A beautiful, meditating experience
14 September 2019
KUMBALANGI NIGHTS :

The line from Kung fu panda best describes the overall movie "There is no secret ingredient, you just have to believe it's special"

That's what the makers thought while making it and it didn't turn out to be a regretful one.

The actors are Perfect and Authentic. Fahadh Faasil stands out of the crowd as he walks this fine line of not exploding into anger and controlling it with a mysteriously terrifying smile. Cinematography is breathtaking while the score blending in with it is meditating. The slow-motion shots during the songs feel as a catalyst to set the mood and tone of the sequence. The structure is organic and does not feel pushed. Kudos to the production design. The camera did was just follow the characters and was not telling us "Look, I'm showing you something". My only issue is that they should have cut the shots at some places which would have been better if they just let the camera on the characters(Like before Bobby caught that fish from the lake) . The arcs of the four brothers is not subtle but is quite enjoyable.

VERDICT : Watch it to calm yourself
