Bangalore Days

Devastatingly long and exhausting. I even tried to keep up until halfway. But there's just no point, characters are just living mundane life, showing them as cool urban kids. Even after interval, it's just plain and slow. Definitely for casual masala audience. But not for movie souvenir-ists.

Out of all the new generation movies that are coming out of Malayalam movie industry, I could easily say this one stands far better. Sweet and gentle enough to be watched with the company of your parents and family while also quirky and young for a movie night with your friends. Unlike any other new generation movies, this does not make you squirm in your seat. In fact I think, you should make your parents watch this movie especially if you are a teen. It has got a lot of meaningful facts that can be shared and is definitely a thought provoker Fahadh Faasil has time and again proved that he is a force to reckon with when it comes to acting and this movie further establishes this fact. The movie is filled with casts that is powerful and true to their characters. Nobody disappoints you in their roles whether it is Dulquer Salmaan as Arjun aka Aju or Nivin Pauly as Krishnan P P aka Kuttan or Nazriya Nazim as Divya Prakash aka Kunju or even Parvathy Menon as RJ Sarah. Even minuscule roles were polished to perfection like that of Isha Talwar as Meenakshi and Nithya Menen as Natasha Francis. This movie is both a treasure and pleasure worth watching. The messages were strong along with performances and plot. The comic elements are spot on without being forced or cliché. The other bright spot is definitely the music. In spite of being a new generation movie, it is not "in your face" and has a clean and effective screenplay. No Bawdy jokes or double meaning dialogs that make you run for cover. Wait till the very end for a mind blowing twist or plot diversion.

I've watched so many films but this movie is quite different and unique. Amazing writing, Direction, Cinematography and wonderful acting no doubt. This is the quality of an Indian cinema and everyone should watch this movie once. Everything is so good, emotional and mesmerizing. I do not know Malayalam language but didn't feel a language barrier for a single moment. Must watch movie Kudos to the whole team of this movie.

Bangalore days is full of life. The movie talks about the tale of three cousins who travel to Bangalore in the pursuit of chasing their dreams. The story revolves around the journeys of these three twenty- somethings and how each one of them cops up in accordance to the twists and turns in their individual lives. Because it consists of a prestigious star cast, the expectation bar among the viewers regarding the flick was too high. And let me tell you, it is unmitigatedly worth the hype! The film is incorporated with appreciable transitions, commendable drollery, a congenial run time of 170 minutes and one of the most pleasurable story lines. All these factors bolstered by exquisite performances add to the film's charm fashioning it into a complete package. Kudos to the person who took the task of assembling such an effulgent movie troupe. Nivin Pauly, as one of the three main leads, was as natural as he could have been. Also, the way he narrates their journey diversifies the script making it even more delectable. Nazriya, as the main female lead is creditable. She is much blessed with the skill of exhibiting emotional scenes and is bound to get better with age. Out of the three leads, Dulquer Salman's portrayal was paramount. Enacting the character of a rowdy biker driven by complex emotions is not a piece of cake, but Salman has hit the spot effortlessly. Fahadh Fasil has been the cream of the crop while enacting his part that of an angry young husband, his performance was just simply flawless! Parvathy Menon as RJ Sarah was like a cherry on the top, she definitely managed to make an impression. Other minor roles played by Isha Talwar and Kalpana were mediocre as well. Anjali Menon has unambiguously managed to make a hit with her 2nd major directorial venture. Also, a distinguished and wondrous screenplay leaves you mesmerized. Editing and Cinematography departments have definitely aced at their respective jobs. All the locations from Kerala and Bangalore have been impeccably put on the big screen. Music and other background scores by Gopi Sunder too were very much above average. Summarizing everything, Bangalore days is a perfect blend of meritorious drama, affable romance and rollicking comicality. Lovely is the word for it! People who take pleasure in watching jolly youth dramas and love stories will surely fall in love with this one.

Seriously, such high ratings for this? Lmao. Where do I start about this horrible film? Started watching Malayalam films in the lockdown. While many films I found amazing, this disappointed me to the core. I'm still laughing at such high ratings and YouTube reviews raving about this film being a fantastic flick and all that. The characters are really bad and one dimensional. Filled with plot holes, this film is so bad that it is actually funny. The director seems to have no clue how to make a film decent enough. I don't know what's the reason. I can't for the life of me comprehend how this badly made film was appreciated by so many. The only likeable thing was Fahad Fazil's character initially, who also I didn't like towards the end when his past comes up. I could relate only to him, like how he finds it hard to tolerate those dumb and idiotic cousins. Especially the "cool" guy who has hardly any manners. Also the bond that these cousins share, doesn't feel very natural. It honestly felt quite forced. Like don't they have any friends? Especially with the cool guy, you'd expect him to have many friends but still chooses to hang out with his cousins, one being a super boring IT engineer sorta nerdy guy. At times it felt like that guy and his female cousins were into an arrangement sort of thing. Honestly, with the way they were behaving, hiding from their relatives, etc it felt like they were more than cousins lol. While there are so many things in this movie that are beyond silly and laughable, the songs are the only respite that the movie is able to provide. The wedding song is good and then later when they the cousins hang out at the theatre, go for a bike ride and stuff a cool song plays. The guitar playing and melody of it add a nice feel to the song. Also there is one song in the film which is the same tune as Summer of '69 which is painfully bad. If it weren't for the songs and Fahad Fazil I would rank this film as #1 in The most horrible and Overrated films ever list, but they are the only saving grace. Without the songs and Mr Fazil, this movie would for me be not just the worst Malayalam film, but the worst film ever. I would give this film a 4 as it has some redeeming qualities at least, but in my hopes to bring down the ludicrous ratings which currently stand at 8.3, I give this film a 1/10.

Bangalore Days opens with a narrative style of Navin Pouli - the story is about 3 cousins and their different temperaments and lives.Though each personality is very different from one other, their bond which is portrayed through an excellent screenplay is what makes the film special. In these days where own families do not support each other when things get tough, this movie portrays how these 3 cousins stay together through thick and thin. Coming to the characters: Divya/Nazriya - Resilient, sharp witted and independent in the true sense; is exceptional. Her portrayal of how a modern Indian woman is expected to conform is spot on but her free spirit is destined to do much more. Kutta/Navin - The quintessential small town software engineer, who wants to explore new places, earn money but finally wants a homely girl who will cook for him and serve him. Arjun/Dilquer - The romeo, the free spirit who doesn't care for rules or perceptions. Extremely impulsive, he does what his heart tells him to do. This character is the glue in the 3 lives, and brings the whole story to life. Finally, Mr. Das/Fahd - the brooding/depressed/chauvinistic husband who is actually not any of the above but his past has made him who he is today. Well portrayed by Fahd. The RJ and short appearance by Menon along with all the supporting family members add to the chutzpah of the movie. This movie will make you laugh and cry. Go watch it, its 3 hours long but you would never look at your watch once and its worth every penny. I give it a 7.5 as some of the sequences could have been more real.

I like the movie but overrated and what makes me furious is the name of the movie Why name it Bangalore Days when the movie doesn't have any essence of Bangalore or the locals in it. The title could have been anything like.. Golden days, college days, etc. This movie is a total insult to Bangalore. Just a cheap strategy to get more viewers.
