Paulo Ayyappa Coelho is a 2016 Indian Malayalam film written and directed by
Sidhartha Siva.It is produced by Kunchacko Boban, who also stars, and marks the
return ofUdaya Pictures, the first ever film production company in Malayalam
cinema, after 30 years.Ayyappa Das fondly called Appu is the central character
around which the whole plot is built. The little boy has a dream of travelling
in a plane and the movie takes us to a remote village in Idukki where rest of
the plot unravel. Whether he can achieve his long cherished dream is shown in
KPAC with lot of sincerity.Those who have followed the career of the director
will know what kind of movie he makes. It will have a minimum standard in it
with values attached. He has a knack of telling simple stories with a simple
narrative. KPAC is no exception but the difference from his earlier movies here
is the presence of little dose of the so called commercial flavour in it making
it a pleasing movie watching experience for any class of audience. The making
style is simple and straight forward, very much common in his movies which has
become a trademark style for him.The story as such isn't that heavy but it is
the presence of lighter and emotional scenes that have helped in conveying the
right mood and elevating the movie to the next level. If you have a dream and
is passionate and honest about it, the whole world and even the nature will
stand with you for realising that dream.
This
thought is often stressed and quoted in the movie on numerous occasions by
Kochavva, the character played by Kunjacko Boban. Kochavva reference this quote
to Brazilian novelist Paulo Coelo and his novel The Alchemist.
In
KPAC, Ayyappa Das is ready to go to any extreme to make sure his dream one day
turned into a reality. The plot connect this thread to a sporting activity and
that's how the characters of Kochavva and Ayyappa Das gets involved with each
other. Infact, this aspect is delivered in a convincing and believable format.
Certain things which I cannot reveal at this point can be questioned
considering the practicality of the situation, those things can be ignored
considering the noble cause and values for which the movie stand out.Kunjacko Boban
played the character of Kochavva and have come out in flying colours. His
character is an innocent person who is very sincere at heart and cannot
withstand the pain and helplessness ofothers. The actor has done what he was
supposed to do in the best possible way. Nedumudy Venu, KPAC Lalitha, Suraj
Venjaramudu, Muthumani, Irshad, Muthumani, Aju Varghese and Mukesh were the
actors who impressed me among the supporting actors. Some had meaty roles while
others like Mukesh and Irshad didn't had a major part to play but nevertheless
acted their part in a neat fashion. Anusree as the female lead was okayin a
brief role.
The
movie is incomplete without Master Rudraksh who enacted the role of Ayyappa
Das. He was so natural that it didn't look like he was acting. With due respect
to all the actors and their performances in KPAC, I would say Rudraksh was the
best for me in the movie with the way he has expressed himself supported by his
natural dialogue delivery.
Verdict :
A must watch movie with a sweet
message.Don't miss it in cinemas.
