Film maker Martin Prakkat is back with his much awaited flick Charlie. Charlie was a highly anticipated movie among the fans of dulquer and the movie lovers of Kerala equally because of the previous two offerings of the director.Dulqer's last movie was Ok kanmani which was released on april and Charlie is releasing after a gap of 8months which is a long duration in malayalam cinema.So the expectation was very high and Dulquer's massive beard became a trend setter among the youth.But Charlie is a simple, feel good romantic tale that spreads happiness every where with out having an edge off the seat twist nor much anxiety.
Dulquer appears as the title character charlie who likes travelling and enjoys life to the fullest.The script writer didn't take any effort to say about Charlie's past or childhood.He considers life as a celebration and tries to bring happiness to the people surrounding him.The female lead is Parvathy and her character Tessa is an artist based on Bangalore who has different outlook towards life.The further plot revolves with Tessa in search of Charlie who finds his character interesting.
Dulquer salmaan is just brilliant as Charlie. Dulquer had done justice to the role.He is improving as an actor in each of his movies. Parvathy looks stunning as Tessa and can be called as one of the finest actresses of her generation.Her matured acting skills is commendable. The onscreen chemistry between them in the climax scene is outstanding. Saubin shaheer is marvellous with his comic timing.
The rest of the character including Aparna Gopinath, Nedumudi venu, Kalpana, Chemban Vinod, KPAC Lalitha has done their parts with near perfection.
Martin Prakkat has done a commendable effort in coverting a light love story into a fresh movie experience.Jomon T John mesmerises everyone with his outstanding visualization. Sameera Saneesh the costume designer and art director needs a special applause.Unni R's screenplay in the latter half of the movie had some flaws and was little lagging.There was not much of an excitement in the screenplay since the pre-release hype was at its peak. But the director himself admitted not to go with much expectation on to the theaters and that's all this movie is about. But Unni R's tallent in writing exceptional dialogues was seen in parts of the movie but not as that of Big b and Munnariyippu.
The strength of the movie is the perfect characterization.
Gopi sunder's back ground score is just brilliant and one or two songs are also nice.Rest all of the songs are good to hear only in theaters.The narrative is however hobbled by too much of songs in the post intermission.
Overall Charlie is a feel good, enjoying ride if you go without much expectation and don't be highly curious about who will be in room no 66. Markin Prakkat is fully on top as the director.
Overall rating- 3/5
Its good1 mr.green
