Driving Licence movie review: Prithviraj is terrific in a captivating drama on pride and pettiness, fandom and fury

Each time you think you have cracked Driving Licence, it takes a surprising turn.

Language : Malayalam

Rating : 3.5 (out of 5 stars)

A major star needs a driving licence. The motor vehicle inspector in charge of his application is his fan. A misunderstanding caused by a third party’s actions leads to a blazing showdown between them. Could this be the starting point of great cinema? Yes, if writer Sachy and director Lal Jr are involved. In their hands, what follows is a captivating, unexpectedly insightful examination of human nature, as a game of pride and pettiness, fandom and fury leads to a high-profile war over a tiny issue.

Prithviraj Sukumaran plays the actor Hareendran, and Suraj Venjaramoodu is the MVI, Kuruvilla J. Both are in top form in Driving Licence , a suspense-filled, fast-paced ride that belies and surpasses all expectations raised by the trailer and the film’s opening minutes. At first it appears that this will be just a David-vs-Goliath battle. Then it seems that it will be a story of how even the smallest cog in a wheel can cause massive disruptions. Then it looks like it will be about media sensationalism or Mollywood politics. Then it heads in the direction of how the bureacracy misuses its powers. Each time you think you have cracked Driving Licence , it takes a surprising turn. This screenplay is one of the cleverest pieces of writing to emerge from Malayalam cinema in what is already a great year for Mollywood.

Lal Jr, whose calling cards as a director so far have been Honey Bee and Honey Bee 2: Celebrations , whips up the excitement levels in his latest venture with the aid of editor Ratheesh Raj’s smooth transitions and swift cuts. What elevates Driving Licence above the average thriller and makes it almost unslottable genre-wise though is its thoughtfulness. Intelligent writing, deft editing and nuanced acting join forces to ensure that neither Hareendran nor Kuruvilla is villainised or heroised at any point. What we get instead is a plausible series of circumstances aptly illustrating how momentary bursts of temper (from both gentlemen), arrogance (Hareendran’s) and small-mindedness (Kuruvilla’s) could cause otherwise manageable incidents to spiral out of control. The film is not perfect - we are never quite given to understand why Hareendran trusts his childhood friend, the politician Johnny Peringodan played by Saiju Kurup, when it is so clear that the man is untrustworthy, and Kuruvilla’s wife (Mia George) comes across as a caricature - but it is gripping all the same.

Though Driving Licence - perhaps intentionally - gives off a vibe of being casual fun, it is quite the opposite. Don’t get me wrong. It is lots of fun. However, it is anything but casual. In fact, it is brave in the way it highlights the control big stars in Kerala have over their fans associations (this is true of fans groups across southern India’s film industries) at a time when the aggression, criminality and toxic masculinity of such associations has come under scrunity after the actor assault case of 2017 , the formation of the Women In Cinema Collective and the attack on Parvathy for her outspokenness.

That said, the handling of Mollywood politics is less layered than the rest of the film. The misogynistic AMMA (the Association of Malayalam Movie Artistes) which has behaved shamefully in the aftermath of the 2017 attack, has been given kid-glove treatment here, and painted simply as a bunch of supportive men who back a fellow artiste when he is treated unfairly. This, and the speech given by Hareendran in the end when he holds back from lambasting his fans shortly after they displayed horrifying mob behaviour, are the places where Driving Licence chooses to play it safe. Hareendran the superstar is very likely to be cautious in comments about his fans, but this is Team Driving Licence itself avoiding antagonising the public.

These, no doubt, are conscious decisions. What appears unconscious and is therefore far more disturbing is the way Kuruvilla’s physical roughness towards his wife and the manner in which he trivialises her are portrayed with a such-is-life tone rather than a critical eye.

Hopefully, Lal Jr and Sachy will rise above their social conditioning next time and will also show even more courage than they have shown here.

The two leading men in Driving Licence are surrounded by a well-chosen supporting cast, including Deepti Sati who lends quiet dignity to the role of Hareendran’s wife despite her limited presence in the proceedings, Suresh Krishna who is hilarious as a mediocre actor and Hareendran’s jealous rival, and Adhish Praveen as Kuruvilla’s son. There is a scene in which the boy realises that his Dad is lying to avoid telling his wife about a humiliating experience - the camera rests very briefly on him, but those moments are enough for this remarkable youngster to convey a child’s internal conflict.

Venjaramoodu has already rocked the big screen with his performance as a lonely, ill-tempered old man in Android Kunjappan Version 5.25 earlier this year. In some ways Kuruvilla is a more challenging role because it gives him no crutches to lean on, like the heavy makeup of Android or the massive age difference between him and his character. In this film as in that one, he has to earn sympathy for his character despite his misbehaviour with another character who is hard to dislike. Venjaramoodu of course pulls it off.

2019 has been a mixed bag for Prithviraj. While Brother’s Day  was disgraceful and his directorial debut Lucifer was disappointing, both Nine and Driving Licence are reminders of what a fine actor he is. That he is also heartachingly handsome does not hurt, of course. In his turn as the brusque superstar who adores his wife, Prithviraj owns every frame in which he appears. He is one among the multiple reasons why Driving Licence , despite its share of potholes, remains a thoroughly entertaining experience.

Driving License movie review: An interesting ride from Prithvi-Suraj

Driving License starring Prithviraj and Suraj Venjaramoodu in the lead roles is sure to excite both the family audience and the hardcore fans of both the actors. The movie amazingly portrays the interesting events that happen in the lives of a matinee idol and one of his fans, who is also a motor vehicle inspector.

The film directed by Jean Paul Lal has a solid screenplay from Sachi. Jointly produced by Prithviraj and Listin Stephen, Driving License is an engaging movie that also lays bare the world of cinema. Prithviraj plays the role of the super star while Suraj Venjaramoodu shines as the motor vehicle inspector. Miya George and Deepti Sathi play the female leads. Nandu, Saiju Kurup, Suresh Krishna, Major Ravi, Sivaji Guruvayur, Lalu Alex and Arun too essay pivotal roles. The cameo appearance of Salim Kumar adds an interesting twist to the plot.

Super star Hareendran, played by Prithviraj, is crazy about driving as much as he loves acting. Meanwhile, motor vehicle inspector Kuruvila is a diehard fan of Hareendran. The actor realizes that he has lost his driving license only when he looks for it to secure permission to film the climax of one of his movies. Hareendran approaches Kuruvila in the hope that the latter could help him get a new license effortlessly. However, what follow is an unexpected chain of events that pit the two men against each other. Hareendran, who was Kuruvila’s most admired actor, soon becomes his biggest enemy. The movie seamlessly portrays the tension, struggle and the cold war between the two lead characters. The rivalries between super stars in the movie industry, the fan fights and how the media tries to blow everything out of proportion and its political implications are all interesting factors that add pace and structure to the plot.

Prithiviraj looks perfect as the stylish Hareendran and easily slips into the character of a super star. However, the character goes through some difficult times in his family life. Prithviraj does an amazing job as he perfectly portrays Hareendrans’s helplessness and exasperation as he has to ignore his personal life for the sake of his career.

Hareendran’s love for vehicles, his occasional outbursts and certain mannerisms often remind of Prithviraj himself. Suraj shines as the motor vehicle inspector. The actor has delivered a power packed performance that the audience wonders who is actually the protagonist and the villain. Suresh Krishna and Saiju Kurup effortlessly create some good laughs in the theaters. Miya’s character too is interesting that has comic shades.

Technicality

The plot, which gains incredible momentum from a small thread, is actually the hero of the movie. The screenwriter and the director have been able to present it amazingly without making the audience bored. The first half is thrilling and instantly grabs the audience’s attention. Though the second half has some cinematic scenes, the writer and the director are able to justify it. Some of the slow moving shots are sure to capture the attention and appreciation of the audiences. The camera is cranked by Alex J Pulikkal. The ‘fan song’ from the movie has already found a place in the hit chart. The lyrics are by Santhosh Varma and the music is composed by Yakson Gary Pereire and Neha Nair.

There are lots of interesting and equally funny scenes that would remind anyone of their ‘ordeal’ to get their driving license. Those who carelessly handle their driving license may check whether they still have them, after watching this movie. Driving License becomes a success as it makes many remember their own driving licenses that may be in bad shapes, squished inside their wallets.

Driving Licence movie review: An engaging watch

Driving licence movie review: starring prithviraj and suraj venjaramoodu in the lead roles, director lal jr and his writer sachy have conceived a solid premise that makes this meta-film an engrossing watch..

Driving Licence movie cast : Prithviraj, Suraj Venjaramoodu Driving Licence movie director : Lal Jr. Driving Licence movie rating : 3 stars

There is a reason why they say that you should never meet your heroes. But all Kuruvila (Suraj Venjaramoodu) ever wanted was to meet his hero Hareendran (Prithviraj) in person, shake hands and take a picture with him.

Hareendran is among the top stars in the Malayalam film industry. And it gives him the privilege to not worry about producing his driving licence in case he gets pulled over by a cop for checking. However, Hareendran should submit his driver’s licence to get permission to shoot in a sensitive location. So, he gets his assistants to start looking for his licence. I mean, why worry when you can get yourself out of a traffic violation by clicking a selfie with the person in uniform, no? He is in for luck. Kuruvila, one of the biggest fans of Hareendran, is an inspector in the RTO office. He is a cop who follows the rules by the book. But, he can make some exceptions for Hareendran. After all, Hareendran is the man who dominates his dreams at night.

Hareendran wants a driver’s license soon, and Kuruvila can make it happen. It must be a piece of cake. But director Lal Jr and his writer Sachy have conceived a solid premise that makes this meta-film an engrossing watch. There is no such thing as a free lunch. Kuruvila wants Hareendran to visit his office in person as a quid-pro-quo for granting him the licence without any hassle. And Hareendran obliges with some reservations. And things go south soon after he arrives at the RTO office. The media is gathered there, and a leak from Kuruvila’s office puts Hareendran in the spot. A movie star driving without a licence is a very juicy bit of news for 24/7 news channels to ignore. Television reporters bombard Hareendran with questions, embarrassing him on a live television turning him into a ticking time bomb before he could meet Kuruvila.

And Hareendran explodes when he meets Kuruvila. He holds Kuruvila responsible for causing him so much stress and berates him in front of his kid. Kuruvila will compromise on his ethics for Hareendran, but self-respect is non-negotiable. He vows to make Hareendran repent for insulting him. So begins a war between a superstar and a fan.

Hareendran could have avoided a whole lot of trouble had he controlled his stary tantrums and chose not to engage in an ego clash with his fan. And, Kuruvila could have protected himself and his family from a lot of trouble by letting his love for Hareendran overtake his bruised ego. But both of them can’t. Their primal instincts burdened by pride and vanity, force them to go to great lengths to bring harm to each other.

Vanity is the favourite sin of the devil, indeed.

Driving Licence Review (No SPOILERS): Shahrukh’s Fan, But in Kerala and With Prithviraj

As expected, I did way too much and by the end of the day was having a very hard time staying awake since I am ever so slightly sick. I just barely managed to make it through to the end of this film without falling asleep, but it was worth it (I think).

This is a movie in which Prithviraj plays himself. But it’s not a movie for Prithviraj fans. It’s a movie for people who are fascinated by the functions of stardom and fandom, and the Indian film industries. So, ME!

The characters are good, the plot is decent, but really it all revolves around central questions of stardom, fandom, society, the industry as a community, stuff like that. I would say it is very niche, except that film fandom is SUCH a big thing in India, that discussing star power and so on isn’t niche at all, but rather an obsession of the whole society.

Prithviraj plays himself, but also plays a role. In the way that “himself” is a role in reality. There is “Prithviraj the angry star”, “Prithviraj the considering man of power”, “Prithviraj the charming public movie star”, and “Prithviraj the real human person”. Those first 3 are familiar roles for Prithviraj in reality, every movie star has to be angry, practical and powerful, and charming in places that are public. The 4th is the Prithviraj we, the public, never see. And I certainly don’t think he is going to reveal his “real” self just for this little movie. So that 4th Prithviraj is the one where he is fully “acting”. He does a good job with his few scenes as a “real” person, nicely differentiating them from the public version of himself he shows everyone else.

The other actors have an easier job since they are just playing roles like normal. Suraj Vasudevan plays an every man police officer, Miya George plays the typical nagging wife. Saiju Karap plays the typical humorous ambitious young politician. They do a good job with what they are given. Suraj does slightly better than good job with his role, which is what I expect, he is one of those character actors where I sit up and take notice as soon as I see his face. Miya George suffers the most, the scriptwriter really did not break a sweat with her character beyond “nagging wife”.

Miya George still got to have more fun than Deepti Sati who plays “saintly wife”. BORING!!!! And that’s the extent of the female characters in this film, the nag and the wife. Not great. But also, really interesting in a movie about fandom. This is a world were fandom and film acting is about male relationships. Male media, male producers, male movie stars, male fan clubs.

And then there’s the obvious comment I need to make, especially knowing the likely background of my readers. This is Fan, Shahrukh’s Fan, but slightly different. It’s not a rip off or anything like that, just that it deals with the same question of the fan-star relationship and how hard it can be for each of them to see each other as people rather than as what they need from each other. And Prithviraj deals with the same acting challenge, playing himself-but-not-himself in most scenes, and something totally different in the private scenes. But without the added complication of actually playing his own fan.

There’s also some differences, which are fascinating, but I will get into those more in the SPOILERS review!

It’s a movie about men being fans of other men, but it’s not homoerotic? Also, should I watch this if I am only interested in Prithviraj, his wig situation, and his shirts?

The film is good. Its done in a realistic way unlike the second half of fan.

Nope, it’s not a Popka movie. Have you watched many Malayalam films? They tend to be very low key and realistic, with occasional touches of magical realism. Obviously you contain multitudes and can enjoy many different varieties of movies, but they are definitely NOT Govinda-esque. This is a pretty decent film, but not an all time “anyone in the world would enjoy this” kind of film, so I’m not gonna recommend it to you.

I do have an incredibly Lesbian Tamil film for you though! Snegithiye, two best friends from college who run off together because they don’t want to get married to yucky BOYS.

Thank you for the lesbian Tamil movie, that looks great!

Amen and Double Barrel would be my picks for the most over the top magical realism Malayalam films. Both from the same director, nothing really super gay in either film, but really crazy images. Here’s a song from Amen:

Do they all have that sense of whimsy? I really dislike that. Reminds me of (modern) French films which i also cannot stand.

I also hate whimsy! Okay, forget Double Barrel and Amen. They aren’t my favorites for that exact reason. Ill try to think if there is something else for you, i am sure there is, i just have to remember it.

Is there a fun subgenre? Like wacky horror movies or something horrendous from the 70s?

The only thing I can think of is Pulimurugan, which is legitimately terrible and about a tiger hunter. You are probably the only person who would like it!

And there’s also these, neither of which I have seen so I can’t speak to the quality:

Considering that the director is Lal Jr of the Honeybee fame, I’ll keep my expectations low….very low.

The script is really interesting though!

I am a fan of the scriptwriter of this film (sachy).. He is the best now in writing entertaining masala films but very underrated… he completed the script of this films in 2012 long before ‘fan’ and wanted Mammootty to play the star role and prithvi to the fan role, but Mammootty didn’t say yes and hence the films was postponed untill prithvi decided to do the star role.

Oh yeah, I don’t think it was in imitation of Fan, any more than a film about someone dying is an imitation of Anand. Fan-star relationship is a universal theme.

And yes, the script was the best part! The directing was workmanlike but nothing special, but the script is what made it work.

His Honeybee movies are really bad, But I really loved his other movie Hi I am Tony as well. Have you watched that?

Driving Licence Movie Review: Effective Performances By Suraj Venjaramoodu And Prithviraj Elevate That Rare Well-Written Comedy

Director: Jean Paul Lal

Cast: Prithviraj, Suraj Venjaramoodu, Mia George

Y ou get a sense of the film you're going to watch when the opening 'special thanks', one of Malayalam cinema's most irritating habits, is dedicated to Leonardo DiCaprio , of all people. Lal Jr., who began his career with the LOL stoner comedy Honey Bee (followed by two middling films) seems to be a big fan of spoofs, and the premise of Driving Licence , which revolves around a Malayali superstar and the industry in general, gives him great fodder to work with.

So we get what he's trying when he names Major Ravi's character Samuel Jackson. In one of the scenes that introduces superstar Hareendran ( Prithviraj at his best), we see him arguing with the producer for insisting he change a dialogue to include a plug for a fancy hospital. Hareendran's arch rival Bhadran (Suresh Krishna) is a hilarious mash-up of a lot of our stars, without the references getting too direct. The cameos too, such as Edavela Babu playing himself, fit cleverly into the film's self-deprecating brand of comedy, and there's novelty even in the way the 'film-within-a-film' portions have been written, especially in that scene where Bhadran's phone calls get recorded as he dubs for a film.  

If you've seen the trailer, you probably already know what the film is about, but the logic behind a seemingly petty problem is so well explained that you quickly stop thinking of what they could have done to avoid this situation. Because what the film is really about is just a missing document. Hareendran needs his driving licence to get the required permission to shoot a film that's already gone beyond budget and schedule. Time is, of course, money and he's required to reapply for it at the local RTO before he has to leave on an important personal trip. Yet, the film's just as careful at giving us Kuruvilla's ( Suraj Venjaramoodu ) side of the story as well, because he's the motor vehicle inspector given the responsibility of getting Hareendran the licence at the earliest. But what really raises the stakes is that Kuruvilla is also Hareendran's number one fan. 

The film is not about a government official using his power to get closer to his idol. We get a great scene early on when Hareendran visits the RTO to get his license, and the situation goes out of control, turning this insignificant event into a media frenzy. Hareendran's anger, followed by that of Kuruvilla's (who is accompanied by his son), is perfectly justified, making the film's central conflict more than just two egos going at it. And it's the mark of the film's good writing when it becomes really difficult to pick a side, because they're both equally right and equally wrong. 

Even though the film deals with this extraordinary situation and almost-unreal characters, it never forgets to anchor them in the most basic, realistic emotions. Because, what the film eventually becomes is the story of two men afraid of failing in their duties. On the one side, we get Kuruvilla failing at being a hero to his son; on the other, we have Hareendran who admits he's failed to be a good husband, having chosen work over his wife for years together. 

If anything, the media circus the film eventually turns into becomes a bit over-the-top, and even Kuruvilla's characterisation (is he an honest office or not?) gets a tad confusing. But these are easy to look past when the performances work so well. Even though the film was originally written for Mammootty, Prithviraj owns the role to the point where it becomes impossible to picture anyone else playing Hareendran, because it's not really an easy performance. He gets his share of silences, and you really buy his love for his wife in scenes where it's just the two of them. Suraj proves yet again that he's one of our best actors. If you were to divide screentime, you'd probably feel Hareendran got the lion's share, but it is proof of Suraj's ability that we never feel this. Seeing his performance in the climax, I realise Suraj has made me cry more times this year than my life has! But it's Miya George, invoking her inner Urvashi to deliver a real surprise, who proves that she can be great comic actor too. 

On the whole, Driving Licence is that rare comedy that really trusts its writing to do the heavy lifting, instead of merely relying on its comedy scenes to keep us engaged. Driving Licence may not be as ambitious a film as SRK's Fan, but whatever it sets out to do, it achieves with ease.
