Review of the film 'ചിത്രശലഭങ്ങളുടെ വീട്'

 ചിത്രശലഭങ്ങളുടെ വീട്







 Chithra Salabhangalude Veedu is a 2008 Indian movie directed by Krishnakumar starring master Ganapathy(Kunjimuthu), Jagathy Sreekumar, Lekshmy Sharma(Suja) and Manuraj. The feature film  is produced by Ravi Chalissery and the Music Composed by Dr Muhammed Shakeel. 

The movie is centered on a group of problem makers led by Kunjimuthu studying in the tenth standard of a management school. Though very intelligent, Muthu, the rebellious son of an ex-naxallite Thavala Kochootty is often forced to help his father in transporting illicit liquor that he brews in the lonely hilltops.

The childhood pranks of the group often cross all limits and this forces much of their teachers to find a reason to show them the way out of the school. The school authorities get an opportunity to dismiss Muthu, when he is caught by the police while transporting liquor and is awaiting trail. In order to save his father, Muthu takes the blames on himself and is put on remand.

Meanwhile the new teacher Suja who joins the school understands the problems Muthu is facing. She, even without the support of his fellow staff, manages to make orders from the top departments to take the student back to school. She transforms the boy to the core and guides him along the path of self discipline, to make him the best in the class. But little can this influence the fate that was waiting for the student, outside the school.

The film does throw some light on what really matters in education. It reveals the slips, shortfalls and structural insufficiency of one troubled highschool. But the social commentary bit often appears forced and quite unconvincing.  The characters have all been invented for strictly instructive purposes:  they come into view weilding their moral conflicts, and the moment you come across them, you can foresee every tried and tried twist and turn of the plot.
