Meghamalhar Malayalam Movie
Meghamalhaar, directed by Kamal and produced by Mathrubhoomi and Asianet, is one of those films that you'd love to see and cherish in your memory forever. A film that cools your head and soothes your heart and gives you the feel that Malayalam cinema is not fully left in the dark, but that there are still rays of hope somewhere. It's a film that assures you that after all Malayalee filmmaker's sensibilities are not faltering. Director Kamal, producer MV Shreyams Kumar and all those in Mathrubhoomi and Asianet who were associated with the making of the film deserves special credit for Meghmalhaar.
Meghamalhaar tells the story of Rajeevan, an advocate and Nandita Menon, a writer. Rajeevan is married to Rekha, a bank employee, and has two kids. Nandita is married to Mukundan (Siddique), a businessman in the Gulf, and has a daughter. Both meet each other accidentally and in due course become intimate. Their tastes and thinking are almost alike. And in due course Nandita understands that Rajeevan is her long lost childmate and that makes the relationship mean much more for her. Rajeevan finds it much difficult to understand the nature of their relationship. But they continue with their sweet relationship and it is this sweet relationship that Kamal etches in Meghmalhaar.
Biju Menon as Rajeevan and Samyuktha as Nandita form a really good pair and do full justice to their respective roles. Poornima Mohan as Rekha, Renjini as Seemanthini, Nandita's friend, Sreenath as Advocate Bhoominathan, Rajeevan's friend and Shivaji as Rajeevan's elder brother have played their parts very well. Raghavan and Siddique don't have much to do, but whatever they could do to make their roles excellent, they have done. Lyrics by ONV Kurup set to tune by Ramesh Narayanan deserves special mention. Beena Paul's editing and Venugopal's cinematography deserve special mention too. It is, no doubt, that seeing Megahmalhaar would be a really different and unforgettable experience for the viewers who have been seeing dry, stale, meaningless stuff in the name of cinema.
