FILMFESTIVAL

FESTIVAL REVIEW

Swaralaya international film festival 2010 brings latest national and international classic films But the organising and screening still struggling. The screening at JEEVA theature is a failure.No audience no fascilities and not safe for audience.At JOBBIES it is difficult to view the films in daylight.In PRIYATHAMA it is disturbed by the frequent switch on/off of lights.May these failures overcomes...?

HEROS:
Sameer and Ali tries to make a film with the theme "why youngmans are not joining in military" for the completion of their Degree course in film institute.They wish to secure the certificate and goto England. For this they visited a tv reporter. He gave them the last letters of some soldiers in Kargil war. Sameer and Ali visited the families of these soldiers and shared the experience.After knowing the life they changed their views and finally their theme as "why youngmans are joining in military" .After completing the course they started a Military school and settled in India.Attractive film sponges up the beauty of Northern India.

PASSENGER:
An ordinary family man, Sathyanathan,becoms a real hero and take crucial role in saving the life of Nandanmenon,Anuradha and people of of Marangara.The film tries to speak about the alertness and attitude of the common people towards the society. The second half of film is crawling.The film is neither an Anthikkad film nor a Sreenivasan



16th March 2.00

PALERIMANIKKAYAM
The stroy tells along lengthwise and widthwise.Finally film becomes an yellow story.After intermission film not enjoyable

16th 5.30
DRONA:
Everybody expected the film is the famous malayalam film of mammooty, but it is a hindi film Why such boring films include in this Festival .DRONA is a fictionfilm .It has a baseless story .I think such films can't catch the audience in KERALA

16th 8.00
THIRAKKATHA:
A very good film from RENJITH. It tells the counterdramas in film field The story very much resembles to the life of actor Mohanlal and Sreevidhya If it may or may not be correct the film well organised,well performed




17th March 2.30

BHOOTHAKKANNADY
The film gives the Hero and Heroine more chances to perform .But for audience it is a tragedy. A well progressed story eventually comes to a tragic end.Such a end make the film non attractive

17th 7.30
