Bangalore Days Review|

Anjali Menon's 'Bangalore Days' is an exquisitely composed film, that has been hard-wired with an emotional intensity that is simply impossible to resist. Impressively directed and beautifully written, it blends in loads of happiness and a few heart aches, to dexterously attain a burnished sheen of its own.
As kids, cousins Arjun (Dulquer Salman), Kuttan (Nivin Pauly) and Divya (Nazriya Nazim), have always dreamt of having a blast in a happening city like Bangalore. Years later, Kuttan has turned into a terribly homesick techie, who during work breaks grabs a much needed respite from watching pics of a green backyard back home, Arjun into a runaway graffiti artist with a bike racer past, who despises his divorced parents and dreams of making it big someday without them, and Divya into a docile housewife for whom life has gone topsy-turvy post a hasty marriage. And yet, their dream remains
The insightful character studies that Anjali has on offer this time around are profoundly fascinating to say the least. The heartwarming portrait of a huge family that has had its share of springs and storms, thus hides within it subtexts of alienation, estrangement and loss, surprising us at times and almost shocking us at others.
It's not just the wedding song which is already a rage that affirms once and for all that this is a writer who knows the land that she hails from, like the inner palm of her hand. The unbelievable hustle bustle,
