Moothon

Director :Geetu Mohandas
Genre : Drama
Language:Malayalam/Hindi
Year :2019


Mulla only heard stories about elder brother...Akbar is his name and he is in Bombay..Mulla lives in a small island in Lakshadweep...One day,Mulla takes a boat and travels to Bombay ....and arrives there....But what was the reason Akbar moved away to Bombay and never returned to his native place?


'Moothon' means  the eldest among the siblings.So this is the story Akbar and Mulla in one way,but also the story of many others...This a my first Geethu Mohandas film and I will call her a bold and brilliant film maker.She has dealt with themes that are not generally discussed in a mainstream Molly wood movieThen again Molly wood is growing each day with brilliant films and film makers - people who are brave enough to think differently and tell stories  with a universal appeal People like LJP and Geethu...I hope more join the group....

When it comes to performance ,Akbar is Nivin Pauly's carrier best character.He is usually seen as a romantic hero with a boy next door charm,but Akbar is a total new avatar -a broken man who will do anything to get money -a man who lost something precious to him a long time ago.I am totally surprised by his performance - Way to go Nivin..Way to go....Now comes the rest of the cast - Sanjana Dipu ,Sobhita Dhulipala,Shashank Arora,Roshan Mathew,Sujith Shankar -everyone has given brilliant performances .

'Moothon' is not a happy story with romance ,comedy,action and songs..This is a different  kind of cinema.To be exact what Geethu is doing in Mollywood is similar to what Anurag Kashyap is doing in Bollywood They are telling stories of people who are trying hard to live in a world - which is full of gray shades and those stories  are raw and disturbing ...And I like it....
