Reviews

joejyojo Such a wonderful script and making is rarely seen in mollywood. Manichitrathazhu is truly a malayalee movie. The route taken by the movie is outstanding.Its a must watch epic psycho thriller.

anoopj226 I'd like to say this is one of the best movies I ever watched in my life and I have seen this film innumerous time, but still I watch this film with great enthusiasm. All films comes with flaws but I never could find a mistake in this film which is made with an utmost care by the creators. Hats off!! Overheard that the script writer took almost 5 years to complete the script after doing a lot of research in the field of human psychology. Directed by Fazil and assisted by 5 great directors in the Malayalam film industry, no doubt it's one of the greatest classic film forever and it's for sure this movie will wonder the generations to come. Last but not the least the casting in this film was so perfect, no one is there to replace any of them in this film and we can't forget the great music and BGM in this movie which has taken us to the next level of experiencing the horror movie.

Rishad A.R Manichitrathazhu is that kind of a movie which will not bore you how many ever times you watch it. The direction and casting has been the highlight while the actors in the movie especially Shobana did a fantastic job for which she receive the National Awards for best actress. The movie is told in line with the culture and tradition of the place, Kerala and the rituals practiced there. Its a horror movie with a scientific view given to it and never got deviated from concept of science to a ghost movie. The movie maintains its pace and mentioned earlier, Shobana's work should be praised as it was at a different level, something which Indian cinema never ever witnessed till date. The director crafted each and every scene and characters so elegantly and wisely that every character contributed to the movie and every scene was relevant to the storyline. Its a must watch Indian movie of all time especially if you like the genres likes horror or suspense.
