{mosimage}Thanks to Anish, I managed to catch up with the long due - malayalam hit "Classic" in DVD. I expected a nostalgic movie instead Lal Jose has dished out a real thriller. Even though I have heard spoilers about the suspect much earlier, the reason it unfolded on screen was mind blowing. For those who hadn't seen / heard about "Classmates", it is all about a group of friends Prithviraj, Kavya Madhavan, Indrajith, Radhika, Jayasurya meeting after a long 15 years in connection with inaugration of a music hall in rememberance of their dead friend Narein. On that party night an attempt is made on the life of Prithviraj. The investigation takes the story back to the early 90's where the campus politics were prevalent. "Classmates" could go down as a perfect screenplay in the Malayalam cinema, establishing itself as a cult classic in a shorter span. We have a few people in mind for prospect suspect, but the scenes that repeat in the last flashback from the convict just surprises you like a hell. Functional music, cinematography and a commendable performance from the lead players makes this movie a viewer's delight.
