Varathan is a liberal Keralite couple's POV and experiences in a part of
Kerala, which suspiciously feels more Bihar than Kerala (IMHO.) More on
the Bihar situation later. In addition to having two stylish lead
actors - Fahadh Faazil and Aishwarya Lakshmi,
style has been injected into the track by the liberal use of slow
motion. It is wonderful to watch Aiswarya Lakshmi evolve as an actress,
although this movie is essentially a Fahadh vehicle where he headlines
in and as the film title (character.) The easy
going chemistry between the lead pair contributes much to the
smoothness of the narrative.
Costumes, casting, BGM, sound track and production design are
excellent. The frames are beautifully metaphorical. The
cockroach-killing metaphor is an overkill, if you ask me, but then again
you have to appeal to all sorts of audience.
