Just after the new year celebrations in 2013, when Fahad Faazil had the image of a typical metro man, came a movie with him in the lead, directed by the now super director Rajeev Ravi - Annayum Rasoolum. When Madhu Neelakandan’s camera captured the typical Fort Kochi downtown with all originality as never before, Anna, the character portrayed by Andrea Jeremiah  was breathtakingly beautiful, with no added gloss to be precise. She wasn’t rich but she was any other girl one could find the streets of Fort Kochi.  

Time flew. In the middle of 2015 came, Premam, the celebration.  Every single girl in Premam was pretty. Alphonse Puthren nailed it. But Malar, the character portrayed by Sai Pallavi simply pulled the Malayali guys. From her face to smile to attire to even the little pimples on her face was bliss then. Deep in the heart, every boy wanted his girlfriend to be like Malar.

In 2016, Maheshinte Prathikaram was undoubtedly the movie that a common man could enjoy. Characters in the movie were so relatable to real life. Dileesh Pothen, the director of the movie did definitely take so much effort in keeping things very plain. In that effort came, Soniya, the character played by Lijomol Jose. The household attire and the appearance she was given and the way she portrayed on the screen was typically what we would see in real life. When talking about Maheshinte Prathikaram, it isn’t fair stopping without mentioning Jimsy, the character played by Aparna Balamurali. She simply lived it as an Idukkikaari.

Later in 2016, Anuraga Karikkin Vellam came without much noise. A clean entertainer it was. In 2017 when the Kerala State Awards were declared, Rejisha Vijayan, the lead actress in the movie grabbed the best actress award. Keeping that aside, there was face whom one will not forget that easy. In a scene in the movie. she had a terribly lovely smile when she put her brother in trouble right in front of Mom, disclosing the brother’s girl friend’s name. Aleena, the little girl who enacted the role of Anu, Abhi’s sister

Now it is 2017. The talk of the town is none other than the masterpiece Angamaly Diaries, by the master craftsman Lijo Jose Pellisseri. He boldly introduced eight six new people to cinema. You read it right. But nothing stops the movie from being an ace. When it comes to performance, it would be difficult to choose among the lead actors. So let us not do it now. The discussion is all around Lichi, played by Reshma Rajan. There is no point in questioning on how well Reshma portrayed  Lichi on screen. Because she is already the heartthrob of youngsters in Kerala. But somebody who has watched the movie must have laid eyes on Vincent Pepe’s sister. That lean girl. She is Athira Patel. Verdict - A perfect sister depicted on screen.
