asad shuvo I can ensure there will be a smile when you will watching this movie.well written, and very good acting. A journey of love ,friendship and joy. may be spoiler: "kasi", the hero start a journey with his best friend searching for his love. in the meantime of journey they explore the beautiful India, they ride alongside with bikers, they go to various place like "Puri", "kolkatta"... but their destination were "Nagaland" where they come to find "kasi's" love "Assi" .In the middle of journey there were flash back where we can see how their love started .they were both Engineering student. "Kasi" was involving with students politics and communism. their love grew first. "Assis" parents died when she was a little girl.after college "kasi" decided to tell his parents about "Assi". but his parents knew earlier.Their religion was different. so they didn't agree."Assi" left .Then the journey begin.was it a interesting journey? A difficult one? will he find his love?? Happy watching :)
Hansda Sowvendra Shekhar "Neel Akasham Pacha Kadal Chuvanna Bhoomi" is so sweet in parts that I just feel like giving it 10 stars straightaway. Also, there is this cute pair of Dulquer Salmaan and Surja Bala Hijam; and, more than that, the dazzling chemistry between Dulquer Salmaan and Sunny Wayn. Also, there are some memorable characters and sequences. Yet, the film falls short for some reasons.First, the politics. This is not a political film. It is good as a love story, and even better as a road/biker film. I do not understand why the suicide of a Dalit student, the SFI, the lead character Kasi's (Dulquer Salmaan) father being a prominent person, etc. were put in the film? Couldn't Kasi and Assi (Surja Bala Hijam) have met at a college festival, or in their college corridor, or in the library, or in a coffee shop, instead of at a students' protest march? The religious angle, Kasi's Muslim family not accepting a Christian Assi is understood. The Naxalite zone somewhere in Telangana (Andhra Pradesh, at the time when this film was released) is understood. A village somewhere in northern Odisha or southern West Bengal that has been taken over by mining companies, that is understood. The communal riot in Assam is understood. Even that part where a man convicted of killing one of Kasi and Assi's friends tries to bump off Suni in northern West Bengal is understood. But why politics for no reason during Kasi and Assi's college days? If this film has been inspired by "Diarios di Motocicleta", then I am sorry, this inspiration doesn't work at all even if one were to argue that politics has become a part of campus life nowadays. For a film like "Diarios di Motocicleta", one needed a political theme, and "Neel Akasham Pacha Kadal Chuvanna Bhoomi" is, I repeat, a love story, not a political story. Assi rides from Kerala to Nagaland for love, not for politics. And even if Kasi took this road trip to discover himself, like Che Guevara did in "Diarios di Motocicleta", then what happened to that self-discovery and, ultimately, his politics - he has a memorable dialogue in the college politics sequence: "I fought for a student's right to live" - once his road trip was over? He just fetched Assi from her home in Nagaland and fled, apparently, to a city like Bangalore or somewhere where a Malayali Muslim boy marrying a half-Marathi-half-Naga Christian girl wouldn't raise eyebrows. Why couldn't the makers of this film keep it simple and only deal with Kasi's trip to meet Assi and the difficulties Kasi and Suni faced on their journey instead of raising major issues, like, a Dalit student committing suicide, education loans, campus politics, politicisation of the death of a Dalit student, etc., they had no intention to resolve?Second, some parts of the film seem quite stilted. And I am very sad to observe that these parts feature the lead pair: Dulquer Salmaan and Surja Bala Hijam. They are just so cute I just kept staring at them as I saw them on the screen. In fact, Dulquer Salmaan is the reason why I purchased the DVD of "Neel Akasham Pacha Kadal Chuvanna Bhoomi" in the first place! But though Dulquer and Surja Bala look fantastic together, most scenes featuring them, especially the college parts, look too lame to be believable. Yes, some parts of theirs are quite memorable, like, Dulquer grabbing Surja Bala's hand in the college corridor and pulling her in his direction while she was walking the other way. But it is a sad fact I have to painfully accept: The chemistry between Dulquer and Surja Bala is just flat. On the other hand, Dulquer's chemistry with the two other girls, Paloma Monappa (playing Ishita) and Avantika Mohan (playing Fathima), is just fabulous.Ultimately, it comes to the hero's sidekick, Suni (played by Sunny Wayn), to rescue the film. And what a rescue it is! Suni is the first character seen on the screen, and he is a scene-stealer! In fact, Suni's "love or lust" dialogue and his sequences with Gauri (played by Ena Saha) and Paru (Abhija Sivakala) are more interesting than the sequences between Dulquer and Surja Bala. Sunny Wayn is the life of this film➖the blue sky, the green sea, and the red earth of "Neel Akasham Pacha Kadal Chuvanna Bhoomi".Sunny Wayn, and some scenes that stayed on in my mind even after the film was long over. Like, Kasi reading the book, "Long Way Round", by Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman, that, apparently, inspires him to make that Kerala to Nagaland road trip on his Bullet motorcycle; Dhritiman Chatterjee's character saying, "I will wait for the sound of the Bullets"; Assi, an architecture student, reading a book by Gabriel Garcia Marquez; Assi's home in Nagaland full of books; Kasi and Suni meeting a Malayali motor mechanic in northern West Bengal and Suni remarking, "That is why there are so many nails on this road!"; Suni amused at the sight of a potato in his biryani in Kolkata; and, perhaps the most touching sequence in this film, even more than the love story and anything else, Kasi realising, after experiencing a death in the Assam riot, that he should have performed his basic duty of looking after his aged parents instead of coming on a road trip (anyone living alone and far from one's family would identify with this scene). These are the scenes that are still running in my mind.Even with so much going for this film - a very promising plot, a to-die-for lead pair, an amazing actor playing the sidekick, lovely cinematography, a background score that often reminded me of Shigeru Umebayashi's "Yumeji's Theme" - "Neel Akasham Pacha Kadal Chuvanna Bhoomi" fails to deliver much. Another disappointment: These two dudes rode up to Babhanhati in northern Odisha, they missed Jharkhand by just a whisker! It would have been lovely to see Dulquer Salmaan here.
yashmishra91 Neelakasham Pachakkadal Chuvanna Bhoomi (Malayalam):After the critically acclaimed "Chappa Kurish", director Sameer Thahir comes up with 2 and half hour Discovery Channel travelogue film, which has the shades of films like "Aranyer Din Ratri", "Dil Chahta Hai", "Rang De Basanti", "3 Idiots" & "Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara". Despite the flashback track which is draggy, yet well unfolds the cause of the film's travel, the film has contemporary issues based strokes like the Naxalism, Communal Violence,etc. The film has a good layered screenplay by Hashir Mohammad with beautiful moments and warming dialogues. Editing by Srikar Prasad is as usual great where his editing the motif based shots actually makes the film travel smoothly. Sound Design and Production Design work is brilliant, but the cinematography by Girish Gangadharan captures the best of the journeys as well as the travellers. Music score by Rex Vijayan is actually compliments the film's journey. Now coming to performances, apart from the brilliant supporting cast, Dhritimaan Chatterjee is actually riveting and his moments with the protagonist played by Dulquer Salmaan actually make you remind of the latter's chemistry with Thilakan in the 2012 masterpiece "Ustad Hotel". Sunny Wayne is great and Dulquer Salman is absolutely great and he leaves no room for flaws in his performance where his Hindi speaking Charms you. Overall, despite the draggy flashback track, the narration by Thahir is loaded with great moments, visuals and aesthetics as well. My rating would be:4/5.
vickykolari Its not just a joyous journey, its not any kind of normal trip, they are not seeking for "Music, Babes or Waves", they are on a purpose, and Sameer Tahir helps not only Kasi and Suni reach their purpose with some lessons, not only to them but also to us, the audience, to get inspired. and it also makes you experience the wonderful locations of our India just few days before Independence Day. Although that wasn't his intentions.Its about two close friends, Kasi and Suni, going on a road trip in their Bullet from Kerala to Nagaland, with purpose of peace, motivation and Love. They meet different people, learn lot of things, but the question is whether they reach their aim..? Whether they find what came seeking all the way from Kerala..? Find it out with this inspirational journey under the Blue Sky..!!Main credit goes to Sameer, Gireesh Gangadharan and Rex Vijayan for their perfect combination in making this as a perfect art on celluloid. Camera work by Gireesh in capturing beautiful locations from Kerala, Puri, Bamanghata (WB) and Nagaland. Background music is perfect when the pleasant long rides, intense mugging and communal violence scenes and the romantic moments.As we know, without a perfect direction, there is no perfect performances. And with that saying, we can say Sameer done his job right way as we see everyone performing perfectly (The main characters). As we know taking professional actors all the way in the road trip is a bit difficult job, here Sameer handles the amateur actors well who we meet in this journey.As others in the movie, Dulquer Salmaan and Sunny Wayne bring about perfect combination of the previous Second Show even here. The close friends express, feel and value their friendship and make a strong bond as the journey goes on. Dulquer as usual at his best, he always been a wonderful actor in spite of looking best on screen. Sunny is a bit low on expression in some screens, still he done a Well-Done job. Dhritiman Chatterjee, a Bengali actor, in a small but a strong role, done his job to remain in our minds as we remember about the movie. Surja Bala Hijam and Ena Saha done their job up to the mark, there are still a part of amateur-ism we can sense in them.There are some loopholes in the screenplay and story, some untold questions rise when we see the end credits coming. Like What happens to the Shyam's Killer whom Suni meets in an accident? What happens to Suni's love? and such few questions rises.There are some inspirational messages to youth regarding family, love and life. This movie is not for the masses or families seeking entertainment with Masala. Its strictly for new generation youths and especially for those who love to roam and go on long trips.On the whole its a visually beautifully captured art in celluloid trying to tell a Romantic Tale, with lots of inspirational messages. Its must watch for young couples and Road Trip lovers.Go and experience this Lovely ride Under the Blue Sky, By the side of Green Sea, On the Red land.Check my more reviews at my blog http://secondclassmatinee.wordpress.com/
