In Malayalam movie Appan, directed by Maju, the geriatric Itty (Alencier), who suffers from one of the worst excesses of his advancing age, is a bigger b*tch. Itty, in my memory, is one of the most insufferable characters I have seen in recent times. Paralysed from waist down after a near fatal attack, Itty is now confined to his bed and relies on his family members, but that hasn't stopped him from being an A-grade a-hole that he always used to be. Anugraheethan Antony Movie Review: Sunny Wayne and Gauri Kishan’s Romantic Drama Is About Seeking Closure in Unexpected Ways. Of course, his family members bear the brunt of his barbs and insults and overbearing nature that seem to getting sharper by the day. Be it his wife Kuttyamma (Pauly Valsan), son Njoonju (Sunny Wayne, also co-producer) or daughter-in-law Rosy (Ananya), each respond to his caustism and abuses either with equal ferocity or pointed silences, but mostly former. They dream of his death, and considering the kind of sleazebag Itty was before (and even post) his incapacit...

Ittychan, his father is a bedridden man, but has always been and continues to be narcissistic, cruel, and a womaniser despite being bedridden. He harasses, abuses, and tortures his wife, Kuttyamma and Njoonju. All his family members wait longingly for his death. Many villagers who had bitter experience of his behavior in the past even makes plan to kill him.

Express News Service The idea of a dysfunctional family with a patriarch whose relatives look forward to his demise is not fresh, but that doesn’t mean there can’t be new ways of telling it. Filmmaker Maju’s second feature, Appan, navigates the same territory, but his synopsis suggests the film doesn’t go on the same tangent as Dileesh Pothan’s much-acclaimed Joji.

Appan, as the title suggests, is a tale of fathers and sons. Of sons haunted by their fathers’ legacies and sins. But it’s also a tale of four women who seek salvation from the oppressive atmosphere that engulfs them. The film has already received notes of appreciation from veteran scenarist Raghunath Paleri and noted journalist Pramod Raman after a preview screening. Maju tells us that the film wouldn’t have been possible without the support of Collective Phase One: Geetu Mohandas (filmmaker); Rajeev Ravi (filmmaker, cinematographer); B Ajithkumar (filmmaker, editor); and Madhu Neelakandan (cinematographer) that were instrumental in setting the project in motion. In a conversation with us, Maju cites the cinema of KG George as a primary influence for Appan, particularly when he set out to sketch Ittychan, the despicable patriarch with lecherous leanings essayed by Alencier Ley. “The story germinated from my reflections on migration and the wildness that en...
