Rithu

Cast: Nishan, Rima, Asif Ali

Direction: Shyamaprasad

Music: Rahul Raj



The movie tells the story of three childhood friends Sarath, Varsha and Sunny who dreams about making it big in their own ways . However when they reunite for a new IT firm after drifting apart for a short while , they realize that the peculiar chemistry that they had between themselves has vanished .The associated revelations about the hideouts in their personalities and irretrievable depths of their friendship proves the focus of the movie . Trying to catchup with what they have lost in between time and space , Sharath realises that it is finally a day to call himself out of their memories and dreams and to start afresh. Shyamaprasad has given a mature unhurried treatment to the theme that comes out of a well flushed up scriptlines by Joshua newton,armed with sensitive dialogues and emotional subtexts. With references to sexual freedom, hypocrisy and gay life, this could well be a welcome rebellion against the shackles of formula that had been with the Mollywood cinema for quite some time .There is not much an indifference when narrating these subtexts as they never seems much imposed upon the characters .

And in the little downside the characters could have more gelled well ,if it would have avoided the stereotype of flirting females working in IT sector .Also is the socialist tirade that sprouts up in intervals about the capitalist SEZ and IT parks constructed on poor man's ' lands looting them for being sincere . Few dialogues in certain scenes also remain dramatic and pointless and could have been trimmed .

Bottom Line
===========

Rithu - Refreshing

Agnisakshy, Akalae, Ore kadal ,.. and now Rithu'' , Director shyamaprasad is once again proving that he is a sensitive filmmaker without prejudices , always aiming to find the best out of the themes that he embarks upon, His former movies were all based on famous literary works , but this time his belief in the journo tuned scriptwriter Joshua Newton has really paid off...
