PG--AN ACADEMIC FILM WITHOUT AN EXPERIMENTAL SCRIPT
PHOTOGRAPHER--AN ACADEMIC EXPERIENCE WITHOUT AN EXPERIMENTAL SCRIPT!!!
TODAY I WENT TO SEE PG WITH LEAST EXPECTATIONS,HERE IN KOTTAYAM,ASHA!!FRANKLY SAYING THERE WERE NOT EVEN 50 PEOPLE IN THE THEATER!!THAT MAY BE DUE TO THE BUS STRIKE AND ALL...BUT STRANGE TO SEE A LAL FILM AT ITS 6TH DAY WITH A CROUD BELOW 50 IN TOTAL!!EVEN PV WAS GETTING 50+% COLLECTION!!NOT EVEN A SINGLE FAMILY WHICH IS VERY MUCH STRANGE!! CLASSMATES IS CONTINUEING ITS FINE SHOW EVEN AT ITS 60TH DAY HERE IN KOTTAYAM!!I WENT ALONE AS I FELT GOING ALONE IS THE RIGHT THING FOR MOVIES LIKE PG!!
NOW TALKING ABOUT THE FILM PHOTOGRAPHER IS AN ACADEMIC EXPERIENCE BUT WITHOUT AN EXPERIMENTAL SCRIPT!!I FELT IT LIKE AN ACADEMIC ARTISTIC CREATION LOOSELY BASED ON A BASELESS SCRIPT!PG IS MORE ACADEMIC THAN COMMERCIAL AT ANY SENSE!!APPROVAL FROM AUDIENCE FOR THESE KINDS OF SUBJECTS IS VERY HARD TO GET!!THE STORY LINE IS SO THIN AND RANJAN TRIES TO BRING UP SO MANY FAMILY AS WELL AS SOCIAL ISSUES INTO THIS THIN THREAD AND ITS CONFUSING!!THE MOVIE STARTED WELL AND ENDED WITHOUT ANY SOLUTION(OR WITHOUT ANY CLIMAX)!!
THE STORY EVOLVES AROUND DIJO JOHN A WILD LIFE PHOTOGRAPHER,HIS RELATION WITH THAMI,AN TRIBAL BOY WHO BECOMES AN ORPHAN DUE TO THE CRUEL DEEDS OF THE POLICE!!DIJO TRIES TO OFFEND ALL THESE CRUELTIES TO THE MUTHANGA TRIBALS BUT THE MINISTRY ALSO LETS HIM DOWN!!DIJO FINALLY GETS TRAPPED IN THE FOREST AND THE SCENES ARE THRILLING THOUGH UNNECESSARY FOR THE MOVIE!!THE MOVIE HAS A FAMILY BACKGROUND TOO WHICH WAS WELL EXCECUTED!!INFACT THERE IS A STAGE THAT ONE WOULD THINK LIKE THE MOVIE IS TURNING OUT TO BE A GOOD FAMILY SUBJECT!!THE SLOW PACE OF THE MOVIE CONTINUES TILL THE END!!
MEANWHILE LAL LOOKED GREAT AS DIJO JOHN AND HIS DUEL CHARECTORS ARE SIMPLY PERFORMED WITH PERFECTION!ALL THE ARTISTS PERFORMED FAIRLY WELL INCLUDING THE 2 HEROINES!THE 3 SONGS ARE FAIR AND MELODIOUS BUT NOT UPTO THE MARK OF OLD JOHNSON!THE PICTURISATION AND CAMERA WORK BY AZHAGAPPAN IS SIMPLY FANTASTIC!!EXPECIALLY THE SCENES IN THE JUINGLE,HE SHOT MASTERFULLY!!!BUT THE FILM LACKED CLARITY..DONT KNOW WHY??THERE IS ONLY ONE FIGHT IN THE MOVIE...LALS JOY CHARECTOR IS A NICE TREAT FOR THE AUDIENCE!!
AS A ROUND UP PHOTOGRAPHER IS MORE AN ACADEMIC MOVIE WITH LEAST COMMERCIAL FACTORS!THE SCRIPT IS NOT UP TO THE MARK AND IS OF A SLOW PACE...ORU MANIKKOU KONDU PARAYENDA KAARYANGAL ORU DOCUMENTERY STYLIL 2.30 MANIKKOOR NEETTY...........AND THATS PHOTOGRAPHER..THE FILM LEAVES A CONFUSING MIND IN VIEWERS WHEN IT ENDS..ALTHOUGH ITS A VERY LOW COST MOVIE I DONT THINK IT WILL BE A SUCCESS AS IT HAD FELL AT ITS 2ND DAY ITSELF...BUT FAMILY AUDIENCE ARE THE ONL HOPE FOR HAVULY POTTOOR BUT AT THE TIME IT DOESNT SEEMS TO BE GOOD FOR HIM!!HE IS NOT TRYING TO ATTRACT THE FAMILIES TO THE THEATERS...AND THE RESULT MAY BE A FLOP!!
