Content-driven narratives in the Malayalam film industry are the richest facet discussed by its world audience. The filmography for the ongoing year has introduced several such projects that can be undoubtedly claimed as a profound representation of Indian Cinema.
Albeit the movies not doing good for the month, this upcoming movie might have the potential for an impact at the box office. But is it lacking something?
‘Bougainvillea’ is expected to be a kickass action thriller film directed by Amal Neerad and produced by Kunchako Boban for Udaya Pictures as well as Jyothirmayi for Amal Neerad Productions. The screenplay will be penned by Lajo Jose along with the director. Dialogues for the flick are written by RJ Murugan.
On the contrary, the screenwriter has confirmed on his social media page that the speculation of the script which is an adaptation of his own Malayalam novel ‘Ruthinte Lokam’ (Eng. The World of Ruth) is not true and the flick tells an entirely different story.
The technical labour is the pack of a brilliant team which includes Anand C Chandren as the cinematographer, Vivek Harshan overseeing the editing, along with Sushin Shyam composing the music and background scores for the flick.
The flick is expected to have a pure reference to Quentin Tarantino’s action movies as suggested by its glimpse teaser which may involve gore and gritty moments. Also, the director’s filmography is popular for bringing a trend in the blend of updated narrative as well as retrospective frames to the screen. Will this be tiresome for the audience?
Even though the presentation of actors with style and swag is the trademark of the director for what he is popular with, the lack of versatility of the maker’s filmography is a constraint for the upcoming effort.
Furthermore, the movie is expected to be a direct inspiration from Hollywood or any international flick like any other Amal Neerad movie. As today’s audience is well aware of the world cinema, this monotony can have a worse effect at the box office.
However, the performances, conception, and technical wing look promising, and it has all four clovers for its effort.
The movie features an ensemble cast of actors Kunchako Boban and Jyothirmayi in lead roles, alongside actor Fahadh Faasil, who will be playing an extended cameo. Actors Sharaf U Dheen, Veena Nandakumar, and Srinda will be playing important roles respectively.
The movie is expected on big screens on the 17th of October which will have a worldwide theatrical release.
