I would gladly disregard the minor hiccups here and there - like the few attempts to bring in a smile in the otherwise somber proceedings - and hand it over to Vimal, for having played it out evenly, and through some exceedingly striking dialogue let it gently crawl under your skin. There are instances galore in 'Ennu Ninte Moideen' that make you wonder of their authenticity, but its common knowledge that the oft-discussed real life tale, has enough twists and turns in it that will leave any listener astounded! Love is more of an intellectual quest here, and the body is peculiarly immaterial, as their finger tips that remain so close and yet so far away, prove time and again. That it never did is another matter altogether, but what makes their tale so radically dissimilar to any that we have heard before, is that they never failed to let the sunshine caress themselves, as they hung on to a frail strand of hope. Morris West would have been astounded at this fabulous account of waiting that goes on and on of two love stricken souls who never waited for the storm, but instead unwearyingly lingered around for the tempest that had engulfed them, to pass by. Which is why the usual beats assume a spectacular power in the film, with the film maker and his performers infusing a rare might into this heartbreaking account of how everything - society, fortune, destiny and nature itself - transpires against a couple hopelessly in love, hurling them onto a whirlpool of doom. One does not exactly expect 'Ennu Ninte Moideen' to break any new ground, since this is a story that thousands of couples have gone through - before and after Kanchanamala and Moideen came along - and yet, if it still manages to leave you all shaken up, its courtesy the honesty in its depiction and the countless ways in which it seeks to subvert our expectations of how it would all ultimately turn out to be. Love strikes, with disastrous consequences. She deciphers the message in it and discovers that the man who has confessed his love for her is none other than Moideen ( Prithviraj), who is renowned as a budding Socialist at Mukkam. Kanchanamala ( Parvathy) is surprised when she receives an anonymous package at the Medical College hostel, from an admirer. A pithy, well-acted and remarkably crafted film, this devastating narrative of love, comes across as a true celebration of the tender, expectant spirit that lies deep within it.
'Ennu Ninte Moideen' is a slow-burner that invites its viewers to soak themselves in a compelling romantic tale that is prudently drawn from real life.
