Plot & Review
Narrating the touching story on the bonding between a father Jermias and son Mathews, this beautiful film shows how they try to stop a land mafia from taking over their farmland and converting it into another resort.
Mathews the farmer living reverentially with his father Jermias and mother Elsamma tries to realize his father's dream of setting up a huge farmhouse with cattle, vegetables and the like on the banks of the river Periyar.
As, a rich industrialist Aluva Chandi lands in the scene, the things go from bad to worse. By the idea of town ship, Aluva Chandi prompts the majority of the villagers to sell off their lands to him. Anyhow, Mathews is not interested to sell his land which he has loved so dearly as his family.
The rest of the movie is about the plights of Mathews to save his land while Chandi tries his best to influence the bureaucracy with his money and muscle power.
============================================
In Ividam Swargamanu, Roshan Andrews maintains a fine symmetry between empathy and satire. Rousing some genuine feelings in the minds of the viewers, this is a brilliant way to end the eventful year.
Ividam Swargamanu offers a probing slice of life that is resonant with moments that are startling, funny and honest. It has a clear-cut quality to it that makes the cautionary tale that it tells transform into a poignant piece of film making.
Mathews has built a heaven for himself at the rustic lands of Kodanadu, where he along with his dad Germias has almost brought about a revolution in "bio farming". When the real estate ring starts eying his land, Mathews makes plain his dissent, little realizing that trying times lie ahead for him.
It's an idyllic paradise that Albert has crafted for the film, so much so that it looks almost out of this world. The hordes of cattle that graze along are accompanied by a gaggle of quacking geese; the windmill sails swivel across a landscape that has the freshest of sprouts springing up from a fertile ground, where man and nature becomes one and harmony reigns.
You would fall in love with the film, not because it tells an earth shattering story, but because of the faith that it has in itself. And it's on account of this faith that we remain with Mathews through his ordeals to the very end, while he determinedly tries to rebuild his life.
This movie got lot of appreciation from critics & viewers for the superb script, fine direction and superb performance from Mohanlal, Lalu Alex & lekshmi Rai.
It become a huge box office success as a good family entertainer
