Finally, the much awaited high budget multistarer Malayalam film, Christian Brothers got released today. Christian Brothers that features Universal star Mohanlal, Dileep, Suresh Gopi, Tamil actor Sarath Kumar, Kavya Madhavan, Kaniha, Lakshmi Rai, Lakshmi Gopalaswamy etc in the lead was expected to be the first Malayalam movie to have a worldwide release, but due to some technical issues it didn't happened and now this new film will release on abroad only by this 25th.
This new Malayalam movie, Christian Brothers, directed by veteran Joshiy and produced in combine by Maha Subair of Varnachitra Big screen and A V Anoop of AVA productions features the script written by the most successful script writers in Malayalam, Sibi K Thomas and Uday Krishnan. As per the initial reports, this new Malayalam movie have lived upto the expectation of the viewers and ensures everything in it to become a big hit.
Frankly speaking, this new movie Christian Brothers can be mentioned as yet another 20-20 without Mammootty in it. The writers were able to come up with a descent story (though it's not a fresh one) and have worked on it to make it into a well made script. Director Joshiy have proved once again why he is honoured so much in this Malayalam film industry. Other highlight of this film happens to be the cinematography by Anil Nair and the music by Deepak Dev.
On the acting side, all the 4 heroes have got enough to perform and similarly it also featured 4 heroines as well but sadly, none of them had nothing much to do. Mohanlal, Suresh Gopi were awesome to watch. Dileep with a relatively shorter role has also performed well. Sarath Kumar with just only an extended cameo appearance have made his impact hugely in this film. Lakshmi Rai and Lakshmi Gopalaswamy were seen only just for a couple of songs and scenes. Kavya Madhavan and Kaniha are there, but nothing to perform at all.
Sai Kumar, as the father of these christian brothers was a real treat to watch. Also, Jagathy Sreekumar with his uncle character, though it's a short one, was able to make his role a nice memorable one. Rest of the cast, as usual had nothing to perform, but just to help the heroes on the process. Suraj Venjaramoodu was also included in this movie for creating some comedy sequences but was no way near his best, and even found it to be irritating sometimes.
All in all, this much awaited high budget multistarer Malayalam film, Christian Brothers is a film that carries a festive mood in it, which will suit the season very much. I prefer you to watch this movie, since it can be stated as a mass masala entertainer at it's best..
