Christy Movie Review & Analysis

Gist of the Story

A teenager who struggles in school, Roy, enrolls in Christy’s classes. The rest of the tale focuses on what transpires in both lives after the youngster confides his feelings for the teacher to her.

Detailed Plot

Here, the narrative takes place in 2007. Roy, our main character, is a Plus 2 student. Mathew Thomas plays Roy, a youngster who struggles academically and who needs Christy, his tutor, to support him pass his Plus Two examinations. Malavika Mohanan gives a poignant performance as Christy. She relocates to the Maldives for a teaching position despite being divorced, having a spendthrift father, and living in oppressive circumstances at home. Young Mathew, who refers to Christy as “chechi,” falls in love with her and tells her he desires to marry her. He interprets her lack of an explicit “no” as a “yes,” and the remainder of the narrative is about his attempts to bond with her.

Artistes’ Performances

As Roy and Christy, Mathew and Malavika Mohanan will undoubtedly win over the hearts of the audience. Mathew Thomas is perfectly suited for the part, and he did an outstanding job of acting as naturally as he could. His passionate performance in the conclusion is also applaud-worthy. Malavika Mohanan was actually a fantastic pick for Christy because of her natural makeup and the depth in her eyes. Malavika Mohanan received a lot of abuse for her performance in Master and Maaran. Although she keeps a friendly demeanor throughout, it is clear that she struggled to give her role any life. The film features audacious performances from artists Joy Mathews, Neena Kurup, Rajesh Madhavan, and others.

Direction / Technical Side

It is inevitable that this movie will be relatable, at least on a fundamental level, given how frequently immature infatuation over school instructors occurs and how likely it is that it will have occurred in most of our lives. The first part of the movie is surprisingly interesting because it at least makes an effort to provide some context for Christy’s life and how she deals with the effects of being divorced. He becomes less likeable and more stupid in the later part of Christy than he was in the first. He simply has no sense of when to stop and when to cross the line, and he keeps acting foolishly in ways that go beyond what his raging hormones can account for.

Two renowned Malayalam writers, Benyamin and GR Indugopan, wrote the script. Despite its problems, Alvin Henry’s work still has potential, as seen in the early, more structured portion of the movie. It is impossible to tell that this is a first-time director’s movie. The film’s director, Alwin Henry, handled everything with complete control. Anend C Chandran photographed Christy in a manner reminiscent of a storybook. The houses and costumes are primarily painted in soft, earthy tones. Govind Vasantha composed the evocative music for this romantic drama on his violin.

Verdict; Christy is attractive and the music is gorgeous, but that’s all it takes to captivate you. The movie’s second half drags a little bit after an engaging first half. Instead of a bloated feature film, it might have made a wonderful short film. The concept is intriguing, but it’s not enough to hook you up.
