blessy films surely are special, the fact that they are so close to reality and the human relationships his films portrays is so pure and adorable. You have to give him full marks for the way in which he selects the characters and defy the usual stereotype method of telling the story, surely he will write his name along side the greats of malayalam cinema. While watching pranayam you should not be amazed if you are drawn back to the era of padmarajan and bharathan ; so beautifully essayed film.
PRANAYAM the 6th film by blessy easily matches his previous endeavours and most importantly stand apart with a completely different and fresh subject.The movie is produced by annie sajeev.
The movie starts of with achutha menon(anupam kher) who had withstood a cardiac arrest spending his days with his son's wife and daughter. Anup menon plays the role of his busy son suresh who is working in dubai, both are so closely attached since achutha menon was the one responsible to make him reach his height since his wife grace(jayaprada) divorced him 2 yrs after their marriage. The story unfolds when achutha menon see his wife after 40 years in the same apartment which leads to his second cardiac arrest. Grace lives in the same apartment with his second husband mathews: who is partly paralyzed and confined to a wheel chair (mohanlal) and her daughter.The couples share a good relation both loving each other, but seeing her ex husband make the three of them walk down their memory lane and here blossoms one of the rarest relationship ever been told.
The story then flows like a poem with no rush in unfolding each of the three characters and slowly u get engulfed in love with them. The story is so sensitive but blessy's deft touch have worked magic here in portraying one of the untold relationship between a man and woman.
The casting hass been so brilliant, each roles has been tailor made for them, of course anupam kher, jayaprada and mohanlal have delivered their best performances.The dialogues has been crafted with brilliance, which pulls you into the plot. mohanlal and anupam kher comes up with emotionally precise performances but truly the star is jayaprada who lives and leads the central role to perfection.
It wouldn't be done if one did not say abt the technical side of pranayam, satheesh kurup have supplemented blessy by creating a beautiful set of poetic frames which aptly matches the narrative, the editing by raj muhammad is top notch which shows one of the best cut emotions of actors, music by m.jayachandran is a killer at some parts.
GET VISUALLY ENGULFED IN LOVE
