Showtime & Date : 6.15pm, 07-11-2011(BAKRID)


Finally saw the much awaited movie of the year KRISHNANUM RADHAYUM by alien star SANTHOSH PANDIT who shot to fame through the songs of this movie aired through YOUTUBE.



Story
John(Santhosh Pandit) is a christian who is not in good terms with his father & brother who are after making money. John is an album music director and a poster/banner maker. He is in love with hindu girl Radha. They gets married eventhough resistance were there from both's families & horoscope problems between them. For getting a house for rent, John was forced to tell that he's a hindu named Krishnan. Both stays in house where Rukmini & her mother stays. Things went well till the last minutes with songs & subplots. Twist is when Radha gets murdered. Watch the rest on theatres itself.

Performances
TERRIFIC is the word which is apt for this. It's a SANTHOSH PANDIT show all the way. He introduced a new set of expressions to NAVARASA. Audience support for him, his gestures, his dialogues, expressions were TERRIFIC. He acted well in scene in which fainted & in scene in which he becomes ill. NO WORDS TO TELL MORE. Watch the movie in theatres to see the minute expressions of Santhoshettan well. Don't miss the terrific expression of Santhoshettan when he comes to know that his wife got murdered.

All the female characters had unique identity in the movie with apt screenspace. Rest of the starcast were superb with new generation acting techniques.

Songs
Biggest plus point of the movie was songs, BGM too. Picturisation of all songs were well received by audience with dancing before the screen along with Santhoshettan on screen. Read my audio review here.

Technical
Here too its a SANTHOSH PANDIT show. Editing needs a special mention. Cinematography lacks the punch as it was done by someone else & not Santhoshettan. Action sequences with Marmani vidyas were terrific.

Script & Direction

Again a SANTHOSH PANDIT show. Movie started with thanks to a set including ALL KERALA SANTHOSH PANDIT FANS & WELFARE ASSOCIATION. After movie title, just two title cardds. Then listed the 15 things & then came the name which everyone waited, yes SANTHOSH PANDIT. Audience applause was awesome. First few minutes were boring because Santhosh Pandit was not there & reminded me like a TV serial. Dialogues in those scenes too were too dramatic.When SANTHOSHETTAN entered the screen, if you see the response, for one moment you may think whether you are sitting in Rajnikanth movie playing theatre, TERRIFIC TERRIFIC TERRIFIC!!! From then on movie became engaging with new generation set of dialogues implanted on cliched worked out formula storyline. First half was an engaging one with good set of songs & proceedings. Second half lags a lot till the harthal episode of Radha's friend Sreeja. The main plus point of the movie were the songs and the awesome dialogues by Santhoshettan. Dialogues in 11 min Trailer was just a teaser in my opinion. Lots of interesting dialogues were there. Dialogues by audience too were terrific!!! After Goutham Vasudev Menon, it's Santhosh Pandit only who used English dialogues with this perfection suiting the scene well. An example, scene in which heroine had to answer like sammathichu. The dialogue was "YES, I AM AGREED"

Verdict : TERRIFIC MASS ENTERTAINER OF THE YEAR
BO Verdict : Already a blockbuster, may be a mega blockbuster


A must watch in theatres. An experience which you won't get by watching online or a DVD/CD.
A MOVIE OF A LIFETIME. THESE THINGS HAPPENS ONLY ONCE. SO DON'T MISS THIS!!!

The best counter dialogue from audience for Santhoshettan's dialogue
Santhoshettan on movie : Mrugangal orikkalum swantham vargathilullavare kollaarilla, avarkku vargasnehamundu. pakshe manushyano?
An audien : Vargasneham ullathu kondaada nee jeevichirikkunne


Another smart one was when ad of QUBE technology was shown after interval "Enthina ithokke kaanikkunne, Lavante pallu kaanikkanalle"
