A winner of multiple
awards at various Global Film Festivals, the film deliberates on the religious
aspects of the Muslim community and the manner in which they inculcate the
habit of being religiously inclined to God especially with growing children
with impressionable minds!
The rituals when
a man from the community breathes his last and the last journey of that
individual while speaking about the role play enacted by those around,
especially the near and dear ones as well as the kith and kin of the deceased
have been elaborately depicted in a very effective manner.
The cinematography
of T.S.Prasanna deserves special mention especially in the scene where a
departed noble soul undergoes the last journey while a flock of sheep is being
shown of walking across-pathway to heaven-brilliantly conceived and
breathtakingly shot sequence, this is!
Also, the camera
work sizzles where a man is shown sitting at the edge of a twisted boulder
across his house atop a mountainous terrain!
Arguably, the
scene where a news item on the television about the entry of women into the
Sabarimala Shrine could have been avoided which has no relevance to the crux of
this film’s plot, whatsoever!
But in all, a
good movie made and presented well.
As this movie
could be categorised as parallel cinema, the slow pace is not an issue!
