Iyobinte Pusthakam Movie Review

Iyobinte Pusthakam Movie Review


Review By : Parthan

Iyobinte Pusthakam = A visual treat !!!!

As usual Amal Neerad's stylish direction and cinematography created a grand visual treat "Iyobinte Pusthakam" to its viewers.

Even though the story is old, story period of the movie is bringing a lot of change. The movie, a period drama, is set in British India. Iyob is that loyal servant of the British planter Harrison . When Harrison  passed away, Iyob became the owner of all the assets and ruled that area.  Upon the death of his wife Annama, Iyob’s elder sons  Dmitri , and  Ivan grow up just like his father and Aloshy, the younger son of Iyob found it difficult to get along with his father and brothers and he ran away from them. After many years, Aloshy returned to his home and the movie shows us the events that happen in this second coming of Aloshy.

The star casting of this movie is simply superb as, Lal's perfect Iyoob in loyalness &
roughness, and a very good impression of Fahadh's Aloshy with his new looks with twisted mustache and action scenes. Isha Sharvani was okay. Chemban Vinod Jose, Vinayakan, Jinu, Padmapriya, Reenu Mathews, the Ravi family, Lena and many actors are there in the star cast, who did a very good job. And Jayasurya's dialogue presentation, movements and the costume completes the character of Ankar Rawthar.

As I said before, I will give 5/5 to Amal Neerad for all his all handwork to make such a great visual treatment.

All the ingredients for a period drama, from the ethnic settings to old cars are done without fail and the action scenes are perfectly choreographed. There is enough sequences with slow motion, but you will not feel the slow motion in this movie. Amal Neerad was successful in  portraying the emotions beautifully. Cinematography is excellent.

The songs of the movie is not good enough, but the background scores  by Neha Nair and Yakzan Gary Pereira increases the overall quality. Visual effects were really good and I would really like to know how Amal Neerad executed some shots in unimaginable angles.

My rating is 4/5 for Iyobinte Pusthakam.  Overall, I guarantee Iyobinte Pusthakam is giving you a new visual experience which keeps you in the seat till the end.
