Lavender Review
Helmed by Altas T Ali and produced by Jimmy Mathew, Sanath Welgate, Biju Rawthar and Betty (The Council Films); the film witnesses the rise of some upcoming talents working behind the camera.
Ayaan (Rahman) is a Bangkok based gangster; who is one of the top listed city gangsters in Interpol’s most wanted criminals.
Lavender Review
For capturing him; a team with Raghavan Moorthy (Anoop Menon) in charge is assigned by the Interpol; leading to a war between the duo.
The film also deals with a well executed; beautifully portrayed love story; where Ayaan is deeply in love to a girl, Isha (Elham Mirza); without her knowledge.
Rahman, the one who is enjoying his comeback in film industry; just stole the audience heart with a mobster; who posses the love towards Isha as the weakness. Rather than a regular ganster guy, he is a man with emotions inside.
Lavender Review
On the other hand, the elegant Iranian beauty; Elham Mirza proved to be worthy to cast in the movie; as she was able to deliver the character Isha, piercing into the hearts of audience.
Proved actors like Nishan, Govind Padmasoorya, Anoop Menon, Aju Varghese, Thalaivasal Vijay, Kalpana, etc has done justice to their respective roles.
Lavender Review
Altas T Ali; the one who handled the role of director and scenarist; was able to execute a good story with technical perfection; not delivering the feel of a debutante’s venture. The brilliance of the director and the awesome work by the cameraman shaped the movie to meet in international standards.
Cinematographer Binendra Menon was too excellent, as the camera work stands as a great aspect in the movie. Perfect, as well as stylish visuals were one of the many attractive features in the film. Editing by Renjith Touchriver was also standard.
Rafeeq Ahammed, the lyricist and Deepak Dev, the musician; has done their part well, with some heart catching songs and perfect BGM’s. The film ensures the pleasant feeling of live music; not seen much in Malayalam movies, which creates a great space in the minds of listeners.
Lavender Review
Lavender also delivers an unseen Bangkok to M-Town. Without sticking to the outer shell itself; the film captures a much clear Bangkok visuals; capturing the beauty of it in silver screen.
In short Lavender stands as a good film by a group of upcoming talents; which shows that Hollywood making style can be moulded to make a M-Town movie.
Rating : 3.5/5
