Lijo’s ‘Kalyanam’: Marriage of Confusion!



Lijo’s ‘Kalyanam’: Marriage of Confusion!

Saumesh Thimbath


Friday Film House, the production house which brought a whiff of freshness into Malayalam cinema with movies like Friday 11.11.11 Alappuzha, Zachariyayude Garbinikal and Philips and The Monkey Pen, has announced their next project. The move which is titled Kalyanam is to be directed by Lijo Jose Pellissery, the director the industry is watching in awe after the remarkably beautiful Amen. The movie stars Vijay Babu and the female lead is yet to be finalized.

At the heart of the movie is an interesting and quirky tale. As the name suggests, the movie is about a wedding. And on the day of the wedding, when everything is set and the holy matrimony is about to be materialized, somebody important goes missing. No, you guessed it wrong - it’s the groom who goes missing this time around. Well, he is not out sloshed somewhere after a bachelor party and nor has he ran off with another girl. He is kidnapped! You might be imagining the groom tucked up between two overgrown guys with a bag over his head in the back of a Tata Sumo.

Nope, he has been kidnapped by the bride’s female friends. Why? Who are these friends? All we have to say is repeat that famous line the old movie posters ended with…’sesham vellithirayil’ (Watch the rest on the silver screen)! Keep coming back to this space for more updates on the movie.
