Shubhayatra - Long back I saw this old Malayalam movie starring Jayram & Parvathi on a late night in Asianet, just for only one reason - Kamal. It was directed by my favourite director Kamal. Midway in the movie I slept because I was too tired that day. Since then 'Shubayatra' was haunting me, until I found it on the catalogue of Moserbaer Home Video. I bought it pronto and watched the rest of the movie a couple of days ago. It was a sweet and simple movie of two Malayalees played by Jayram & Parvathy, falling in love amidst the bustling life of Mumbai. They get married in a rushed ceremony, but Jayram and Parvathy live in their bachelor accomdation & ladies hostel respectively due to lack of home. Their struggle to set up a home was touching but told in a lighter vein. Especially when they land in a brothel case when trying to have sex in a lodge & get a friend's house to "spend" a night but they forget the lock code, so end up in the platform that night, we laugh at them but feel sorry for them at the same time. Now real life couple Jayaram & Parvathy were cute in their roles. A well made film from Kamal. If possible catch up in Moserbaer Home DVD, costing just Rs. 34/-.
