Movie Review - Thrissivaperoor Kliptham
Thrissivaperoor Kliptham is a zigzagging account of pretty gang warfare at Thrissur. There is far too much going on here and yet far too little that actually matters, that makes it a film that often gets muffled by its own ambition.
There is a botched attempt at crafting a Thrissur Diaries with lavish dollops of some acclaimed Lijo Jose Pellisery film that dropped all over. The pork plate that does the rounds in the initial sequence almost looks like a tribute to Lijo , as does the gift box for the groom that arrives all wrapped up. A young man by the name of Girijavallabhadasan is enamored by the valour and intrepidness that Davies and his gang mates so flamboyantly flaunt and tags along to be a part of this extraordinary experience. Comparison with the LJP films would not be fair for sure and yet since this movie has a major hangover that is so palpably apparent , it would be worthy to point out the one thing that is missing out in it that makes LJP films out and out winners an unadulterated taken on life as we know it. There is a scene that almost come across as a spoof, set in Cheru's Casino, where a man sits in wait, speaking gibberish. There are times when Aparna Balamurali's role flies way over the top and yet Aparna with a very believable performance lends Bhagya much more life than most of her male screen companions. Vinod Jose and Baburaj live it out as Davies and Joy and a huge set of actors as Asif Ali, Irshad , Ronny David and Sreejith Ravi lend ample support. There is far too much going on here and yet far too little that actually matters, that makes it a film that often gets muffled by its own ambition.
