Thanmatra

Thanmatra (Molecule).

Thanmatra is the film that has the potential to liberate the Malayalam film audience from the abyss they are put in by the mediocre or rather substandard film makers who create some craps which they call themselves as commercials .To be liberated or not is purely the audience choice and the coming weeks will answer it.
The film title puts it all. “Molecule”, is something which clings on to another molecule, which sans an existence by its own. So its nothing ,but pure love . In the film we can see many molecules who cling on to one another out of love. Rameshan’s father (Nedumudi Venu) clings on to his son .Rameshan in turn clings on to his family and his son to Rameshan, and that’s the film all about. The final message the film conveys is that even a strange villain like Alzheimer’s can never break the molecular bond formed out of love. This film underlines the fact that a movie is the directors art. The greatest strength of the movie is its story and the way it is executed. How well the script is done and how well each character is etched out can be known from the fact that the even the dialogue of the unnamed character who carries the goods while Rameshan shifts to his ancestral home remains in our memory when we recall the film .All the artistes were terrific in their roles. The word to the director is the dialogue of his own character in this film- ”Payya thinnal panayum thinnam…ennu vechu pana angu thinnu kalanjekkam ennalla” .
Let Thanmaatra reinvent the magic of mid 80’s into the Malayalam film industry and let us all hope to see more of this genre of films .
