Manthast Absolutely amazing

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

mayanair-18245 This is not a great movie. I can't even say that it's got its moments because it doesn't. I've felt this about Jeethu Joseph movies that the first half is more often than not a terrible drag. But it is forgivable in movies like Drishyam where the first part is used to strongly establish the lead character and the plot. It is also a pleasure when the movie takes a sudden turn from being nothing into a deep and dark thriller that makes you hold your breath till the very end. But Memories does not do that. It is clichéd and boring. Prithviraj tries to pull off the role of an efficient police officer who has been salvaged from his wrecked life by a senior officer who assigns him an intriguing case. The whole attempt to garner sympathy for the lead role who is trying to drink himself to death falls so flat on its face that the viewer is left a bit annoyed at the depressed protagonist. Prithviraj who usually does police officer roles with finesse (Ah, Mumbai Police!) is not believable as an irresponsible drunkard who can magically turn himself into a Sherlock Holmes-esque investigator with almost super human instincts and intelligence. After sitting through what seems like hours of the actor alternating between being an irresponsible brat and a brilliant policeman, the killer is revealed to be an absolute nobody - but oh, not without the abused clichés of a dark past and a physical handicap. Now the movie has to fill its viewers up on why he is an absolute psychopath. More characters and plot points are introduced and the end is a desperate attempt to sew all these up in one sensible piece without the viewer going crazy. The only take-away from the movies is the skill of shooting someone in a gasoline-filled room without blowing oneself up. Just watch that scene, skip the rest.

Anup Viswanathan Thampi I had not seen this movie till DVD reached the stores. I saw this movie because all were hailing this is absolutely new theme and not copied from any movie. I loved the opening sequence and the theme music superbly done and executed , the frames had similarity to some PC games but well executed. The movie also starts exceptionally good. Prithviraj did justice to the character but the role of Mia was not actually required at all. I could easily predict the climax as it was associated to women and their husbands, wherein Sam Alex's brother's marriage or the fiancée is not shown at all. The hangings and execution were almost similar to Angels and Demons where the public hangings and message written in old language. Even the places where they are left forms a cross type format and this is also taken from Dan Brown's Angels And Demons. Except for the villain everything else is shown in such a way that we are able to co relate to the Dan Brown's novel. The Direction part is done well. I wrote this review just to bring into movie lover's notice that there are lots of INSPIRED(as they like to call now) portions from Dan Brown's Angels And Demons.

Tejas Nair If you are an avid movie aficionado, then you would realize how "Memories" loosely relates to some of the Hollywood & Bollywood mysteries. But apart from that, it was real pleasure to watch Prithviraj as the protagonist of the film, which ended quite disastrously.Jeethu Joseph is known to remake films (e.g.: My Boss). Memories is faintly like that, but if you ask me questions, I'm gonna babble. Cutting to the story, it talks about how a policeman comes out of blues to investigate serial killings. His intentions are plain as white. Vijay Raghavan & Suresh Krishna are great and together with the lead character, they manage to pull off some humor, drama, thriller & of course, suspense.The first 20 minutes is establishment period. Next 90 minutes are pure pieces of top-notch thriller, although borrowed from few classics/flops (e.g. Dhoom 2, Grand-master). As he achieves breakthrough, the killer's intentions are unfolded & that is what makes it more interesting. The melodrama involved in the climax sequence is typical Malayalam cliché and was totally unnecessary, which should mean it drags to 2 hours 20 minutes.But, alas! there is one big plot-hole about the killer on how he goes on to become what he actually is. Also, the makers fail to mention few points in the first half. Cinematography is stupendous, so are the music, songs, direction & rendering. Thank goodness there's no superhero machismo here & that further helps.BOTTOM LINE: Recommended! Just because it is a glib doesn't mean it is a bad thriller. Had the climax been justified, I'd have rated it a pure 8. But this is 6.9/10. Probably a good film of 2013.Can be watched with a typical Indian family?

jayaraj47 I can say there is something big inside it. Jeethu Joseph made it good including some special animation sequences. But some point it felt ingenuity to some actions, the first one I felt is in the action sequences. Though Good background score (Title presentation), finished thread.You must concentrate on the dialogue flow and execution. From some people felt it awkward and its better to explain details in a variety manner in terms of detailing the findings by Sam; also nobody except a superior police officer knows nothing about an investigation and Aravindakshamenon IPS seems to be an idiot as a police officer at certain points. Hope you will concentrate of the physics laws while making up the fight sequences. ;) We expect more realistic scenarios. I really likes your presentation because no super hero activities. Just tried to told the story in a perfect way and you almost succeed it.This is a good one, really good one for the Malayalam Movie industry. Keep up and all the best.
