June movie review: Slice-of-life Malayalam cinema meets the coming-of-age genre to gentle effect

Along with the schmaltzy, over-stretched climax that extends way beyond the nostalgia it intends to convey, it subtracts from the overall impact of June

There is no genre better suited to the widely celebrated New Age slice-of-life Malayalam cinema than the coming-of-age film. Writer-director Ahammed Khabeer facilitates a well-suited match between the two in June, the story of a young woman from Kottayam called June Sara Joy.

Khabeer’s film, which he has co-written with Libin Varghese and Jeevan Baby Mathew, travels with the girl from her teens to her 20s, from her first day in Class 11 to approximately a decade later, accompanying her through adolescent crushes and adult romance, her relationships with parents and friends, encounters with misogyny and patriarchy, and her pursuit of her dreams.

June makes for an interesting choice of heroine, because there is absolutely nothing remarkable about her or uncommon about her experiences. In fact, this is how she introduces herself to her class on Day 1, as someone with no special talents unlike the rest of them.

In the time we spend with her as viewers, nothing happens that would seem dramatic to the average observer, no tragedy, no great achievement. Yet in her own eyes, of course, her life is packed with drama as we see her shed buckets of tears through a major confrontation with her normal-as-hell parents and other situations.

This perhaps is the point being made by the writers: that what seems routine to the outside world can be trying, stressful, joyful, exhilarating and/or depressing by turns to the person going through what we are just watching. That “normal” and “ordinary” are often a matter of interpretation.

Khabeer’s storytelling style is easygoing, naturalistic and a good fit here. While June could have done with a paring down of the number of songs fitted into the narrative, Lijo Paul’s editing works well for it. We are occasionally taken back and forth in time through the many passages in the protagonist’s life, with Paul making smooth jumps that usually illustrate how she got to a particular point or how she has changed.

Rajisha Vijayan, who debuted to critical acclaim in 2016 with  Anuraga Karikkin Vellam , has the task of portraying this blossoming youth. She is most convincing in June’s teenage years when she captures the child-woman’s sprightly demeanour, affectionate nature, immaturity and innate decency in equal measure without over-cutesifying her, and again in the transitional phase during which she confronts gender prejudice with undiluted spirit. Not so convincing is the writing and acting of the oldest June we get to see in the film when she is well into her 20s. This is a young woman who was shown to have matured in preceding scenes, yet her body language remains unchanged and her artificially energetic, child-like behaviour comes across as contrived during her first meeting with a new beau, when she seems like a bit of a regurgitation of the old Manic Pixie Dream Girl cliché.

Her physique and styling too seem unaltered. I have read that Vijayan lost considerable weight to play the teenaged June. The problem is that she looks exactly like the teenaged June right up to the last scene. I do not understand why anyone thought this actor needs help to look younger. The fact is her appearance is so youthful, that she could have done with better makeup and an intelligent stylist to look older for the 20-something June.

This is also a concern with at least two of the actors playing her classmates who look too baby-faced to be women well on their way to 30 in the end. The boys are much more believable as men and, in truth, some of them are less believable as schoolkids.

By this point in the film though, much water has passed under the bridge, and Ms Vijayan under Mr Khabeer’s guidance has drawn us so inexorably into June’s existence, that I, for one, as a viewer, found myself in an indulgent mood.

The Dad quietly pouring her her first drink while the mother is not watching, her first kiss, her first open battle with patriarchy are all handled perfectly naturally without creating a big shindig around them as other contemporary commercial filmmakers do. However, the one folly — and a big folly it is — is the inconsistency in the definition of June’s dream. (Some readers may consider the rest of this paragraph a spoiler) In one crucial, well-executed portion, she is shown avidly fighting for a woman’s right to be more than just a stay-at-home mother whose decisions are made by a dictatorial husband. Not long after, an important character asks her what precisely her own dreams are for herself. She has no answer then, and by the the finale, both she and the writers seem to have either lost interest in finding one or have completely forgotten about it. (Spoiler alert ends)

This forgetfulness implies a lack of commitment. Along with the schmaltzy, over-stretched climax that extends way beyond the nostalgia it intends to convey, it subtracts from the overall impact of June.

Still, there is plenty to like in this teens-to-20s saga, not the least reasons being its gentle tone, Rajisha Vijayan’s likeable screen presence, and her comfortable chemistry with her co-stars, especially the lovely Joju George playing her liberal-yet-conservative Dad and Sarjano Khalid who is cast as her first boyfriend.

I would gladly re-watch June just for the joy of revisiting the warmth in the leading lady’s scenes with her indulgent father.

June (2019) Malayalam Movie Review – Veeyen

There is a mature balance that Khabeer strikes in ‘June’ that is also its most redeeming feature, and he lures us into a world that we have lived in all the while. He then sits us down and tells us a tale that we have probably lived ourselves. It’s a bittersweet story that gets us nodding in no time, it’s the month of June, and it rains.

Ahammed Khabeer’s ‘June’ shines the spotlight on a young girl on the brink of adulthood, as she warily makes the final crossover and treads onto the swarming highway that is life. A notable directorial debut that announces the arrival of some real talent in screen writing as well (Ahammed Khabeer, Jeevan Baby Mathew  & Libin Varghese), ‘June’ gives teen cinema a fresh face that is rejuvenating to the core.

June (Rejisha Vijayan) has her eyes stuck on a fresher boy with a video camera in his hands, on the first day of her plus two course and is overjoyed when she realizes that he is going to be her classmate for the next two years. Noel (Sarjano Khalid) – as his name turns out to be – starts off with a stammer in the self introduction session that follows, but as the two years swiftly fly by, the two discover what it means to be in love.

It’s a merry bunch that Khabeer comes up with, to occupy the benches of the higher secondary commerce batch of 2006 – a jovial crowd of youngsters, led by an amicable Maya Miss (Sruthy Jayan). There is the A-Su-Ra trio (Sanju KS, Akhil Manoj & Harisankar) to start with, followed by Mottachi (Vaishnavi Venugopal), the arm wrestling champ, Fida (Raveena Nair) who dreams of making it as a model someday and Sreelekshmi (Sruthy Suresh) who would have really liked a Harry Potter lookalike in the class, just to mention a few.

Back home, June has an accommodating family and even shares an occasional beer or two with her dad (Joju George), while her mom  (Aswathy Menon) isn’t exactly ecstatic about her jocular ways. A bit too concerned about her daughter perhaps, she literally fawns over her, pulling her skirt a bit further down and her socks a bit further up to cover up the bare legs that June had futilely hoped to flaunt.

The fleeting sense of memory that takes you back to those school and college days, as you watch June reshuffle and sort out the puzzle cards of her life, is what comes as a bonus in this film. It is also a young girl’s struggle to finally be a woman, despite her own lovelorn self, and to live with the dreams and decisions that she has chosen for her life.

This is a long journey that spans almost a decade, and when June lands in Mumbai, hoping to rediscover and reconnect to the one man who makes her heart beat, she has her buoyancy intact. There are also heart burns in store, as she soon discovers and not one to be bogged down, she heads back home, where more events and experiences  lie in wait.

There is an adorable bit that involves June running into Anand (Arjun Ashokan), a former wooer and the owner of a toothy smile specifically designed for her, whom she had missed out while in school. Years later, Anand has joined the police force, and is as keyed up and positive as ever, when he spots a second chance with her.

We have had enough and more  of that drivel where anyone who is spurned in love has a sloppy, single dimensional sob story to tell, and spends the rest of their lives, miserably haranguing about how unjust love and life have been, and how the seemingly perfect one that they had fallen for had eventually emerged as an insensitive, self-centred slob.

Which is why I loved the climax of ‘June’, as rose-petalled a finale as it might seem to be, for it dwells on the innate human instinct and ability to let go, to forgive and forget, and start afresh, as difficult as it might seem at a point. It also applauds the choices that we get to make as individuals, and with Khabeer hitting almost all the right spots here, we are left with no villains – only heroes all around.

There is an extraordinary emotional candour in Rejisha’s performance that makes ‘June’ the kind of poignant experience that it is. Her astounding transformation from an unsure adolescent sporting uncomfortable dental braces to a poised youngster who is convinced as to what she wants, is simply spectacular.  The tremendous conviction with which the male leads – Arjun Ashokan and Sarjano Khalid – play their roles cannot be missed. And there is also a team of young actors, all of whom are outstandingly good in their respective roles, while veteran actors as Joju and Aswathy lend staunch support. Jithin Stanislaus’ cinematography is delightfully graceful, while Ifthi’s musical score is exceptionally easy on the ears.

NB: The mandatory warnings displayed at the bottom corner of the screen have been a deterrent in cinematic appreciation all the while, but now they have started questioning your common sense as well. For instance, in a scene where June’s mom rebukes and hits her for lying, bunking class and staying out late with friends – probably like any anxious parent would – up springs the cautionary note that ‘violence against women is punishable under law’. Some weird logic, indeed.

Verdict: Breezy Watch

June Movie Review: Nehha Pendse & Siddharth Menon’s Performance Is The Thing You Can’t Let Go About This ‘Letting Go’ Tale!

Nikhil mahajan's story says a lot taking just 90 minutes for your time.

Star Cast: Nehha Pendse Bayas, Siddharth Menon, Sanskruti Balgude, Kiran Karmarkar, Resham Shrivardhan, Nilesh Diwekar, Jitendra Joshi (cameo),

Director: Suhrud Godbole and Vaibhav Khisti

What’s Good: Nehha Pendse & Siddharth Menon’s simple portrayal of complex emotions

What’s Bad: Lacks a proper buildup to connect with the characters

Loo Break: It’s just 90 minutes; watch it at a stretch if you’re in

Watch or Not?: If you can watch a film for what it narrates rather than how it does that, then go ahead!

It starts with Pune’s Neha ( Nehha Pendse Bayas ) moving into his husband’s childhood house in Aurangabad without him. Bothered with her bold presence in the colony, some residents oppose her way of living. But there’s Neel (Siddharth Menon) who relates to her perplexities which are eccentric for others. Neel is a failed engineer burdened with a dark secret he’s been carrying for a long time.

Though being committed in their lives with other people, Neha & Neel bond over the dreary happenings in their lives. They share their dark secrets with each other in the hope of finding a solution. But, what happens next? Will they fall for each other, healing themselves, or realise that all of this isn’t forever? This is what June is all about.

June Movie Review: Script Analysis

Nikhil Mahajan’s story says a lot taking just 90 minutes for your time. Now, that might not be totally a good thing because certain things need time to build a connection. This gets emotional even before the film begins as the makers thank the legendary director Nishi sir (Nishikant Kamat), reminding us of how we won’t be able to aboard a ‘Dombivali Fast’ even after the lockdown ends. It’s dark. Yes, that’s the best adjective I could get to describe Mahajan’s story, dark. It’s so dark that one extreme scene involves the lead actor doing something strange to his pen*s.

But, is all this darkness worth it? That’s a different debate because to lead your viewers to that darkness, you need them to see the characters’ brightly lit life before it, but that doesn’t happen here. You’re thrown straight into the already gloomy lives of Neel & Neha. Revolving around the difficult-to-explain concept of ‘letting go’, the script tackles multiple sub-plots – one between the leads, and they both have their backstories that involve other people. It’s not cinematically possible to tackle all of them in just 90 minutes.

Nikhil Mahajan & Hrishikesh Petwe’s editing is for sure fast-paced, but as explained above, it takes from the emotional depth. Quais Waseeq’s camerawork, for most of the time, follows the basic route, but he goes out of his way to include some neatly placed low angle & drone shots.

June Movie Review: Star Performance

Nehha Pendse Bayas is pure magic in this, a dark one, though. From instilling the confidence in her character to be independent to tackling the ghosts from her past, she nails every possible aspect. She goes to 🥺 from 😑 instantly for a scene, and that showcases her affluent range.

Siddharth Menon plays Neel at the risk of looking like Kabir Singh/Arjun Reddy, but he brings a set of raw emotions. He plays Neel’s complexities with the proper conviction required for such a role. Gifted with most of the meat, Siddharth leaves no chance to make a mark for himself.

Post her stint in Breathe Into The Shadows & Ek Thi Begum, this is Resham Shrivardhan’s debut Marathi film, and she’s just about fine. It’s partially also because of the weak writing around her character Nicky. Sanskruti Balgude is just there for a couple of scenes and adds nothing noteworthy.

Kiran Karmarkar, as Neel’s dad, is another victim of average character-sketch as he could’ve added a whole lot of depth to the existing turmoil. Nilesh Diwekar as the colony’s stereotyped president is wasted. Jitendra Joshi’s cameo towards the end adds nothing out-of-the-box to the script, but it’s always a joy to watch him act.

June Movie Review: Direction, Music

Suhrud Godbole, Vaibhav Khisti’s direction is ordinary, to sum up in a word. Totally relying on Mahajan’s script, the direction doesn’t add anything to intrigue you apart from its dialogue-heavy nature, which is because of its writing. That’s where an ‘I’m Thinking Of Ending Things’ stands out, relying on both brilliant writing and outstanding direction. Mahajan’s story has uncertainty and vulnerability, but it misses to push the bar of absurdity. A top-of-my-head example is Neel’s friendship with his friend in the hostel is never developed correctly, but it gets a dark twist which is wasted because you just cannot connect with it.

Shalmali Kholgade’s music beautifully gels with the aura of June. But it’s missing a couple of good tracks which would’ve made a greater impact. ‘Baba’ remains to be the best track, but its timing takes away its bleak charm.

June Movie Review: The Last Word

All said and done; it’s a complex story of two complicated strangers-turned-more-than-friends finding out a simple way to live their lives. Backed with two absorbing performances, a beautiful message, it still feels incomplete because of the rushed script.

Two and a half stars!

June Review - A Heartwarming Coming Of Age Film

Published date : 11/mar/2019.

June Review -  A Heartwarming Coming Of Age Film

Suhansid Srikanth

Ahammed Khabeer's June is a nostalgic coming of age film about June, played by Rajisha Vijayan. The film encompasses around her school days, college days, career delusions and her constant search for not just a partner but a companion who will understand and be by her side.

After the Nazriya starrer 'Om Shanti Oshana', June really takes us a journey through the shoes of a girl. Rajisha brings the character heartwarmingly alive. The traits.. gestures.. everything comes off real. It is amusing to see how much you get into the mind and psyche of the character without it being loud or say, a physical acting like that of in Alia's from 'Dear Zindagi'.

There is a constant dig of fun and puns. I chuckled hard when she looks at Ambedkar's photo in her roommate's place and asked whether she is a Mammooty fan. The film brushes off even the heaviest of melodramatic moments with ease. The get together portions that happens towards the end is a mini '96' on its own.

Sarjano Khalid delivers a lovely debut as Noel. The innocent, introverted outsider side of the role is boyishly done to perfection by the actor. Arjun Ashokan plays an interesting character as well. And there are bunch of debutants who all shine in the little parts they play. Like Aanandam.. from cast to crew, location to soundtrack.. this film is an ensemble that's just perfect as it is.

Ifthi's songs work big time to tell the story. The melodies seamlessly linger around the many facets of June's life. Jithin Stanislaus's cinematography delightfully captures the mundaneness of everyday life without being repetitive. Lijo Paul's editing is brilliant. The sequencing of the final reveal about how June agreed to marry Alex (Sunny Wayne, in a lovely cameo) leaves you with a bit of sweet surprise.

Bottomline:

Ahammed Khabeer's June is all heart. From teen crushes to heartbreaks.. June is a rollercoaster of a ride that takes you a trip down your memory lane as you watch it.

Rating: 3.5/5

'Malayalee From India': Nivin Pauly's much-anticipated movie struggles to find its footing | Movie Review

Nivin Pauly's latest film, 'Malayalee From India', directed by Dijo Jose Antony, hit theatres today amidst high expectations. With the release of the 'Krishna' song, fans hoped for a return to Nivin's classic charm. However, the subsequent trailer painted a different picture, presenting the film in a serious tone. In reality, the movie is a combination of both, but unfortunately, it falls short of expectations.

The plot revolves around Gopi (played by Nivin), an unemployed individual from a quaint town in Kerala who lives carefree and indulges in political antics, often landing himself in trouble. His steadfast friend Malgosh (Dhyan Sreenivasan) stands by him through thick and thin, actively participating in his misadventures. The film chronicles Gopi's journey and the escapades he encounters along the way.

The film feels like a messy amalgamation of comedy, patriotism, and feel-good moments that fail to blend cohesively. While the initial parts show glimpses of Nivin Pauly's past performances, reminiscent of 'Oru Vadakkan Selfie,' the humour doesn't quite hit the mark. Although there are comedic moments between Nivin and Dhyan, they aren't sufficient to drive the narrative forward. One of the film's shortcomings is its attempt to juggle too many themes simultaneously, resulting in none receiving adequate attention—a flaw reminiscent of Dijo's previous work, 'Jana Gana Mana.'
