This forces Pazhassi Raja to escape to the forests of Wayanad. With the help of Kerala Varma Pazhassi Raja's uncle Kurumbranadu ruler Veeravarma (Thilakan), who is jealous of Pazhassi Raja for his success and influence, and Raja's old companion Pazhayamveedan Chandhu (Suman), the Company act against Pazhassi Raja. The exploitation of the native Indian resources by the Company had culminated in popular revolts against its authority across the district. The revolt is led by Kerala Varma (Mammootty), the Raja of Pazassi Palace, of Kottayam house. All the action scenes were interesting to watch.The film starts in 1796, four years after the occupation of Malabar by the English East India Company and towards the end of the First Pazhassi Revolt (1793–1797). Lot of efforts have been taken to shoot those scenes. I would like to make a special mention about the action scenes. Looking forward to see many good movies from you. Thanks for giving such a wonderful movie.
Pazhassi Raja in one scene tells about the Sivagangai freedom fighters too. No where in the movie was anything like that told. There was some complaints from some Tamilians that the movie projects Pazhassi Raja as the first freedom fighter. I have not seen any other movie written by him. Ilayaraja has actually produced a part of the score at the Hungarian National Philharmonic (Hungarian State Symphony Orchestra), Budapest. Hear one of the BGMs which was used quite a few times during fight scenes in the official website and it can be downloaded here. Who else in India can give such a wold-standard music? Brilliant!!! Awesome!!!!! Great!!!! I can watch this movie 100 times just for the BGMs and of course songs are wonderful as I have written in my music review.The OST of the movie should be released. He is the hero of the movie according to me. I remember Thotta dharani one time told that best set is something which people don't appreciate as a set. But I feel there was a little over dosage. We have not heard such sounds of swords, rain, spitting, table moving etc in any other Indian movie before. The Oscar fame Resul expects that there will be audience who will come just to hear the sounds he has given It can be even true to some extent. I feel like going there and be in the forests itself. He has beautifully shown the the already beautiful Wayanad forests. Suman, Kanika, Thilakan and all other actors have done their role perfectly. What a performance!!! You deserve a National award. So is the interaction scene with Manoj when they go for the tribal festival. The action scenes in which she comes were really mind blowing. I actually pitied on her for acting in Pokkisham and was doubtful about her future. He is a very important person in Pazhassi Raja's army and in the movie too.His Guerrilla war tricks were interesting to watch. I don't know why there was a big applause for Sarath than Mammotty in theatre in his first scene though the audience were 90% malayalis. This is Sarathkumar's first Malayalam movie. This man had a more heroic entry than Mammotty (The Tamilnadu wave? :P). This is something special about Malayalam movies. Even his intro scene is simple unlike the intros which chota heroes have in other south Indian films.
Though he is the protagonist, no unnecessary importance is given for him.
Whatever language this movie would have been taken, only Mammotty will fit in this role.
