Ezhamathe Varavu Review

Story: The film depicts the conflict between the man and the animal in a tribal hamlet and at the same time, deals with the emotional upheavals of characters who share a common past.
Ezhamathe Varavu abounds in myths, legends and some frames that are sheer enchantment. The film is about a raging conflict, mostly among men and rarely between the man and the animal. An archaeologist, Prasad (Vineeth), arrives at a tribal hamlet on official duty. He is welcomed by planter Gopi (Indrajith) and his wife Bhanu (Bhavana) who was his love during the college days.
A man-eating tiger wreaks havoc in the hamlet and a tribal girl spins mythical tales about the feline, to which Prasad is all ears. While M T Vasudevan Nair spreads the plot with loads of tales, legends and beliefs, he is at a loss trying to fix his focus, something that is very unlikely of a gifted story-teller.
From the impending struggle between the man and the beast, the narrative slips into a slapdash exchange of recollections between the old-lovers soaked with sighs, tears and suspicions. The intrusion of mush almost ruins an otherwise beautifully conceived theme. Even the metaphors that are drawn in the film, like the ploys to liken the ravaging man to a predating beast, fall flat for the tale gets lost in an aimless flow of memories.
