Barring its narrative style, ‘Charlie’ is one movie which can be enjoyed whole heartedly. This movie sure is a winner and a must watch this festive season, which prompts you to live life free-spiritedly. ‘Charlie’ does keeps you glued to the seat with a very engaging storyline and content. A different perspective would have made this movie an all time classic. Camera angles by Jomon are very romanticised. Gopi Sunder’s music blends in with the narrative. Kudos to scriptwriter Unni R for conceiving such a movie. The taut dialogues, the ideology presented and sequences are the movies’ USP. Martin Prakkat had a very promising movie in his hands. The supporting actors including Soubin, Nedumudi, Aparna Gopinath et al are good in their respective roles. Only his drunk avatar seems a bit uncooked. Parvathy seems to have lost her bearings here and there. There are certain mannerisms of his including the laugh and the tongue out that are unique. The lead actors Dulquer and Parvathy sizzles in their roles. Dulquer is intense as Charlie. In doing so, he has compromised on that subtle artistry, which would have given a naturalness to the narrative. Maybe he was doubtful about the ability of the audience to understand the movie. Director Martin Prakkat has tried to highlight the unusualness with that yellow marker adding all those commercial elements. But ‘Charlie’ is sure to excite those who love the ‘unusual’. This movie might not appeal to all and sundry. Though we are aware of the glitches in the narration at times, the sequences which unfold erase that unease. Tessa’s quest to find this enigmatic person is what the movie is all about. He is one of those rare artistes whose presence people miss when absent, who people remembers even if encountered just once in life, who makes a difference to random people.
For a character who is like the breeze which goes wherever and however it pleases, Charlie has been portrayed as subtly as a raging storm! Though this anomaly persists, the viewers do get the essence of Charlie in the course of narration through those sequences involving Mary (Kalpana), Kala (Aparna Gopinath), the impromptu robbery, the old age home, Nedumudi Venu’s love story etc.Ĭharlie is very much lovable. The artistic room which Tessa (Parvathy) rents, the very costumes of Tessa and Charlie, all those gimmicks to lend a mystery to Charlie’s aura as an elusive genie are all over the top. In spite of this, ‘Charlie’ is very much an engaging movie. Unni R’s script and dialogues have helped in holding the movie together intact.Īs ‘Charlie’ begins, there is this uneasy feel that the director is painstakingly trying to establish something. However a larger than life projection of Charlie, an in your face narration style and romanticised camera angles have all jeopardized that possibility. There was everything in the movie that should have made Charlie (played by Dulquer) a cult character. An intense character, a good concept and storyline, talented actors on board, ‘Charlie’ had scope for a great narration.
