Johny Antony-odu maappu! I remember having commented some time last year that the worst of Malayalam cinema has finally been realised through Dileep's incarnation as CID Moosa. With due respect to Johny Antony, I withdraw my statement, after having sat through almost three years (yes, not hours!) of something that resembled something called cinema, and which was entitled Vettam.
Otta chodyame ulloo...inganathe padam pidikkunnathinu pakaram poyi thoongi koode uvve?

Three scenes - the by-now-(infamous) zipper scene, climax scene at the dam, the electric shock scene inside the godown - are more than enough to establish this crap as the most ludicrous sham of a film ever made!
Faisale...kure naalaayi njan oru Priyan padam kandittu. The stills looked kewl, and I liked that girl too from the posters. (Avalude abhinaya paadavathe kurichu eduthu parayanam...ithine okke evidunnu pidichu kondu varunno aavo!)Oru abadham okke ethu police-kaaranum pattum. Ini Pri.. ennu kettaale njan vazhi maari nadannolaam!

While admitting your freedom of opinion about a film, it is unfair to write off a well established director like Priyan. His recent failures can be attributed to the extra focus on commercial sides, which has unfortunately backfired.
As for the commercial success of the film, its too early to say, as if what happened in the case of CID Moosa, which u r well aware of!
BTW, “Lal fansinu ee review oru aaghaatham aayekum!” No my dear …………WC
We do appreciate good films………..
Regards dear

DH Lal fan.. nice to see that there are people like u who stand out among the rest! My comment was inspired by what my friends told me today, abt what happened at Sree theatre. They cud (apparently) hear Lal fans shouting out "Vettam pottiyee..." as Naatu Rajaavanu was being screened. Ofcourse ella Lal fans-um bigoted aanennu ithu kondu uddeshikkunnilla. There are exceptions, as ur words themselves have proved!Nice day DH! :-)

Sorry but I cant echo ur sentiments regarding the man behind Vettam... hes just a mediocre director who has had lucky times. Technically his flicks might be soemthing to look forward to, but unfortunately I never got to see much inside them barring a few films of his, which were again pale rehashes of originals.
And of late, even inspired story lines have ended up as humdrum realisations of the original in his hands. When you see a director repeating the same frame film after film, its time for the read alert - Stagnation point reached!

Ok.
It’s not the sentiments, just my thoughts.
Now u tell me how many of the directors has produced hits after hits? How many has succeeded in different languages at the same time? Recent success and failures cannot be attached to competence of a director, who has a long career.
If u feel it is a frame by frame copy, well, agreed to your point in the case of Vettam!

I spent three centuries inside the theatre, if there weren't good songs, i surely must have stop seeing the movie. the zipper scene should be sensored no dilip in second part. worst film of dilip.
