Pranchiyettan And The Saint (2010) :
Brief Review -
Mammootty mania grabs a meaningful subject to teach us a lot about humanity and goodwill. We always say, 'In the search of Gold, we lost Diamond', or sometimes it's other way around, 'In the seach of gold, we got Diamond'. I don't know i am making the exact sense I want to make or whether i am unable to elaborate the point, so, let's just simplify it. What i mean is, 'In the seach of forceful and undeserving reputation, he (our protagonist) got organic respect and deserving love.' That's it, i can't explain more. Our protagonist Pranchiyettan is a successful businessman who often has talks with an imaginary St. Francis of Assisi. The story deals with how he goes about changing his embarrassing image to making a name for himself using wealth and contacts. Mammootty plays the role like he was into it. Despite the fact that the character is not heavy or intense, it is very light hearted and happy-go-lucky character, he gets into the character without any strong efforts. It just comes naturally and i loved the simplicity of it. Priyamani, Khushbu Sundar, child artist Ganapathi and other supporting cast all are perfect in their roles despite little space available. The film holds a strong parallel line of religious belief and on the other side it keeps teasing you with the two opposite of the protagonist, Positive and Negative. He's damn reckless sometimes, he is little dumb and hesitates to find compatibility but the same man has a kind heart, generous nature and he's always there to help the needed ones. With that Saint part in the climax the film feels moving and heart touching because of the natural use of goodwill and humanity. It doesn't create big drama for it and that's what makes it even better. Ranjith's direction is superb, the humour and comedy he used is simple and effective. Overall, a very good humam drama with lots of fun moments.
RATING - 7.5/10*
