But first I need to tell you how I found this film in the first place, I am a big fan of Martin Scorsese and Robert de Niro, who were a killer combo in the crime thriller film genre and still are. I have watched every movie by martin scorsese, If I have to pick my favorite I'd say, taxi driver and good fellas. I have watched Goodfellas many times and I became a fan of Robert de Niro after watching that film.

Since I am already a big fan of martin scorsese, I rushed to watch this film. It was an amazing film and that movie stuck with my thought process for over a week, that's why I am writing about this film even though I watched this film over 8 months ago. There are some movies that do this to me, they just stick with me, I don't know how to put it in words. As I said I am terrible at writing and I want to improve in any way I can.

Kummatty (1979) is a vintage Malayalam film directed by Aravindan Govindan. the word kummatty also means bogeyman in English. In the 90s, people would scare their children that kummatty would kidnap them when they misbehave, they describe kummatty as this mysterious guy who has no home and possess magical powers who can vanish into thin air. the story starts with these children playing around a rural remote village in Kerala among them is Chindan. kummatty is a mythological story but one day he gets materializes and visits the village. the children and Chindan were curious and scared at the same time, but as the story moves they get mingled with kummatty anyway. but he is very good to hang out with, he gives out free candies to the children and just plays with them. chindan and kummatty become friends, but then kummatty has to leave the village, but before going away he shows them one magic trick, he changes the children into various animals for a brief moment such as an elephant, rabbit, deer, etc. chindan gets his body transformed into a dog, but at that brief moment, a stray dog starts to chase him away, kummatty transforms all children to their original form but chindan misses his chance since he was chased away by a stray dog.

Chindan’s life as a dog and his return to a human state is a journey through which he realizes that life is a gift and freedom is precious. this message was conveyed to the audience at the climax where he sets free a parrot he loved and cared for. that's one of my favorite scenes in the movie.
