Njaan is a dramatic movie directed by Ranjith after Kadal Kadannoru Mathukkutty. In Njaan Dulquer Salman and Jyothi Krishna plays the lead role along with Saiju Kurup, Suresh Krishna and Muthumani.
Njaan is produced by the director Ranjith himself under the banner of Gold Coin Motion Pictures. The music for the movie is handled by Biji Bal whereas lyrics were penned by Rafeeq Ahamed.It is for the first time ace director Ranjith joing hand with Dulquer Salman for a movie.
Njaan is purely based on acclaimed novel K T N Kottur Ezhuthum Jeevithavum by T. P. Rajeevan, which is set in the backdrop of India's freedom struggle and depicts a magical history of a Kerala village.In 2009 Ranjith have made Paleri Manikyam Oru Pathira Kolapathakathinte Kadha which was also inspired from Rajeevan's novel, which bagged various National and State awards.
Movie begins from post independent and modern India where Ravi Chandra Sekharan, an IT professional and an active blogger takes us to the life of KTN Kottoor, a poet, a writer and a man who stood for the cause of farmers and the poor in the pre independent India's struggle for freedom. Kottoor as shown in the movie is a looser who could not reach or achieve his dreams.
White Boxes:
- Dulquer had a well written character with him and he has done justice to both the roles he portrayed.
- Cinematography by Manoj Pillai
- Bijipal's music
Black Boxes:
- It drags a bit. Maybe Ranjit’s story telling required a leisurely pace and done justice to the book.
Verdict:
It is the sensitive approach of the director that makes the film stand apart,definitely not to be missed by those who love good cinema.
Chitralokam Rating: 3/5
