Arike malayalam movie – Dileep in Shamaprasad’s flick

Arike(so close) is an upcoming malayalam movie from the hands of Shaymaprasad which stars Dileep, Samvrutha Sunil, Mamta Mohandas and Urmila Unni in the lead. This story of the movie has been adopted from a Bengali short story written by Sunil Gamgopadyay. The script of the movie Arike is done by Shyamaprasad himself. The film revolves around the story of Shantanu (Dileep), a researcher in Linguistics who gets the company of his two friends Kalpana (Samvritha Sunil) and Anuradha (Mamta Mohandas). Anuradha is a sensitive character who had gone through a number of bitter experiences in love. On the other hand the nature of Kaplana is unpredictable who is interested being in love. Anuradha makes some effort to bring Shantanu and Kaplana closer who care each other but hesitate to move forward.



Like the previous movies of Shamaprasad, Arike is also a movie which is based on theme 'quest for love'. The movie tries to divulge about the emotions of the two felt while they are in love. The director had tried to deal with a lighter theme told in a realistic way compared to the dark themes of his former movies. Situational humour will add more life to the movie.


It is for the second time in Malayalam film industry, the sync sound recording is being used. Sync sound means dialogues are being delivered by heart without anyone to prompt it for the actors. This type of recording will capture the real sound of the artists which will give a real feel to the movie. The real time voice modulations and mannerisms will give 100% perfection comparing it with dubbing it in a studio. For the pure recording of the sound, Syamaprasad had brought Soheil Sanwari who a much popular sound recorder in bollywood who had worked in movies like 'Yuvaraj' and 'Don 2'.

It's a good sign for Malayalam movie industry as more film makers are thinking of adopting new technologies to get the best merit out of it. Even though this novel style of recoding hassled for the artists in the beginning, later they have come to the real track in a little span of time.

The other casts of the movie includes Vineeh, Innocent, Urmila Unni, Madambu Kunjukkuttan, Ajmal, Dinesh Panicker, Chithra Iyer and Sreenath Bhasi. Akale will be a visual experience from the mature movie maker Shaymaprasad has casted Dileep in the lead role for the first time. Dileep already had acted in Shamaprasad's film Kallu Kondoru Pennu in 1998. Arike is produced by by Suresh Babu Thaneparambil, under the banner of Picture Perfect. The lyrics are by Shibu Chakravarthy while the tunes are set by Ouseppachan. 'Arike' will be released on 18th May 2012.
