May Movie Madness: Snehaveedu in Six Words

Love trumps all, even blood ties.

Snehaveedu ("The House of Love", Malayalam, dir. Sathyan Anthikad, 2011)

Starring: Mohanlal, Sheela, Padmapriya, Biju Menon, Innocent, K. P. A. C. Lalitha, Mamukkoya, Rahul Pillai, Reeja, Chembil Ashokan, Lena, Urmila Unni, Arundathi, Sasi Kalinga, Appukutty, Praveen Premkumar

Worth Revisiting? Yes. A solid, decently crafted film from director Sathyan Athikad. Some reviews have suggested it's too much of a familiar Anthikad formula, but as I've not seen any of the director's previous films, I rather enjoyed it. A lovely slice of life in rural Kerala, an interesting theme, and some terrific performances from everyone in the cast.
