Though not a full on entertainment or masala movie, ‘Ennu Ninte Moideen’ raises socially relevant questions, discusses politics and recreates the 60s realistically.
The couple, however, continue to hold on to frail strands of hope for more than two long decades. When they were in their 40’s and Kanchanamala’s siblings had settled down after marriage, they try to elope only to fail each time due to unforeseen circumstances.
The couple hold on to frail strands of hope for more than two long decades. However, in their confinement, they worked out their own encoded language for communication and sent letters via trusted servants. They stay separated for 20 odd years and it was impossible for them to talk, let alone meet. However, strong opposition only strengthen their love for each other. Kanchanamala is forced to discontinue her studies and put under house arrest while Moideen is thrown out of his home for refusing to marry a girl of his father’s choice. Inter-faith marriage was a big taboo back then and the chaos begins with the families breaking all links with each other. Once the families find out the love between the two, they are aghast and angered despite the long-standing secular thoughts that the families exhibit in society. The beginning of the movie has some sparkling chemistry between the two. When Kanchanamala anonymously receives a collection of poems where words expressing love are underlined, which she deciphers, love blossoms between them. It is understood that both admire each other from childhood. Moideen and Kanchanamala were childhood friends. While Kanchanamala is shown to be an intelligent and fearless girl who rebels against her Christian hostel management for disparity in the food quality based on economic status. They are at endless war against each other. Moideen is portrayed as a multifaceted charming footballer, writer and an intense socialist who is against the Congress ideology of his father (Sai Kumar). The powerful story is a far cry from the modern day puppy love stories coming out of Bollywood. ‘Ennu Ninte Moideen’ is a real life story portraying love, hope, despair and tragedy in the life of two characters from orthodox families – Moideen (Prithviraj Sukumaran), a Muslim boy and Kanchanamala (Parvathy Menon), a Hindu girl, in the backdrop of Calicut (Mukkom) of the 1960s.
Malayalam blockbuster film is playing in theaters across the US, Canada.
