shane has been a young face to look out for ever since his stellar performanceas andreah jeremiah’s short tempered brother in annayum rasoolum directed by rajeev ravi. the actor has played small yet pivotal roles in several films including neelakasham pachakadal chuvanna bhoomi, annayum rasoolum, and kammatipaadam, and all of them brought him fame .
i am waiting for annayum rasoolum to release in bombay. but even before seeing the movie i am in love with rasool though rasool will always remain anna’s .
annayum rasoolum, directed by rajeev ravi and starring fahadh fazil, andrea jeremiah, aashiq abu and sunny wayne among others, is undoubtedly one of the best films to release in recent times in malayalam cinema. realistic, refreshingly heart warming and a simple love story narrated in the most fantastic manner is how we can describe annayum rasoolum .
major movies are annayum rasoolum, chandrettan evideya? , charlie, crispin of maheshinte prathikaaram and kammatti padam, of last two has created so much of admiration and acceptance and created fan following .
the following are the other awards: best editor b. ajith kumar (‘annayum rasoolum’), sound recording m. r. rajakrishnan (manjadikuru), colourist jayadev (‘annayum rasoolum’), make - up man m. g. roshan (‘mayamohini’), dubbing artiste vimmi mariam george (‘22 female kottayam’ and ‘nidra’), and best debut director farooq abdul rehman (‘kaliyachan’) .
in malayalam, comedies as well romantic films shone bright. of the approximately 175 films produced, comedy - thriller
romans
and romantic - drama
annayum rasoolum
were two notable hits .
he admits that rajeev being a cinematographer made his job behind the camera, during the shoot of annayum rasoolum, much easier. “besides, i have known rajeev for long… much before we both entered cinema. annayum rasoolum was a film that has been in his mind and heart since, at least, 2002. we had discussed so much about the film over so many years, ” recalls madhu .
saw annayum rasoolum today. eother you dislike the movie or you love it. i loved it and id rate it as one of the most natural and non exaggerated mallu movie ever. its not a movie, its a life... .. there isnt much of a story, but i found it to be an experience. if chappa kurish is your cup of tea, annayum rasoolum wont dissapoint
was also a good casting choice which went down well with the audience. in terms of story - telling, character building and on the technical front annayum rasoolum turned out to be a good debut for rajeev ravi .
it’s been quite some time since i wrote the first in this series – i like! part i – aksharangal (subject in scrutiny). had to take something very special like ‘annayum rasoolum’ for me to write the part ii .
this is why droves of malayalam film fans defend that scene in annayum rasoolum (2013) when anna is seated on a bus, oblivious to the presence of her stalker rasool behind her as he quietly passes his hand over her hair .
three hits in the first 3 weeks of 2013. good going m - town! ! 1. annayum rasoolum - 3. 0 / 5 2. niko njacha - 3. 2 / 5 3. romans - 3. 2 / 5

talking about my current craze –period – fahadh fazil, an exciting news i heard the other day. one of my close friends from college is a part of the film which has fahadh as the lead actor - annayum rasoolum. my happiness knows no bounds !
' annayum rasoolum' is an intense love story which revolves around the unique and realistic life situations of the people in mattancherry. the distinguished cinematographer rajeev ravi is directing this film starring fahad fazil in the lead role. rajeev ravi attempts to tell a love story through ...
( i) trip to my alma mater – thanks to annayum rasoolum for bringing fort cochin back in to my life. from the moment i saw the little girl in the uniform of the delta study, i am wanting to go to my alma mater and just be there !
the movie' annayum rasoolum' has emerged as the first hit of the year in malayalam film industry, the movie has been released in india with subtitles. this pleasant love story has been liked by the young viewers who have listed this movie as the one closest to their hearts .
that did me in. there was sincerity and commitment to the way he put it and i wanted to know how genuine it really was. fahad has this thing about him that makes you want to head to the theatre and it wasn’t difficult to choose annayum rasoolum over nee koo nja… something .
first look: rajeev ravi' s annayum rasoolum ace cinematographer rajeev ravi, who filmed the gangs of wasseypur, is directing a malayalam film titled annayum rasoolum. fahadh faasil and andrea play the lead in the movie, which is being produced under the banner of d' cutz film company. santhosh aechikkanam has scripted the film and the cinematographer is madhu neelakantan. rajeev ravi was the cinematographer for several anurag kashyap' s films such as no smoking, dev d [ images ], gulaal, andthat girl in yellow boots, besides gangs of wasseypur. he is also the cinematographer of films like shesham, rasikan, classmates and the recent ivan megharoopan in malayalam. annayum rasoolum is a love story presented in a realistic way. fahadh, who won the second best actor award at the kerala [ images ] state film awards, says ,
i am all excited about this project .

if annayum rasoolum was rajeev ravi’s ode to love in its purest form, kammattipaadam is a musical tribute to kochi’s past; of a marshy agricultural land sacrificed to make way for the metropolis. and its people, who toiled in the mud and loved selflessly, only to lose everything at the end .
performances the entire star cast of annayum rasoolum have given an outstanding performance. fahadh fazil seems to be maturing with each film and he is brilliant, and so is andrea. their expressions and body language speak volumes about what they (characters) feel for each other and the situation that they are in .
one of the first hits of the year was' annayum rasoolum', which garnered about rs. 12 crore on an investment of rs. 4. 5 crore while' romans' made on a budget of rs. 4 crore minted over rs. 15 crore ,
distributor arvind nambiar told ians .
post these movies the media tagged him as the metro - sexual hero, emraan hashmi of malayalam cinema. he remained true to it and excelled in it. however he went on to do annayum rasoolum. media tagged him as an actor of brilliance and versatile. he hopes to remain true to that too !
arguably, one of the highlights of annayum rasoolum was fahadh faasil’s acting and madhu neelakandan’s cinematography. it was of the highest class and helped rajeev ravi, himself one of india’s leading cinematographers, make a promising debut as a director. for his efforts, madhu walked away with the state award for the best cinematographer .
surprise being “annayum rasoolum”…what was there in the movie other than it being rajiv’s first film as a director? total let down! ”drishyam” good movie. . but for all going gaga about jeethu’s screenplay, go and read the novel on which it is based! then you will realize how much was lost in translation !
they are 5 sundarikal (dir. shyju khalid); annayum rasoolum (dir. rajiv ravi); celluloid (dir. kamal); cr. no. 89 (dir. p. p. sudevan); english (dir. shyamaprasad); kanyaka talkies (dir. k. r. manoj); and venal odungathe (dir. sanjeev sivan) .
just got back from watching annayum rasoolum. before watching the movie i had 2 poor reviews from my family members but i was convinced that it was a movie worth watching. and here i am impressed to hell with rajeev ravi and fahadh faasil putting his heart and soul into acting. right from how he walks, to how he folds his lungi, to how he looks at anna and his innocence. great work fahadh .
since my first watch, i watch this movie everyday…i am spell bound by “annyaum rasoolum”. all the casts are brilliant but i believe movie is a directors art and all the credit goes to rajiv ravi…thank you so much for the film…
the story of annayum rasoolum is narrated by ashley (sunny wayne) who works in the merchant navy and comes ashore in kochi for the second time. on this trip, he recalls the events that happened when he was last here. he tells the story of rasool (fahadh faasil), a muslim tourist taxi driver from a modest background, who falls in love with anna (andrea jeremiah), a christian who is working as a salesgirl. their love looks doomed to fail from the start .
andrea makes a sparkling entry into malayalam cinema and she’s extremely effective as anna. her character is of someone who doesn’t really speak lengthy dialogues and most of her communication is through her expressions and that’s where she scores. her voice has been dubbed by singer shaktisree gopalan and it fits her very well. it’s tough to actually imagine annayum rasoolum without fahadh faasil, that’s the kind of impression he leaves on you with his performance as rasool. he looks supremely confident and composed throughout the film and that shows in the way he’s delivered, extremely impressive indeed .
the cinematographer says that it was a deliberate choice to make annayum rasoolum look as realistic as possible. “we wanted to show rasool (fahadh faasil) and anna (andrea jeremaiah) as real people, so we didn’t use any fancy shots. the idea was to make it look like the camera was hidden amid their lives. of course, fahadh and andrea’s performances helped tremendously to make the whole film realistic. i have to add that the rest of the cast such as shine tom chacko, soubin shahir and joy mathew too played their parts well, ” he says .
the only' minus' if it can be called so is the length of the film. running up to 3 hours, annayum rasoolum would have benefited with a little bit of firm editing. however, you don' t complain much since it' s a story that you can easily relate to. excellent performance by the entire star cast only adds to the beauty of the film. a few romantic sequences between the two lead - fahadh and andrea is adorable though they don' t exchange too many dialogues. the best part of rajeev ravi' s direction is that the narration never becomes melodramatic .
yes there are many who probably complain about the length of the film and as to how the film just chugs along merrily without anything much happening. but that’s deliberate if you ask me as rajeev never really set out to make a film with twists and turns. it was meant to be a film unravelling in its own languid pace and that’s the beauty of the film actually. so while this might not make it mass friendly it’s heartening to see that the film has takers and we need more of that lot. annayum rasoolum is a film made with a lot of heart, take a bow rajeev ravi .
annayum rasoolum - malayalam movie star cast: fahadh faasil, andrea jeremiah, sunny wayne, soubin shahir music: k (krishna kumar) direction: rajeev ravi description the movie is told through the narration of ashley (sunny wayne) who is working in merchant navy & he is signing off in kochi for the second time. the movie plots ahead with ashley recollecting the events happened in his last sign off at kochi. rasool (fahadh faasil) is a tourist taxi driver from a modest area in kochi city. he fells in love with anna (andrea jeremiah) a christian girl who works as sales girl in a popular apparel shop .
in annayum rasoolum both the songs are sung by shahabaz aman who lends a totally different flavour to the songs giving it a contemporary feel and yet with a lot of soul. ‘kando kando’ is a lovely number sung by andrea herself and picturized quite well too. ‘yaaname’ sung by anand arvindakshan has a rock feel to it and ‘vazhivakkil’ sung by anand arvindakshan and shweta mohan is a neat melody. all the 3 songs (kando kando, yaaname and vazhivakkil) are written by anwar ali. which brings me to ‘zammiluni’, sung by shahabaz aman and written by rafeeq thiruvallur. this is a special song with lyrics in arabic - malayalam dialect and shahabaz elevates the song to a new high .
so annayum rasoolum as his launch pad seemed to look interesting from many angles. it was a love story, a genre which somehow hasn’t really been explored well in malayalam cinema of late until the recent thattathin marayathu came along. then came the news about the casting and fahadh faasil and andrea jeremiah seemed to make an interesting pair. fahadh has been having a good run of late and looks keen to explore various shades and characters. andrea is someone i have always respected both as an actor and as a singer. the trailer and the songs did ensure that the initial curiosity and interest was justified and then it was just about time to watch the movie itself. and now that i’ve seen the movie it will certainly be a shame if i do not write about it .
on the surface one might probably feel what’s so special about the film? isn’t it just another inter religious love story (anna is a christian and rasool is a muslim)? after all how different can a love story be? the lovers either unite at the end or do not, so what’s special about annayum rasoolum? well to this i would just say one thing, it’s all about the treatment and that’s where rajeev ravi shows his class in his maiden effort as filmmaker. this is not a candyfloss love story at all and there is nothing fairy tale like as such being shown. there are no usual clichés thankfully in the film as well. we see that rasool generally hangs out with collin, abu and ashley but again there is no tomfoolery being depicted in the usual fashion in those portions .
annayum rasoolum is a film which is more or less centred around kochi. for those unaware, kochi / cochin consists of a group of islands connected to the mainland. traditionally ferry service is used to connect the islands (like fort kochi, vypeen etc) with the mainland and also interconnect the islands as well. why am i mentioning all this? well i’ll come to that soon. rasool (fahadh faasil) is a tourist taxi driver living in mattancherry, along with his brother hyder (filmmaker aashiq abu). anna (andrea jeremiah) works as a salesgirl in a sari shop in kochi (ernakulam city) and lives in vypeen. rasool is a carefree guy and generally spends time with his friends collin (soubin shahir) and abu (shine tom chacko). he comes across anna by chance a couple of times and is captivated by her .
there were quite a few new filmmakers who left their mark with their debut film including rajeev ravi (annayum rasoolum), joy mathew (shutter), anil radhakrishnan menon (north 24 kaatham), alphonse putharen (neram), rojin philip & shalin muhammed (philips and the monkey pen) etc. but the filmmaker of the year is none other than jeethu joseph who came out with not one but two successful films this year. memories featuring prithviraj was a lovely moody thriller which turned out to be another success for the director and actor. and at the very end of the year jeethu came up with his fifth and his best film till date, drishyam which has also turned out to be the best mohanlal film in recent times. so now it’s time to look at the best 10 malayalam films of the year and they have been presented as per their order of release date (starting from the earliest and ending with the latest) .
kochi is a special city alright and though i’ve never lived there, i’ve always enjoyed visiting the place whenever i could, starting from my childhood days. i still cherish the memories of watching films (my 1 st film there must probably be nakhashathangal), enjoying the sights of fort kochi, freaking out on the food etc. at one stage i almost ended up marrying a girl from the place and hence there’s a romantic angle that i share with kochi as well. this is probably why i can relate to the city and hence i’m thrilled with the way rajeev ravi has captured the city in the film without focusing on the usual highlights depicted in other malayalam movies. for anyone living in fort kochi or vypeen the ferry becomes an integral part of their lives and in annayum rasoolum the ferry service is almost a character of its own. the romantic scenes between anna and rasool are well written and appear fresh. talking about the scenes will spoil it for those who are yet to watch the film and hence i will not do so .

, which despite being leaked before its theatrical release, managed to collect a whopping rs. 120 crore at the box office .
we produced the film under a budget of rs. 60 crore and it collected over rs. 100 crore. although we were confident about the film, we were shaken from the inside after it was leaked online. pawan kalyan' s fans made this film a blockbuster ,

is a well - known name to people following hindi cinema seriously. he’s mainly known for his collaboration with
while one would expect that with his growing popularity in bollywood he would hardly be able to find time for malayalam cinema, rajeev has managed to balance himself fairly well. he has continued to work in malayalam cinema like the recent
( 2012). hence it came as no surprise to me last year when it was known that rajeev will make his filmmaking debut with a malayalam film instead of a hindi film .
like all others staying on the islands anna too takes the ferry every day to the mainland to her workplace and to get back home. and thus the ferry becomes a 2 nd home of sorts for rasool as he tries to be around anna all the time. ashley (sunny wayne) is a mariner on leave and a neighbour of anna. and ashley’s home also serves as another place for rasool to hang out for obvious reasons indeed. how does the story move from there on? does anna too fall in love with rasool, what happens to them at the end, how do they impact the other people around them etc are all what we get to know in the rest of the film .
the characters in the film are extremely believable and true to life and this applies to the supporting characters too. rasool’s brother hyder aspires to go to the gulf and work there but the local policemen act spoilsport to clear his passport application, this element by itself has the ingredients to be made into a film. abu is shown to be living life dangerously and yet he’s a family man and his wife fazila (srinda ashab) dotes on him. while she is wary of the work he does, she also doesn’t sit quietly seeing him get beaten by someone else and implores abu to retaliate. again this is a segment which by itself has all the ingredients to be made into a separate film. similarly is the story of ashley and lily (sija rose) .
but what’s amazing is that while all these and other characters are reasonably well developed and have a story of their own, none of them distract us from the main story which is all about anna and rasool. and there is a lot of authenticity to the surroundings and milieu chosen. look at the house where rasool and hyder stay for instance, there is simple but effective use of curtains to act as partition between rooms. similarly the local church celebrations (perunaal) are again quite natural and even remind me of a similar moment from mani ratnam ’s unaroo in fact .
instead of handling the cinematography himself rajeev entrusted madhu neelkantan with the responsibility and i must say that he has done justice indeed. there are a lot of interior shots and shots in darkness / dim light and they correspond very well with the otherwise open and clear shots as well. i’m sure rajeev ravi must be quite proud of madhu’s work in the film. it is said that sound and music always work in tandem to produce an optimum result and k ’s bgm comes out so effectively aided by tapas nayak ’s sound design. in fact for k who has worked on tamil films like yuddham sei, mugamoodi and aarohonam this is his first malayalam film.
