Jawan Of Vellimala

Director  : Anoop Kannan
Starring  : Mammootty, Sreenivasan, Mamta Mohandas, Asif Ali


Jawan Of Vellimala is one of the much hyped and most awaited malayalam movie of 2012. The movie is directed by debutant Anoop Kannan.  Mammootty is playing the lead role in the movie as Gopi Krishnan. The movie also include Sreenivasan, Mamta Mohandas, and Asif Ali in the lead roles. This movie is produced by Mammooty and is distributed by Mammootty's own production company "Playhouse".

The movie tells the story of Gopi Krishnan (Mammooty), who was a military officer. He took voluntary retirement from military service and reaches Vellimala as a dam operator. No one in the village is willing to accept Gopi Krishnan as a courageous Military officer because he is afraid of ghosts. At night he usually used to see images of ghosts. Varghesse (Sreenivasan) is the executive engineer and Anitha (Mamtha) is the  project officer of Vellimala Dam. Koshi Oommen (Asif Ali) is the son of Oommen Koshi , the dam contractor. In a particular situation Varghesse goes missing and  Gopi Krishnan join hands with Koshi Oommen to find Vargheese. During their search for Vargheese some mysteries relating to the dam are revealed.

The first half of the movie was superb and enjoyable with good locations and comedy situations. "Elengadi" song was good. 1st half moves along with Mammooty's character Gopi Krishnan and his mystical mind. When the movie moves to second half the pace in the first half was missing. James Albert could have taken more care of the screenplay in second half. When the movie approaches climax, the entire content of the movie was lost and the climax was boring. The poor screenplay in the second half ruined the movie.

Mammootty, Sreenivasan, Anoop Kannan's direction, good locations and the cinematography of Sateesh Kurup were the positive factors.

Asif Ali, Poor screenplay in the second half, and climax were the negative factors.

Rating    : 2.5
Verdict  : Watchable once without any expectations but disappoints a bit due to the huge hype surrounding it.
