Full mockery & exposé of the Christian Ministries
Jesus! Honestly what guts! Full credit to Anwar Rasheed and the writer of this film, Vincent Vadakkan for a movie as this. It was my first day, first show probably for the first time in my life and I have been dying to get this review out. In fact I am wondering why Christians here in Kerala weren’t offended by this film, or probably they are. I know one lady who walked out of the film. I’m told it hasn’t been released in Chennai and I wonder how the Christians there are going to take it, if it does get released there. Such miracle healing shows are almost legend in Chennai and other parts of Tamizhnadu.
How savvy businessmen make these Christian Ministries into money making Juggernauts is what the movie describes vividly though there is a story line which again was not the “main thing” for me. How millions are fooled into believing these ministries is the highlight. And these fake men pull it off with drama, staged healings, emotional tugging at the hearts, song, music, dramatic special effects and whatever it takes to fool people in the name of God, and in the process amass huge amounts of money. Some are brainwashed to such an extent that they even refuse hospital treatment of their sick ones thinking the healing power of God will help.
Fahadh Faasil does a stellar role and there are stellar performances from other cast and crew, notably Dileesh Pothan and Gautam Vasudev Menon who does his first good complete role compared to the cameos he does in his movies. The only let down was Nazriya whose character gives away whenever she resorts to her childish antics (that she is popularly known for) which doesn’t do justice to her role in the film. On the other hand someone like Andrea Jeremiah (Annayum Rasoolum) would have nailed this character.
My recommendation, Go for it.
