An Open Letter to director Aashiq Abu
Dear director,
How are you doing? I am basically a gujarati and cant
understand a single world from Malayalam/Tamil/Telugu language. Though, after
watching some regional movies of south, I regularly follow and watch them. When
I was reading an article about top 5 malyalam movies of 2012, your “22 Female
Kottayam” was listed in it. And I came to know that you have directed a v good
film named Salt n’ Pepper previously, and hence watched it.
The movie is about a man - Kalidas who is foodie right from
the childhood, and a woman - Maya who is equally in love with food coz it
reminds her of her mother, and how both of them came in to touch with each
other. Both of them can’t be called boy and girl coz they have almost crossed
40s. Both of them are not much having stunning looks and as they know it, they
are always in constant concern of the same.
I must tell you, it was quite different and interesting.
Especially the first half regarding the food and everything was having
definitely the different theme of the film, however the second half is quite
bit regular kinda romantic film. Though, the performances of Lal (Kalidas) and
Shweta Menon (Maya) doesn’t let you bore.
Asif Ali who plays Kalidas’ nephew
Manu is okay and Mythilli who plays Maya’s room mate Meenaxi is okay too,
though she looks quite good in the song featuring her and Manu. Baburaj who
plays the cook performs really well, rest of all have nothing much to do.

Well, enjoyed the movie, though cant say it one of the best.
Looking for your ”22 Female Kottayam” too.
3 cheers out of 5 from me.
Regards,
The 70mm Raamadheer Singh - Hardik Raychanda
