Finally got a chance to watch the current buzz of mollywood Kaathal -The Core movie starring Mammotty , Jyothika directed by Jeo Baby who had made movies like The Great Indian Kitchen . Aadarsh Sukumaran one of the writers in this movie has acted too in a prominent role. This movie talks about homosexuality . There are many movies made on LGBTQ topic. This movie has covered it in a different perspective altogether. Credit goes to the writers Aadarsh and Paulson Skaria who have covered this subject brilliantly without showing any vulgar scenes, vulgar comments/dailogue , love scenes very neatly and conventionally conveyed the message and tried to show the emotions that they go thru in their life. Matthew Devassy (Mammootty) is forced to contest a by-elections in gram panchayat however the entire village comes to know about a divorce case which was filed by his wife (Jyothika) this case and the reason for that shatters Mathews world. Sudhi Kozhikode who did the role of Thankan acted brilliantly. He is shown as Mammoottys gay partner. There is not a single scene where they exchange any dialogues yet their emotions , respect and love is potrayed superbly Both Mathew and Thankan go thru lot of humiliation , desperation, inability to convey their feeling's and both the actors have shown their emotions brilliantly. Mammootty shines in some of emotional scenes especially when he speaks to his father towards the end asking him why did you forced me to get married, why did u think I will be alright after marriage?.. how I spolied the life of a girl for past 20 years Many a time our society and parents don't give too much consideration to such issues faced by their sons and daughters which leads them to live a forced life. Their entire life they live for others and not for themselves. I liked the way Jyothikas character sticks to go ahead for divorce even with so much pressure from family members and society and she explains it is for both her and the husband to live their life freely as they want. Some scenes will surely make you cry that's the brilliance of the actors and directors Watch it for Mammoottys performance it's all in all his show.he is the king of emotions.just brilliant at this age and with this stardom doing a role like this is worth appreciating. Brilliant direction by Joe Baby typical his style of close up shots, showing some unspoken words, cinematic techniques to show emotions, lights , shadows visually showing complex relationships. Just wow 👌 Another gem of a movie from Mammootty Kampany this production house is giving some good hits this year to mollywood. This movie will surely be there in the list of best movies in 2023 for acting, story and direction. It will surely live for a long time in theaters and in OTT. Hope the makers show this movie in different languages when it's ready for OTT. A very good movie to watch #MammoottyKampany #Mammootty #kathalmovie #kathalthecore #Jyothika #malayalammoviestowatch #malayalammoviereview Adarsh Sukumaran #AdarshSukumaran #JeoBaby #PaulsonSkaria #mammoottyfans.

Despite gradual progress in recent times, a deep-seated reluctance to openly discuss LGBTQ issues persists within the Indian sociocultural landscape. While more LGBTQ+ characters are appearing in Indian films, some portrayals have been criticized for being superficial and lacking authenticity. While it's encouraging that mainstream media is acknowledging LGBTQ+ issues, true progress will only be achieved when these portrayals move beyond tokenism and explore the complexities of LGBTQ+ experiences in a genuine and meaningful way. One such film which is Kaathal spearheaded and produced by the GOAT. Coming to this film, in the heart of a tranquil village in Kottayam district of Kerala, Mathew Devassy (Mammootty), a seasoned man plunges into the fray of a byelection in his local gram panchayat, driven by the directives of his Leftist party. He dives headfirst into the political arena as the election fervor intensifies. However, a seismic revelation shatters Mathew's carefully constructed world - his wife, Omana (Jyotika), has initiated divorce proceedings, alleging in her filings that her husband is a homosexual. The story navigates through the conflict of personal struggles as he confronts unforgiving societal expectations and the fragility of human relationships around him. This setups for Matthew opening himself up to the world he had left behind, embracing the complexities of his identity and leading him to confront the societal prejudices that have long confined him. This thought-provoking film breaks away from conventional expectations, showcasing Mammootty's versatility and dedication to his craft. His willingness to take on unconventional roles further cements his status as a cinematic legend and allowing Jyothika and rest of the characters to shine alongside him. Jyothika's performance is arguably one of her best in recent years, despite occasional dubbing issues. Applauds are due to director Jeo Baby, Adarsh Sukumaran, Paulson Skaria, and the entire Kaathal team for crafting this remarkable film. While its unhurried pace might not appeal to everyone, I found myself captivated by the story's organic unfolding, devoid of the need for external validation. Kaathal rewards its viewers with exceptional performances and a thought-provoking narrative, demonstrating its brilliance in its simplicity.

Kathal is a significant step forward in Malayalam cinema. Its nuanced approach and sensitive handling of the subject matter make it a must-watch for anyone seeking an insightful and thought-provoking film. Mammooty delivers a powerful performance , capturing the character's internal struggles and vulnerability with remarkable sensitivity. Sudhi Kozhikode is equally impressive as Thankan, bringing a quiet strength and dignity to the role. Jyothika's performance as wife, feels somewhat wooden and underdeveloped, except for the last scene. Jyothika appeared too urban and the stone face she put up in the movie did not contribute much. The actor Sudhi Kozhikode who has done the character Thankan is a promise for Malayalam cinema. The 2 kids and other side actors also have done well. Mammooty stands tall for taking up this movie and its production.

Kaathal The Core (2023) :. Brief Review - Isn't it too late to call it a gutsy/taboo-breaking movie? But there are still two strong factors to consider: Marriage and Mammooty. Maybe it has become a trend to make films on LGBTQ issues nowadays since the writers have got 377 approved from the Supreme Court. Anything before that would have been really taboo-breaking, in my opinion. It's just about Indian cinema; otherwise, Hollywood and some foreign cinema industries made films on homosexuality many decades ago. We are just too late. In the last 6-7 years, we have seen some really good attempts on these issues, but I don't know why they have started looking very typical and boring nowadays, to me at least. Almost every year, there will be at least one movie trying to tell the same agony, and the problem is that the majority of the audience doesn't care about it because they don't belong to that community. Kaathal is again the same subject, but it has a fresh layer of marriage. I can recollect some episodes of Saavdhan India from the story, which eventually went on to fetch criminal directions. Here, Kaathal tries to be sensible and less talkative about it. At the end, we all know what happens. The rainbow frame might please some people (like I said, a certain community), but others may not get any emotional kick out of it. But as I mentioned, there is a fresh layer of marriage, so there are chances of some changes in society. Many married women, married men, and their in-laws might get some teaching from Kaathal and make their lives happy. The other solid factor is, of course, Mammootty. The legend plays a tough part, which 99% of superstars would reject. But he accepted it. Why? Because he is Mammootty. Not any ordinary, massy superstar with no legacy. Jyotika also looks solid beside him. Jeo could have made it shorter. The film is unnecessarily slow. But as a whole, it's a good watch. Nothing great, though. RATING - 6/10* By - #samthebestest.

This movie hits you right in the feels! Mammootty tackling such a deep subject is just on another level. Huge shoutout to him and the director for making us feel every bit of the emotions alongside the cast. Absolutely lived through the pain with them! A cinematic gem crafted in silence. The final two scenes involving his father and wife are strikingly authentic, capturing the essence of natural, raw emotion. To all those silently enduring this pain, a mainstream actor tackling this subject has the potential to reshape societal perspectives on these struggles. It shouldn't end with Mammootty; every actor should find the courage to openly confront these issues.
