Getting inspired from Jagathy Sreekumar sir's own song "Pistah Suma Kira" (1983), the young NERAM team rearranged the song and relaunched !! The new song became super hit among the young audience !! The movie has not been released yet. Neram Stars the "Yuvva Album" pair: Nivin Pauly and Nazria Nazim !!
Amen is as said is really a "Divine Comedy" !! After watching the movie, just like everyone else, I had an "Amen Hangover" for two-three days.
The movie was so brilliant !! DIRECTION and CINEMATOGRAPHY- it was new experience !! They tried out several new shots in different angles and styles. The lengthy shots were the best part of the movie. The movie also had a song that was taken in just a single shot.
When it comes to acting, all the actors did a wonderful job !! Fahad was spectacular as usual. Amen helped Fahad to recover his lose from the previous movie. Swati Reddy's had a dream debut in malayalam. Kalabhavan Mani, Kulapulli Leela etc etc was also nice. The smiles in the movie also became popular. See the Smiley Trailer below:
The location designing was artistic and sweet. Costumes adds up a divinity to the movie. Makeup works were good.
Songs are lovely, especially "Ee Solamanum Shoshannayum" !!
Really have to appreciate each and everyone who worked behind the movie under the artistic captain Lijo Jose Pellissery.
Anyway Celluloid is a pure classic movie. Really deserves many awards. Direction is classic and we could see a Kamal touch every where in the movie. Scripting is also neat. The language used in dialogs boost up the quality of the movie. Acting is so brilliant. Every one did there part well. Prithviraj Sukumaran as J.C.Danial was perfect. No doubt why he got the state award for the best actor. Songs are also pretty neat and efficient !!
We must also appreciate the effort behind making the set and location for the movie. They did a wonderful job in making the evergreen places like Capitol Theater, J.C.Danial's studio etc !! All in all, after you watch the movie, you will feel like a part of the great Malayalam Movie industry !!
Special Appreciation: Pattanam Rasheeed for his wonderful makeup works. Making up Prithviraj in almost five ways (young J.C.Danial, Middle Aged J.C.Danial, Old J.C.Danial, J.C.Danial on death bed, Harris Danial).
