Rotten Chillies!

There is no hope in Malayalam Cine World these days- the veterans are past their prime and the youngsters simply refuse to come up with something interesting! The audience are fed with rehash of old films which are unbearable to say the least! In spite of all this, sometimes when you see the posters/ promos of an upcoming Mammootty/ Mohanlal film, you start hoping with all your heart that this movie could be the proverbial saviour of the industry!

It is this hope that drives me to watch inanities like "Red Chillies". The disappointment, despair, disillusionment and dejection that I experienced while I sat through this apology for a movie cannot be described in words. I dont understand what A K Sajan is creditted with- A script? That is the last thing that you would find in this listless enterprise! Shaji Kailas apparently does not direct anymore, he conceives shots- but Mr. Kailas needs to understand that it does not help if all you have in a movie is a series of freeze frames of an ageing, out of shape star draped in suits and accessorized with cool shades and with jarring music ringing loud in the background!

And those 9 bimbettes in the movie- are you still interested? Gimme a break...
