Hridayapoorvam: A Movie Review

One of the most anticipated movies this Onam -  Hridayapurvam - led brilliantly by Mohanlal and directed by Satyanandikar. This is one movie that you can just go to the theatres with your friends and family and just feel the calm. It's just so beautiful that I am sure that when you walk out of the cinema you will have this little smile.

There is a certain sincerity that flows through the story. Kudos to the screenplay writer Sonu who has done a brilliant job. It's very simple and the beauty lies in the dialogues and in the pauses. There is something very natural about it that it almost feels like the story is happening right in front of our eyes and we are also participating in that. There are multiple characters here and everyone has an arc and a role to play. They all are brilliant. There are three star-studded cameos which takes us by surprise and lets us cheer. 

Mohanlal with his subtle eye movements and pauses and blink of eyes and smile and gestures captures the character of Sandeep Balakrishnan very beautifully. There is this sincerity in the role he plays that we feel for him and we root for him. There is actually a small storyline that passes through the film which can become borderline controversial but it is managed and handled with so much delicacy that it's a delight to watch. We also get to see Sangeeta Prasad after a very long period of time which takes us through nostalgic. Malavika Mohan plays a  tricky character and she has done reasonably well. sangeeth Prasad and his timing is impeccable and hilarious. 

So go for it. It's a very very beautiful and feel good movie!
