The people around me are the actors in this film…
I am the one who became the audience.
The two big “M”s are in this movie…
But they didn’t come as stars.
They came as experience.
Mammootty Sir doesn’t perform dialogue…
he releases weight through silence.
Mohanlal Sir, he is simply existing inside the frame.
That ease cannot be learned.
It can only be lived.
Fahadh Faasil once again proves.....
Fear, confusion, intelligence…
everything passes through him like electricity.
And Kunchacko Boban…
what a graceful surprise.
Softness outside… storm inside.
This is not a Malayalam movie…
In the name of a Malayalam movie, they have quietly taken an English movie!
But the director didn’t simply “take” a film…
he took us inside the film.
The making of Patriot deserves a separate applause.
Nowadays, technology is available for everyone…
but taste is not.
This film has taste in every frame.
The director has handled the subject with maturity and control.
No scene tries too hard to impress,
yet every scene stays with us.
And the cinematography…
the camera didn’t merely capture faces,
it captured fear, tension, and silence too.
And the cameraman…
not camera-man…
“care-man”!
Because every frame was handled with care.
The people in this movie are not acting.
They are living.
No performance looked performed.
Nowadays, many films want us to watch.
Very few films make us feel watched.
Patriot did that.
That is the real success of cinema.

Patriot, by Mahesh Narayanan is a Malayalam film that dares to dream bigger. I admire the attempt ; the scale , intent and the courage to bring the legends Mammootty and Mohanlal together. Along with Fahadh Faasil , Kunchacko Boban , Rajiv Menon, Revathi and Darshana Rajendran , they reflect different generations and acting rhythms, but all rooted in truth.
Special mention of the cinematography by Manush Nandan elevates the film beyond storytelling , turning every frame into an emotion that pulls you into the world the characters inhabit. He nailed it.
Uh?
One can learn whichever language they wish to in Chennai / Tamilnadu.
There is actual data to establish that the highest number of Hindi learners are in TN (Dakshina Bharat Hindi Prachar Sabha) and have only increased year on year; with substantial number of toppers coming from Tamilnadu.
I learned Telugu, Hindi as second languages and Sanskrit; even German and French whilst studying in Chennai. My first cousin spoke Badaga and Tulu along with Tamil and Hindi.
The Madras Sanskrit College has been in existence since 1906.
Sanskrit is a fairly tough language for many even if one has the proclivity to pick up languages with ease; Hindi native speakers from my class found it tough as well; mugging through Raamaha Raamau Raamaahaa.
If there’s a deterrent for people who have learned Hindi as a 2nd / 3rd language to speak it - it is because of the ridicule and shaming they face due to the (usually South Indian) mother tongue influence on an additional language.
Historically the agitation had a very real reason and it is best for all of us to educate ourselves on why.
Why cant people speak what they want, Eat what they want.
Worship whomsoever they want or not?

This is a really great step by @yrf. Much needed. Only way this country can come back to its feet is if the rich help get everyone vaccinated asap. All industries should follow suit. Bas ab Londonwallah vaccine bhejde toh kripa hogi.
