Spirit

Spirit is yet another brilliant film to have come out from the Malayalam film industry in recent times,owing hugely to the tides of change that has rocked Malayalam movie industry for the past couple of years. The hit duo of Mohanlal-Ranjith returns after 6 years to deliver a film that has got heart and succeeds in conveying the message to the viewer. The film is set around the life of a chronic alcoholic,Raghunandan(Mohanlal) who is a bank employee turned TV host/Writer. His personal life is a big mess and he has been divorced for years.Kaniha plays the role of Meera,Raghunandans ex-wife who is now married to Alexy(Sankar Ramakrishnan). Sankar Ramakrishnan makes a good debut and does justice to the role.All the characters are excellently portrayed by veteran actors like Madhu,Thilakan etc. Nandhu deserves a special applause and this is by far his best film ever. The credit goes to Renjith for knitting a well written story line and giving scope to his actors. All in all, this movie is a Mohanlal classic from the beginning to the end.He takes the center stage and performs like the master he is. And he yet again proves that there's no one else in the world who could do better than him in drunkard-roles.Not even you,Johnny Depp!
