Angamaly Diaries is a festival from the very start where we are introduced to a man called Kaadu (Forest) Benny a goon who eats snakes and takes a quotation from a gay
man owning a accessory shop for ladies.
The best part is that this character has no significance and exists only in this scene. This is just one of the many colorful characters in this beautiful, violent, badass movies.
The quotation he takes is of our heroes and the introduction scene has the most enjoyable fight scene with the hero dressed as Jesus along with his friends dressed as other characters beating up people in a bar with the band version of a SPB song playing in the background.
Absolutely stunning screenplay and direction.
The director has delved deep into the heart of angamaly incorporating all the aspects- culture, slang, food and festivals making it such a realistic movie.
The climax scene is mind blowing. Hats off to the scriptwriter and the director for this work of art. Looking forward to more such movies . Kudos!
