Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Sooraj Pattazhy Memories _ My ReviewFinally watched the movie #Memories starring #Prithviraj , directed by #Jeethu_Joseph...When Prithvi and Jeethu, the actor and director with consecutive hit films, joined for a new venture, the expectations were already high and when the resultant movie too opened to highly positive response, naturally I was dying to watch it...I never expected that I could watch it in a theater.... First of all, thanks to the managers of Seema theatre, Pathanapuram for making me watch this flick...Coming to the film.... As I expected, Memories is really an excellent work, which can be sorted into the list of the best movies released this year....Sam Alex, who was one of the most efficient police officers, becomes a full time drunkard after the death of his wife and daughter...but his senior officer, who wants to make him right, asks Sam Alew to investigate a sensational case....The first half of Memories is filled with the memories of Sam Alex and him getting into the case, while the latter half is racy with intelligent sequences...First of all, I have to mention #Prithviraj for his excellent characterization as #SamAlex... I cannot imagine anyother actor except, Prithvi in this role.... He excelled as Drunkard.... Those mannerisms of him as a drunkard investigating and finding clues were really interesting and seemed novel to me... A diametrically opposite character from Antony Moses.... Prithvi is the man, on whose shoulders, Memories lies.... There was naturality in every scene and makes the viewer involve into the character.... The emotions of a sad man and sharpness of an intelligent cop were portaryed well by Prithvi...The next is... #Jeethu_Joseph.... The man who made Memores and Sam Alex... He wrote and directed the movie aptly without unnecessary sequences..... He directed the movie very well...those rescue operation scenes in the start and end were superb..... There was a kind of freshness in each and every scene... He has done the script of the movie too in a much interesting manner, filled with memories and findings... Those finding of clues, assumptions etc made by Sam Alex were really interesting.....kudos to Jeethu for that...There was no lag at any time and Jeethu managed to make Memories a complete thriller.....The reason behind killing the victims and the kind of killing etc, seemed to be new and refreshing....Bringing in certain elements of Christianity into the crime is really interesting....Climax, even though predictable to some context, managed to be a thrilling one, with intelligent sequences...During the chase sequence b/w Sam Alex and the killer, two men sitting near me laughed....fools, they never realise that, a full time drunkard, who is already drunk, cannot run much in the rain...Camera work of the movie is really an appreciable one.... Action sequences were also sleek... Mafia Sasi...u rock man...Coming to the musical section... there are two songs and both are worth hearing and are well picturised... The BGM was just good....even though it is matching the mood of the film, it could've been made much more impactive....The idea of placing graphics in between some scenes was very good.....The rest of the cast including Vijaya Raghavan, Vanitha, Mia, Meghna.....etc too done their parts well,. Finally, Rahul Madhav got a good film...he was also good...was matching the role as Prithvi's brotherEven though, Jeethu managed to make Memories a perfect thriller, there was no explanation for how an individual alone could commit such crimes, mainly hanging the victims in such heights......he should've made an explanation for that... Excluding that, there is nothing to be categorized as negative in the movie.....In the whole, #Memories is an excellent family thriller, blended with all elements of family, emotions and thrill....My rating: 8/10 ......EXCELLENT....... One of the best movies of 2013......don't miss it... Memories Never Die.....Thanks for reading ma review.....Any mistakes should be forgiven....

yashmishra91 The Film is indeed one of the brilliant Indian thrillers made till date with a tinge of romance, drama and neo noir by director Jeethu Joseph (shares my birthday!) after giving all hit films "Detective" (2007), "Mummy and Me" (2010) and "My Boss" (2012) in his career which has shades of films like "Windstruck" (Korea/2004) and "Talaash" (2012) which scores full marks in it's original and taut screenplay (Joseph), the characters who are warm and humane, the brilliant editing by John Kutty which plays a pivotal role in maintaining the chills and thrills in some of the scenes brilliantly edited by him and the music score by Sejo John and Anil Johnson which is equally pivotal and instrumental as the editing in the film. The cinematography by Sujith Vaassudev is brilliant. The flaw in the film, lies in the melodrama, the dialogue scenes which could have been crisper and the visual effects which actually somewhere, look a bit awkward. In the performances, Mia George, Srijeeth Ravi and Vijayaraghavan are brilliant. The others are good and Prithviraj churns out yet another brilliant performance after a spate of his marvelous performances in films like "Celluloid" and 'Mumbai Police", which has shades of Aamir Khan (Sarfarosh and Talaash), Shahrukh Khan (Devdas) and Abhay Deol (Dev D). Overall, director Joseph's narration maintains a good hold over his narration with a killer climax in the end, making the film a must watch. My rating would be: 4/5

sohansurag Memories, is a noteworthy movie that comes from Jeethu Joseph who previously gave us the mediocre yet entertaining My Boss, Mummy & Me and Detective. It was quite unexpected for me that he's come up with a movie with such a gripping and entertaining plot. I mean I knew he had skills, evident from his other movies, but Memories turned out to be quite a welcome change from his recent flicks.Memories uncannily stands out among the recent hyped releases from Ranjith, Lal Jose and Samir Thahir, and with good reason. The lesser you know about Memories the better experience it'd be. Though in a nutshell, it's about a tragedy-stricken, alcoholic police officer named Sam Alex who's shoved into investigating a series of murder cases. The first half of the movie effectively portrays how much distress Sam was in and in the second act the narrative smoothly slides into the investigative mode.Its been marketed as a psychological thriller, it is definitely a thriller but hardly psychological (an exception being the main antagonist). The pacing was at its finest in Memories allocating equal time for character development and, in its second half, where it transitions into a good thriller. And among all that, there was barely a boring scene anywhere which keeps things intriguing. The second half was more akin to a true whodunnit mystery which keeps you guessing till its revelation in the finale.Despite the quasi-star-studded cast of the movie, the sole spotlight was on Prithviraj and he effortlessly handled his role of Alex. I wouldn't say its his best performance till date, thats still set aside to his performance as J C Daniel in Celluloid. Commendable performances from Vijayaraghavan, Suresh Krishna kept things flowing. Brownie points for the antagonist which I have no intention of revealing here. (Thank me! :P)Memories doesn't have the best cinematography or the finest score and the cg was silly and unnecessary but what it lacks there, it more than makes up for, in its intriguing narrative and direction. Its a promising thriller from director Jeethu Joseph which comes off as a plain thriller with no frills attached that never goes over-the-top neither does it fail to entertain you at any point. Watch this one at the big screen and before someone spoils it for you.

zonyzony01 first of all this movie gives us a good relif and all the praise,the movie is getting is completely based on two factor-prithviraj and 2nd half. direction-jeethu Joseph is not complete let down,but reducing of the family emotional drama could be able to make it a fine thriller.performance-prithviraj is the hero,Wat a splendid performance after superb mumbai police.story-the first half of the movie is completely on family drama and could makes you little bored....... but just before the intreval portion,the movie becomes a superb thriller.totally,its one of finest thrillers in last few years alongside(grandmaster,mumbai police......but it could the best thriller if it was executed in little more carefully........but a pleasant watch...
