North 24 Kadham, the Malayalam movie had come wth a lot of recommendations.:-))
First half an hour made me think whether the recommendations were misplaced. But after finishing the movie, I can see what my friends probably wanted me to see.
i would like to see it as a road movie. Typically, the genre of road movies has characters which don't get along in the beginning and you see the roads and also see the interaction between/among the characters.:-))
North 24 Kadham, starts with investing great deal of time trying to establish the strangeness of the lead character Hari, played by Faahad Faazil, whose great fan I am becoming after each consecutive movie. Suffering from (Probably) an obsessive compulsive disorder and almost a sociopath, he meets up with an old person, played superbly by Nedumudi Venu and a young social worker, played by Swathi Reddy.
The circumstances of their coming together is not very convincing, the long build up to establish Hari as strange is not it to much good use and the interaction among the three could have been more intense.
However, what the movie has, that itself leaves you with good memories. Kerala, ever the beautiful, in all its charming landscapes and some people they meet on the way. To me, the most interesting persons they meet were a couple, a Kutchi woman who drives a matador kind of home and her Tamil husband who live together but have no common language. A touching scene was where Venu's character, the old man, wraps the body of his long time comrade and wife in the flag of a communist party.
Thanks for the recommendation guys.:-))
