Indrajith - Arun Kumar Aravind - Murali Gopy team is back with LEFT RIGHT LEFT after last year's much talked movie EE ADUTHA KAALATHU. Whether movie works well with audience?? Lets see




Story
The story unfolds with three main characters - P.K.Jayan aka Vattu Jayan(Indrajith), Cheguvera Roy(Murali Gopy) and Kaitheri Sahadevan(Hareesh Peradi). Watch the movie to know the story as it goes through the social and political issues of today's Kerala eventhough the makers claim that everything is purely fictional.

Performances
Indrajith walks away with all applause as Vattu Jayan with well written dialogues with the ample support of actress who played the role of his mother with typical Trivandrum slang in an awesome way. Murali Gopy was fine in his role. Hareesh Peradi was refreshing in his role. Hope he won't get typecasted like his predecessors. Lena delivered a powerful performance. Remya Nambeesan did justice to her role. Irshad was fine in his cameo. Sudheer Karamana & Sreejith Ravi was good, also Anusree & person who played the bookshop owner on roadside. Baiju, Vijayaraghavan delivers a strong mark. Saiju Kurup and Jagadish was wasted, Mamukkoya too. Suraj Venjarammood and Krishnaprabha were unwanted actors in the script. Rest of the artists did their part well.

Songs & BGM

Though the songs by Gopi Sundar did not make any impact, LRL anthem & BGM was awesome & effective. The whole movie had a strong BGM with LRL anthem.

Technical
Cinematography was fine. Editing was good, especially climax part, director-editor Arun Kumar Aravind deserves special mention for that. Art direction was good in recreating 60s,70s and 80s, but failed to create an effective NewDelhi in flashback episode.

Script & Direction
Script by Murali Gopi was good. Though a clear oneline is missing, the screenplay was strong enough to hold audience attention thoughout with the well written strong dialogues. Though the writer made a strong first half, second half was a letdown comparing first half. The script does not offer something new towards the final portions. Indrajith-Remya episode in second half and a not so effective Saiju Kurup murder case without even enquiring Saiju's past did not suit well with the script's flow. Also the flashback episode of MuraliGopy comes in the wrong reel of the movie. It would have been in first half. And glimpses of it in final hours would have been much more effective. Anyways he succeeded in making the audience engaged till final credits though cliches and loopholes were there.

Direction by Arun Kumar Aravind was good & effective though certain scenes were treated not that good like Sahadevan-Roy talk in second half. A simple scene with limited dialogues was a more effective than this one. Anyways that does not affect the movie in any way. On the whole direction was too good at times and average at times.

On the whole an engaging entertainer

Verdict : Good
BO Verdict : Hit


In the scene, when Saiju Kurup met with accident on right side of the road, blood sheds to Remya Nambeesan's face who was sitting on right side of bus. Is that a technical error or symbolic one director - LEFT RIGHT LEFT???
