God's Own Country

My review: God's Own Country

"God's Own Country", yet another Malayalam movie presented in the hyperlink screenplay format, is a fast-paced thriller that handles a myriad of topical issues along the way. Vasudev Sanal has deftly handled the written matter of Arun Gopinath, Anish Francis and Praveen Kumar to provide the viewers with wholesome entertainment. Though movie has its moments of over-the-top-heroism, the presentation is such that one may overlook the same in the pace with which things happen. Same holds true as far as the logical loopholes are concerned. 

Movie has three main plots intertwined with many subplots with these main plots spicing up the narrative. Though the movie has so many plots and subplots, at no point in time one might get confused, the credit goes to the writers as well the director. The difference in the colour tone of the frames which the makers have employed to differentiate the three main plots starts off well but after a point gets redundant. However the seamless confluence of all the plot in end is in itself a testimony to the intelligence of the writers. 

The ensemble cast full of talented actors enriches the narrative a great deal. Fahad Fasil is effervescent as ever, this time trying his hand on action and he comes out well. Sreenivasan in another author backed role does his part with aplomb while Lal in an underplayed role once again proves the prowess of the veteran. Mythili and Lena give credibility to their roles. 

Gopi Sunder's background score lends more than a helping hand in keeping the narrative engrossing. Technically movie is as good as any movie of any other language. Aravind Krishna and Arun James are the cinematographers. 

On the whole, "God's Own Country" is a fast paced entertainer that will leave you breathless in the end. 

Bottomline: Fast and furious 

3.5/5
