like the lines in the item song of padmapriya ''nallorellam pathalathl borenmaro swarlokathil''in this so called new generation wave[making malayalam fims by copying foreign films released ten or five years back]in malayalam cinema this is the position of good film makers nowadays. films like bachelor party proves this once again.
If someone in Hollywood, say for e.g., Tarantino had made Bachelor Party, Mr.Palicha would have praised it for its style and panache. He would have commended the dialoges as humorous and would have given a thumbs up for its great set-peice action sequences. Alas, Bachelor Party is not a Hollywood film and hence unbearable. True, the film is based on the Taiwanese film 'Exiled', but well adapted to our conditions. This is a deliberately stylish action film and to criticize the dress the actors wear in the film is childish to say the the least. The opening scene shot in a fish farm is a peice of very fine cinematography and the use of overhead shots is imaginative. Just as I enjoyed Arike or Spirit, I enjoyed Bachelor Party too. I think Palicha has mistaken Bachelor Party to be the official Indian entry to this year's Oscars in the Foreign Film Category!

I have noticed that you always criticize Mohanlal. It seems that you are frustrated but pls get your facts right before you comment. The budget of Spirit is 3.5 crores (All Renjit movies are like this). The first 4 day collection came close to 3.1 crores. So without including the satellite rights itself the movie will be a hit from the second week itself. The initial collection of BP was also good. It got close to 2.3 crores within three days. But the budget of BP is close to 8 crores. So if collections go down it will turn to be a disaster.

alavalathy ur character suits ur name!u don't even have the dignity to comment on a class movie like spirit,simply speaking bla bla,if u want to criticize everyone first u should make a movie and prove urself,it's very easy job sitting back and criticize others,pathetic to say the least!
Paresh C. Palicha\\\'s reviews are getting unbearable.
Bachelor Party is not a great film, but its a different movie, different for a malayalee viewer, different for a malayalam film. The humour is laced and enjoyable. There are flaws, but then who and what doesn\\\'t have? Rather than looking at it in a negative way, why not look at the positives. Its a fun movie, good timing and one-liners, decent performance, one superbly choreographed dance (the one with Ramya Nambeesan), well executed action scenes, and a good bonding among the male leads, what more do you want from a commercial movie meant to entertain. Let us encourage a director like Amal Neerad. He will surely get better and better.

True.Film Reviews are wells of negative reasoning.
Mr Paresh Pallicha is a professional and he may have professional reasons for his way with reviews.
But these days every single guy is out with their own reviews abt films which they think is their way to badmouth a creative product. I am sick of reading all those so-called (negative) reviews in facebook and every other site.
If we are trying to find negatives every film will have that. Every one of the so-termed classics.
It's high time censorship is placed for reviewers!! They alone can kill a moviegoers enthusiasm to watch and decide.What the....!

Mr Menon, Amal Neerad is a good cinematographer but not a good director. He has proved this in all his movies.
"Sin City" was a movie I caught on TV some time back. A so-called dark movie, what is now known as film noir or neo noir and all that?
The movie is shown as various episodes, one being "The Hard Goodbye", a graphic representation of a gory tale.
Incidentally "Bachelor Party" reminded me of that episode of Sin City.
Amal Neerad is going crazier with each movie. May be he is reaching his real self like a true artist and hope Arival Chuttika Nakshatram will be his magnum opus. Well well all of these 4 films (BIG B, Sagar alias Jackyy, Anwar nad bachelor Party) gained mixed reponses, to the extent that some like them very much while some just hate them;in any case Mr Neerad has carved a genre of his own, well in Malayaalm Cinema that is.
And Mr reviewer, I suggest you don't have to stoop to a level of the regular audience (that includes me, we audience can cry or howl or whatever abt a movie u know :)). But you should be reviewing a cinema on a global outlook. You don't have to advice us if a movie is “bearable” or not.
Instead u can make a study abt the film and present it here. That wud be better than making statements like "unbearable". Please take this in good spirits.

Mr,I would like to draw ur attention to what writer Harlan Ellison told about stupidity. He said, “You are not entitled to your opinion. You are entitled to your informed opinion. No one is entitled to be ignorant.” :)
This movie has got a terrible opinion but attracting major crowds from Day 1. In comparision Mohanal's Spirit got good reviews but zero crowd from day 1 and falling fast. Kerala movie goers prefer anything to the Big M's nowadays
