gloss and great moments 25 years after what the 1988 Hindi classic "Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak" (Dir: Mansoor Khan) had brought. Director Sanjay Leela Bhansali returns with a bang with this highly commercial venture based adaptation of William Shakespeare's romantic classic "Romeo and Juliet", showcasing excellence with great technical and lead work.
