Especially today...after the release of Anjam Pathira which is good actually and Forensic (lost everything in the delivery) people started realising how much of a good thriller was Mumbai Police and Memories
For those of you who haven't seen Mumbai Police, it is the best investigation thriller made in malayalam. It has one of the most perfect screenplay I've come across and is supported by impeccable acting by the cast. Fun fact: The remake rights of the movie was sold a long time ago in different languages, but as of now, no actor has shown guts to play the protagonist, portrayed by Prithviraj Sukumaran who is at the top of his game in this film.
Ugh the plot twist was quite silly considering how flimsily it was written(not because of the theme, ony because the writing, the characters, the execution, the assassination plan etc). Quite unconvincing. Otherwise the movie would have remained a cult thriller for ages.
From my understanding, basically, it seemed like the director tried to focus on Shiva/Rudra god's 'sathi viyogam', meaning the pain he suffered when Sathi/Parvathi as Daakshayani left her body during Dakshya Yagna and that enraged Lord Shiva to summon Veerabhadra from his hair strand to demolish Daksha Yagna. Lord Shiva spent ages in anger and unable to withstand the loss of Dakshayani. Later he takes to penance and then Sathi again takes birth as Parvathi and they unite eventually. Anyways, point is, in all the 4 stories in the movie, the hero is never united with his Sathi (heroine). I did not understand what the hymns between each stories meant, but I could feel he was trying to show the same point, pain/ill fate. You can also look at it as a soul not being able to reach his soulmate in 4 different births and this movie focuses on the fate of that soul, always in pain/remorse/craving for his soulmate. It's a different story that nobody attempts these kinda movies. Huge respect and love for such script writers n directors and producers and actors, of course. Cheers. Peace :)
Mumbai police is one of the best investigation thriller movie released in malyalm cinema or indian cinema i would say. The courage that prithviraj showed to potray the role on screen which most of the superstar may shy away from doing was commendable. Must watch for every one.
Its a hit but underwhelming, should have been a bigger hi.the twist in the tale is what "angered" a lot of people at the time although things are only slightly better now even though such subjects are still considered taboo! Agree with TRP MP should have made more numbers
Mumbai police was just an average hit in Kerala boxoffice. Budget was around 4cr. And it only collected around 7cr from theaters. But it's satelite rights saved the producer. Malayalees started appreciating this movie only after its TV premiere.
@@amalkumar2775 it was the talk of the town when it released but didnt get the box office pull at that time because Prithviraj still had a lot of haters at that time and Mumbai police was one of the first films that was taking Prithvi back to business.. i watched the movie in a packed theater and as a Prithviraj fan i was happy to see...
I really enjoyed Wazir, and was extremely upset to see critics calling it stupid It wasn't a masterpiece, but it was a pretty good movie that deserves praise.
I enjoyed Wazir s well :D Critics are really so unreliable, Critics can be paid to give reviews. I recently made a video please check it out ma'am if you have time :D ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Hn0ZHQ5uFWk.html
Srsly the music by Amit trivedi for fitoor is just out of the world. It is probably one of the best album released in the last decade or so still so underrated.
Mumbai Police is just WOW. You see 2 Antony Moses in the Film, one before accident and one after it. It seems like two totally different person. Prithviraj was imppecable.
Preach bro✌️...I tried so hard to convince people around me to go see that film when it came out...it felt so bad to watch as it got limited to just another "average successful" movie...deserved much more..
Quite silly twist. It required more studying and meticulous writing to pull that kind of theme (Refer Moothon). The silly twist was the only reason such a beautifully constructed script felt like it fell flat. Not to mention the atrociously uncreative choice of how the assassination was planned/written.
@@nishilbright2007 I'm from tamil nadu and I started watching this movie because it kept on showing in the hotstar homepage, may be around 3 years ago. Without knowing anything about the movie, I started watching it, just because I felt bored. I have given 10 stars in imdb only for 4 movies so far and this is one of them. I don't know what the keralites feel about the movie but in my opinion this film deserves a lot of attention
In fact, three twists-who, why and another why -(message on the phone)-any of those twists would have made it a great movie-but all three together made it mindblowing. Another success of the movie is that usually in suspense thrillers the convict is hidden and shown in one or two scenes (think Khiladi) but in this movie, the convict is not hidden from the audience and gets plenty of scenes but practically no one guesses him out.
@@fuadabdurahiman8401 it was hit... But it's still underappreciated...like people from other parts of the country haven't really watched it..maybe a few...it's a movie that needs more recognition... according to me
@@unwokeist ooopppsss! Sorry my bad, I assumed it's malyalam because the movie was in malyalam. But at the risk of sounding dumb, is not carnatic a kind of music that can be used with any language. And if there's anything offensive here it's purely due to my ignorance😅😅I am sorry
@@supriyabedi197 well it's centuries old kriti or something..me either ain't know what it's meaning is..but thank god, you knew it's Carnatic music for now atleast or you'd be thinking malayalam is a dumb sounding language that could be used along with any other ..hehe 😛
@@supriyabedi197 yup karnatic is the classical music type of South India. Most of the works are mix of Sanskrit and south Indian languages. Sita kalyana is a very old magala kirthana written by Tyagaraja who's like Tanzen for karnatic music. You sing this during auspicious functions, so it's used in all the south states afik, either sung or played in nadaswaram. The song in solo has like the first line from the original kirthana, and the rest is new song. But ig there are two versions it one in Tamil and one in thelugu bcs the movie is released in multiple languages.
@@awkwardfangirl7682 @supriya bedi. The song in the movie is primarily in Tamil with few english lyrics (If you're seeing the undubbed Malayalam/ Tamil version). It's a song composed by Sooraj Kurup. Only the first line of the Thyagaraja kriti in Carnatic music has been used. Even the music is different from the traditional Carnatic kriti. So, other than the first three words, there is no connection.
@@ojasthengadi9681 the dump level is comparatively less from Malayalam. Its no secret that malayalam cinema is realistic and simple. The topics they touch are niche and unexplored.
True...but the problem is ppl do not appreciate good content movies coz it doesnt hv good entertainment in Bollywood especially...sinc i am a Malayalee brought up in Mumbai...ive grown up watching mostly Hindi movies...its only off late i am fond of South Movies...to an extent Marathi movies too...coz theres lot of good content including Marathi movies...Hindi movies off late in th recent 2-3yrs or so, theyr also learning and making sm out of the box really good movies...but they need to keep that up and bring in more originality and fresh content
It's great to see Bejoy Nambiar's film in this list. He is so good in storytelling, with new concepts and techniques. Shaitan, David, Wazir, Solo, he is too good to be true. I love his crafts ❤️
Mumbai police deserves a solo review in itself .. The most shocked I was too see a movie in theater is MP.. no one I mean no other superstar in India will have the guts to do this role
You are correct ma'am, Solo really is an underrated movie, It deserves so much more than it actually got. Here kindy watch my latest video :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Hn0ZHQ5uFWk.html
Anime GaG Why do people keep going on about Indian movies and Oscars? Why aren’t people happy with national awards or the equivalent? Why not be proud of what the nation offers rather than chasing the awards of another industry and country? You don’t see them moaning about we didn’t get a national award this year and let’s cry about it.
Oscars honour English movies but only movies like parasite win because they were better than films we Indians give many good films that we don't know which one to nominate and end up nominating wrong films
Fan Aus Largely honour American cinema, as it’s their awards! Parasite was most likely a one off, but the point I was making was that you don’t see Koreans moaning that they didn’t win an Oscar, it they get it they get it? Comments here sound like that’s the ultimate aim, surely the aim is to make the best cinema you can? No worry about another country’s awards? What’s wrong with the Indian awards, are they not enough? Are we that desperate for validation?
@@redroom_movies190the guys who gives national awards doesn't even know cinema how do you expect us to satisfy by national award. As you know about Indian criticism. The makers are not even free to show nudity , curse words , violence. And we show they boycott the film.
I only watched Wazir because I found out John Abraham has a special appearance in the film and me being a huge John Abraham fan, watched it. Let me tell you - the movie did not disappoint at all. Every second and minute was interesting and gripping and was just amazing. I went from being a fan watching a film for my idol to questioning why the Indian audience rejects wonderful masterpieces like these. Farhan and Amitabh gave an excellent performance and Aditi was awesome all throughout. And John, even though he's role was quite small, I still enjoyed the film. Was a shame to see it do only below average in box office, but still, a must watch! Thank you Jammy for pointing out masterpieces we need to see :)
Hi Anmol. I have below a list of movies I'd really love for you to watch. Whether you want to review them or not is upto you I don't mind either. But since you appreciate good cinema: 1. Iruvar (starring mohanlal) 2. Thondimuthalum driksakshiyum (starring Fahad faasil) 3. Thoovanathumbikal, Thanmathra, kireedam, bharatham (old movies all starring mohanlal) watch just for his acting if you wish 4. Anbe sivam (starring Kamal Hassan) 5. Kaaka muttai (I personally feel you'll enjoy this lighthearted movie)
You could potentially make a similarly themed list just with Kamal Hassan’s filmography. Hands down the best creator of indian cinema who’s completely under appreciated.
Nil Battey Sannata is also an underappreciated movie. Many people have never even heard about it though it has bagged some awards. And you can watch it with your kids.
Fitoor finally... My friends told me I was crazy to like this movie but it's absolutely Breathtaking, the visuals and Tabu basically made it worth the watch.
You have to catch Ayyappanum Koshiyum to see the superb acting combination of Prithviraj and another underrated actor of malayalam cinema...Biju menon. Its one heck of an edge of the seat thriller.
Anmol thanks man. Didn't know about *Solo, Ajji and Mumbai Police* Also haven't yet watched *Fitoor and Wazir* I'll watch these films one by one since you suggested. Btw please watch and review this 2 Bengali films... 1) *Hemlock Society* (Dark Comedy)(Really unique concept)( The lead actor of this film, *Parambrata Chatterjee* was opposite of *Anushka Sharma* in *Pari* ) 2) *Chotushkone* (Thriller)(The director got the *National Award* for this film) Both these films were directed by *Srijit Mukherji* , the same director who directed *Baishe Shrabon* that you've already watched and liked.
I have been talking about fitoor since It's release. Tabu was just outstanding. Aditya was also very amazing. Maybe his "lack of expression" was perfect for the role. & thank you for mentioning the music. Amit trivedi is so underrated and he deserves more chance. Wazir was also very good. The layering was very good and the ending as well
Another Malayalam thriller that was underappreciated was the 2014 Mammootty film Munnariyippu. Jammy, please do watch the film. Without a doubt one of Mammootty's finest performance
@@RahulRaj-qg5yu it's underated in box office and promotion section. Most of Tamil viewer watch your regular masala movie and D-16 generally go under the radar as it does not have any current famous hero or heroine
among all of these movies the best one is definitely the malayalam movie Mumbai Police honestly the others are nothing compared to Mumbai police PRITHVIRAJ FANS like Adi!
Sir I would like to suggest 2 movies that might make you happy after watching it 1. Crossroad(kannada, 2017) 2.Agent Sai Srinivasa Athreya(2019 telugu)
@@loujainehellali6883 Katrina fits only into a certain genre of roles (Read NRIs or Upper Class girls who have an accent). Well, she is a method actor for such roles! But I would agree that Fitoor was one of the very few movies where she played a good part. New York is another one!
@@alwinpauly7918 lol. In coherence there is a comet passing near to earth. Thats the only thing similar to 9. The story is entirely different. I don't know what fight club have to do with this.
I read Great Expectations the year Fitoor released. I fell in love with the novel and was very positive that the movie would be good. And it was very good, only for the Kashmir conflict angle. It is something we need to talk about but had no place in the movie. And Tabu, well Tabu is a must in a movie based on English Classic Literature. Wazir, extremely clever movie! Don't let anyone who has seen it spoil it for you. Very few people will guess the ending. I feel we scream about absence of intriguing stories but when they are made, we don't support them. Great video as always Jammy, gonna look into the other movies I have not seen yet.
Wow.... *mumbai police* What a amazing movie man🌷 Masterpiece ♥️ Malayalam movies make a different story lines. After you definitely watching *Vettah* & *memmories*
Mumbai Police had its rights sold to hindi tamil & telugu, but not flagged off till date 'cause.. No star had the guts to take up Prithviraj's role as they were scared it might effect their image !! 🥴
Ayushman could do the hindi version. He already portrayed a gay character in Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan. Mumbai Police flopped due to its homosexual scenes. In 2013 Keralites was not ready to accept such content.
I had actually loved Fitoor. I was surprised when it did not do well. Had a lot of depth. All the actors played their roles beautifully. Music album is a gem. Even Wazir, the story is mind blowing.
I just loved Wazir, it was a great suspense thriller with intense and gripping story. Amitabh Bachchan and Farhan Akhtar delivers stellar performances. I don't know why critics didn't liked the movie. It was a masterpiece. To be honest, I loved the movie.
Mumbai Police is a gem mahn..... One of the best thrillers i have ever seen........ No actor in India would dare to do such a role other than prithviraj...
Aayirathil oruvan 2010.. it's a good and honest attempt..the film initially doesn't got into the lime light.. after social media buzz people started to celebrate it...
Thank you for bringing into notice Fitoor and Wazir. I couldn't understand why people rejected these two. There are many which met the same fate like Tamasha and Jagga Jasoos. Try to bring into notice movies like these too.
Fitoor is the best music album ever made in bollywood. ● yeh fitoor mera ● pashmina ● tere liye ● ranga re ● hone do batiya ● haminastau Amit Trivedi is a music magician 💗
I loved solo and the whole story telling specially Dulquer's acting. Later I came to know people rejected this movie and the resason was not good enough to reject such a brilliant story telling.
Ajji was class apart. Watched it in the theatre with a mere audience of 20 or so people, but man, the Climax had all the peopl awe struck. Very few movies have this level of impact.
Fitoor was terrific. But not everyone can accept ARK & KK as Dickens hero & heroine. Wazir may be a good film but nobody can stand Farhan Akhtar as a hero.
Thank you for acknowledging Malayalam movie industry and it's so heart warming for that this channel is a platform for appreciating good cinema and underappreciated ones
The songs of Solo was really good. Maybe the best album of that year. And the hype created due to the songs and teasers did some harm to the initial response as audience were expecting something very big. The movie was a completely different experience.♥️
Misunderstood and / or under-appreciated and / or forgotten films - Rocket Singh - Salesman of the year Urf Professor Bhavesh Joshi Superhero Supermen of Malegaon (Documentary) Shiva (1990) Ramayan: the legend of Prince Ram (animated) Arjun: the warrior Prince (animated) Ankush (1986) Maaficha Saakshidar (1986)
Hey Anmol, there was this movie called Inkaar which was released in 2013, starring Arjun Rampal and Chitrangada Singh. I've never heard much about it. Would you do some video or include it into something? Also thanks for these videos! Your videos are gold!
Jammy watch moothon it is a huge underated movie in 2019 which even received a lot of awards and praise in toronto film festival and opening movie of mami film festival
I absolutely agree your comments regarding Fitoor and Wazir. I loved both of them. And, will definitely watch the others which you suggested because I am sure I will end up liking those!
Totally agree on your insight for the movie Ajji. It was deeply disturbing and uncomfortable to watch the scenes. Yet it made me feel extremely empathetic for the innocent yet a string sense of anger on the perpetrators. Somehow, it had a bitter truth that such monsters very well exist amongst us only to get away by shoving money and power!
