പ്രതികാര ദാഹിയാണ് ലൂക്ക്. പെരുമാറ്റം കാണുമ്പോള്‍ ഒരു സൈക്കോയെ പോലെ തോന്നും. webdunia.

വളരെ ദുരൂഹത നിറഞ്ഞ രീതിയില് ഒപ്പം പ്രേക്ഷകരില് സംശയം ജനിപ്പിച്ചുകൊണ്ട് ലൂക്ക് ആന്റണി എന്ന കഥാപാത്രത്തെ മമ്മൂട്ടി മികച്ചതാക്കിയിട്ടുണ്ട്. ലൂക്കിന്റെ ശത്രുക്കള് ആരെല്ലാം? ലൂക്കിന്റെ ഉദ്ദേശ ലക്ഷ്യം എന്താണ്? പ്രവചിക്കാവുന്ന കഥ എന്നതും സിനിമയുടെ ആസ്വാദനത്തെ ബാധിക്കുന്നുണ്ട്. ഇത് സിനിമയുടെ പ്രധാനപ്പെട്ട നെഗറ്റീവ് വശമാണ്. ലൂക്കിന്റെ വരവിലും പിന്നീടുള്ള പ്രവൃത്തികളിലും ദുരൂഹത തളം കെട്ടി നില്ക്കുന്നുണ്ട്.

Rorschach movie review Mammootty. ഹോളിവുഡ് മികവിൽ ഒരു മമ്മൂട്ടി ചിത്രം. റോഷാക്കിലെ പ്രതീക്ഷകൾ.

എന്നും പുതുമ തേടുന്ന കണ്ണുകളുമായി മലയാള സിനിമയെ ഉറ്റുനോക്കുന്നവർക്ക് തങ്ങളുടെ തെരഞ്ഞെടുപ്പ് തെറ്റിയില്ല എന്ന് പറഞ്ഞു കൊണ്ട് ഈ സിനിമ കണ്ടിറങ്ങാം എന്ന് ഉറപ്പ് തരാം. ഈ ചലച്ചിത്രകാരന്റെ റേഞ്ച് എന്തായിരുന്നു എന്ന് അന്നാരും തന്നെ നിനച്ചിരിക്കാൻ സാധ്യതയില്ല. പേര് കേട്ടപ്പോൾ മുതൽ എന്താണിത് എന്ന് പലരും ഇന്റർനെറ്റിനെ അരിച്ചുപെറുക്കി പരതിയെടുത്ത ഒരു മമ്മൂട്ടി (Mammootty) ചിത്രം ബിഗ് സ്ക്രീനിൽ എത്തിയിരിക്കുന്നു. എന്നാൽ പേര് മാത്രമല്ല, സിനിമ ഇറങ്ങുമ്പോഴും ഇതിനു മുൻപെങ്ങും കണ്ടും കേട്ടും പരിചയമില്ലാത്ത ഒരു ദൃശ്യാനുഭവം ടിക്കറ്റ് എടുത്ത് ബിഗ് സ്ക്രീനിൽ കണ്ണുംനട്ടിരിക്കുന്ന പ്രേക്ഷകർക്ക് നൽകും എന്ന് നിശ്ചയിച്ചുറപ്പിച്ച ഒരു സിനിമ, അതാണ് 'റോഷാക്ക്'. ഈ പറഞ്ഞ കുറ്റവാളി മരിച്ചാലും അയാളിലെ പ്രതികാരാഗ്നി കെട്ടടങ്ങിയില്ലെങ്കിലോ? ഈ ചോദ്യം കേട്ടപ്പോൾ മനസ്സിലൂടെ ചിലതെല്ലാം കടന്നുപോയോ?

'Rorschach' is an effective psychological thriller that has its imperfections, just like the test that it draws its name from, but it is nevertheless an ...

Sameer’s script is woven around a revenge story, but the weaving is so deft and novel that the revenge part is hidden underneath some interesting layers. It flows through a set of characters who all have their own intentions, from a man who senses an opportunity and uses it when he sees the rich man on an extended stay to search for his wife, to the policeman who dreams of a share in the pie when he unearths some murky dealings, and Sujatha (Grace Antony), who has an immense ability of self-preservation. But, as the search operation progresses, doubts crop up on whether the woman has actually gone missing or even whether she is a figment of his imagination.

Review of Rorschach The exciting thing about Rorschach, the new film from Nissam Basheer starring Mammootty, is that it makes you believe that you have ...

Rorschach never spoon-feeds you to fill in all the blanks by explaining everything. In the movie’s posters, one can see several patterns which represent the emotional state of an individual in a Rorschach test. Grace Antony pulls off a very confident performance in this film as Sujatha, and in her combination scenes with Mammootty, it was a joy to see her as that character. And I really loved the way he handled that montage towards the climax, which created so much curiosity around the intent of Luke Antony. The geography, the color palette, etc., plays a very key role in setting the mood for this psychological thriller, and he makes sure that it never feels like a staged location like a Bhansali film. And that allows Rorschach to enter the paranormal/supernatural space.

A strange man comes to a village with a revengeful mind. The basic plot of Mammootty-starrer Rorschach is something that has been explored in world cinema ...

It also takes the approach of hiding the antagonist—Dileep— behind a mask, even though there have been multiple close-up shots that reveal who is the actor who played the role of Dileep. In Rorschach, his character is literally in the ‘dark’ for almost the entire stretch of the film. What the film’s title has to do with its plot or narrative is another question that came to the mind of this writer after watching the FDFS. This writer failed to capture the connection this test (or the title) has with the storyline. But the narrative did not help this writer to understand whether the presence of those elements can be attributed to the protagonist’s psychiatric issues. The basic plot of Mammootty-starrer Rorschach is something that has been explored in world cinema multiple times.

Director Nissam puts his powerful women characters in the ordinary garbs of village women, behaving like the typical mother or grieving wife, but exposing ...

He lets grief flicker past his face, and instead shows a curious interest in the pursuit of someone. The title can be attributed to the concept it originated from – a psychological test performed through inkblots. He brings chills to the screen by simply moving about the dark house, quick flashes and passing figures doing the rest of the job. His main interest is in the house of Dileep, a young man who had died two years ago in an accident, but left a lot of goodwill, a company and a house for the family. Nimish Ravi’s camera zooms out to show Luke as a speck of contrast against the lovely colours of nature. The stunts are easy on the eye and Mammootty displays a calmness even when he fights.

Rorschach seems to relish its dark energy and revel in its gothic environment, just like its principal protagonist.

That said, the film has its share of moments where the characters say things that guide us, but at the same time, the script is careful not to say it all at once and ruin the fun. Speaking of fun, for a film about unlikeable characters and tragic events, Rorschach is not overwhelmingly depressing -- at least, not for me. In that sense, its behaviour is similar to that of a Western. By the time we get to the finale, most of these characters evolve into people they were not at the story's beginning. I'm only sure of mine: fulfilling, not only because it tickled the film buff in me that loves an unconventional genre fusion but also because the makers have pulled it off without making it seem too inaccessible. I found the concept interesting, and I was curious not only to see how director Nisam Basheer -- who made his debut with the polarising Kettyolaanu Ente Malakha -- would pull it off but also how Kerala audiences would react to it.

Rorschach review: Mammootty magnificently embodies the psychological condition of a man with bottomless vengeance.

What if you are ready to thrust your arms to the depths of hell and pull out the very soul of the person that wronged you and then subject him to more pain and torture? While he shows shades of goodness, his insidiousness and malevolence are hard to forgive. Her character transformation is dizzying, especially the final reveal that brings out the main source of this unfathomable pain and suffering is jaw-dropping. And he goes to great lengths to achieve it. His revenge doesn’t just want to end the life of his enemy but defile every memory that he ever left behind on earth. How can one review a film like Rorschach without spoiling certain aspects of the movie?
