My review: Left Right Left
Murali Gopy and Arun Kumar Aravind combo come together with yet another gem after their much critically acclaimed " Ee Adutha kalathu " with their latest flick "Left Right Left". It is a rare movie in which the makers have gone about their job nonchalantly in a no-hold-barred manner in dealing with a political story. The conviction and courage of the duo is what that is striking when one watches "Left Right Left".
Movie deals with the theme of "revolution is home made " and starts with a declaration that " Man is part DNA , part unknown and part what he sees and goes through as child". That childhood experiences shape one's future life is said though the lives of three men in the backdrop of communism and communist ideology and it's present day context.
Kudos to the writer-director in not diluting their storyline fearing the political repercussions. It is well known fact how communists at the top level have got corrupted and diluted in their ideologies to accommodate for their own vested interests yet the grass root level comrades still holding on to theirs' which eventually lead them to their own undoing. Through Murali Gopy's Che Guvera Roy, the movie explores the psyche of a communist caught up in between the two.
Movie's excellent writing is backed up by brilliant casting and their performances. Murali Gopy leads the way with a matured and restrained portrayal of a person whose life if filled with eternal dilemma between holding on to one's ideology and compromising for one's survival. Indrajit is first class in the role of a Bipolar police inspector who get to learn things in a hard way in life. He gets all the applause-worthy lines in the movie along with Sethulakshmi (one of the best mother characters in recent times which will stay in one's mind for a long time) who plays his mother.
Lena sparkles with a stellar performance who comes to her own towards the end of the movie. Ramya Nambeesan as manipulative Jennifer ( she is fast becoming an expert in these types of roles) is good. Hareesh Peradi is excellent in the role of a scheming politician. With his cold demeanor and body language he is menacing.
Gopi Sunder's musical score is yet another pillar of strength for this movie. But technically the movie canbe rated in between tacky and moderate. However no fault can be found in Shehnad Jalaal's cinematography.
On the whole, "Left Right Left" is a must watch especially if you are politically aware and more so having leftist leaning.
Bottomline: One of the best movie on politics in recent times.
4/5
