Jeethu Joseph (born 10 November 1972) is an Indian film director and screenwriter best known for his work in Malayalam cinema. He made his directional debut with the 2007 film ''Detective'' and later went on to direct four consecutive successes with ''Mummy & Me'' (2010), ''My Boss'' (2012), ''Memories'' (2013) and ''Drishyam'' (2013). ''Drishyam'', produced by Aashirvad Cinemas, is currently the highest-grossing Malayalam film of all-time. ==Career== Jeethu Joseph worked as Assistant Director with Jayaraj (''Bheebhatsam''). After ''Bheebhatsam'', chance came in the form of a Dileep-starrer for Jeethu. At the end of a year-and-a-half of work, it didn't "pan out" and he was back where he started. Jeethu had, in the meanwhile, developed the one-line plot of ''Detective'', which went on to be his debut directorial venture. After failing to find any producers, his mother Leelamma Josesh offered to co-produce the film. Jeethu found a co-producer in a US-based friend. He met Suresh Gopi and signed him on. A month into the project, a producer evinced interest and took on the production. ''Detective'' was released in 2007. The film fared well at the box-office.〔 His next film was Kunchako Boban starred ''Mummy & Me'', which was a success at the box-office. ''Mummy and Me'', although it took close to three years in the making, marked a turning point in his career as director. "My first film was easy compared to the struggle I had to go through for my second, ''Mummy and Me''." There were offers to make films like ''Detective'', but Jeethu declined. "I wanted to do a different film" It was for this reason that, though he had one line scripts of ''Mummy and Me'' and ''Memories'' ready in 2008, he chose to make ''Mummy and Me''.〔 His third film ''My Boss'' was also a success in theatres.This film was criticised for being a copy of the Hollywood film 'Proposal'. Jeethu's fourth movie ''Memories'', a suspense thriller, was released in 2013 which did perfectly well in box office.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Manorama Online - Home )〕 "In ''Memories'', Jeethu Joseph dwells on a canvas ridden with a series of murders. His ploy works because there is conviction about the way he crafts the thriller that touches religion, psychology and basic human instincts. It's an engaging plot and Joseph slightly goes astray as he indulges a bit too much treading along the romantic, peaceful past of Sam (Prithviraj). The diversion slackens an otherwise well-conceived narrative. Still he strays for a while simply because he owns a pretty decent narrative constructed with attention paid to certain technical details which raise the movie to the standard of a real thriller," ''The Times of India'' wrote in their review of ''Memories''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Memories movie review: Wallpaper, Story, Trailer at Times of India )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jeethu Joseph」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
