Annorikkal

It is not very often that actresses appreciate their colleagues' performances. That way, 'Annorikkal' is a very special film. When Sheela saw the film recently, she gushed about Kavya Madhavan's role as 'Ponnu'.

Sharadchandran Wayanad makes his debut as a director with 'Annorikkal'. He had written scripts for films like 'Vaasanthiyum Lakshmiyum Pinnae Nyaan'.

The film takes place in a village. Kavya Madhavan is Ponnu who lives with her mother in the tiny village. She has the burden of repaying the debt that her father had borrowed when he was alive. She works hard to make enough money to redeem her properties.

Two men in the village are very much interested in her - Pandi (played by Kalabhavan Mani) and the son of the local rich man who had loaned the money to Ponnu's father. But Ponnu soon ends up falling in love with Benny (played by Sunil). Benny doesn't have a job and he is very much in love with Ponnu too.

Misery strikes when Benny accidentally kills Pandi's brother and ends up in prison. Pandi decides to seek revenge for his brother's death and goes after Benny.

What happens to the lovers? The film's climax has an interesting answer.

Anandakuttan has demonstrated excellent cinematography skills in the film. He had beautifully portrayed the village and its lush greenery on the screen.

The Good- Just about everything. Kavya Madhavan is excellent with her Wayanad accent and rural body language and mannerisms. Sunil has given a fine performance too as a man caught in an overwhelming situation.

The Bad- Kavya's makeup. In some scenes, you can actually see the black pigments flow.
