Its been long
since I wrote a post, I thought when I write again I didn’t want it to be a
movie review. But this movie had affected me so much that I had to write a post – Diamond Necklace.
I got this
movie via a friend almost 2 months back, but was too lazy to watch it or the
fact that it was not a tamil movie or a English movie made me hesitant, but somehow
yesterday morning I forced myself to watch it.
Immediately I
got hooked with the story and characterization of the hero. First I would like to
sincerely appreciate the director for creating a hero character full of flaws
till the end, in between I got doubt while watching, whether the hero was
actually a hero or a villain.
But Malayalam
cinema once again proved itself to be down to earth,simple & truthful to
its own self.
The story starts
with the hero Dr arun Freaking himself out in dubai with his friends, enjoying and spending
money lavishly - a cool mallu dude, I was wholeheartedly disappointed with the
start, what is this?!!!
Its not a typical hero introduction scene for a Malayalam movie,
for tamil its okay, but not for Malayalam, but eventually the movie gripped me
so much, I was desperate to finish it off before going to office.
The hero Dr
Arun is having huge financial trouble due to his lavish lifestyle and
uncontrollable expenses of a bachelor who lives alone in a different
country. In the mean time, he falls in
love with a nurse Lakshmi in his work place, must talk about this girl, she has
got beautiful eyes and extra ordinarily
believable acting skills, wish tamil cinema would use her for non- commercial
roles.
Typically the
hero and heroin enjoy their newly found love, there is a song, end of it they
will make love, oh god, here I thought,
okay, that’s pretty decent, he would marry the girl.
That is where
the director keeps a twisting point , where the hero was forced to go back to
kerala due to his mother’s illness and gets married to one more girl with money. And just calls the heroine (the first
heroine) to say that he is sorry.Holy shit, i didn't like it! :)
2nd
heroine of this movie is the niece of Dr savithri called maya in this movie, very
pretty girl who was given a very sad role, she had done a beautiful job of
convincing us of her illness and practically throwing herself at a man of her
liking, feeling guilty when she had
slept with the hero when she comes to know that he is married, but fights life and her
disease like a demon.
Beautifully crafted character and I liked the way they had made her character in the end, a girl who sheds all her guilty consciousness and focuses only on the present, neither the past nor the future, just the present. Very good.

3rd
heroine of this movie is the hero’s wife, they made her look like a money
sucking bitch, but I wouldn’t agree with that, she was casual creature who just
lives her life happily without any expectations or demands from anyone except
her loved one’s. Her character is the best among the three, she impressed me a
lot, because this girl is without any precautions or predictions, she lives her life just the
way it is, happy when she is happy, sad when she is sad, neither conniving
not judgmental. Loved her.
And here
comes a supporting character which played by
actress rohini, such simple and elegant acting as Dr savithri, she is no less
than her late husband Mr raguvaran, very impressed with her characterization
and the elegance of which she had carried her character throughout the movie.
Finally the
hero/ Villain/human/thief/confused youngster/womanizer etc….all in one box,
pretty big job for fahad faizal huh!!!
Man this guy can rule Malayalam cinema,
he has got charm, he has got great smile, he has got pain in the eyes, he has
got great acting skills, he has got beautiful nazriya, lucky her. Coming back
to his nature in this movie, I was mesmerized; I have never
seen such a hero character in my indian movie watching experience, ever!
Totally he
makes love to 3 women, he ditches 2, he cheats his wife, he is behind money, he
flirts with the Bank manager lady and he is not even guilty, who would like
such nature?
Must be honest here, I did. Preposterous isn’t it?

He is human with mistakes and to
the outside world he lives a perfect life, but inside he is one screwed up
person with unbelievable flaws.
Flaws can be made into positives and there is a possibility every situation can be corrected despite the worst time of the situation.

No human in this world is bad unless the situations arises -was an
excellent message from this movie
Bottom line
:- I loved Diamond necklace (Malayalam) and I highly recommend for everyone to
watch it..its worth it.
I must
congratulate the director of this movie, he has done an extra ordinary job of
making even a small character so real & convincing. I had a great time watching it.
You don’t have
to be a malayalee to watch it, download it with subtitles to enjoy the realm of
Malayalam cinema.
