Meesa Madhavan

Language : Malayalam
Category : Drama
Year of Release : 2002
Rating / Certification : U


Review
'Meesa Madhavan', the latest Dileep starrer, has hit the theatres at a time when even superstar films like 'Onnaaman' and 'Phantom' are struggling at the box office. This relatively low-budget film directed by Lal Jose is likely to emerge a hit and re-iterate Dileep's position as the only minimum guarantee star in Malayalam now. Dileep excels as Madhavan. He succeeds in satisfying his fans. Kavya Madhavan as Rugmini, Jagathy Sreekumar as Bhageerathan Pillai and the others in the cast have essayed their roles well. Indrajit, who somehow didn't get as noticed as he should have been in 'Oomapenninu Uriyaadaapayyan', seems to hog the limelight as Eappan Pappachi. He does his part with panache. Art-director Joseph Nellikkal, cinematographer S.Kumar and director Lal Jose have canned some really spectacular shots in Pollachi and other picturesque locations. The songs shot in these locations, though colourful, seem more like Tamil songs rather than Malayalam ones, owing to the fast music by Vidyasagar and the choreography by Prasannan. The songs penned by Gireesh Puthencherry could get very popular. The film, in total, is a full-length entertainer, but could have been a 'cleaner' entertainer if some of the vulgar scenes and double-edged dialogues had been avoided.


Story Line
Madhavan, a young man, turns into a thief very early in life, under unique circumstances. In due course, he comes to be known as 'Meesa' Madhavan, a do-gooder like Robin Hood. Whatever the villagers need, he 'steals' it for them and therefore is loved by all... except moneylender Bhageerathan Pillai, who fears him the most. Bhageerathan Pillai and his aide Thrivikraman try their best to get Madhavan trapped, but in vain. When Bhageerathan Pillai's young daughter Rugmini comes from town after completing her studies, she joins her father in devising ways to trap Madhavan. However, she soon realizes Madhavan's good nature and changes her mind. With the arrival of the villainous Sub-Inspector of Police, Eappan Papachi, things take a totally new turn.


my cousin in india told me that meesha madhavan is doing very well at the box office right now. PLEASE DONT SAY CRAP, S.

  i saw kuberan..to be honest, i hated it. cant believe that a great director like sunderdas could make such a thara movie. ooma penninu sucked soooooo bad. the story sucked, the direction sucked, music was okay and the only good thing about it was jaya surya. he was pretty good.

  kuberan is a box office flop as far as i know.. anyway leave it... sallapam was written by Lohithadas, that is the reason... meesa madhav songs are good to hear.

  Meesha Madhavan is the biggest flop of this year. Dont utter nonsense Frizzy, Jibi, I saw the film yesterday from Chithravani Theatre, Telicherry. I lost valuable 30 Rs . Almost all the seats in theatres are vacant. I go to the film just 5 minutes before the show time. Eventhough it is released just 3 days back, i got the ticket without any difficulty. Some scnese are very vulgar and not opt for family audience. Dileep's acting SUCKS. The only relief is the acting of Jagathy and Kavya. The film will be a big loss to the producers, that is sure.

  MEESHA MADHAVAN has a good story . But we will not be able to predict if it will be a hit . People in kerala , if they dont watch , then MEESHA MADHAVAN is out of case . But most probably they will see. Last year ( 2001 ) July 6th EE PARAKKUM THALIKA released & it was a superhit . Students had cut their classes to see the movie . I hope MEESHA MADHAVAN becomes a hit .

  meesha madhavan adipoly.music is also good by vidyasagar. It has a goos story. The story we never heard or seen before. I like salimkumar(advocate)when he comes to the police station and say freaking english and at the end he say "just remeber that"(suresh gopi)
