99.99 children from kerala has lived this childhood
It is applies to each indian most prolly
kids in India who lived in villages too
I didn't jump in a lake bro 😂
What do u mean? 99.99 children fell in holes?
Bro what only kerala.
Here in north Uttar pradesh i had the similar childhood and i remember clearly jumping in the lake and river half naked as child.
The river was indeed harder to swim than lake or pond due to current yet it was so much fun.😊😊
When Achara cried , Jaby laughed at her. When Jaby cried , Achara consoled him.😂😂😂
boys😁😁
That is Jaby’s defence mechanism, acting funny…
Yep
Jaby created that laugh. Coz he could get cry by seeing her crying
I think that's how girls are made up of
They actually built a Set of Guna Cave in Ernakulam. That's how they shot most of the cave scenes. hails to the art director.
Damn that's insane, kudos for the dedication
@@Greenflag2288 no bro
No need of your explanation
@@sreegovind8176then why read this comment
@@sreegovind8176who are you to say that?
Actually, the whole incident is a big deal because Subash is the ONLY person known to have survived the fall...and by luck his pants got caught on the rock which is why he was at a reachable depth. The cave goes waaaay deeper and has never been mapped. People have gone in on purpose as well...again...out of the 16 reported cases, this is the one and only case of survival.
he was stuck on the same belt which he took from his brother. They edited it due to the length
@@rejul2005 He said in an interview that it was his pants getting stuck on a sharp end of the ledge...in the movie they make it seem like friction helped him
@@MindBlinged It was his belt. I Was part of the documentary we made on them 5 years back
@@MindBlinged it's the belt of his brother. That's why the scene with the belt came earlier in the movie. But they removed it as it was difficult to establish in the dark.
It was the belt which he borrowed from his brother. But since it was difficult to potray that with dark colored belt and dark environment, they decided not to shoot it.
In an interview the Director said he couldn't highlight the part where he was hanging on the edge because of his brothers belt that he borrowed at the start of the movie.
Wow. The detail is just crazy. This is pure art
@@AmeyaP77 The details were on point because this is a real incident happened.
Even In real He clothes were all Teared fully naked he got Only The Belt That saved him in real story.
Feeling Proud to see this reaction.. as a guy from tamilnadu... Our brothers from kerala has the best films best landscapes and well suited music..
Thank you😊❤love from Kerala
They treat us like shits...why are you feeling proud for them..
@@bluestocking123 That's your wrong understanding bro, I have many Tamil friends ..we call each other. macha......
No brother. We do not think like that. May be you mistaken.@@bluestocking123
@@bluestocking123that's why tamil movies make hits in Malayalam box office
That silence when he feell into the cave was one if my favorite parts. That's how you will feel when something that shocking happens. World freezes.
I like when the stone fell into that hole and the echo keeps on coming. Man imagine hearing that. That would have been chilling
Actually the Kamal Hasan song is about the (love beyond understanding) and it's very famous...so they used it to show love for their friendship..
Yes.. the song had a good connection stating how it not only applies to lovers but also to close friends
No the song was shot in that cave thats why it is used in this movie too
They made it so good that I felt all of his trauma. The day I watched this movie, I was so immersed that I couldn't sleep that night
Me too
I was so scared for the whole week
I even got a nightmare 2 months later😂
Me too. I kept having the stuck in cave dream .

Same here😢

Yesss
Aaveshammmmm
Yess
The caves were originally called devil's kitchen ,also had different names but after Kamals movie "GUNA" which was exclusively shot there,the cave was famously called the Guna cave.The song in the beginning is from the movie Guna which is about a mentally disturbed person or mentally ill person writing a letter to his imaginary girl expressing his mad love.The song takes place in the cave, where guna actually abducted a girl believing it to his imaginary girlfriend.The song actually ends half way in the title card and resumes from where subash is rescued.The context of placing the song there is symbolise love even if its between friends.Also the director and crew were huge fans of Kamal Hasan as theyve mentioned throughout.Hope this gives some insight to jaby about the song placement 🤟
I think Jaby missed the fact that the same song plays again during the rescue and it’s mentioned a few times during the movie. Also the song holds a deep cultural impact and with how they placed it towards the climax, the lyrics were given a new meaning.
adei, it is only because of Ilaiyaraja the climax scene got elevated. Without IR, the climax would have been very ordinary and the movie definitely wouldn't have been a blockbuster in TN & KL. So before giving credits to kamal, give credits to IR.
@@seshadrir2057 so the bgm, cinematography etx is not world class. Havent even seen such quality in film production in other south Indian movies recently except Malayalam.
Fun fact:
The dirt on Subash's clothes is actually a paste of ''OREO'' cookies 😂
no way 😂
What 😂
Yeah they said in an interview
@@MrCool842ya director itself revealed it😅
Yes...😂 Prosthetic makeup...
I heard somewhere that ...in 1st half of the film these actors play tug of war with the other group members actually they are the manjummel boys in real life ..... director included them in the film as well
Yes,it's true
@@shabeermt4389 Even you can find them in the first marriage song.... they were dancing along with the movie characters. The guy with yellow shirt white circle spots is subhash (fell in the cave) and some black / dark purple shirt is the guy who rescued. You can see them in the quarrel.
Yup
The inside of the cave was not the real cave or cgi. It was the set designed by Ajayan Challisery. Even the tree they climbed on and took a photo was a set. So realistic set design. 🔥🔥
Hello there, it's not all practical. There was a lot of CGI added in these cave scenes. The upper part of the cave had a massive CGI extension. And the depth of the cave was also extended in CGI a lot. I can confirm that because I did those CGI environments inside the cave which bhasi is stuck on.
Not everything is a practical effect. yes there was a set, but we had to extend it a lot in CGI.
Thank you!
Also, our official VFX CGI breakdown is coming soon!!
@@miserablevfx Yeah, it's understandable. 😊
@@miserablevfx yes there are some CGI VFX used in the inside cave shots, that has admitted by the director himself, but other than that all are made by the art team. they have built the whole cave and the inside cave as three parts 1. Upper part where all the friends and rescue team scenes were shot. 2. inside cave were builded as 2 sections ( each sections had a height of 45 feet each) cave entry and bottom where subhash found.
The actors who are playing cops characters are from Tamil actors and two or three have been in the original guna caves, even they were stating in a interview that if they came to the set blindfolded they would have would have believed that they are in original guna caves.
The Total budget of the movie was apr. 20 crores INR and out of which around 5- 6 Crores used for the setwork.
So majority of the film have practical effects. Please go through some of the behind-the-scenes of the movie.
@@monsanu7 I appreciate your comment but I worked in this movie. I myself designed the CGI cave part which Subhash is trapped in. For more details, we are releasing our VFX breakdown very soon!
And I like how people didn't even recognise it and praise the practical effects. We really wanted our VFX and CGI to be as invisible as possible and I guess we won in that case!!!
Obviously But imagine the real incident is real ..that's more dangerous than it
and the composer is Sushin Shyam. Real Magician with emotions
15:51 It's not CGI, they had created a replica of the Guna cave in an abandoned godown in Perumbavoor, located in Kerala, in order to shoot the scenes inside the cave and the pit that Subhash fell into. You guys should watch the making video of this film.
This is a movie based on a true incident that happened in 2006 when a group of young people who had gone on an excursion from Kerala to Kodaikanal in Tamil Nadu visited Guna Cave on their way back from the excursion. So you'd better watch the interviews with the real people in this story as well.
It's happened in 2006
Cg extension added later
The middle portion is only the real thing remaining all its CGi.
And there are so many extensions added like its only half production set .
Soon we will release the vfx breakdown.
Hello there, I'm the guy who did the majority of underground cave CGI of this movie..just wanted to confirm that the inner part of the cave was not fully practical. There was only a small part which was practical and everything else was CGI.
The rocks which are so close to the characters and the ones which they are interacting with are practical... Ain't explaining more details because our official VFX-CGI breakdown video is coming soon!!!
Also, glad that you didn't notice it was CGI!!!

@@Sura_tv yeah,they like their extra makeup cgi actors and their cringe comedies with item songs and stupid stories
@@pinkpanther6228 Oo athan evanmar oke evden erangi varna ano entho
The romantic song in the beginning is the most important aspect of the movie, not only because the original song was shot in the cave and that's what made them go there in the first place, but mainly because of the lyrics "It is not mere mortal love that humans understand, it is beyond that, it is divine love." Fits in perfectly when his friend chooses to risk his own life to save his friend, that's the highest form of love and not everyone can experience that. I am more deeply moved by the movie because of the song and its lyrics, without that, I don't think it would have had the same impact on me.
Thanks a lot for mentioning the importance of the song and I echo the same. The scene where they finally come out of the cave and then this song being played at that core moment hit me so hard and I couldn't control my tears! Now in this reaction, I was watching Jaby talking about how this song kinda' disconnected him from the scene, I was going mad that I'm not able to stop him and tell him this! You know what I mean, haha! :D But yeah, thanks for this and I hope they read your comment or somehow do their research about it and appreciate it better :)
@@nikhilchamarty93 I know! I usually don't comment on videos or reels, but the minute Jaby said he didn't understand why this song was used, I just had to make it clear especially when this movie and the song are all I've been thinking about since I watched the movie a few days ago. Glad to know you feel the same way too :)
@@kruthikanataraj1830 why do you need white ppl validation for ur day to day acitivities? arent u shameless
Exactly.....but I am glad that they really liked and appreciated the movie without even understanding the song that's how raw the film was ...really appreciate the director....But just imagine how high would have been the feeling of us seeing the movie connecting the song....They missed that
meh.
The greatness of the epilogue is that after Subash's mom berated Siju (Soubin Shahir) for being responsible for Subash's injuries, Siju almost accepted that he would be hated for eternity, despite his selfless act. Hence, Subash's mother reconciling with Siju made way for a heart-touching moment.
The term "unsung hero" couldn't be more apt.
The song is relevant, because in a way it talks about their friendship which is “beyond mortal love”
@@user-oi8bc4gl9u yeah but these folks were not huge fans of the song, even in real life I think that was not the case. They were just there in the wrong place at the wrong time. In the movie, yes it plays a part. But the phrase “This is not human love for mortals to understand “ has been used in the trailer as well as the key scene where he is getting rescued, it just exists to nail the point.
@@user-oi8bc4gl9u I’m saying from the story pov man. It is placed in the movie to give that emotional gut pull for us. Yes the song is the reason why folks go to that place, and the reason it’s no longer called devils kitchen, not disagreeing with you on that.
@@user-oi8bc4gl9u it’s not our job to tell anyone anything. Any art form will incite a different reaction from everyone. All you or I did was just share our perspective.
@@user-oi8bc4gl9u Seems like you have a deep emotional attachment/baggage wrt this song, definitely more than I do. I don’t really care to continue this discussion with a random stranger somewhere. And you clearly are looking for some argument.
So good luck.
Jaby that Kamal Hassan song in the beginning as a narration with animation and at the end during the rescue is something to connect to the local audience.
Because it was shot in the guna cave and it is Kamal Hassan's song from an old movie.
Also it had a deep meaning.
It's okay you guys didn't understand. But the south indians were hooked and felt emotional and nostalgic
The song had a good connect because in the original movie it's a love letter but here it's meant to say that's love is same for everyone and it applies to friendship as well. Even Kamal says the same thing in that video where he met the movie team
@@user-oi8bc4gl9u I think you're a proud Tamilian.
The movie could happen otherwise also. The song just amplifies the experience.
To shoot in the cave is fine. But to shoot the rescue scene from that hole is not possible. The camera and camera man can't go inside.
So hence the set.
You can't simply blame the makers for their approach. The team is making a movie, an experience not a documentary to document the guna caves.
The talk and collection is the result of that experience people got.
They used the technology to the best. No doubt. I don't understand what you're saying.
Kamal Hassan's coverage in the Guna movie is only in the guna cave. Not in the Devil's kitchen they are showing in this movie. And hence since it's a survival movie. The set is required. Otherwise the guna cave is not hard to show. The movie also shows how people can go to the caves.
Come on dude. No disrespect to Kamal Hassan or anything. You're not understanding the larger scope of things.
I also went to Kodaikanal. I didn't even know about the guna cave until the movie manjumel boys talked about that. So the movie Guna is not the only reason for the tourist attraction. It's also the news article of the original Manjumel boys.
....
The difference between other industry and malayalm is that, we try to dig deep into more details and characterisations.... Which makes Malayalam movies more natural and realistic.... Not like other industries are bad or something, they have their own way to shine and we have our own, most probably we just scope on the regional life and stories of people, so we can add more details and creative features,cause we have enjoyed that life and that could also make the movie more relatable.... Thank you for reacting this movie......try to watch more malayalam movies if you guys can.... May god bless you❤️🔥❤️🔥
i totally agree the level of ideas in Malayalam cinema is far ahead.
Imagine this was a telugu movie. They would have made an unnecessary item song in the beginning, cringe power dialogues and a lot of insufferable bgm to make it emotional
We made you cry. That is the beauty of malayalam cinema
😂 calm down man.
Cinemas of all languages have the ability to make audience cry.
@@veenakamat7390 soo
They have cried many times in bollywood movies too
I have cried watching Telugu stunt scenes lol. Doesn't compare with this
In India most of kids expect those grown up in big cities (like metro cities) live such childhood... Playful .. Lakes.. Buildings... Ponds... Rivers... 🙌
Yup
I would say even those kids like myself grown in metro cities have done these things too, it applies to kids who have frequently visited their native villages because they have friends there too. I had friends I visited my native every year and I have done these things except swimming. So I can connect with it.
the height and weight difference shown is actually pretty much accurate. the guy who fell was like 6 ft or smthn. its really unbelievable how someone of his size lifted up someone as big as subash
Malayali movies are so human it always very psychological human nature what makes this industry so ahead of other industry .
U guys missed the song from Guna while he was being pulled up in the climax. The reason why they went to the caves in the 1st place and the director placed that same old song in the climax...and the lyrics matched the situation
They didn't miss..It was there
It's a cutdown version bruhh
I think only malayalees and tamilians can really feel the emotions of that song. People who don't understand the language or history of that song maynot feel its significance
@@vaisakhgeethTelugu people as well...that song's veryy popular over here too.
Most beautiful part of the ending was that it depicted rebirth of shubhash, he was covered with blood like new born babies n was naked original one was for the movie they added pants part, rope symbolised of umbilical cord and cave opening is like female part from where he comes out so,the whole scene symbolised of rebirth. that was very interesting concept, i like that, one more thing i liked about this movie was when shubhash ask what is god n his friend reply that God is light and light fell upon him during rescue that scene was really very good. Hats off to the direction and salute to original manjummel boys who rescued there friends without thinking about themselves.
The movie's rescue portion was shot in a real set they built for the movie. Rest is all real places.
One of the best movies 2024,the actors, and the whole team did a great job , of portraiting the real life characters. This happened in 2006 and character subhash is still alive and healthy thanks to his friends.
24:39 fun fact : Thug of war isn't just a setup its like equivalent to how you feel about football there... People in kerala is very passionate about this sport.
Nope it isnt ...people feel about football more in kerala than in usa 😂there are literal murders and stabbings that happen during fan fights during worldcups esp in kannur and malabar area that govt has to even employ church and father to mediate 😂
@@prodigalfraudaddy-es1gl dear it went over your head what I was trying to convey... bro it's for them to understand.... something for them to figure out what its similar to... I never said football isnt Big in Kerala... and btw I was talking about American football 🏈
@@prodigalfraudaddy-es1gl he was talking about american football
I think they meant like the Superbowl not fifa @@prodigalfraudaddy-es1gl
The fact that filmmakers had nerf down original story to make it realistic is mind-boggling. Like they didn't have the pulley. The police took all of their money just enough that they could reach home. They met with an accident on their way back home.
32:08 That song is the soul of this movie. Sad that you guys didn't get it(but I can understand why) also happy that you guys loved the movie.
Do react to more Malayalam movies😌.
Foreigners dont get emotional for many things. Its hard to make them emotional for what we actually feel it. Because there is always a cultural gap. But only thing we all get emotional thats a mom's love. Its universal❤
The romantic song was Kanmani Anbodu Kadhalan composed by Ilayaraja for the movie 'Guna'. The film portrays immortal love beyond differences between two lovers....and the lyrics in the song is the most beautiful part which you guys shldve focused on. The song was brilliantly placed by Director Chidambaram because he used the lines which showed the purity in love not for a man and a woman but also that it can be used to show the depth of friendship they had...hence the last line
"This is not a love that mere mortals can understand, its immortal and more pure"
Just great Director Brilliance❤
Premalu 💞 or Avesham 💥
Not or buddy .. we need reaction on both
Avesham
bramayugam first I think. bcz that movie was on international level
Premalu is mostly verbal comedy. It won't work for foreigners. Subtitles won't deliver the same
Yeah premalu wouldnt work for them
Here is some director brilliance if you missed:
1. Subash asked the taxi driver that what is god? and he replied it is light coming from above at the time we need. Lated Kuttan (The saviour) came to Subash like a god with light from his headlight after fall
2. The belt subash took from his brother saved his life from falling all the way down. (The director told this in an interview)
3. The character sixen always talking in high volume which irritated everyone of them in the first...then the same high frequency voice helped subhash to hear and gain his consciousness back...The power of his sound
Next AAVESHAM😁❤️❤️
The movie is about these bunch of village-town boys who grew up together in the interior areas of kerala. from what i understood as a north indian. they all are from lower income families.. working in plants, doing manual labour type work.. havent married yet and just drinking and partying. their life, given their setting, is perfect. they are faced with an unimaginable horror and they take time to realise the gravity of the situation, thats why they didnt get into "action mode" right away. But, it shows boys like these, the local town boys, the manjummel boys arent really local drunks wasting their lives (like how people around them used to view them). Theres value in living amongst a tribe of men like this.
Thats the part most indians, most men here, would resonate with.
Manjummel is an industrial area near Kochi city. Thats why the childhood scenes shows factories in distance.
They are not tribes lol. That is how Kerala is . Green
@@pinkpanther6228 I didn't mean like tribals. A tribe as in your own group.
Its funny how Jaby was laughing throughout the movie and broke down at the very end. That's what this movie does to you - precise story-telling and scenes that breaks even the best among you.. Bravo Chidambaram (clap)
The song from the start of the movie is from Kamal Hassan's movie "Guna", which was shot in that cave and hence made it famous as "Guna Cave". Prior to the movie the cave was called Devil's kitchen as mentioned in the movie.
The song also means a lot more than something that led to these events. In Guna, Kamal Hassan portrays a mentally ill person who believes a girl to be a goddess who will marry him, abducts her and hides her in this cave. Eventually she falls in love with him as well seeing how much he likes her and takes care of her (haven't watched the full movie but I beleive it to be based on Stockholm syndrome). The lyrics say "humans can't understand this love as it's above humanly love, it's divine. The same lyrics can be heard towards the end of the movie when they finally get Subhash out of the pit, suggesting this is not a normal friendship. There is no fear of death here, the friendship these guys have is something more, divine in fact, so much so that they will go to any lengths to rescue their friend.
That song has big relevance in this movie jaby.guna cave is introduced to the public by that song and lyrics of that song has deeper meaning. Climax song is the continuation of that intro song
The music when Subhash gets out of cave is THE EXACT SAME SONG OF KAMAL HAASAN that was shot in this cave . It was a brilliant move in that movie to bring that song at that point!! The THEATRE JUST WENT CRAZZZYYYYYYYYY AND EVRYONE started singing that song in the climax . Wow that experience was Surreal . Btw U should check out that song also
It's not set up. Tug of war was real thing beetween them. In kerala tug of war is an emotion to some others. They were champions in yheir local village. The club name was majummel boys♥️an masterpiece made by chithambaram
Bro setup means they are showing that to audience these peoples have this skill and experience, so in climax when rope pulling scene comes audience already knows that what they are capable of other wise people get confuse. There are lot setups in this movie like Sixon being loud etc.. Later they pay off
next avesham or premalu please
We all spent childhood playing like this. You won't understand
SUBHASH IS SOO LUCKY TO HAVE SUCH GREAT FRIENDS❤❤❤❤
I think the most beautiful thing about this movie is the friendship, i watched the interviews of the real manjummel boys they are still chaotic, loud and close friends. They are a bit insane like u saw in the beginning of the movie, but it's nice to see that friendship hold for so long
wow, good that you managed to finally hint at a whole different layer to the movie that you completely missed, though as the "the part I liked the least"! That layer is part of the reason why the movie became such a big hit in Tamil Nadu as well. So it's a legendary song from the movie 'Guna' (the reason why the place is called Guna cave today). The song itself talks abt "love that's beyond understanding", the moment they play that part of the song when they come out of the cave is the absolute high of the movie. Add to that the connections they already established with them buying 'Kamal hits', and of course they decide to visit the cave after the song plays on the car and one friend suggests they should go there etc. The connections are important and integral to the movie is why the director starts the movie with that. You aren't expected to know all these but have some humility to at least wonder why a director does what he does, than just brushing it away as the, "part I liked the least" and "it visually doesn't tie into anything' etc!
All the music credits goes to Sushin Shyam ,he is one of the popular composer in malayalam .
Watch "AAVESHAM" .One of the main reason for this movie's popularity was also because of his music
Fact: Subhash is only person who survived after falling into Guna cave..
Now its perfect time for aavesham watchalong🔥
75% of the children who grew up in the 90s lived a life like this.. Villages became towns and now cities after the Globalisation in 1991.. Till then, there were only a few Cities like Kolkata, Madras and Delhi had an urban lifestyle.. Now with globalisation and population, there are much lesser villages and also kids, who wanna play outside..
Hope all 90s kids in India enjoyed summer holidays with lot of friends like this, I'm one
True reaction. Tears at the end when the mom cries. Pure movie magic right there. Should have experienced in the theater.
Avesham request button 😎>>>>
This movie is incomplete without the climax song! I feel bad for foreigners who don't understand the importance of the song!
This is real incident happened in the same place. The art team created set looking like exact original guna cave. that rescue scenes are shooted in the set. Too many risks taken for this film. Pls watch the making video guyss
That Guna Cave - they recreated the whole thing exactly like the cave. We never realize that it is a movie set. Perfection at its best. Credit goes to whoever worked on this.
THE GUY WHO SURVIVED IS NOW WALKING, DANCING, TALKING. MIRACLE!
32:13 The music video was the reason that they were intrigued to go the place. It's from an old film of kamal hassan named "guna" hence the name gunna cave since they shot the video song there(yes the actual guna cave where subash fell down but long ago). I seriously don't know how kamal hassan and the flim(approx 25+ people) went into that cave with heavy filming material(like lights, camera etc) and came out safely after filming a video song and also some more part of the movie near climax was in that cave.
one of the best part of movie is the way they used kanmani anbodu kadhalan song ,it actually made me connected more with the movie
The initial song makes it much better because that is kamal Hasan song from which guna caves got it's name but more importantly till that point it is just a romantic song between a man and a woman but in climax when he is rescued they play it again and this time it becomes love between friends and lyrics matches completely.
That yellow jacket guy symbolises the viewers' inability to do anything other than being a spectator to the tragedy that befell them.
The least connected part of the movie jaby said is the most connecting thing of whatever happened in the movie jaby.....because the song is featuring kamal hassan is from the movie GUNA which is the name of the caves they went to and the song and most of the film is shot inside the cave...The very reason majummel boys thought to explore guna is because of this song which was hit then...and which explored the guna caves beautifully....And at the climax of the movie the song is repeated when subash is rescued just like the movie...if you really notice the translation of the song you would get that.....and yes the song is a romantc song in GUNA movie...but in this movie we can also see it as a love song between friends...or FRIENDSHIP ANTHEM......And also I want you to react to the Guna song KANMANI ANBODU sepatately in your channel with subtitles so that you can clearly understand whats happening in the song and how itis connected to this movie.🙂
Achara saying "I like watching you cry" was evil and sweet at the same time 😂
That romance song is the same song coming at the climax when he is pullin up from the .... It was a romantic song back then after this movie it turned to be a friendship song too
Saw jaby crying for the first time....
That romantic song was a tribute Kamal Hassan and kollywood industry, both movies are set in the same cave. Basically that song was a love letter from Mollywood to Kollywood, and yeah they decided to go to the cave because of the song that was shot there
The harrowing Guna Caves was first showcased in Kamal Hassan's movie with that very song. That movie is a very celebrated cult classic with its own fan following base. There are old interviews and new interviews of the crew lf that very movie explaining their personal experiences with the Guna caves. And the boys ventured the caves after it got popular from the cinema, but without much knowledge on what the caves are actually hiding..
The beauty of the film is that it seems like just another 'Survival/Rescue Film' but in fact, that's the backdrop to a film about 'Friendship'.
The song was actually a romantic song and since its also the same song which led them to the cave and eventually the lyrics fit very well for the friends as well. I think the whole meaning of inserting that song here was to signify their friendship and how none of them were ready to give up on their friend's life. It was very beautiful
Hay I watched this movie yesterday itself and it's soo good and looking natural
Sushin Shyam's music is always so fitting into the story. ❤
See the movie camera movements, music, setting, views etc., followed the feeling/emotions in the movie.
For Eg: camera was panning wildly to suit the mood of the group. When the group faced problem, everything was quiet and measured. When they saved subash, the song mimicked the feeling of the group. Truly, the movie makes the viewer a part of the manjunmel boys gang, as there is no protagonist you connect with. Brilliant execution in that sense.
The song was placed in the beginning of the movie as both a homage to the works of tamil cinema which is relevant to the story for a range of reasons. 1. Like Jaby said, its song that led the group to the cave. Its interesting because the group who approached the cave attributed that place to its romanticism and its lure. Not knowing that the cave is also a dangerous force of nature. 2. For those people who were introduced to this aspect of the cave, its assocation to the romanticism, as an ode for love, ( the music itself is iconic and speaks about the theme of a love that is beyond human comprehension and steps into teh realm of divine. ) it was also a layered deception. To relate to the events up until the cave disaster from a romantic and relaxed POV, contributing to how unprepared you were when the disaster happened. You just werent prepared for that. But its more than that. The depth of their friendship is what actually gets them out of the disaster at the end of the day. The story ultimately is about the resilience and depth and beauty of their friendship. And the song was an excellent way to both pay homage to tamil cinema, for its pop culture association of love and resilience that we asociate with that cave inspite of its terrifying sides. 3) Lastly, its true that jaby had no horse in the race. And that is totally understandeable. Just like i had no horse in the race when i watched Pulp fiction and Kill bill to its various references to American pop culture. Kill bill for example with its myriad of reference to hong kong action cinema was a source of big cluelessness to me. But it is there to make the movie better and richer. Whether we understand it or not at the moment. One can ofc make the choice to know more about that and that will definitely improve your experience each time you watch it. Like it did for me when i read up about these various references. So i hope this makes sense. Also please watch Bramayugam. Its a masterpiece.
Jaby do Madgaon Express next. Love from Nagaland❤
when we were seeing this film on the theatre on that scene where subash grabs kuttana's neck, i litreally saw people throwing popcorn in the air out of shock.😂
The fact they experienced all that emotions without knowing great amount of Malayalam is what cinema is all about 🖤
The song at the start is a recurring motif in the movie. The movie that it's from - Guna - made the caves a popular tourist spot since the song and some other parts of the movie were shot in those caves. This also led to the place being renamed to Guna caves. In some ways, the popularity of the song is the main instigating factor in the movie.
The lyrics from the song are also used here to represent the deep love and bonding that the boys have for each other. Finally, the song was a huge nostalgia trip for Indian audiences, who are big fans of the song and Kamal Hasan.
Guna cave is Guna cave because of that Kamal Hassan movie called Guna ....and the song you talking about is the song from Guna movie...and for us ..tha song uplifted the movie so much
Aavesham, next
The song is the main charecter in this movie, Its because of this song, they were drawn to this cave and when they pull Subash out of the cave, the song is played and this time the lyrics: "man cannot understand this love.....its more sacred/pure/devine" - It talks about love between friends. It connected well with the tamil audience. This movie was a block buster hit in Tamil Nadu
This song is above love in general.. after this movie it bacme more about friendship than romantic love.. it was perfect placement of that song, for a lot of reasons...
We have all had childhood like this
Can’t ignore the goosebumps!!!❤
The childhood showing in this movie is the childhood almost all generations upto 90's kids have lived... and that life is soo soo beautiful and the new kids have no clue about it
He is...saved becouse of his brothers belt... Which he was taken when he was leaving from home
The song in the beginning and put at times is very iconic song. The thing is it's a homage to it because that song and movie is based on the guna caves.
The reason the boys went there is because of the movie and the song.
I’ve been waiting for part 2 😅❤
Achara loves Jaby like he is her toddler!
The sound design for this movie is haunting. Brilliant stuff
Thiruchitrambalam,Ratchasan, Theeran adhigaaram ondru next to this please...along with Aavesham ,Premalu, Hridayam movies😊😊😊
They actually build this set of Guna cave... And in Kerala we spent our childhood exactly like this, I don't know if you can related to it
Thank you guys..for reacting such a proud effort from Malayalam film industry
Send this movie to the Oscars. India always send the wrong movies. This movie is a gem!
Aavesham movies one of the blockbuster
Real story based movie
That song is from Kamal Hassan's hit movie (Guna) which was shot in the actual Guna cave (where this happened). These friends went to that cave saying they wanted to go see the place where that movie was shot. That song is iconic in south india (from the same movie Guna)
Now the point of the romantic song at the beginning is because the boys got the inspiration to travel to the guna caves from the same movie the song is in. Now, the song is from an old movie 'GUNA' which is primarily shot inside the guna caves and hence the name. It's actual name was 'Devil's Kitchen'.
