finally, done watching...! *_*Cinematography ? Perfect, No lead, No lag.. Just as much as you'd want to see...! :DAnd whats about the storytelling... ? ~ Life, As it goes on.. yup, its that simple and lovely also, you might say! ;) and i must also mention the music. the south Indian music.. its too lively and engaging! :D it's a 7.7/10. (y) .... why should a review .......be of at least 10 .......lines !? ......... i don't get it. :/

I have never watched any Malayalam movie before as I don't know the language and I hate watching movies with subtitles on.A friend of mine suggested me to watch Bangalore Days and hence I decided to give it a try.Now,after watching,I don't feel disappointed at all. Coming to the story,it is a simple one about three cousins and how their lives have unfolded.I have seen similar movies before but what makes Bangalore Days different is the narration.You get a pleasant feeling throughout the movie.One particular that stands out is when Das and Divya go to meet Natasha's parents. All the lead actors have done justice to their role.Music(both songs and background score)is brilliant and it complements the mood of the film well.It helps audience to connect emotionally with the movie. Overall,there is nothing much to complaint about the movie.The movie's runtime is close to 3 hrs.Wish it could have been trimmed a little bit.But again,you won't complaint as long as you are watching it.It is a good movie and is definitely worth watching

Bangalore Days is not just a movie, moreover I would like to mention it as a joyful journey with top young stars of the Malayalam film industry. Myself, a Malayali born and brought up in Bangalore have come across many people like the characters in this movie. They just get crazy whenever they come to the town and of course gets changed in terms of their daily routine although they struggle initially. I have always loved Bangalore since it is my birth place and after watching Bangalore Days, guess what! I fell in love with the city all over again, such is the view of Bangalore in this movie. I was sad that the movie is just 3 hours. It is because not even a single minute is boring. On the whole watching Bangalore Days just once is't enough.

Not playing the main protagonist and mostly used for comic relief, this guy manages to walk away with the movie (Referring to Nivin Pauly here - who did such a fantastic job earlier this year in '1983').His 2nd collaboration (this year after 'Ohm Shanthi Ohshaana' or 'OSO'; they've worked earlier too) with Nazriya Nazim, along with a plethora of stars, all digging into something substantial, this one's chicken soup for the soul this year.One of the best things about it, never mind the (strong) feeling of nostalgia that it evokes on multiple occasions, is that it highlights the relationship between cousins, something hitherto un(der)portrayed on the big screen before (unless I missed something big). In spite of its long running time, and the fact that one does see a plot twist coming from a mile away, both the screenplay and the editing are so good that most of us didn't feel restive much. Gopi Sundar has done a better job here than he did in 'How old are you', with the sound being more consistent and mellifluous ('How old..' had its moments, but this has more, from a musical standpoint). All my doubts about Salmaan's potential as a good actor can be finally laid to rest (I had concerns after 'Vaayaiy moodi pesavum', which had him and Nazim too). He owns each and every scene he's in, and I, for one, would love to see what he does next.Special mention must be made of the meaty portions and decent characterization given to (quite a) few supporting characters, including both parents of Pauly's character (one of them played Pauly's subtle antagonist in 'OSO', his screen time being limited in both movies, but he's not the less for that; with the lady playing his wine- making wife in 'OSO' playing an important character, along with being given due prominence in this one as well). Pauly's father's character's off-screen makeover, and his mom's character's on screen one, have to be enjoyed on the big screen with an audience to be truly enjoyed. Very much a slice-of-life thing.Nazim, as is her wont, tends to overact in a few scenes, but her well-etched characterization and performance more than make up for those initial follies.Most of us could've done without one of the corniest twists ever put on celluloid, that (kinda) ruined the movie for me halfway into the 2nd half, but the rest of the movie's so good that this is easily forgiven, not just for the fact that it bring Fazil's character to the forefront from that point on.Definitely a good movie, though my pick for the best this year remains 'OSO'.
