Android Kunjappan Version 5.25 (2019) :
Brief Review -
A big salute to Malayalam Cinema for giving a lesson to Hollywood and World Cinema on how to make a Masterpiece Human Drama with Sci Fi touch. What are those Cult sci-fi flicks you remember from world cinema? Let me help you, ok so the first Masterpiece in this genre was German Flick 'Metropolis' (1927) then there was a big gap untill we met Spielberg's 'ET The Extra Terrestrial' and Cameron's 'Terminator'. Then there were animated flicks like 'Big Hero 6' and 'Wall-E' and Shankar's action oriented 'Endhiran'. So, this is my list of those sci-fi flicks which had human characters as well as Machine character, of course that doesn't apply to ET but see, even in that film we had Alien's character which is sort of sci-fi, if not a machine. The point is these films tried to create a bond between Human and Inhuman character (that's perfect word i guess, better than Sci-Fi or Machines) and the cumulative efforts were highly moving. Here's something new with the same old storyline Android Kunjappan Version 5.25. It's highly innovative, very intelligent, smartly crafted story with heart at right place. It's just not that, it is something more that cannot be explained here in brief summary. It must be watched to feel it and understand and believe me, just like me you will also find it difficult to explain it to someone. What even Spielberg's ET couldn't achieve, that intellectual and thoughtful material is achieved by this film. This is not an overstatement, i mean it fully. It is much more emotional, clever and heart touching than ET, Period. I don't give 9/10* to even many Cult films, but I'm gonna give it to this film and the reason is, it has sent a message to world cinema that, "yes, if we try then can do better than you." The climax is so powerful and effective that it easily makes it one of the greatest film of the decade. Strongly recommended and i just wish that you really understand the subtle meaning of it.
RATING - 9/10*
