    Hi! Watched this movie yesterday! To tell you the fact, i dont have enough vocabulary to express my feelings about this movie. Its simpy EXCELLENT. Be it be for acting, cinematography, standard of story telling, historical accuracy, sound effects, this movie excels in all departments. For me, such a movie has never been taken( in all respects) in india( bollywood can inspire a lot from the movie).
    To start with, Kudos to MT Vasudevan nair, the Jnana peedam award winning literary giant , he is the backbone of the movie. No one apart from him could have written such a script maintaining historial accuracy and attention of viewers. Only a man who has mugged up history and mythologies, epics can write such a commendable script.
    Then hariharan, the director of the movie , has done a remarkable job. I guess he is booming with confidence when he find MT working with him.
    Well in the acting department, i have to say that every actor in the movie has done an amazing job. For me it has got more do with the right casting(most of our directors dont even give a damn about casting anyways).
    Mammotty..Oh boy..he is simply exhilarating portraying the charecter of Pazhassi raja. He has perfectly understood the mood and mindset of the charecter. He is quite subtle, yet showing his adrenaline rush whenever required.
    I had goosebumps during the scene when he is tactfully captured by the British and pazhayaveedan chandhu, and his wife offering him water on a copper plate hiding a mighty Urumy out of nowhere and freaking out the british.
    Sarath Kumar for me, delivers some Cracking Matierial, he really looks like an Army chief, very manly, and he has done justice to his charecter.
    Another surprise package in the movie is Manoj K Jayan and Padmapriya as tribal Leaders. i dont want to explain too much things, and it will spoil the surprises.
    Technically the movie is at its best, can be comparable with international movies. The camera work is stunning and visuals just take u along with the movie to the 18th century.
    Well another hero, though dont have any screen presence is our Resul Pookutty, his samples of sounds make the movie quite realistic. Watch out for the fight sequences.
    The background score is Brilliant, a different work form Illayaraja.
    For me the most creative scene of the movie, is when , the pazhassi army performs a well calculated surprise raid during night on british camp, and captures it. Meanwhile Pazhassi, sitting on horse from a high altitude hill, quite bothered about the outcome. When the army set the british arm-stockpile on fire, pazhassi gets view of a small rising flame far away, in the moonlight. Oh boy, that express in Mammotty face is priceless.
    This should be an inspiration for other indian directors, who believe that, giving an ambience of king, queen and war can yield a classic movie. Once again my Pranamam to guru, MT vasudevan Nair.
    Overall my Verdict : Excellent.

    I am not at all a mammootty fan..But it is great movie..Great sound effect, great action altogether a good movie

  • anoop said:

    In my opinion the movie wasn’t the one which could generate a sort of patriotism, the dialogs were weak, I was expecting some strong dialogs from Mammootty like the movie “The King” but I was disappointed. But as babu ramachandran told, the other facts were too good, the background score, the sceneries etc were beautiful and Sarat kumar was superb infact he and Manoj K Jayan had the bigger roles.

    I heard a news that Sarat Kumar’s role was earlier planned to be given to Suresh Gopi (well I can’t even imagine that NOM )

    Whatever it is , this movie is worth to be watched and that too in theatres only.
