Spadikam (1995)
Classic
This is the movie, the reason for which I gave Manichithrathazhu rating 9. Well, it's not all entertainer like Manichithrazhu, but the movie's Story, Screenplay, Direction, Cast, Editing, everything is in a perfect Balance, like absolute perfection.
There is a theme to this movie throughout, it is not like what you see in some movies like a dark theme like sin city or watchmen, or like themes which you see a movie showing an old era like those we see in a war movies, or like magical movies where everything in neat and clean, magical, shiny, sparkling... well what I'm trying to say is we can see the theme of movie in editing making it comical like The Hulk, you do get my point, right ? It's not that kind of theme that we get in editing, that theme of the movie is seen as a result of mutual understanding of the story, script, screenplay, direction and editing, this movie is not a result of computers but Brilliant minds who understood the story which is the backbone of the movie Spadikam
Like the director of this movie Mattel Bhadran said "There is only one Spadikam and it has already happened. Dont dare touch it", when a rumour was spread that there is going to be a remake
Well Actors too are marvelous they too understood the soul of the movie, the cast is so perfect that we could not imagine someone else in their place, Thilakan, Mohanlal, Urvashi, Rajan P Dev, Karamana Janardhanan... Everyone else awesome
"There is only one Spadikam and it has already happened. Don't dare touch it"
- Mattel Bhadran, director of Spadikam
Manichitrathazhu (1993)
Psychic thriller, suspense, Comedy, a bit romance, horror, fully entertaining
Great psychic thrillers contain elements like horror, suspense, drama, a bit of romance but, does it contain other entertaining elements like Great Comedy, what about beautiful love songs, Friendship ? Rare are movies which has it all and MANICHITHRATHAZHU is one of those movies. Actors ? They are the ideal examples of who an actor should be... Simply Great
And speaking about the core theme of movie,
It's basically a psychic thriller, but we can see elements of myths like rebirth, eternal love and most importantly Exorcism explained with help of Psychology, in a way we could call this movie Sci-fi or better a Psychic fiction like 'psy-fi' may be ?
Any way the story of the movie is great, if you really understand the malayalam language you will also enjoy the puns, sarcasms, jokes which make another face of movie
Basically it's a true complete movie.
