ലോഹിതദാസിന്റെ തിരക്കഥയില് ഒരുക്കുന്ന ഭീഷ്മര്ക്കു മുമ്പ് സിബി മലയില് സംവിധാനം ചെയ്യുന്ന മോഹന്ലാല് ചിത്രമാണ് ഫ്ലാഷ്. ദേവദൂതനുശേഷം ഇരുവരും ഒരുമിക്കുന്ന ചിത്രം കൂടിയാണിത്. ഭീഷ്മരുടെ തിരക്കഥ പൂര്ത്തിയാവാന് സമയ്മെടുക്കുമെന്നതിനാലാണ് സിബി ആദ്യം ഫ്ലാഷ് ഒരുക്കുന്നത്.
റോമയാണ് ഫ്ലാഷില് ലാലിന്റെ നായിക. മുരളി, ജഗതി, സായികുമാര്, ഇന്ദ്രജിത്ത്, സിദ്ദീഖ്, സലീം കുമാര്, ജഗദീഷ്, മണിക്കുട്ടന്, ബിജുക്കുട്ടന് എന്നിങ്ങണെ നീണ്ട താരനിരയാണ് ഹാസ്യത്തിന് പ്രാധാന്യമുള്ള ഫ്ലാഷില് അണിനിരക്കുന്നത്.
എസ് കുമാര് ഛായാഗ്രഹണവും നിര്വഹിക്കുന്ന ചിത്രം ടോമിച്ചന് മുളകുപാടമാണ് നിര്മ്മിക്കുന്നത്. റഫീഖ് അഹമ്മദിന്റെ ഗാനങ്ങള്ക്ക് ഗോപീസുന്ദര് സംഗീതമൊരുക്കുന്നു.
MR Gopu flash release ayittu 2 year akunnu thankal ivida onnum allaa ...check following review from sify
http://sify.com/movies/malayalam/review ... 5&cid=2428 First thing first - Flash is heartbreakingly disappointing! Sibi Malayil’s teaming up with Mohanlal, once again after seven years has turned out to be a disaster from the word go.
It is nowhere in the league of the duo’s earlier previous classics like His Highness Abdullah, Bharatham, Dasaratham, Kireedam etc. Watching it first day with the audiences you could sense that something has gone wrong awfully.
Flash should have been titled Manichitrathazhu-2 as the film seems to be inspired by the all time great classic. However, the story and screenplay writer S.Bhasurachandran has made a hash of the original which had a clear narrative and was taut and racy.
Dhwani(Parvathy) is a fun loving young girl, daughter of a Chennai based tycoon Sekharan (Sai Kumar) who has put her in the custody of his father a great Kalaripayattu expert and a business man (Tamil character actor Ponvannan) in Kerala. She stays in a huge old mansion with the rest of the joint family consisting of Chittapan’s, Ammayi’s( Sreekumar, Suresh Krishna ) and assorted cousins including her Moracherukan Priyan (Indrajith) who is in love with her. However one day she finds out that one of her cousins is in love with their family driver Balu, which causes a furore in the joint family! Later the driver is found missing!
Suddenly Dhwani starts behaving abnormally and turns psychotic as she feels blood is in her hand and washes it constantly and believes that she murdered a person! A worried Priyan brings a famous psychiatrist Dr. Mithun Madhavan(Mohanlal) to treat her and find out the mystery behind the strange going-on’s in her life .After some initial misunderstandings Dhwani falls in love with Mithun, who gets into her mind to ferret out the truth behind her depressive delusions. Meanwhile her father is murdered and the investigating police officer Chandy (Siddique) arrests her for his murder!
But our super psychiatrist with police help does a psycho investigation and proves that Dhwani is innocent and the two murders that she thinks that she had committed was falsification of her memory! The real murderers within the family is trapped due to the brilliant psycho analysis of the incident and its actual recreation by Mithun, who hands over a cured Dhwani to Priyan and walks into the arms of his wife (Parvathy Melton in a cameo) and his two children. END. The title card roles- A film by Sibi Malayil!
Half way through, the audiences are left wondering where this film is heading for. No one knows, and no one cares as half the full house theatre was empty by the time it was over. Mithun Madhavan, the Mohanlal character appears 35 minutes after the film starts and just like in Manichitrathazhu makes a dramatic and comic appearance in black like a Sabarimala pilgrim. And why did the director and his script writer show Mohanlal as ‘man for all seasons’- an IT professional, a magician, a Kalaripayattu expert, when he is supposed to be a renowned psychiatrist?
The Mohanlal- Jagathy comedy combination is becoming stale. And the music of debutant Gopi Sundar, a re-recording specialist is a bit slow and has a depressive feel. There was no need for the foreign location song between the lead pair, as they look a mismatch physically.
After the film was over, we wonder- “Does Mohanlal ever read the script of a film that he does?” UnfortunatelyFlash is a proof that he does not, as the film drives us crazy and is not a wonderful experience after 2 hours and 42 minutes!
