Mizhikal Sakshi Casting veteran actress Sukumari in the lead role in Mizhikal Sakshi is a brilliant move by director Asok R. Nath. She plays the role of a mute and bereaved mother who has fond memories of her dead son. With her vast experience, Sukumari has given an incredibly emotive performance. So long as this character appears on screen, the film keeps tugging at the heartstrings. But, there are moments when it shifts to lofty sermons about patriotism and turns quit e tiresome. The script is by Anil Mukhathala. Some scenes in the film take a dig at contemporary society. The coming together of K.J. Yesudas, O.N.V. Kurup and V. Dakshinamoorthi after a gap of 20 years is heartening. Ramachandra Babu, the cinematographer, has succeeded in capturing the anguish, anxiety and fear of Kooniyamma in close-ups. Beena Paul’s editing proves her craftsmanship. The movie produced by V.R. Das for Cyber Vision is worth a watch.
