Neram (2013)


Director: Alphonse Putharen
Writer:    Alphonse Putharen
Cast:       Nivin Pauly, Nazriya Nazim, Shammi Thilakan
Language:Malayalam


Neram is comedy film which marks the directorial debut for Alphonse Putheran. It is solid debut along the lines of Guy Ricthie-Matthew Vaughn films like 'Snatch' and 'Lock, 'Stock and Two Smoking Barrels'. The film starts with the Quentin Tarantino quote, 'I steal from every single movie ever made'. It never takes itself too seriously and is well shot and stylishly edited. Songs are used well to move the story forward rather than to fill the quota. Should be viewed in the cinemas. Trailer is superb too but I am glad I didn't watch it before seeing the film.

The film will be released in Tamil as well. I don't know how different it will be in Tamil, but the malayalam film is not watered down at all with compromises like it is usually the case when films are shot simultaneously to be released in different languages.

Rating: 4/5
