Hridayam ( transl. Heart) is a 2022 Indian Malayalam-language coming-of-age drama film written and directed by Vineeth Sreenivasan, starring Pranav Mohanlal, Darshana Rajendran and Kalyani Priyadarshan in lead roles.
Hridayam is an emotional journey of Arun, his carefree bachelor days in Engineering college, and how he matures through various phases of life.
Because its a musical, all the songs were really good and Hisham has done his best job here. Other than that, the movie had flaws all of them covered securely by the music and rest of the scores I think. Pranav’s resemblance to a face we lost forever brings back a kind of nostalgia which he recreates now and then, which was actually adorable. But the first half was filled with a ton of cringe scenes and it was way too hard to sit through them. Maybe it was like that for me and different for others. But the second half is far better than the first one. The movie is filled with a lot of clichés and it also leaves us with a lot of questions regarding the relationship between Arun and Darshana. The thing I took back with me was few songs from the playlist and his adorable face.
