Akam - A Slice of feel of Clockwork Orange

Akam -  Fahad Fazil's experimental try is convincing and work most of the parts as the thriller. I didn't read the original novel "Yakshi" by the veteran Malayatoor Ramakrishnan.

The movie is not surely for masses, but the movie is a watch for its experimentation and the intensity developed while watching the movie.



The movie is depressive, creates a aloof feel, sick your mind up to a certain level but flourishes at last with its novel attempt.

Cinematographer Christopher John Smith is outstanding on his work especially the movie has " moments of illusion and haunting angels for your mind" and it had a hidden message of a persons " loneliness and depression"

Director Shalini Usha Nair is appealing on her attempt, even though she didn't made it as a bench mark cinema. The Success of the thriller lies when the director fits the viewer to the role of Sreenivasan (Fahad fazil) and moves the story further.

Fahad's make up is not great but in the same time not feeling sick. He carried the role very well and Anu mol is haunting and seducing by her beauty. Felt few scenes she is not that comfortable in carrying her role, may be the role itself have more mystery and pain.



Overall I like the movie for its experimental attempt and the theme which is global.

Movie which was screened in International film festivals in the year of 2011 and released only now (April 2013). Reasons for the delay is unknown and releasing this season may be Fahad is more hot in his market than any before :).
