Movie Review -:
Underneath the surface of Meesha (Me esha) is a serious drama about lost frien dships and betrayal. This friendship can be described as that between Anand (H akeem Shah) and Mithun (Kadir), but th ere are bigger factors keeping them apa rt. From the outside, it seems like caste is what separates them. Although they b oth seem to belong to the same financial cial class, Anand is the privileged one. H e seems to live in an agraharam, and wh en we struggle to find a job, we hear him complain about the reservation and the surname that keeps him poor. On the ot her end is Mithun, Anand’s childhood fri end. But as they grow up together, they face social barriers that keep them apar t. Mithun belongs to the fishing commun nity and lives in a colony that becomes a hot topic for Meesha. It is said that a cor porate textile factory is coming up in thi s colony, which promises jobs, houses an d money to every resident. This will lead to growth in the future, but for now, this group of 2000 people has to be relocate d.
This is where the battlegrounds are red dawn, and Anand and Mithun begin to u nderstand that they can no longer see e ach other as two. Mithun becomes the i nsider and the leader who has to fight to o ensure the promised growth. Anand al so wants this for his friend and his peop le, but he is always viewed with suspicio n by the residents who do not want thes e outsiders anywhere near them. But id entity politics is at play. There are bigger people than Anand and Mithun, who see them as units of their respective vote ba nks. From individuals, they become mer e puppets in the hands of powerful politi cians.
This is where the film rises beyond the c onventions of a film about the male ego. Anand and Mithun are powerless as the y get caught in the traps set by people m uch higher up the food chain for surviva l. From the riverside opening, the film sh ifts to a forested area. In the dense fores ts, we see several characters and subplo ts coming together to see if Anand and Mithun will ever reunite or if their bond will be severed.
Similar to the intense drama of Kamma ti Paadal (2016), Meesha shifts gears to become a story of survival in the jungle. There is talk of foreign venison and bott les of liquor to heal old wounds. There is also Mithun’s motivation to meet Anand again, despite the betrayal. For Anand, h e is unsure of what to make of Mithun’s call. Is this a revenge plot, or are there bi gger games afoot?
Meesha’s structure is layered and dense, and we sit throughout the film expectin g it to culminate in something much bigg er. This is where the film introduces ano ther set of characters, led by Shine Tom Chacko, a hunter who wants to make a quick buck. The two different sets of ch aracters meet much later in the film, yet we still have a long wait to find out how they are connected. At a distance, it’s t he venison that brings the two groups to gether, but a bare-bones plot takes on th e full scale and detail usually reserved fo r a lead character.
Meesha’s premise sta rts to get troublin g as we cut between c haracters, and we wait to see if the film will take us somew here more meaningful. It doesn’t, but we stick with it becau se the characters are still interesting. A complex structure de serves a more com plex resolution, and instead of the film s howing its true pote ntial, it veers into a disjointed mess, nev er quite able to do j ustice to these chara cters. At this point, we see the fate of Mi thun and Anand fr om miles away, and w e don’t fully under rstand where Shine T om Shacko’s chara acteristics fits in. The fight scenes that follow are also awkwa rd and confusing (one waterfall scene is laughable), and t he film starts to gloss over it all, changin ing nuances as it sees fit. In all of this, th e film gets lost, and so do we. More than the plot, Anand and M ithun deserve a b etter film and a worth y ending to their freindship.
