Puthan Panam (2017)
Mammoty
The new movie from Ranjith – Mammootty combination, Puthan Panam was announced on November 2016. As per the trailer, the movie seemed like something that had to do with the demonetization that happened on November 8 . I was curious to know how writer director Ranjith managed to create an interesting story in such a short time. My curiosity was answered with a really disappointing cinema that had very less to do with its trailer and title. With only the swagger and slang working in favor of the movie, Puthan Panam looks aimless.
1971: Beyond Borders (2017)
Good movie
The movie kicks off by introducing Colonel Mahadevan and his Indian troupe saving a set of Pakistani soldiers during a UN mission. That's where the backstory of the movie comes into focus as Mahadevan saved the son of the head of a Pakistani force who was killed by his dad Sahadevan. However, there is no animosity between the soldiers – as for them, just like the recurrent theme of the movie suggest, humanity supersedes war and they are aware that war, no matter how needless it is, will take casualties. The film focuses on three decorated officers – Major Mahadevan, Lieutenant Chinmay (Allu Sirish) and Lieutenant Raja (Arunoday Singh) from the Pakistani Army. The director dedicates the first half to showing the lives of the soldiers outside the war front – when they are with their families. Also, even when they are on the battlefront, how their thoughts are always with their loved ones.
The Great Father (2017)
Great Father
Say a daddy-daughter film and it's sure to raise some expectations of a few 'papa's little girl' scenes, cute moments of laughter and enough to get one misty-eyed triggering your own parallel experiences. Just like its teaser indicated, Mammootty's The Great Father is no different. Part-endearing and part-heroic, it's the tale of a dad who goes to the bravest extent to bring justice to his daughter
