Geethanjali (2013)

Simply Perfect

Powerful

Admirable film.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Dear Priyan Sir,With all due respect,When you want to take an investigation movie, why do you lent some one else's Doctor Sunny Joseph? I would have rather taken one of your own police heroes (May be Unnikrishnan from Vandanam)? Doctor Sunny Joseph is here to treat patients, not to investigate some one else's murder.Also when you want the heroine to perform so much expressions, don't you think you should put a bit more effort in choosing a right lady for the role? Did you forget a process called 'Sceen Test'?I gave rating 2. One point for Mohanalal's screen presence, and one for the doore doore song. Rest all is ridiculously bad.....

What can you expect from a man who made his life by shamelessly plagiarizing other's works? He tried almost every form of copying from foreign movies to Malayalam, Malayalam to Tamil, Tamil to Hindi, Malayalam to Hindi and now he tried a new thing; Malayalam to Malayalam. Yes you read it right; he took the story from Nadiya Kollappetta Rathri (2007) and replaced the cop with doctor, Sunny Joseph Manichithrathazhu (1993) in it. Yes, Geethanjali is ready!Geethanjali is so lazily made that you would wonder how a legendary actor like Mohanlal could even think of accept such a role to make a come back of Dr. Sunny? The visuals, other performances and the music are pretty ordinary as well.Overall, it's just an another cluttered film that bites the dust. Miss.

Dear Priyadarshan, I really felt for the actors - legends like Mohanlal and Innocent and even solid character actors like Ganesh Kumar and Siddique. This is the kind of movie that belongs in the dark ages of Malayalam cinema, when dialogs used to be written on the sets. Innocent tries desperately to evoke laughter in the films blatantly obvious comic track. Lalettan's role is the kind which he could perform in his sleep and he does sleepwalk through it.The story itself was pretty interesting (though i heard it was copied from a Thai film). Some of the thrills are alright. But the awful comedy track and the ridiculously placed songs make this one tough to watch.I guess this is the end of the Dr.Sunny Joseph franchise. At least for a while. Best Regards, Pimpin.(3/10)

Priyadarshan gifts his audience with a horror flick which is neither horrifying nor entertaining..! I can't even count how many horror flicks has been watched in my life.The expectation was touching the apex because of returning of Dr.Sunny well remembered through the classic Manichitrathazhu.Unfortunately this movie make no impact on me except bad impression about the writers.The movie has been adapted a lot from the Thai Horror flick Alone and "Nadiya kollappetta rathri(The Night Nadiya Was Murdered).The movie begins with introduction of a young happy couple, Anoop (Nishan Naniah) and Anjali (Keerthy Menaka), working in Mumbai, who are deeply in love and are about to get engaged.The movie tells the problem faced by them in an haunted house in Kerala.Its only an average flick and adapted from many other movies.Watch for doctor sunny and Nakulan(suresh gopi) In a beautiful cameo.Can i watch with family:Yes
