At First Malayalam Movie I viewed: Swathi Thirunal (1987)

Sri Padmanabha Dasa Vanchipala Sri Rama Varma, otherwise called Swathi Thirunal Kulasekhara Perumal Maharaja, and significantly more prominent as just Swathi Thirunal, was not just an all around regarded and broadly known King of the State of Travancore, however keeps on being an interminable Prince of Indian traditional music. A man with authority over different dialects, he disparaged both Carnatic and Hindustani types of Indian established music, created numerous a kritis, sang them himself, and compensated vocalists and artists of notoriety from the nation over amid his rule.

It is the flexible ruler's bicentennial birth commemoration this year and what better event to at long last get hold of his biopic, "Swathi Thirunal", a 1987 Malayalam Movie that I was chasing for more than five years. With Kannada maestro Anant Nag assuming the lead part of Swathi Thirunal, there was much to anticipate from the Movie, and I had just seen looks of it on the web. Brilliant music with legends Dr. M. Balamurali Krishna and K. J. Yesudas as playback artists was the other main consideration not to miss this Movie. My first Malayalam film watching knowledge was entirely great without a doubt - it was to a greater degree a musical, with almost no requirement for exchanges as the music talked all through the Movie. The center of the Movie likewise appeared to be on the ruler's craft support, in spite of the fact that he was an incredible visionary and realized numerous changes, notwithstanding presenting quality English training and allopathic drug to southern India. He passed on at an exceptionally youthful age of 33, yet he had created more than 400 kritis by then in Sanskrit, Malayalam, Hindi and Kannada. One can just ponder what incredible things he would have accomplished on the off chance that he had lived longer. Be that as it may, on the other hand, extraordinary individuals accomplish everything brief length - Adi Shankaracharya and Swami Vivekananda additionally ring a bell.

Returning to the film, it was justified regardless of a weekend evening's watch with commonly splendid acting of Anant Nag through limited feelings, best seen amid the version of the Charukeshi gem "Kripaya Palaya Shoure", and the best part of the Movie being a Jugalbandi between Dr. M. Balamurali Krishna, K. J. Yesudas and Neyyattinkara Vasudevan, as the tune "Pannagendra Shayana" (a padam made by Swathi Thirunal sung in Ragamalika - 8 ragas for 8 yamas from sunset to sunrise in recognition of master Ananthapadmanabha) took the viewer to a different universe.

Manorama | Review By - Arathi Kannan Rating-5/10

A story that offers a fine bend halfway, however gradually begins to drawl and broaden its predictable completion, is the significant difficulty. For a film that has put all its vitality into connections and transient life, the account could have been more nuanced with a tweaked non-verbal communication. It could have softened the repetitiveness and raised some interest with Prithviraj and Vedhicka playing up the nuance of dialect to such great impact.

Behindwoods | Review By - D Meera Chithirappaavai Rating-5/10

The story told in the principal half is an extremely normal one and consequently you will anticipate that the standard things will happen in the second half. Luckily, the little street that the storyteller takes to recount this story in a marginally surprising way is a major alleviation in the second half. With the right sort of pacing and incorporation of additionally amusing components (not inexorably business) James and Alice could have figured out how to end up yet another critical story.

Filmi Beat | Review By - Akhila Menon Rating-5/10

Sujith Vasudev makes a not too bad introduction as a chief and demonstrates that he is digging in for the long haul. He has attempted to draw out an alternate account style to the not really crisp subject, which is praiseworthy. Dr. S Janardhanan's screenplay needs quality in the principal half and falls into moderate pace; yet such negative variables are determined by the exciting, passionate second half and a firm peak.
