What you get is Annayum Rasoolum when the story's this cliched and the director tries too hard to narrate the story in the manner that it's been narrated - with minimal dialogue and haunting music that follows you to the edge of s****. Fahadh Fasil is brilliant as usual, while Andreah Jeremiah is annoying as fuck, but looks nice as hell :) in her annoying pink sarees and floppy hair. Fahadh plays his characters to the tee with the stupid, vacant eyes, yet shows intelligence for comedy. We get it - Anna and Rasool want to be together but the series of random incidents won't let that happen. Then again, why should it? They really have no direct connection to their lives, and yet they do. Okay. We'll take it. Thank God for the BGM. Anna is painfully quiet, tolerating all that she has to endure. Not a word. *facepalm*. The parallel narration for the Ashley-Lily story was unnecessary. Who even cares :/. Why/how does his story have any say in A/R? Shane Nigam is brilliant as usual. (How can he slap?) Soubin Shahir is talent waiting to explode.
Maheshinte Prathikaram is another work of art. So is Njan Prakashan, although the latter is annoyingly commercial. Fahadh knows how to play the part and make himself look good, from beta male to ready-to-knock-your-teeth-out fighter. He sucks at the romantic scenes (unless you count the ones in Annayum Rasoolum), and shows support for his religion that is annoyingly similar to Kamal. We could honestly do with less of that.
1. Soubin Shahir
2. Shane Nigam
3. Fahadh Faasil
In that order.
Kando Kando is hauntingly beautiful. Sung by Andreah and played to show that she's falling for Rasool. Ente paavam kinaavil.. speaks of the imminent end to this story.
This movie and this song stick with you if you fall for it. Understand the formula at play here and maybe you can hold off.
