Excellent review, wonderful choice of words, great pronunciation ,so welcome, after listening to the substandard drone of other reviewers. Brings to mind, late Amita Malik's, former crisp film reviews columns . Thank you
People who know Hindi can pronounce Malayalam words better if they read it in Hindi. For eg, the accurate pronunciation for "Thondimuthalum Drikshaakshiyum" is तोंडिमुदलुम दृक्साक्षियुम . Of course this depends on the one writing in Hindi knowing the correct pronunciation.
Because they were in a territory where they were getting a lot of flak.So they started exploring movies beyond their world.Malayalam movies were always good quality.
Unnimaya deserves a huge round of applause for this. I started noticing Unnimaya after her role in Parava as a class teacher and in Mayanadhi as casting director. Astonishing natural performance.
Spoiler alert! . The last scene, when joji refused to blink and admit his crime!! If we look close, we can see him opening his eyes a little more wider, affirming his strong denial. This scene portrays his firm stand, even in coma state. This scene gave me chills, literal chills 🥶🥶🔥🔥
When Bincy scrolls through facebook we see an ad for a fertility clinic. This gives us a bit of backstory and also shows us how companies like facebook shamelessly violate our privacy.
That’s amazing observation. When Jaison pleads with the father for money to pay off the Palai flat, he mentions it’s in “a convenient location to the clinic”. I was wondering if Bincy was undergoing fertility treatment but could not find any other mention of it in the movie. Your observation of the FB ad confirms it!!
So glad to see Malayalam cinema getting it's well deserved credit which was long overdue.. and kudos to Anupama for attempting to speak the difficult malayalam words 😊
Feeling bad...Even though she appreciate the film , she misconceptioned many things...I think that even with subtitle non malayalis can't understand malayalam movie 100%
How bad? Google translate > Subtitle of joji.. That bad. He did not say '3rd rate' as given in the subtitles.. it was something much worse with a subtle tone. Recently malayalam movies have good subtitles. Idk what happened with this one.
Sreenivasan during 90s and fahad fasil, at present are two assets of malayalam industry, whom we can't think of anybody else in many characters they have played.
@@jagannathanmenon3708 Sreenivasan average?? Lol. You're crazy then. He has given some of the most nuanced performances on screen. Fahad is just growing up as a versatile actor. He has to go more.
@@thesolitaryman2498 Sreenivasan was a phenomenal writer and even more special director, though he has only directed 2 movies. But in terms of acting, while he is good, there is nothing extraordinary there. I don't think his name will come up even in a top 10 actors of all time discussion. Fafa, IMO, is right up there among the 2Ms, Gopi, Thilakan and the like in terms of being the best actors ever in Malayalam cinema. We should also add female performers like Urvashi, Shobhana, KPAC Lalitha, Sukumari etc to that list
@@javedmkadir I've always felt Sreenivasan as an under utilized actor in the Malayalam film industry. I think he got stereotyped in doing a lot of comedy roles in movies but in reality, he has a lot of range and potential. (See his acting in Kalapani). It doesn't always have to be "extraordinary" in such a way that it will become "overacting". Sreenivasan's acting is more of a natural tone than Fahad, who is into more of "method acting". I think it's because, these actors were able to perform during the Golden Age of Malayalam Cinema and so, their acting is as natural as it can get and incorporated a classical style of acting. In those days, almost every actor gave exceptional performances. If you check out older movies, the whole cast would be a brilliant one (That magic is missing nowadays). And many times, I feel Fahad is also being stereotyped into doing lot of eccentric characters and those characters with a psycho angle to it. ( North 24 Kaatham, Carbon, Kumbalangi Nights, Trance). Now coming to actors like 2Ms, Thilakan, Bharat Gopi, Sathyan, etc, they are simply a different league and one shouldn't even compare them to younger actors. That is like comparing Joaquin Phoenix to legendary actors like Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Dustin Hoffman, Jack Nicholson. The female performers are also a different league and have given some of most nuanced performances on screen.
@@thesolitaryman2498 Agree mostly and I will never underestimate Sreenivasan acting. However the actors you also say are in a different league, I don't think Sreenivasan was ever considered in that league in any serious way. I am not saying Fafa is in that league yet ( TBF, his career is relatively new). But I do think he will reach that league sooner or later. His trajectory has been amazing and he is already counted as one of the, if not the best young actor in India. I think he is smart enough in his cinematic choices to avoid being stereo typed and very soon we will see him counted among the best actors of all time in India.
Justin Vargheese....he has done a brilliant job...especially the scene where joji first exchanges the tablet box...the music stops and silently grows...makes the scene real and eyes roll and heart beats that Kuttappan shud not turn back and see.....music has painted the dark color to this film and travels like an equilibrium between the audience and the scene.
Most thrilling movie.. "Dead never return, beware of those who Alive!!" Bincy instruct him what to do, without actually saying nothing.. what a screenplay!!

That was a very comprehensive analysis. And, it was very nice of you to show the technicians whose contribution is as invaluable as that of the actors in producing this gem.
While this is the jist of the movie , I think the nuances and the more subtle intricacies of the entire film cannot be totally understood through the sub titles .A classic case of ' lost in translation '.
We all can agree Fahaad is numero uno in India. His current form and character roles reminds me of deniro and pacino from the 70s, is Fahaad as good as them or better? Don't know but he sure has plenty of time to prove
Inadequate subtitles ruin the flavour for non-malayalis. Need to get a professional translator like they do for literary works (somebody like J Devika who did it for s hareesh's meesha is ideal)
Indian cinema expanded after OTT. the content has quality and wide. Covering Different countries,region and cultures. Covering different genres. And we are slowly getting rid of "old school" bollywood which hardly has any content. N is ruled by clans. It's the Decline of bollywood as independent directors and actors are giving big competition now.
What an amazing performance by Baburaj as Jomon and Joji Mundakkayam as Jaison. Quite loved the movie, and on second watch offers more details, specially better perspective on the dialogues.
Still Malayalam industry nvr gets credit While saying south industry others will ignore Malayalam and will say like Telugu,Tamil,Kannada It's like Bollywood ignoring ssr
What has SSR got to do with this? Even I am a fan of SSR but these kind of toxic comments does more harm to his name than good. Stop with this nonsense now. Let him be remembered nicely, not like this.
I think the movie is good, but a notch below Dileesh's previous movies. I think tbe focus was a lot on the plot, not much on the inner struggles of the charecter doing the crime. That I suppose is also why Shakespeare's work is still so phenomenal to read today. It is not just the plot, it is the chatrecters guilt, greed and paranoia.
Oh my god.. this movie is awesome. Waited to watch this review after watching the movie. Had been waiting to watch Fahad in action. Now am gonna visit all his earlier movies.
There is no space for song in this movie a dark bgm is all needed, look Mr Pothan's first and second film they were too good with beautiful songs in it
Anupama Chopra might not understand the quality of Malayalam Cinema and what is real acting. She is too fond of class movies directed and produced by Karan Johar. She is just a bullywood Puppet.
Others ; Fahad is great and on another level deserves national award etc etc . Malayalees ; he is repeating the characters. That's malayali audience for you ! 😂
his character in joji is different and if u observe his acting he did great but many think he did same acting whihc is not truu they dont have sense to understand that he did different acting
Thanks to the movie team for bringing issues like passive-aggressive behavior and personality disorders into popular conversation...🙏 Regarding the reviewer comment that the house seems shorn of warmth.. Let me just add... Most homes in the south are minimalist and stark in decor...so may be...there is no messaging there... 🤔
NB: The two 'J's of JOJI represents the Fishing Hooks, (means Two Victims).. the '0' symbolises the Tablet💊 (The Action), the capital 'I' with a scar on the top shows a Man shot in his Head(The Result).
There are different layers to each character than you mentioned. The movie tells many stories at a time. It's quite refreshing to see the style of filmmaking that Dileesh Pothan is following. Kudos to him & whole unit of Joji
No he didn't call him "Second rate loser" what he said in Malayalam was " you born out of blunt rubber sap (ottupalinu undaayavane)...the subtitles were not apt for this movie
Baburaj's performance was excellent. Sometimes even better than Fahad. I feel like this may be because we are always used of seeing excellent performance from Fahad.
actually, joji is an interpretation of Dileesh, not to aspire to become the greatMaqbool, where Tabu literally eats all other characters with her domineering act and expressions.

Cinema is the only good thing about kerala
@@utkarshsinghrathore4424 haha what do u know about Kerala , treasure hidden in the wild . Beautiful places is the main attraction of Kerala and the water bodies the lowest place in India , Kuttanad , wilderness the flora and fauna , Cricket Football and many more ... Infact Malayalam movies are one among the good things in Kerala 🙏 avoid bad politics and some toxic people which is common in all parts of India
He should be awarded National treasure award for trance, JoJI
@@joelmiller01 agreed
@sai srinivas fahad did better acting than suriya but yeah he will loose because of trance theme
Surem..
@@GopalKumar-bj3di Suriya did great acting i agree but faahd acting better in it becasue he had to play a character many layered in that film and his dialogue delivery,acting and body language was perfect when his characetr evolves.and btw MALLUS are the only people who appreciate other industry works and films in old age itself. you guys started appreciating now only right whereas we mallus started appreciaitng from old days itself.and ik u are hater of fahad because i seen u many places making fun of him.Ik u dont know what is acting and stuff and i also know iam wasting my time replying u.btw do u know the indian critics told fahad is best actor in current generation even telugu and hindi actors considered him as like that but u wont understand because u dont know what is acting
@@sigmaassociates2005 you malls always wrong Fahad always does same acting in his movies no difference he only knew how to smile,eye rotating other than that he knew how to overact even dq is far better than him
Allu Arjun going to shake Fahad in puspha better
Sukumar should take care of Fahad
Fahad bad actor he lossed national award for kumbalangi over Vijay sethupathi in super deluxe
He gonna lose national award for trance over Surya in sorrai pottru
He again gonna lose national award for joji over danush in karnan
Those proves that he is really best actor in India now right😂🤣😁🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
He is failure actor he don't deserve any award because he is done bad performance he is very lucky he deserved for garbage performance for thondimuthalum comedy piece one of the worst actor ever😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣
Baburaj and Basil Joseph combo...best !
Masterpiece 🔥❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 powerful
That was a very comprehensive analysis. And, it was very nice of you to show the technicians whose contribution is as invaluable as that of the actors in producing this gem.
While this is the jist of the movie , I think the nuances and the more subtle intricacies of the entire film cannot be totally understood through the sub titles .A classic case of ' lost in translation '.
We all can agree Fahaad is numero uno in India. His current form and character roles reminds me of deniro and pacino from the 70s, is Fahaad as good as them or better? Don't know but he sure has plenty of time to prove
Now a days regional movies reviews also coming pan india it is a good sign for Malayalam movies breaking the language barriers
Movies reflects the intellectual level of the respective communities. This movie cannot remake in its perfection in another language.
😎
Inadequate subtitles ruin the flavour for non-malayalis. Need to get a professional translator like they do for literary works (somebody like J Devika who did it for s hareesh's meesha is ideal)
Malayalam are right now being taken to greater heights. 👍
FYI : Chekov's gun refers to anything that is shown in the first part of a movie..need not be a gun always..
But in this case it was really a gun
Chekovs Gun refers to if you show a gun in the beginning of your play it needs to be used somehow in your story'
Indian cinema expanded after OTT. the content has quality and wide. Covering Different countries,region and cultures. Covering different genres. And we are slowly getting rid of "old school" bollywood which hardly has any content. N is ruled by clans. It's the Decline of bollywood as independent directors and actors are giving big competition now.
He is an extremely talented actor
Only Here for Anupama:-)
Love You ♥️
Perfectly Analysed. Dileesh Pothan in fine form
What an amazing performance by Baburaj as Jomon and Joji Mundakkayam as Jaison. Quite loved the movie, and on second watch offers more details, specially better perspective on the dialogues.
Pothettans brilliance ❤️
❤️ Fahad , from Coochbehar, WestBengal
1:23 That's Me. 😶
Still Malayalam industry nvr gets credit
While saying south industry others will ignore Malayalam and will say like Telugu,Tamil,Kannada
It's like Bollywood ignoring ssr
It's changing now bro. Malayalam getting so much appreciation now.
Dude why r u bringing that SSR here???so irritating
What has SSR got to do with this? Even I am a fan of SSR but these kind of toxic comments does more harm to his name than good.
Stop with this nonsense now. Let him be remembered nicely, not like this.
Actually Malayalam industry is more famous than Kannada
@@rahulkrishna1657 ഇതിലിപ്പോ എന്താ ഇത്ര പൊട്ടതരം, പുള്ളി പറഞ്ഞത് അക്ഷരം പ്രതി സത്യമല്ലേ
Not one bad word about the movie. She definitely loved it. From bincy to jomon everyone so perfect!
From personal failures there are many places to go further from discontent and revengeful to murderous
I think the movie is good, but a notch below Dileesh's previous movies. I think tbe focus was a lot on the plot, not much on the inner struggles of the charecter doing the crime. That I suppose is also why Shakespeare's work is still so phenomenal to read today. It is not just the plot, it is the chatrecters guilt, greed and paranoia.
Oh my god.. this movie is awesome. Waited to watch this review after watching the movie. Had been waiting to watch Fahad in action. Now am gonna visit all his earlier movies.
a simple masterpiece ❤️💯
Didn’t talk about making. Just narrated story .
She has no choice but say about these amazing works in Malayalam industry. She is fed up of manipulate review for bollywood star kids.. Good
Its annoying to see such posts in comment section comparing any good south indian movie to bollywood.
@@dvind367 But it's more annoying to see bollywood industry itself full of just manipulation and copying and nudity.
And ofcourse zero creativity
Although Fahad was the hero of the film 'Joji' Baburaj stole the show
Review "Kaliyattam" acted suresh gopi. It is one of best adaptation of Shakespeare's Othello.
"There are no songs"... Ma'am world has moved miles ahead of bollywood.. Please wake up!!
There is no space for song in this movie a dark bgm is all needed, look Mr Pothan's first and second film they were too good with beautiful songs in it
Everyone is talking joji is an adaptation of macbeth, I think its an inspiration of macbeth
Anupama Chopra might not understand the quality of Malayalam Cinema and what is real acting. She is too fond of class movies directed and produced by Karan Johar. She is just a bullywood Puppet.
Fahad acting 🔥nice review
Here for the review but thanks for the story and Fahad's other movies story. Thanks again.
Hats to you, for the reviews, with the exactness of how the movie is..! Thank you Anupama Chopraji..!
Others ; Fahad is great and on another level deserves national award etc etc .
Malayalees ; he is repeating the characters.
That's malayali audience for you ! 😂
That provides him more space to improve.
his character in joji is different and if u observe his acting he did great but many think he did same acting whihc is not truu they dont have sense to understand that he did different acting
Thanks to the movie team for bringing issues like passive-aggressive behavior and personality disorders into popular conversation...🙏 Regarding the reviewer comment that the house seems shorn of warmth.. Let me just add... Most homes in the south are minimalist and stark in decor...so may be...there is no messaging there... 🤔
NB: The two 'J's of JOJI represents the Fishing Hooks, (means Two Victims).. the '0' symbolises the Tablet💊 (The Action), the capital 'I' with a scar on the top shows a Man shot in his Head(The Result).
Baburaj was simply outstanding in the movie. " My consciousness is my manual" is one big statement against all religious fanatics.
Conscience
I love your reviews and the way you speak ma'am even if I don't agree sometimes 🥰
There are different layers to each character than you mentioned. The movie tells many stories at a time. It's quite refreshing to see the style of filmmaking that Dileesh Pothan is following. Kudos to him & whole unit of Joji
Is this review reuploaded with more details ? Or am I experiencing a Deja vu ? 🤨
Pothettan Brilliance
I don't understand properly, did Anupama admire the film or snubing?
How about the frames😍
well, joji is an inspiration from macbeth and not an adaptation. so dont expect everyhting should be same as the original one
No he didn't call him "Second rate loser" what he said in Malayalam was " you born out of blunt rubber sap (ottupalinu undaayavane)...the subtitles were not apt for this movie
Fahad has best eyes intensity among Malayalam Hero Actors...Eyes intensity , I think is his greatest strength and his greatest weakness....
Baburaj's performance was excellent. Sometimes even better than Fahad. I feel like this may be because we are always used of seeing excellent performance from Fahad.
@sai srinivas stilli loved baburaj more than fahad
It's another brilliant movie from malayalam film industry...
It is great work and Fahad did outstanding performance.Baburaj acting was excellent. The script and direction marvelous 👏👏👏👏👍
Very well said.. its performance within the performance.. Fahad is superb 😍
Very precise review. The movie is a must watch. Thanks!
Sorry, I didn't like the review. I loved the film though a lot.
Stop nepotism in Bollywood .learn a lesson from malayalam movie there is no nepotism
Joji is simply a masterpice.😍
Such an International film.
you noticed his layers of smoking areas 1) on the bank of stream 2) on the bounty of house 3) inside the kitchen he lighting the cigarette.
These are hidden messages about his motives.
Fahadh ishtam💓
What a movie. It will stand with you once the film is done
Superb review 👍
Unnimaya, wife of syam pushkaran the writer
Malayalam movies don't disappoint us.. ✌.... Fafa.. 💛🤟
Its another version of 1985 malayalam movie irakal...plz do watch that too👍👍
actually, joji is an interpretation of Dileesh, not to aspire to become the greatMaqbool, where Tabu literally eats all other characters with her domineering act and expressions.
Its a loose adaption. Not character by character mapping. This film has emotions mapped though
