Neelakasham Pachakadal Chuvanna Bhoomi (Blue Skies, Green Ocean, Red Earth) is another Malayalam film with Dulquer Salman, and not entirely unlike his Bangalore Days. A slightly edited version of the Wikipedia plot summary:
The movie begins when Kasi (Dulquer Salman) tells Suni (Sunny Wayne) that he is going for a long motorbike road trip. Suni says that he will join the trip no matter where he goes. Suni in fact knows where Kasi was planning to go. The rest of the movie is about the road trip they make.
While on the journey somewhere outside Bangalore they get attacked by thugs. There were rescued by a few other riders who were also riding that way. The group invites Kasi and Suni to join them on their trip to Puri. While in Puri Kasi meets Ishita (Paloma Monappa), a wave surfer. She develops an attraction towards Kasi and shares her feeling. Kasi tells her his story. Kasi had a girl friend called Assi (Surja Bala Hijam), a girl from Nagaland. Nagaland is a place of political unrest and her parents were killed during the fights. Kasi takes her to his home to get married. His mom did not like the relation because Assi does not know Malayalam and she was not a Muslim. Initially his father agreed to their relation but due to pressure from his wife and the political party in which he was part of, he was forced to disapprove the relation. Assi returns to Nagaland without telling Kasi. Now Kasi is on his way to Nagaland to bring her back.
During their trip, they also end up in a remote village outside Kolkota because Suni's headlight stops working. They stay with the locals for a while where Suni falls in love with a girl called Gowri (Ena Saha). After leaving that village and riding for a while, Suni decides to stay back after they nears Nagaland. Suni carries on to seek for Assi and try to get her back.
If you liked Bangalore Days, you will probably like this one. It has the same low-key tone, with quiet, but very well-turned performances. The canvas is larger than that of Bangalore Days, crossing India from Kerala to Nagaland, with shots of huge Indian landscapes that really made me want to go and visit right now. And the theme of the horrible things people do to each other over politics and religion is less intimate than the themes of Bangalore Days. The feel is melancholy but, if you want a film with beautiful acting, beautiful photography of beautiful scenery, and with much more humanity than most Hindi films can offer, this is recommended.
