Top review. The Great Father deals with a sensitive issue which is appreciable but avoiding unnecessary heroic scenes and western influences could have made this movie a better one. But unlike Drishyam,most of the movies were heavily inspired from Hollywood thrillers. Malayalam movies are known foe their natural characters but when it comes to recent thrillers,most of them are losing nativity and has lot of traces of Hollywood films.
Last year's Oppam is a decent thriller but its climax is a lift off from Hollywood film. Same happened with The Great Father too. Starring Mammooty,Arya,Sneha and Anikha,this thriller deals with sensitive issues like child sexual assault and paedophiles but unnecessary heroic scenes spoiled its naturality.
Plot: Sara Baby Anikha is a smart little school girl who is considered quite gutsy by her classmates and whom does she owe it all to? Her daredevil dad, David Ninan Mammootty , of course. Going by his stories, Sara believes that nothing is impossible for her dad, who has even fearlessly faced dangerous goons in Mumbai.
The little world consisting of the dad, daughter and her mom Sneha is shattered when something Sara gets raped by a serial killer The Joker.
Now, all that matters to David is restoring justice and above all, his daughter's happy face. My Review: There are very few movies in India which deals with child rape and we can appreciate The Great Father for that reason.
The screenplay succeeds is in bringing a very important issue into focus — paedophilia. To a large extent, the director does justice to the subject as well. Our lead parents tries to be calm and doesn't report the incident of her daughter for the sake of the girl's future. We can see lot of incidents like this in real world.. The interesting thing is that Haneef has approached this topic in a very non-preachy and unconventional manner doing away with the idea of 'victim' and unwanted sentimental drama.
When Mia as a counselor says nothing that happens between the navel and knee can take away anything from the child, we cheer for this kind of sensibility. The crassness of the media in dealing with such issues is also questioned. But,What went Wrong? The Great Father has a sensitive issue which could be made into a dark thriller.
But Haneef added unnecessary heroic shots for the sake of Mammoty fans. The slo-mo scenes,that rapping theme for hero seems artificial here. Even the climax fight is so dragging and irritating. Another issue is the Villain's characterization.
It is heavily inspired from lot of Hollywood films. Mammooty and Baby Anikha are show stealers with terrific performances. Mammooty is ultra stylish like every child's dream super-hero. Baby Anikha is so cute and gave brilliant performance. Arya is also good in the role of cop. The cinematography by Roby Varghese Raj lends charm to the movie. Sushin Shyam's background score also goes well with the movie.
So,The Great Father deals with a sensitive issue which is appreciable but avoiding unnecessary heroic scenes and western influences could have made this movie a better one.
