A Movie Review.



I had some time this morning and since I thought I will relax, I chose to watch a movie in the channel 'Kairali', a Malayalam channel.The movie was titiled' Sunil-aged 20'.It was about a youth who is addicted and how he does two crimes,one that of phoning a married woman entreating favours and then kidnapping her child.Directed by Bharathan who is a famous director in Malayalam cinema, this movie about one or two decades back was taken well.

I liked it for its content and the actors Rahman and Urvasi looking great and playing the woman have done well.Somehow Rahman fitted the part of the youth.It was his mother's neglect of him in his youth that pushes him to addiction and later just a crime done for fun.It made me think of the importance of parenting.Also the need to be a comapnion and confident of the children is to be recognized by the parent.In this age of communication perhaps talking and knowing one's children is a necessity.

As a next step the teacher also need to be one knowledgeable in matters relating to adolence and must give time to the youngsters.But the age seems to be an age for hurrying up.So the errors.

Jayamala.
