Ayalum Njanum Thammil (Malayalam: അയാളും ഞാനും തമ്മിൽ) is a 2012 Malayalam romantic thriller film directed by Lal Jose,
produced by Prem Prakash and distributed by Century Films. Written by
brothers Bobby and Sanjay, and
starring Prithviraj, Narain, Samvrutha Sunil, Rima Kallingal, Pratap Pothen and Remya Nambeesan in the lead roles.
Ayalum Njanum Thammil is a candid and honest story of a
committed senior doctor and an irresponsible junior doctor and through
their relationship, a picture of the medical profession is drawn
vividly. The soundtrack and background score are composed by Ouseppachan
while Vayalar Sarath Chandra Varma
pens the lyrics for the songs. The film released on 19 October 2012 to
widespread critical acclaim. The movie got a great opening at the Box
office and turned out to be a large commercial success.
The film radiates a grace that gently switches
between the past and the present to reveal the life of Dr Ravi
Tharakan (Prithviraj). Right from the moment, the tired face of Ravi
Tharakan emerges from the dark; Prithviraj
seems to be absolutely certain about his character. It is as though he
willingly indulges in a process of redemption.
In the film he looks so very human and makes it work with a restraint. Even the playful abandon he lends to his impulsive medical student period suits his character. His polished face, which remains stony for quite some time, is touchingly expressive in some scenes where he does nothing but stare. Sometimes he's teary-eyed, sometimes angry.
But never before has his stare seemed more meaningful and in the process Ravi Tharakan becomes one of the most brilliant portrayals done by the actor. He does not flinch even in the presence of Prathap Pothan (Dr Samuel) who at times overpowers Ravi.
Both actors strike an instant rapport and they just fly along with the narrative. Two scenes are strikingly moving. Ravi refuses to treat a little girl and she waits till Dr Samuel arrives. He treats her and takes a step towards Ravi. It seems a volcano is about to erupt and Samuel slaps him.
In another scene, Ravi is at his mentor's grave. His face is calm, save a tear trickling down his face. He glances down at the grave meditatively and sighs. He does not break down, slowly turns around and walks back. The scene testifies what Prithviraj has got within him to whip out a stirring moment even from perfect silence.
