cycle

I was clearly out of mind when i decided to give it a chance. Directed by Johny Antony whose earlier outings were CID Moosa,Inspector Garud,THuruppu Gulaan and Kochi Rajaavu, i expected nothing but a flurry of idiotic and nonsensical sequences. However,10 minutes into the movie,i was assured that i wouldnt lose my money.
The plot revolves around two friends Roy(Vineeth Sreenivasan) and Sanju(Vinoo Mohan) who are both from modest backgrounds. Put into situations which seem more realistic than extraordinary,the two protagonists struggle to stay on their lives, following the best alternative at every juncture. Anything more would be an offence to all people who wish to watch a refreshing thriller,full of hilarious moments.
Both the actors deliver well,and vineeth sreenivasan reminds you of his dad,in his early days. Much of the attention and all of the applause he recieves throughout the movie is because of this canny resemblance. Only if he could work on his dialogue delivery. Vinoo Mohan is the next friendly neibhourhood boy, take it from me.


Cycle belongs to that class of movies which have been inspired by 'Classmates'. Had the latter not happened, no one in their right mind would have put their money on 4 struggling actors and a director who irritated more than he evoked laughter. However,Cycle will eventually turn out to be the turning point in the career of Johny Antony. I am not suggesting that this is a perfect movie.But it is definitely a realistic one, and a good one at that too. Much of the praise should go to James Albert who makes a delightful comeback through his marvellously crafted script.Not a single scene goes into waste. At parts, it even has the class of 'Ramji Ravu Speaking'.This man is here to stay.
