city of god review

city of god directed by lijo jose pellissery promises you a lot and does impresses you here and there.the film portrays story for quiet a lot of characters and its beautifully knitted to form one good story. though the prithviraj fans wil argue that he plays the lead.but there are some amazing onscreen and offscreen performances which makes this movie a collective effort rather than a one man show.lijo' has been successfull in maintaining the mood of the film throughout. the hand held camera throughout draws some serious appreciation.the lighting of the movie has been brilliantly set to give you the feel and emotions of the story the director is trying to say.He tries so hard to bring realism into movie, and one should say he is successful for most part of the story.indraji+h,parvathy and rohini as tamil workers earning there livelihood in the movie has done a great performance.reema myt have grown more beautiful but she needs to grow as an actor.the most outstanding thing in the movie is te script itself. how +he story Has been told is what holds on u to the seat.editing is brilliant and has done justice to the story.the movie stand a class apart in what we have seen of the usual Malayalam underworld movies.seriously lijo deserves a bow for his work.people have been searching for variety and for all those this film should serve as an answer:-)
