Pookkalam is a movie that is all about the intricate relationships and bonds within a family. It has very beautifully portrayed old age love,through the role of Ittoop and Ichaama played by Vijayaraghavan and KPAC Leela. The make up Ronex Xavier demands special recognition,without which the characters wouldn't have been this authentic. The DOP by Anand C Chandran is immaculate and Midhun Murali's editing is seamless. The other major characters are played by Vineeth Sreenivasan,Basil Joseph and Johny antony. They have performed such hilarious performances. It was really nice to see Abu Salim in such a different character. The role of his wife,done by Ganga meera was also nice. Annu antony and Arun Kumar extended vibrancy and energy to their characters. All the newcomers did a commendable job. Jagadeesh also acted in a very notable role. The music by Sachin Warrier is another highlight of the movie. The colour grading by Bilal Rashid is on point ,I need to say! The visuals perfectly encapsulated the emotions of the movie. All in all brilliant execution by Ganesh Raj,the writer come director. Congratulation to Vinod shornur and Thomas thiruvalla for producing such a sweet movie. Rafi Kannadiparba needs to be appreciated for his brilliant costume sense,all the colour's selected were so soothing to eyes. The lyrics by Kaithapram and rafeeq Ahmed conveyed a lot. Cheers to entire team .
