Ritu-Seasons :)

I am hell bored sitting at home and idling away. Christmas holidays werent as great as expected. Various ideas of outings were planned and called off because of one reason or other. As expected,tv channels aired a number of films,most of them being recent releases,inorder to attract viewers as this is christmas season. Most of 'em having bombed at the BO. Parunthu,Red chillies,lollipop to name a few. But Kairali tv,for a change,came up with a better movie. Indeed the best one among all mallu channels. I was awe-struck on seeing the movie Ritu.
Directed by Shyamaprasad of 'Agnisakshi' , 'Akale' and 'Ore kadal' fame,there is a minimum guarantee that this will not be one of those slapstick 'entertainers' with no content. Its such a memorable movie that at the end,it leaves you in complete nostalgia. Casting youngsters is a tough job,especially in mallu industry. Hats off to Shyamaprasad for having the courage to do so,in this movie which tackles the complex issues of the present world and come out with flying colours. This film may not be a commercial success but I recommend this movie to all. I assure you that you wont be disappointed after watching it.

With the today's world as the backdrop,Ritu discusses issues related to contemporary life and society,and also diverse themes such as the certainity of transition,the fantasies of the present youth and above all the incessant flow of life. This is all about 3 childhood friends who had various dreams which never realized,as they were dragged to IT world. How this new world affects their lives forms the rest of the story.

The tagline for the film is apt.
"Seasons change. Do we?"
