Left Right Left- A review

If you are looking for a careful dissection of the anti-left propaganda of the film under review with surgical precision please stop reading, you may have better things to do. One that has been already done, two yours truly is totally incapable of doing it. In a land where intellectuals outnumber coconuts I can be safely called as an apolitical idiot who knows very little about  my home state’s  politics & even less about  commies .But if you watch movies for the joy of it please continue. Left Right Left tells the tale of three individuals who have very little in common. Roy or Che Guevara Roy (Muraly Gopi) a former firebrand communist leads a quiet life after a brutal attack that leaves him partly paralysed.He stays away from politics & teaches at an orphanage. Inspector P.K.Jayan or vattu(mad)Jayan  his neighbour   lives with his mother (sethulekshmi) ,he is in love with Jenifer (Remya Nambeesan)  a nurse with a slightly mysterious past .Though Jayan is dead serious about marrying Jenny ,she  considers him as a stopgap boyfriend. Trouble starts when Roy’s former comrades in arms Aliyar & Suresh unearth a scam which has the involvement of Kaitheri Sahadevan (Harish Peradi) the all-powerful state secretary of Revolutionary Party .In spite of Roy trying his best to dissuade them, Aliyar & Suresh   publish a report   that points fingers towards Sahadevan .On the very same day Jayan murders Jenny’s husband. How these two incidents change the life of protagonists forms the rest of the story.  The story moves at a brisk pace & is devoid of a dull moment.  .  The opening song sung by Muraly Gopi gives a gist of what the movie tries to convey. However it is in the background score department where Gopi Sundar scores, it complements the power packed performances of the cast .Amongst the performances MuraliGopi & Indrajit play their parts to perfection.Suraj Venjaramoodu & Ahmed siddique provide some comic relief .Another notable performance is that of Sethulekshmi who plays the role of Indrajit’s mother. But the person who leaves the biggest impression is Harish Peradi who plays the twin roles of Kaitheri Chathu & Sahadevan. With his powerful voice & mannerisms he breathes life into these two roles. This is one performance that will stay with you long after film is over. Trivandrum is another silent character in this movie & like his earlier film Arun Kumar Arvind has shown it beautifully. The famed Trivandrum dialect is shown in an authentic manner rather than the usual caricatured portrayal in movies. But for all its plus points the climax is a bit filmy. This is not a movie that you will remember after years but it is worth every penny & your time.
