MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Arun M R Memories are developed for accurate logic and intelligence. No bottom, punch dialogless, no old cinema noises in front of the computer. Sam Alex and the audience are traveling with. The camera is sleeping with the long and aerial shots. Prithviraj has been able to transform his role as a Rough and Tough Police officer, as his husband, father, and as a broken son. We can say that the heroine has a name. A two-and-a-half hour slide down.

Vibijithnair Jeethu 4th directional venture is good one indeed.Memories shows the haunting memory of both protagonist & antagonist and how they seek revenge to overpower their haunting past. When protagonist take revenge on himself by going through series of alcoholism whereas villain takes revenge by killing one by one who is responsible for his condition.1st half is more of a family drama until Sam(Prithvi) takes up the case & after we can see that he make some breakthrough and soon he finds that person is a serial killer. Later forms the crux of the story. 2nd half is more of a thriller which leads to well executed climax. I 'm not claiming it to be the best thriller in recent past but it engage the viewer.+ve: Prithviraj. cinematography(especially night chase). 2nd half. BGM-ve: songs were avg.(i felt). Many loophole like how the killer tracks down his enemy & hang them despite of his limp;were not shown.I'm not saying its a flawless thriller but it arrest the viewer. Verdict: Watchable.

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.
