Iranian movies have always been simple and outstanding. When you have the quest 2 watch good movies, it will reach you by one or the other way. That is how this movie reached movie this morning and thus introduced me to a great director from Iran.
The movie travels and makes you travel with it. Only people who experience it can take a movie like this. so only many struggling nations have better depth of movies even at low budget. these movies will stand true till mankind is having his goals towards proving his superiority to others.

Kerala Cafe (2009, Malayalam Cinema)

Kerala cafe - Cast and Crew
                     Trailer




I am not writing the crew list here because it is a big one, so only i have given the link to check it..
This movie is first of its kind to indian cinema,atleast to my knowledge. movie which has compilation of 10 short films by 10 directors. Just 14 mins to every director and what can they tell in that? what will they convey? we are people with different tastes, but here you will get all your tastes. Luckily i watched this movie in theatre, twice, in last year's trivandrum film festival. (today is the last day of this year's film festival and i dint go there to witness it).
in this 10 movies my favorite are Happy Journey, Bridge, Puram Kazchakal. these three short films really had taken its toll on me.
in Puram Kazchakal, Mamooty has proven what he is worth it. you have to watch it first time to know what it is and second time to see what expressions he has given at each instant. I would bow down to him.
Happy Journey and Bridge directors are wonderful addition to the cinema world.

Writor   - Kim Ki-duk

           Lee Seung-yeon
Music    - Slvian        
Cinematographer - Seong-back Jang        
Editor - Ki-duk Kim



in Kim-Ki-Duk's movies dialogues you can write it down in 1 or 2 A4 sheets, but the movie speaks for itself. He is one of the director who has understood the language of film, it is not to write lengthy dialgoues but to make people by just seeing. the deafening silence he creates makes all to watch it. I still rember, last year how i was standing in big line under the sun to watch his movie in Trivandrum Film Festival. year by year this man's movie has always taken its pride by being the plum for the film festival. I was really proud when i watched so many people waiting for this man's movie in the sun. he deserves it and never did disappoint the people.
this movie is a simple when where you cant tel if you are living in real or dream.

If you have never watched any Kim- Ki - Duk's movie, den I will recommend strongly to watch this movie. you will surely fall in love with the man. He is one of my favourite director. His movies never cross more than 100 mins of running time, but the impact that it leaves on you will be for 100 years. This is one movie which everyone should watch. How much naturally we live can be known. the song that comes at the end of the movie is really good one, with subtitle if you watch it you will know its impact. the movie keeps me reminding always what i am and what i should be doing.

Khuda Ke Liye means in the name of god. what not have we done, this we is every human in this world, everyone is reason directly or indirectly to everything that is been done. If you see something that is not right, and if you dont protest, it is equal to supporting that act. that is how we are living. not supporting but allowing it to happen. Life is beautiful flower which we have got on this earth, but in the name of many things, mainly all ends up in god, we are ruining it, allowing it to decay. live and let live...

I should tel that am really ashamed and feeling very bad while writing this, reason, I was searching for some posters are photos for this movie to upload here in the google, and what i found was not even a postcard size ones. This movies is parent movie for DOR a hindhi movie, and i found many articles and posters. but this movie, which is so good and wonderful has got really nowhere out than Kerala or nearby states. Dor is a good movie, but it is not as good as its parent.
Meera Jasmine and Kavya Madhavan, the lead ladies of this movie have given a different meaning to this movie. The writer and the directors should be appreciated for not deviating anywhere out of the track.
when are we going to learn to do what we are best at?
