Can you embrace somebody without actually throwing your arms around the person? Yes, it is possible with feel good movies taking you on a whirlwind ride filled with romance, friendship, and warm and fuzzy relationships. Recently released Malayalam Family Drama Halal Love Story is an example of a perfect blend of emotions offering every movie lover a true delight for the head and the heart. Here are the 4 things you probably didn’t know about the movie but will give you even more reasons to watch the movie now.

Director Zakariya Mohammed’s comeback after 2 years : Zakariya earned his place as one of Malayalam cinema’s brightest young talents with his blockbuster debut Sudani From Nigeria in 2018. After two years, he is back with another heart-warming film packed with memorable characters, hilarious scenes, and feel-good fuzziness making it a must watch. Within hours of the release of Halal Love Story, the eagerly awaited film has already created a lot of buzz across social media.

On-screen reunion of Indrajith Sukumaran, Joju George, Soubin Shahir, and Parvathy Thiruvothu after VIRUS : The interesting amalgamation of veterans and the young guns as the cast in the film, including Indrajith Sukumaran, Joju George, Parvathy Thiruvothu and Soubin Shahir, after the hugely successful film Virus is delightful. While Indrajith is seen meticulously balancing two roles – one as an actor struggling to act well in the film within the film, a special mention to Nazar Karutheni for his flawless acting. One could also see Nilambur Ayisha at her best even if it was for a small role.

Hilarious plot- a movie inside a movie : A lot of the humor in the film comes from the interesting track where a film is being made within the film. Soubin Shahir, the brilliant actor from Sudani From Nigeria and Kumbalangi Nights, has a hilarious cameo as a sound recordist who shuts down the village in his quest for the perfect take. In the film, we see character Siraj (played by Joju George) finds it difficult to keep his messy personal life out of the shoot. The writer Taufeeq (played by Sharaf U Dheen) plays peacemaker to ensure that the film is completed. The haphazard life of characters is well portrayed on the screen making it a rib-tickling movie.

Real Locations, Foley sound and Soothing Music : In the film, the director has managed to keep the audiences hooked with a power-packed screenplay shot in some real locations of a village in Calicut and with local people. The background score stands out in the film and is pure Foley sound composed during the shoot and not in hi-tech studios. ‘Sundaranayavane’, the soulful melody is a gem and Muhsin Parari’s lyrics takes you to a state of bliss. The other song, ‘Bismillah’ is also a melody that will immedeitatly capture you and take you on an emotional ride.

Indrajith Sukumaran’s challenges, relatability factors about his character in ‘Halal Love Story’

CineBuster Online | Updated — Fri, 16 Oct 2020 07:30:24 +0000

The much awaited Halal Love Story has finally released on Amazon Prime Videos and a lot of moments and scenes from the film have resonated well with the audience, keeping the relatability factor high. Indrajith spills the beans about his character, relatability and much more. The actor shared, “As a character, it is definitely very exciting. There is cinema and there is cinema inside the cinema.”

Adding more about the character he further adds, “This character’s name is ‘Shareef’ and he is basically a bad actor so when considering actors for cinema inside the cinema, he’s probably the last option among many but they end up coming back to ‘Shareef’ and he gets casted as the lead in this film so there is a thin line because there are these portions where Shareef performs inside the movie and he’s not a good actor, so he has to be bad while performing.”

Speaking on his experience of almost two decades Indrajith ends by saying, “You know with your experience over the past 18 years, when you get a character you tend to make it good, you work hard to make it good. But, then that was not possible here. It was all about portraying it as bad as you can. But, then there was this confusion among everybody about how far that can go because there are portions of cinema inside cinema how much ‘Shareef’ could perform and to what level we could go. It shouldn’t be artificial at the same time it should look natural, naturally bad is what I would like to say.”

Ending on the note with the challenges Indrajith says, “So on that note it was very challenging and we had our own discussions amongst ourselves and we had multiple takes for the same scenes with different options. We used to see those takes and decide on which take to keep working. So it was a very challenging process as an actor to be discussing so much and to be giving different takes on different lines and deciding on which one to keep. Very interesting on that note of ‘Shareef’.”

Halal Love Story stars an Indrajith Sukumaran, Jojo Geeorge, Grace Antonry, Parvathy Thiruvothu, Soubin Shahir and Sharaf U Dheen in it’s pivotal roles.

The film is directed by Zakariya Mohammed and bankrolled by Aashiq Abu, Harshad Ali, and Jesna Ashim.

The Malayalam comedy drama, is available for all Prime members in over 200 countries and territories.

Thought provoking yet rib tickling Halal Love Story‘s trailer unveiled

CineBuster Online | Updated — Wed, 07 Oct 2020 17:04:24 +0000

Amazon Prime Video today released the exciting new trailer of the highly-anticipated family entertainer film Halal Love Story. The film stars Joju George as an unorthodox director, Indrajith Sukumaran as the charming Shereef, Sharaf U Dheen as an unmarried young lad from an orthodox family named Thoufeek, along with Grace Anthony and Parvathy Thiruvothu in pivotal roles. The trailer of the comedy drama takes us through the perfectly imperfect journey of a group of cinema lovers from Kerala who are passionate about creating their own film but are subjected to a few guidelines to make their dreams finally come true.

The film within the film aims to adhere to religious beliefs at every point of its production and keeps them ‘lawfully’ right from its screenplay to its casting, and even to the entire shooting process. In the pursuit of making a film that suits their beliefs, chaos and confusion follows!

Back with another thought-provoking film that will leave the audiences in splits this time, director Zakariya Mohammed said, “For me, Halal Love Story is a funny, yet beautiful, commemoration of the art of storytelling in all its forms. I am grateful to my co-writers Muhsin Parari and Ashif Kakkodi, who made this chaotic comedy possible alongside me. With a unique perspective brought to life by our strong ensemble, I am confident that the viewers will enjoy this chronicle that tries to manifest that cinema is for everyone.”

Speaking on the film, Indrajith Sukumaran, superstar of the Malayalam film industry, said, “The character Shereef is quite layered. He wants to conquer his passion for acting, but at the same time wants to do right by following his beliefs. The movie impacts him in more ways than the other and in the due process completely changes his outlook towards his personal life. Playing a humourous and a complicated Shereef was a phenomenal experience and I will forever be thankful to Zakariya and Aashiq Abu for giving me this opportunity.”

Deemed to be one of the busiest actors in recent times with many blockbuster hits at his bay, Malayalam’s favourite actor Joju George said, “It is always fun to be a part of comedy films, especially one that is engulfed in errors. What was most appealing to me is the opposing views that my character Siraj offers whilst taking on the challenge of directing this Halal film. As my character struggles at every phase, it’s the brilliance of the writers who envisioned the comedic charm in the film. It was indeed a wonderful experience to work alongside such a incredible cast and crew.”

Thoufeek, an unmarried young man from a very orthodox family, is highly passionate about filmmaking. He is an active member and plays a key role in one of Kerala’s popular Islamic Organisations, which has kept his cinema dreams in halt. He’s approached by Raheem and Shereef with the idea of making a film as an initiative of the cultural wing of his organisation. They soon approach Siraj, a popular associate director to don the cap of the director. The biggest challenge for the crew is to keep the movie ‘Halal’ (Halal – a term as per Quran which means “lawful” or “allowed to do” under Islamic beliefs). As the crew follows religious guidelines in every phase of the filmmaking, massive confusions happen. An unorthodox Siraj (film director) struggles to go ahead with the project.
