a world of cinema

The film deals with the relationship of a group of young IT professionals. Kamal has chosen simple way to narrate the modern age youngsters’ changing life style and outlook of life. The script is an above average one, but it has succeeded to give good characterization to the leading characters. There is nothing innovative in the film. Deals with friendship, love and separation.

Abhi(Narain) and Charulatha(Meera) are love birds. Mani Kunju(Jayasurya) has a soft corner of the quick witted Rose Mary(Roma). The story mainly revolves around these pairs. Sidharth (Indrajith) and Mumtaz(Samvrutha) are married couples. Kalyani(Radhika) is also a member in this friendship gang.

The songs tuned by Bijipal is just average and does not have the usual Kamal touch.

The humour in the film is purely situational and there is no Vadivelu - Vivek(Suraj- Salim Kumar) for satisfying first day audience. Narain’s performance was an average one and his character does not have complicated situations. Jayasurya has improved in the last two years and he was good with his natural performance. Meera can never be blamed for repetition, and she did justice to her character. Roma also did a good job.

In short Minnaminnikoottam is a soft feel good movie.

Rating: 6.5/10

Now the yellow journalism is becoming a trade mark of second grade websites. The latest victim is actress Kavya Madhavan. This type of third right yellow journalism should not be encouraged at any cost. Such a bad news came in two second grade websites which usually publish malayalam cinema news. May be the similarity in Kavya’s and Santhosh Madhavan’s name which prompted these websites to post such a news since the latter’s name is there related with porn videos.

May be Kavya Madhavan won’t file a case against these sites fearing further media publicity regarding this. Thats the main factor which persuades such sites to post fake news for popularity. Such incidents should be treated seriously under cyber law.
