GOLD MOVIE REVIEW
The theatre was filled with hoots and cheers on a Thursday morning for a film that had no trailer, marketing gimmicks, or promotions. That is the lure of Alphonse Putheran and his unique filmmaking. After giving us hits like Neram and Premam, he took a seven-year-long break and returned with Gold, starring Prithviraj Sukumaran, Nayanthara, Mallika Sukumaran, Shammy Thilakan, Lalu Alex, Ajmal Ameer, and many more.
Gold follows Joshi, owner of a mobile store in the Sumangali Shopping Complex, who wakes up one fine morning to find a deserted Bolero parked in front of the gate, blocking entrance. With his brand new GT Polo set to arrive later that day, he heads to the police station to have the pickup truck towed. What follows is a series of events that unfold the mysteries of Bolero and its contents.
With little to no marketing but a 7-year-long wait to see a Putheran directorial, Gold instilled much expectations in fans. The movie manages to meet some of these expectations but not all. With some stylish editing, catchy BGM, and certain clap-worthy moments, the Prithviraj starrer is entertaining. However, when compared to Putheran’s previous ventures, Gold falls short on being a through-and-through entertainer.
What kept the fans going despite a simple plot was the star-studded nature of the movie. Each scene would bring in a well-known face, resulting in hooting and cheering. Credit must be given to Putheran for making these entries seamless and sensible for the most part. However, with so many actors taking screen time, individual performances don't get enough time to make an impression.
The BGM and music of the film is its highlight along with its heady editing. Prithviraj Sukumaran's acting is yet another endearing aspect of Gold, for he charmingly entertains you throughout the runtime. Supporting cast like Lalu Alex and Chemban Vinod add to the fun elements of the movie.
Where Gold falls short is its lack of significant screen time for its female lead, Nayanthara, along with a few other characters. However, with all its faults (as admitted by Putheran himself in a tweet), the film remains enjoyable and a decent watch for the weekend.
