Comments on: Akam https://lensmenreviews.com/akam-malayalam-movie-review/ Malayalam, Tamil, Hindi & English Content Reviews Tue, 24 Jan 2017 14:05:06 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: Deepak Shankaran https://lensmenreviews.com/akam-malayalam-movie-review/#comment-411 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 07:31:00 +0000 https://lensmenreviews.com/?p=2189#comment-411 I disagree completely with this review. The unique (for malayalam cinema) techniques adopted by the director, that this reviewer believes to “take the charm away from Akam”, actually helps further shroud the narrative in mystery. The sense of eeriness created by these very techniques were extremely satisfying to me.

This review reminds me of the initial reaction that Terrence Mallik’s masterpiece “The Tree of Life” received. Similar techniques were initially interpreted to take the attention away from the movie. More patient viewing has since celebrated this great piece of work.

Anybody willing to be a little more patient with “Akam”, is sure to have their patience rewarded with a visual and emotional treat like no other in recent Malayalam movie history.
