“Sheer Brilliance That
Combination Of Talents Can Offer”
When half a dozen of national award winners meet,one will not
expect anything short of a memorable experience and Pathemari is nevertheless a
truly remarkable piece of film-making that brims with grandeur from
acting,directorial and technical brilliance.
Undoubtedly among the best films to come out this year,Pathemari
is a heartfelt tribute to all those expatriates who struggled & is
struggling hard for their loved ones without expecting anything in
return.Director Salim Ahammed solidifies his position in Malayalam Cinema with
yet another striking movie after critically acclaimed Adaminte Makan Abu &
Kunjananthante Kada.
There's something masked behind the Yardley perfumes and
colorfully covered chocolates that we correlate with a gulf returnee and
Pathemari throws light on those numerous souls who had strong belief that the
most important achievement in one’s life is the betterment of his loved ones
rather than his personal well-being-A hearty tribute in all means!
For someone like me who has dealt with and known people like
Pallikkal Narayanan in person,Pathemari gave a feeling as if I'm a part of the
narration with a major share of hard-hitting dilaogues and situations
experienced before or heard of.
The climax portions were simply outstanding and Mammookka nailed
it with his brilliant act that made it diffcult to control tears rolling down
the cheeks.If someone ask me the most touching movie of 2015 I watched from
theaters ,my immediate answer will be Pathemari.Period.
Hats off to our pride Mammookka for the touching portrayal of
Pallikkal Narayanan who reminded me of few I know in person. Megastar enacted
various transformations in the life of protagonist excellently ith necessary
variations and perfection. A class apart you are,Mammookka, Siddique and Sreenivasan were
impressive in their respective roles as Launch Velayudhan and Moideen
respectively.Jewel Mary made her debut performance memorable.Saleem Kumar,Joy
Mathew,Santhosh Keezhattoor etc come in supporting roles and did their part well.
Music & score by BijiBal was soulful and calls for repeated
hearing.The title song in Shahabaz Aman's vocals was the best part of the album
and blessed with thoughtfullyrics by Rafeeque Ahammed.Oscar winner Rasool
Pookkutty did his best part with sound design.
This review will be incomplete if I left out veteran Madhu
Ambaat who captured the visuals brilliantly.Another name to be noted is of
Pattanam Rasheed who did a commentable job in the makeup department producing
convincing make-ups for various transformations of Narayanan.
Overall,Pathemari is a must watch film for all those who love
good films that reflects life as it is.
Verdict::Salim
Ahammed's Pathemari is a fitting tribute to all those selfless expatriates who
work hard for their close ones without demanding anything in return.Watchout
for the climax which is sure to bring tears to your eyes ! Go for it!
