    9: A terrific visual experience - Mathrubhumi

    A strong script, powerful visual presentation and flawless casting are some of the factors which made ‘9’ directed by Jenuse Mohamed a memorable experience. As the first production venture of Prithviraj and Sony Pictures in a regional language, the movie goes beyond expectations.

    Prithiviraj plays as the astrophysicist Dr Albert Lewis who does research on stars and space phenomenon. With the demise of his wife Annie (Mamtha Mohandas) after delivery, his son Adam (Master Alok) is his only close relative. The father-son relationship is sometimes disturbed due to the death of his wife and hectic professional life. Meanwhile, Lewis’ mentor Dr. Innayat Khan approaches him to research on a phenomenon which would affect the whole world. Strange experiences were waiting for Lewis Albert who reaches Himachal for research. Things get more complex with the arrival of a guest named Eva (Wamiqa Gabbi).

    The ups and downs in the life of Albert Louis were safe with Prithviraj. Master Alok has equally performed well as Albert’s son. Alok has given life to the complex character which is sometimes above the limits of his age. ‘Godha’ fame Wamiqa Gabbi has played well as Eva. Though the role of Dr Innayat Khan doesn’t pose challenges to Prakash Raj, the crew deserves applause for the selection.

    The script writer-cum-director has succeeded in presenting the story which involves science, fiction and psychological issues without any confusion. When the recent movies set on big canvas have failed, Jenuse Mohamed developed the canvas according to the demands of the story. He could present a not-so-familiar story well to the Keralites.

    The storytelling method has used technical elements to the fullest. The excellence of technicality can be seen from the use of Red Gemini camera which gives great visuals in dim light and visual effects. Cinematography by Abinandhan Ramanujam is another highlight of the movie. Abinandhan’s signature is seen in the ordinary visuals inside offices and supermarkets in the beginning and later the beauty and wildness of the Himalayas in the later half.

    The background score of Sekhar Menon was excellent. Shaan Rahmaan’s music was good. Production designer Gokul Das and costume designer Sameera Saneesh also deserve acclaim.

    ‘Nine’ review: Psycho thriller treading unfamiliar terrains


    Jenuse Mohamed's Nine is a thriller with streaks of paranormal, built on a straight, uncluttered screenplay
    Nine has a canvas dripping reds and blacks — twilight seeping into the screen and setting various tones of grotesque, faces illuminated by the eerie glow of candles and frames exploring the texture of darkness. Its storyline stems from an intriguing premise, a cosmic phenomenon that leaves the earth without power and communication for a period spanning nine days. At the same time, Nine is not any desi sci-fi classic nor is its hero engaged in some doomsday adventure to save the galaxy. It's more of a psycho thriller with streaks of paranormal, built on a straight, uncluttered screenplay.

    Nine follows astrophysicist Albert (Prithviraj) and his 7-year-old son Adam (Alok) who reach the Himalayas to study the trajectory of a comet with a team of researchers. It is a world devoid of electricity and internet, complete with an air of foreboding amplified by mighty mountains and tribals who look at the red trail in the sky with eyes full of alarm. Rich in atmospherics, the narrative takes a spooky spin when Eva (Wamiqa Gabbi), a mysterious woman, joins the father-son duo in their sprawling bungalow.

    Nine treads unfamiliar terrains in Malayalam in its ambitious attempt to blend drama, horror, suspense and science fiction, and Jenuse Mohamed succeeds in it to a great extent. The film, despite its loose ends and incongruities, keeps you hooked to its novel and crisp narrative as the director works his way through the permeating sense of the unknown. While Abinandhan Ramanujam's camera effortlessly sweeps you to the vortex of horror and mystery, Sekhar Menon's sound design renders the film its near-perfect tempo. Prithviraj handles the intricacies of his character with utmost poise and Alok is adorable as little Adam. Wamiqa Gabbi delivers what is demanded as she negotiates the creepy twists and turns, never turning it into a bad trade-off.

    The only problem with Nine is its hurried climax, a grand revelation that lacks its indispensable crescendo. It required more build up and reel time before it slowly evolved to the point through more intriguing clues and calculations. The film features a highly skippable flashback song sequence, but it loses grit when the most crucial moment of the film arrives. Having said that, Nine is hardly mediocre any respect and the film is definitely a different and refreshing watch.
