Any one knows about Malyalam Film Makaramanju (2010-2011) ??

From the description it seems like an eye candy cinematography film.


IMDB shows it's status as "Completed" (perhaps not commercially released yet ??) and Santosh Sivan as the male lead. Is it the same Santosh Sivan, the famous cinematographer known for so many excellent cinematography films ??

From the description it seems like an eye candy cinematography film.

It's showing in Ottawa (CFI) on Sunday Aug 21 @ 7 PM.

Thanks Bhaskar.

Looks like a good film. (Lucky that it's showing in my town and moreover it's free screening).
It seems that this film is still making Film Festivals rounds and still to be commercially rleased.

The review link you posted also answers my inq that it's the ace cinmatgrapher Santosh Sivan, in the male lead.

Quote:
The background score plays an important part in keeping up the mood of the film. Lenin also extracts highly competent performances from debutant Santosh Sivan, the ace cinematographer, as Raja Ravi Varma/Pururavas


------------------------------
There was a similar film Rang Rasiya. Whatever happened to that one ?? Did it ever release or it's DVD came out ??

Rang Rasiya finally released in theatres commercially, 3-4 weeks ago and did get a chance to see it at PVR Director's Cut (Delhi). Wow! what a film experience. Can't make up my mind whether the theatre tops or the film. Both were par excellent. How can this film go ignored, beats me.

Real life story true to real events and so interesting. For film fans interested in Indian Film Industry, the father of Indian Film Industry, Dada Saheb Falke is one of the characters in the film.

Excellent music and of course excellent cinematography.

Must See if you get a chance.

--------------------------------------------------
The film has been shown in some / many International Film Festivals and I think it won a few awards too. Critically acclaimed but no takers in India.

----------------------------------------------------
I had seen a boot leg (pirated/ leaked/ cheater) copy of Rang Rasiya on DVD a few years back. That was no close to this theatrical presentation.
