Sam Alex was once a happy man with a lovable wife and a beautiful little girl.However in a terrorist attack,they were brutally killed right infront of his eyes.This sends him to depression and Sam takes his solace in alcohol.But no one can escape from their destiny.A new serialkiller is on the town and IG puts Sam to run a parallel enquiry in an unofficial manner.Although he was reluctant at first.He eventually agree on the insistence of his mother.The rest of the story is about how Sam manages to trace out the killer.
Once again, treatment given to subject made all the difference.Although script is a good one,direction and acting made all the difference.Jeethu Joseph done a brilliant job here.In a subject of this much serious overtones,director used the situations to evoke laughter.The director is back with a bang after two unimpressive attempts-'my boss' and 'mummy&me'.Sejo Johns' music is another good thing about the film.'Thirayum theeravum..'is one of the best melodies in recent years.When it comes to acting,Prithviraj overshadows all others.It's an outright prithviraj show.He carries the film on his shoulders right from the beginning till the end.He is fastly emerging as mollywoods' New superstar.Nedumudi Venus' priest,madhupals' doctor are other good factors.Meghna raj and Mia George who played the female leads did their part well.
But I feel the actor who played antogonist was not good for the job.He tried to bring his best ,and 'scare' people,but I found myself laughing my wits out watching his performance.Apart from this and a slightly draggy narration in the first half,memories is one of the best films ever made in mollywood.An engaging script,best performances and a brilliant direction makes memories a must watch.
RATING:9/10
VERDICT:A must watch..go for it..memories won't disappoint you.
