Namukkore Aakasam Review

Nammukore Akaasam is a travel narrative which takes us through the minds of the characters thereby enabling us to identify with the feelings of a small 12 year old boy, a young man in his adolescence as well as an old man in his fifties, all at the same time. While John the experienced adult finds words to speak his mind out to the outside world, Kannan the child, falls short of words. One has to rely on his actions and silence to read his mind. The closely knit script of the movie in a sense symbolizes the subtleties of human relationships which are rooted in love, longing and a zest for life.

‘Child is the father of Man’ says William Wordsworth. Every childhood experience contributes and shapes our adulthood. Children who are the budding flowers of tomorrow represent an innocent world which is unadulterated and pure. Yet, at times their pranks could turn fatal, leaving a mark of repentance within them for the rest of their lives. The movies tries to explore this connection and interdependence between these two seemingly exclusive stages of life .The story moves back and forth in time, connecting the various incidental occurrences in the lives of the characters.

The love shared by John and Gowri is beautifully woven into the story and the audience is able to take a peep at the latent romance deep within the tough looking army man’s heart. It is in fact Lalji, the psychotherapist who tries to figure out the reason for the turmoil in Kannan’s mind, thereby leading us further to John’s life. An important incident in the movie connects Kannan’s feeling of guilt and John’s sense of loss. However John’s response to Kannan’s confession takes an ironic turn the moment he blames himself for the life of solitude that had befallen him.

Nammukore Akasam seeks to represent a world which relies heavily on mutual feelings of love, understanding, trust and goodwill among human beings. Kannan, John, Kunjumol, Gowri, Balu and Mini are all are one among us. What they express are our joys, sorrows, fears, tensions, apprehensions, doubts and desires. The film reflects upon our lives and dreams. It is our story. We share different lands, yet we share the same sky-the sky of mutual love, bonding and togetherness. It is this realization of mutuality that one needs to dream about, strive for and live for, and perhaps as the title suggests, this is what the movie stands for!
