Set in the forests of Wayanad, Ezhamathe Varavu is a multilayered story that delineates the link between man and nature. It revolves around three principal characters — a planter, his wife and his friend. Gopi, a wealthy planter is an Alpha male, a hunter who assumes he knows the jungle and its creatures. Bhavana plays his long-suffering wife, who craves for his company and affection. Into their turbulent marriage comes Vineeth, an archaeologist on a dig in Wayanad. He turns out to be her college beau. Kavitha plays a tribal who introduces Vineeth to the forests and its inhabitants.

The summary above is a figure of speech for what I experienced during the movie. I haven't read/watched any of M T Vasudevan Nair's work, but I'll tell you how haphazard this film is. That is, I laughed at myself after wasting few bucks over this phoniness!Hariharan's Pazashi Raja was fine, all right. But using the same technique - follow the plot, not the story - doesn't work here. The former has a simple story & the adaptation is what made it a hit. But, in Ezhamathe Varavu, the story looks pale. Enacted by some of the brilliant actors of Malayalam cinema, the plot also goes deaf & blind. Now, here the interpretations may be different, but what I fathomed was how "doubt" can jeopardize lives.The music & setup is good. Moreover it looks like gimmick, when some characters are introduced with no substance at all; characters that go high after a drop of alcohol in their systems (duh!). Lacking research in writing & adapting, this story-telling is a no-brainer. And, if you don't concentrate enough, things are easy to slip off and you won't understand a thing. Wilderness is a good thing, ain't it?BOTTOM LINE: Not recommended due to the monotonous play & clichéd factors playing football. 4.1 out of 10. A perfect example of huge expectation blown into pieces. It is neither an art movie (in which case I'd have loved the implications) nor a drama. It is bad karma!Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YESProfanity/Sex: No | Drugs/Alcohol/Smoking: Strong | Violence/Gore: Critical | Nudity/Vulgarity: Mild
