This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
another touching classic mammooty film....all actors give good performances especially mammooty.Nothing great about this movie but surely worth seeing and you will not be disappointed.Too bad youngsters are least interested in such classic dramas.Nayantara has given a good performance and wish she would stick to more story oriented roles like this than glamorous ones.Hope kamal takes on a mohanlal film.That movie will be even better than this one.Songs were surprisingly good.Mammooty looked more older for his role but he proves that he is still in the minds of youth like us. The scenery remindeds us of our childhood environment in India.It is easy to get absorbed into this kind of movie.The elephant could have been given extra fruits for its acting too.
Raapakal is one of those touching movies to have come out in Malayalam in the recent times. It cannot be hailed as a classic by any means. But quite a few touching moments make this movie a must-watch for any drama movie buff.Mammootty has come up with one of his natural best performances ever. Sarada's return to Malayalam cinema after a short break is also perfect. Although the movie lags a bit at times, in the end you wont feel tired as the climax includes a short suspense and some touching moments to keep you busy.On the downside Mammootty looks a bit too old for the character. He should have played the character at least 10 years back. Or they should have chosen an actress much older than Sarada. They look more like brother and sister than son and mother.All in all, highly recommended for soulful cinema lovers.
