22 Female kottyam:Bold and Brutal

My expectations for this film was because of none other than Aashiq Abu who made a dood debut with Daddy cool and improved a lot in Salt and pepper.And my expectations were fully satisfied when I came out of the theatre today after watching this movie.Hats off to him for making a film based on this theme particularly on a vacation time along with so called entertainers and making this one worth the money of the ticket.Looking forward to his next film.

This is not a regular malayalam film with 2-3 songs,fights and silly comedies.Its a serious Thriller based on relevant social issues.This is the story of a 22 year old Kottayam girl Tessa who is working as nurse in Bangalore.Things take a turn when she meet Cyril,A visa agent and both of them fall in love and what follows is a drastic change in the lives of Tessa as she encounters the worst part in her life.I am not going more into the story but I assure that this one is worth watching for its neat direction,Brilliant performances and a superb climax.

Rima steals the Show as Tessa.Brillaint performance.Liked her after Ritu.She carries the movie on her shoulders from the first scene onwards.Fahad also did well as Cyril,though not brilliant,A good performance.He is one to look out for.Prathap Pothan as Fahad's boss and Sathar portrayes their roles with ease.Others did their part well.The Song and BGM is nice.

The 1st Half ends quite unexpectedly and the 2nd half is somewhat slow in the middle but gets over it and ends with a great climax which may be disturbing to some viewers.The film is not your regular cup of tea.It leaves you with an impression after the movie gets over. Comic scenes are there but few.It provides some laughs but after that the film becomes serious.I found the climax portions somewhat lengthy though.Dialogues are also good.

The movie draws inspiration from Bollywood movie Ek hasina thi but i guess its not a problem since most of the malayalam films are copies nowadays.New Sibi-Udayan films are copies or mixtures of their own scripts from previous movies.Whether or not its a copy,The movie should be good and it succeeds in that.

I am not telling that its a masterpiece.But its certainly a refreshing one.Its not a family entertainer that families prefer these days.So no idea about its Box office verdict.Audience liked the movie i guess,it was evident from the huge claps after the film got over.Suprisngly,rush was there and the theatre was almost housefull.Audience are finally getting some sense and starting to accept these new kinds of movies.

Grab your tickets now for this venture.Its worth it.Thumbs up for 22 FK team!!
