Kathaparayumbol(2007)

Pranam

Kathaparayumbol
(2007)
Srinivasan, Mammooty, Meena
my rating 7/10

I liked this malayalam film very much, its a masterpiece of this decade. Sreenivasan is nothing short of a genius. Excellent screen play, script and a great story, till the end its a free flow.
Sreenivasan played the role of a hardworking and financially poor barber, who is trying make his ends meet. This simple person turns out to be a real life hero, much to surprise of the villagers who had earlier made fun of him. The speech given by Mammooty at the school annual function is one of its kind and very impressive.

Sreenivasan has the knack of bringing out subtle human feelings to the fore and every film has a moral in real life. His films are sometimes true reflections of a common man and its very effective.
I value 'Kathaparayumbol' much more than any Oscar award winning film. Got a good taste of Malayalam by watching this. Unsure how billoo barber, a copy of this film in Urdu would be, but nothing beats Srinivasan.
