Loud speaker:Review from a fan


Loud Speaker – A nostalgic experience :
This film is not for those who expect some blasting dialogs or some action sequences in air or some mix masala….This is simply for those who want to recollect their nostalgic memories, to go back to their past…….

Performance:

Mammootty:
Loud Speaker is gonna yet another family hit from one of the finest Indian actors, our own Mammukka…Mammukka's simplicity, innocence and easiness in acting are something to be really appreciated. As so many people commented Loud Speaker is another family hit from Ikka after Kazhcha and Palunku. Each and every scene we love to watch Ikka's innocent acting. We are not just watching the film, but living…..

Sasikumar:
His acting is quite natural and matured. He has very important role in the film. Almost all nostalgic feelings are portrayed through him. Mammootty's presence made it sweeter. Great acting Sasikumar!

Gracy Singh: Better than recent Mammootty heroines. But nothing great to do in this film.


Direction - Jayaraj
No need to appreciate this great director. Because mere appreciations will not suffice…He already proved that he is a talented director. We saw many of his experimentations before. Congratulations for making a simple but great movie like this!

Cinematography:
Gunashekhar Dft has done an excellent job in this nice film. Each and every scene was crystal clear. 535 cameras are one of world's best film shooting cameras. Top angle shots were optimized. Nowadays most Malayalam films use top angle crane shots heavily. But here in Loud Speaker it was used when ever required. Photography is one of the important factors because of which we feel the nostalgia without losing the essence.

Sound:
One of the main highlights of this film is its spot dubbing. The original sounds while shooting were used in the film except the BGM. Really appreciate the experimentation. But one thing to mention here is that sounds in first 2-3 scenes were not audible. May be we can use this spot dubbing going forward because, on the spot sounds are more realistic than fabricated sounds, but make sure that it is properly engineered before embedded in to the reels.

Cuts:
Editing was also good. We don't find any noticeable lagging of the film, even though it lagged in some slapstick comedy scenes!

BGM:
BGM was simply superb. The unplugged scores used in "Alliyambal" song were really enjoyable. The full BGM goes in sync with the mood of this simple film except that in the fight.

Lyrics & Music:
Arabikkadha team strikes again. Music is one of the main highlights of this film. Already lyrics & music is a hit all over Kerala. Anil's lines are too good and catchy. Biji's music is marvelous especially the "Alliyambal" song. Hope he will give more nostalgic music in coming films too.

Some scenes I liked most:

1. Film starting scene.
2. Alliyambal song picturization…too good……
3. Mammootty chatting with heroine while he was washing his clothes in the terrace.
4. Climax scene in which the camera was zooming out.

Briefing:

Trust me guys, Loud Speaker is one of the best films ever made in Malayalam. So simple and nostalgic…Must watch it alon
