Later he again meets her, when he hide himself from a violent gang, again a trouble caused by his friend Abu in a church festival in Vypin. Anna, who is from a poor Christian family, with lot of troubles in hand, manages to keep her pot boiling, working as sales girl. After a long persuasion, Anna responds to Rasool, but soon Rasool finds himself in deep trouble by hitting down Kunjumon, brother of Anna and the gang leader in festival attack on Abu. An attempt by the narrator friend (Sunny Wynne) to bring the lovers together turns disastrous as Kunjumon\u2019s gang infiltrates and Rasool was forced to take Annas hand to save her from a marriage with a divorcee Pranchi. A story so far soars on the wings of hope, takes a nose-dive into disillusionment in the second half, again Abu\u2019s mafia activities play a crucial game.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Director Rajeev Ravi<\/strong> did a descent job in the company of cinematographer and musician to save the film slipping into a big flow as the script drags presumably. Intermittent bus journey, boat journey, running on the street and foot ball play, steal much of the frames in an unnecessarily prolonged drama to test even the viewer\u2019s patience. Anna and Rasool are sketched as round characters to have an abode in viewer\u2019s heart.<\/p>\n<p>Fahad Fazil as Rasool, and Andrea Jeramiah as Anna steal the show. Andreas\u2019s character looks similar to the heroine in Thattathin Marayathu in her silence and helplessness. Sunny Wynne keeps you wonder-stuck with his unbelievably superb performance as a mature narrator. <a href=\"http:\/\/movies.entecity.com\/director\/aashiq-abu\/\" target=\"_blank\">Ashiq Abu<\/a> and Renjith proved themselves actors apart from super directors.<\/p>\n<p>The script has many logical flows. Ordinary and unnecessary scenes make you wish if the film had ended. Fahad running the street without even a single man\u2019s hindrance on his way is unthinkable. At the end Rasool being hooked in a crime does not have any serious ground and since his crime is bailable and incurring only four months punishment in jail, the tragedy in the story is unwanted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favourbles<\/strong><br \/>\nGood acting, Cinematography, Music, a parade of famous directors in the film, hype of the film, good characterization.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Areas of Improvement\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\nUnbelievably lengthy, boring and dragging in many parts, an ordinary theme, no brilliance in scripting and direction.<\/p>\n<p>If the film is edited in to less than two hours movie people would have tolerated. Though the characterization and acting are good the film doesn\u2019t keep you neither engaged nor felt.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Verdict<\/strong>&#8211; A just average movie with much star cast.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Review Rating of Annayum Rasoolum &#8211; 5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/photo.php?fbid=422515774488879&amp;set=a.413603775380079.96424.412931128780677&amp;type=1\" target=\"_blank\">Credits<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A hit in Malayalam Cinema will have a thousand immediate followers in the same genre. \u201cThattathin Marayathu\u201d which cashed on the inter-religious love and vibrant youth psyche, has a follower in Annayum Rasoolum, which, but fails to sustain the viewers, except the brooding elite intelligentsia who believe in \u201cEternal Providence\u201d.
