Swa Le


It is some time since this movie has been released. I had heard good reviews of it and hence decided to watch it. First of all let me say that the movie though is not too good, does meet expectations.

The story is of a news reporter of a not-so-good doing firm, his attempts to get scoops, making meet both ends of his life, and finally trying to be a human being. The film seems to be set in the early 90's and shows the hardships that news reporters then had to face. The brighter side of the movie is the visualization of human relationships, a feeling to be in sync with nature, and trying to be committed to work as well. The sarcastic comments and portrayals also hit the spots exactly.

The visualization is good and set with lots of backwaters and greenery in view. Though there are no songs worth a hum after watching the movie, the on-screen pair does look good together. Gopika did not have much of a challenging role. From the beginning till the end, we see the heroine as a pregnant lady who is extremely patient with her husband's odd timing. The character does lack emotions at times. Dileep has done a commendable job. After seeing the other contemporary super heroic and worst movies of Dileep, it seems he has done a good job.

Everything about the movie was realistic except for the last bit. It shows the sudden transformation of the person with lots of feelings to a very practical news editor. Apart from that, the movie was worth a watch.

I also saw this last week. Same opinion. The ending was too cliched and was a big fail. Too bad the film didnt do well.
