liked and respected by CS Nambiar (Prathap Pothen), a business tycoon well known

Advocate Francis (Mukesh) who was the main factor to help in almost all his
tough situations which is followed by a meeting with Nambiar and Vijay.
PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS
Prithviraj as Vijay Das
is impressive with his stunning looks and controlled acting. Andrea Jeremiah in
her role of Pavithra too has given out a decent performance. Nanditha Raj looks
cute with her role as Merin, but leaves a big challenge of improving her
expressions while rendering dialogues. Other actors including Prathap Pothen
(CS Nambiar), Lena (Gracy), Sunil Sukhada (Thambikutty), Mukesh (Francis) have
done justice to their roles.
TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
Cinematography by Jithu
Damodar is impressive. He has captured the stunning locations of the city of
London with much brilliance. Camera angles too are exceptional. Another saving
grace of the movie is the music. BGM by Gopi Sunder is pleasing throughout.
'Ennum ninne...' and 'Kannadivathil...' are impressive, while the other two
doesn't make an impact. Jinu Abraham, who has penned the script and dialogues,
could have worked on it much more as the movie stays as just one in the line of
several romantic dramas we have come across. He hasn't tried much to create a
difference which could have made a better impact on the audience. On the
direction side, Anil C Menon has improved a bit from his previous flicks, still
fails at times to impress. For the kind of its genre, length of the movie is a
main factor and the movie could have been trimmed well for better acceptance.
BOX OFFICE VERDICT
BOX OFFICE VERDICT
London Bridge Released after 1983, there is a chance of big competition with both movies. 1983 surely collects more priority in box office, because the story of 1983 is all about cricket and some sort of nostalgic romance. In the other side London Bridge is a story of UK malayalies, most of the common viewers first choice may divert in the case of such a high-fi movie. But it shows a big change of Prithviraj from recent films, in London Bridge we have chance to watch Prithvi as a romantic hero. As the past times proved that he is most eligible for such roles. And the glorious Andriya Jerimiya's second malayalam movie. And also in about 2013 all the Prithvi movies are Box Office hits, lets hope for a big hit...
TAG-LINE
TAG-LINE
On the whole, London Bridge is a slow paced
decent watchable romantic drama which has much flaws and faults. Not being
everyone's cup of tea, it's to be seen how well this movie performs at the Box
Office.
