Rahulraj has always been my favourite..but yes this one album from him has given me a million more reasons to look upto the musician in him...Never thought that one 'just another' saturday would be made something unforgettable coz of the movie and the song 'Pularumo'... Malayalam songs have not lost their charm yet... I won't agree with those who say that...recently could get my hands on the song 'Mizhithammil' from the movie 'Minnaminnikkottam' (thanks to Manu..my musician friend and an awesome human being)..Biji Bal is another wow musician.. Talking about 'Ritu'..it is all about the changing seasons of life. All those transitions captured in one frame.. subtle.. gentle.. and poetic... there is no jazz.. there is nothing loud about the movie..it is as gentle as the waves in a river... those ripples in water.. it is like holding a mirror against your life and watching it through the frame... the very reflection of the changes that every person goes through..
'Pularumo' is haunting... one song which will touch your soul and make you experience love...passion and compassion... the pain...the feeling of belonging... it is just an amazing composition..Rafeeq Ahmed is a discovery for me...he has done a fab job with lyrics.. just brilliant! Gayathri chechi and Sujith are just beyond comparison...just the right amount of emotions in the way they have rendered their voices to make the song a complete experience..soul stirring and mesmerizing

Seasons do change... do we?? Well... such a loaded question to ask..I have always felt it is a wonderful transition..how we pass through each phase of life...just as the way seasons change...Sometimes...days and years passed by like a flash of lightening..yet they crawled along so slowly as I lived them..sometimes we wish somethings never changed...just to preserve them the way they are...the way they have always been..we just wish..but I feel change is always good... depending on which direction are you going..as you move on you discover your inner self... the real you...Life too follows seasonal rhythms..after every gray of winter there is a spring which showers life into the earlier frozen soul...
Like the boatman in the movie says..."This tree which came with the flow of the river from some unknown place...still sheds its leaves thinking its autumn always..." yes it is all about our perceptions... how we view things..I have always longed for a magnifying lens that can view other people's perspective :) life would have been much more simpler then :) we need to navigate the seasons of life and heart...and as Kahlil Gibran says " And you would accept the seasons of your heart just as you have always accepted that seasons pass over your fields and you would watch with serenity through the winters of your grief..."
"Let seasons have no fixed returns..at noon our sudden summer burns..and sunset is all snow..."

seasons change...but do we?? yup we do.. we must is what i would like to say.. where is the fun if we remian the same and is always predictable..
people love the change from the winter to the spring but jus cant digest it vice versa..
Only the good seasonal changes are accepted.. thats the tough part abt life...
Right post at the right seasonal change...tc.
@ Raj
Thanks a ton :) stay blessed
the song pularumo is really haunting and i felt it as the only consoling and satisfying part of Rithu though the movie keeps the usual poetic touch of shyam Sir... i always admire shyam sir for his brilliance in film making.But this time a bit sad as i truly felt it as a bit over lagging.:-( may be he wanted it in that way....
There are many reasons why I liked this movie.
I loved the music.
I loved the cinematography.
I loved the dialogues. Its very natural.
And above all I could easily relate myself to Sarat Varma. One who still lives in the shadows of his memories, one who fails to move with the world, one who is not ready to accept the fact that his friends are not the same anymore (but still love them for who they were), one who wanted to be creative but ended up doing “the-software-job”, one who always want to go back to his home, one who considers his loved ones above all & one who believes in true love.
And my favorite dialogue, “It’s about true-love. If there is no truth there is no love”.

@ Recluse
:) It was poetic... so I just ignored the lag :) Kudos to Shyam sir ...
@ Subin
Agree with you totally :)what ever little I have known :) for me the statement which hit my senses hard was that one..THE TREE SHEDDING LEAVES EVEN AT A STRANGE PLACE..it conveyed volumes...
stay blessed!
when asked to explain relativity in simple terms einstein had said -
an hour sitting with a pretty girl passes like a minute, but a minute sitting on a hot stove seems like an hour :)
much like how we feel that winters of despair are a crawl, and spring simply sprints away!
out of sheer curiosity i might try and catch the movie sometime!
Chechi !!
"Venal Kaatil" is too gud too :)
