At the end of the wait, it was legendary to appear on the silver screen a minute after midnight. Priyadarshan’s master craftsman’s autographed film ‘Marakkar is the Lion of the Arabian Sea’ can be said without a doubt. Priyadarshan translates a completely dramatic story into one of the best visuals seen in Malayalam with its excellent battle scenes and elaborate action. The film tells the story of Mammali Marakkar IV, Kunjalimarakkar.
Mammali became lonely after her mother and her family died in the betrayal of the Parangis. Misunderstood as a thief, he lives in hiding with his maternal uncle, the Silk Tree. In the first half, director Fazil surprises with his mature acting. Pranav Mohanlal’s childish Kunjali is full of simple acting and action. Kalyani Priyadarshan and Suhasini, who are only a few moments away, are doing well.
Mohanlal arrives in the 42nd minute of the film. With the arrival of Sunil Shetty and Arjun Sarja in the 48th minute, the tension of the story increases.
Only scenes from the first half of the film are included in the trailer and teaser. It’s natural when it comes to the surprise break of what’s hidden in the second half. But the second half is sure to be better than the first.
History has it that Kunjali Marakkar III was the one who shook the Parangipada with his fighting prowess. But Priyan did not copy the same story we read in history to the silver screen. The second half is a package full of drama and action.
Along with Mohanlal, Sunil Shetty, Action King Arjun Sarja, Prabhu and Manjuwari are competing together. The length of the film is three hours and nine minutes
Anu, son of IV Sasi, has co-written the script with IV Sasi Priyan. Priyan’s son Siddharth has prepared VFX for the film. It is also a sign of a generational change. The film stars Fazil, Suhasini Mani Ratnam, Mamukoya, Mukesh and Siddiqui among others. It is a pity that the movie came to the theaters after the death of Nedumudi Venu who came to Zamorin.
The world of the sixteenth century is a marvel built by art director Sabu Cyril. Although Marakkar has become the most expensive film in Malayalam, it is safe to say that not a single penny was wasted. Marakkar was nominated for Best Picture at the 67th National Film Awards. Siddharth Priyadarshan won the award for Best VFX while Sujith and Sai won the award for Best Costume Design.
