Kumbalangi Nights

what can I say about this gorgeous masterpiece of a movie. the actors, the soundtrack, the editing. gorgeous. doesn't have a serious plotline, well, not a mindblowing one at least. I guess, you could call Fahad Fasil's psychotic break a twist but you can see that coming from a mile. but for real, Fahad Fasil was born to play a psychopath. he definitely did justice to his role. and gosh, Shane Nigam and his subtle, yet powerful acting. amazing. everyone one in was natural and powerful. the dialogues are also very realistic and funny. sherikum paranhal, oru freakan movie.

The movie is rich with emotions and hidden meanings. One standout scene is when Soubin's character courageously asks to see a therapist, highlighting the film's exploration of personal struggles and openness. The film depicts a family dealing with issues like masculinity, emotional vulnerability, and economic inequality. It touches on socialism's ideals of equality and collective well-being, showing how societal norms and economic factors influence people's lives. Each brother represents different societal roles: the unemployed, the ambitious entrepreneur, the struggling with masculinity, and the observer. Their interactions reveal broader societal challenges, questioning traditional ideas of success and masculinity. The movie also critiques how capitalism affects personal relationships and community solidarity, emphasizing the importance of empathy, understanding, and collective support in building a fairer society.
