Kammath and Kammath BOX OFFICE
Om Shanthi Oshanna Review
Celluloid, directed by Kamal and Prithviraj and Mamta Mohandas in the main roles, says the story of JC Daniel, known as father of Malayalam cinema. Celluloid is an emotional film. But it does not follow the 'traditional' way of art cinema. The movie contains a lot of entertaining elements which keeps the audience engaged. The movie starts with JC Daniel's(Prithviraj) entry in a Classic canvas of 1920's. Celluloid tries to convey the reason of Daniel's and Rosy's alienation from both movie and life. The movie is also based on the novel Nashta Naayika by Vinu Abraham.

REVIEW :
Celluloid, directed by ace director Kamal is a perfect tribute to JC Daniel, who is known as the father of Malayalam cinema.Technically the movie is one of the best. Kamal's direction is very much appreciable. He maintains the ambiance of 30's, 60's and 70's throughout the movie. Music by M. Jayachandran is melodious and very apt for the situations. 'Kaate kaate' being my favorite.
When it comes to the performances, all the cast has done a great job. Prithviraj Sukumaran as Daniel steals the show with his outshining talent in acting. Mamta Mohandas also performs well and is up to the expectations. Chandini, who plays the role of Rosy(Malayalam film industry's first ever heroine) also does justice to her role despite being here debute performance. Ramesh Pisharadi rocks the theater with his excellent comedy timing.
The caption of the movie 'This is an old generation movie' is really apt for the movie. It questions the standard of so called 'New generation movies'. The movie depicts about an era in Malayalam cinema. The movie is purely natural in handling the subject. The script writer Kamal have not added any unwanted twists or 'hi-level' dialogues for 'entertainment'. He keeps the honesty throughout.

The recreation of the life of JC Daniel in the big screen will surely inspire young directors. Hats off to Kamal for taking up this task. Celluloid is a must watch movie for all Malayalam movie lovers.
