Now, Chacko with the help of one of his friends find a guest house
for the girls in Nelliyampathi, in the middle of the forest. But on
their way they meet with an accident and are forced to walk a long way
through the forest. They meet Raghuram( Mammootty) a wild life photographer
from USA who was taking pictures of a rare bird for National Geographic
channel in the forest. Initially the girls didn't like him but later
they became friends. Raghuram tells the girls about Kalyani, the village
chief's daughter that he had met during his stay in the village. He
also informs them that Kalyani who had a good resemblance with his sister,
just disappeared one day. The rest of the movie flips back and forth
creating a climax and reveal the past of Raghuram as the story unfolds.
'Aparichithan' literally means 'The Stranger' and definitely the movie
has a strange story and you will get a strange feeling by watching it.
Directed and co-written by Sanjeev Shivan, brother of the famous Cinematographer-director
Santhosh Sivan, technical aspects of the movie is well done. But the screen
play suffers after the first half due to sloppy writing by the director
and A.K Sajan. Mammootty carries the film very well. He has performed
his part convincingly. Good looking Kavya does justice to her role. Music,
lyrics and story are just mediocre.
We rate this movie Average.
