Watch Munnariyippu For Free

Strong and Moving!

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

When a brilliant actor join hands with brilliant director and brilliant writer the result is Munnariyppu!!!It's a rare happening in Indian cinema to see such a mind-blowing movie that you can think about it a lot even after watching the movie!!!Venu acclaimed director's second film breaks the stereotypes in Malayalam cinema and Unni.R proves that he is such a versatile writer. (The same man who written dialogues for Big-B movie) When it comes to acting everybody has done their job at the finest. From Aparna Gopinath to the kid who supplies food to our man CK Raghavan. It's Mammootty who made this movie an unforgettable journey with his subtle and brilliant acting.May be that's why I write this review even after 4 years since it released. He proves that he's the most versatile and flexible actor in Malayalam cinema or in Indian cinema.He just became CK Raghavan without any stiffness and with at most brilliance!!! I can't imagine nobody in that role.The movie gives you shock at the edge of the climax and I really loved it.But it won't end there,director Venu leaves you with a lot of questions,but the best part is answers for all those questions are there in cinema it self. It's pretty little bit difficult to get the CK Raghavan completely but a second time watch will give you a complete idea about him. Kudos to Mammootty for making that character fantabulous!!!It's severely underrated one!!! My all-time favorite!!! Munnariyppu!!!

Apart from succeeding as a drama film that manages to keep your attention throughout its 114-minute song-less spectacle, the movie also succeeds as a a stellar example of how a good screenplay can really carry an entire movie. This movie follows the journey of a young freelance journalist, struggling to make her "big break" work with the biography of a double homicide accused prisoner, whom she takes a fascination to after a few meetings. The story follows her attempts to get him to write about his past and elucidate the details leading to how he was imprisoned - for a crime he vehemently denies committing. Newbie Aparna Gopinath shines in her role as the troubled and desperate journalist trying to get through to the jaded and soft-spoken Mammooty, who delivers an A-class performance reminiscent of his heyday. Cinematographer-turned-director Venu yet again proves that the director chair is something he can handle with equal élan as he does the camera - he will be one director to look out for in this new wave of Malayalam cinema. Overall, the movie is a must-watch for those who appreciate a good story told adeptly, without much brouhaha or over-the-top-ness and miss the days when Malayalam cinema exemplified that one quality for which it was always prized - simplicity.

'Munnariyippu' opens with a top angle shot. As the credits scroll on the screen, in the background an army of ants shift a dead gecko from the screen's left to the right. It is not clear whether the ants have killed the gecko. But they are sure about where they are heading. And they move slowly to that destination. Every once in a while comes along a film that demands from us more than few bucks at the pay counter. It demands attention, asks for involvement. To savour it fully, it isn't enough to watch it. 'Munnariyippu' is going to be one such film. For the classic that it is, 'Munnariyippu' is bound to remain in the hearts of those who care for the art of visual storytelling for long time to come.C K Raghavan is a convicted prisoner for murdering two females. A freelance journalist Anjali who comes to the central prison to help the prison superintendent in writing his autobiography becomes curious about this interesting prisoner and tries to explore the real story behind this man from his own pen. Anjali's journey to know the intellectual Raghavan is what Munnariyippu focusing on.Mammootty as Raghavan is riveting and this is undoubtedly one of the best characters by him recently. The actor who gets a serious character throughout delivers it with his nuances and body language. His dialogue delivery is also brilliant. Aparna Gopinath gets a very meaty role and she is very much comfortable in it. She is very much fortunate to get a good amount of screen space and utilities it very well. Ranji Paniker, Joy Mathew, Nedumudi Venu, Kochupreman are all good in their roles.On the making side, the director has totally avoided the use of clichéd loud masala flavors and as I said earlier, a simple narrative pattern is followed from the start to the end to make Munnariyippu a differently treated film. The film has a very good story-line (By Venu) which is missing in most of the movies today. It is honest and hard hitting. Screenplay is excellent and engaging and the there are no scenes irrelevant or forced. Direction is very good and you can see the experience of a veteran technician like Venu with Munnariyippu. But the highlight of the movie is brilliant dialogues.First half of the film introduces the major characters and sets a good base. Second half is engaging and the dialogues also keeps you interested towards the narrative leading to a shocker climax. This is where the movie reveals everything about the movie and need a your whole brain to connect things. There is no spoon feeding for the audience here and will require your senses to understand it.Munnariyippu is one of the most intriguing films made in recent times.

This movie claims to be a thriller, but after watching I say it is a killer! Yes! It kills all good mood in you after watching. Positives I found: The acting of the boy who delivers food to Mammootty and occasional symbolic quotes by Mamootty. Camera work is commendable as expected from Venu. It seems that the director/writer had a great story in mind but failed to develop it into a good one. This movie doesn't need an actor like Mamootty at the first place. Secondly how on earth did Mamootty agreed to act in it! The pace of the movie is that of a snail. The predictability factor is very important for a thriller. In this case it lacks unpredictability.At the end, this movie will give you a lot to think. Mainly about our decision to watch such a movie. Anyhow it is a must watch for those curious movie goers who want to ascertain what has gone wrong with this movie.
