I watch it only for Vinutha Lal

[T-ZER0 · 3/10 · 6 September 2019]

The movie is very cringeworthy and not a good example of Malayalam cinema. But I like this movie only for Vinutha Lal.

Not as bad as people are saying

No Spoiler review: I saw this movie and I am reviewing it just to say that people are taking it too far. This isn't a must watch, it definitely is a flop but it isn't a complete disaster. It does have its good points at places. Some parts are funny. It doesn't make complete sense, but movies don't have to make sense all the time. Performances by actors are good and come to the rescue in parts that are badly directed. Jayaram, Baburaj and Kalabhavan Shajon are good. Even Sheela manages to shine. Vinutha Lal is more or less an extended cameo, but she too does well. Isha Talwar's cuteness becomes the saving grace of the movie in the scenes she is there, but she has very few scenes and less screen time (signature negative point of every Isha Talwar movie barring Ranam: She receives few dialogues and few scenes.) Overall, give it a try once with a clear mind and don't try to criticize every point, and don't pay too much attention to negative points and you might have a chance at enjoying the film.

Spoiler review: This review may contain spoilers. Positives: Comedy is good to some extent. The emotional scenes also make an impact. Performances are also good and songs are nice. Negatives: Some scenes are simply chaotic. Comedy is very loud in the first half. Love track between Jayaram and Isha Talwar (Apoorvan and Rosemary) is not convincing enough due to very less screen time devoted, and even when there is, there is a case of a bad script. Isha and Jayaram try to save it with their expressions, and they even succeed to some point but it still falls flat. Flashback could have been devoted more time. Isha Talwar could have been given more screen time and dialogues, same applies for Vinaya Prasad (Jancy). The black-and-white part of the flashback breaks the flow. Some parts come off as very cringeworthy and performance of Shaju K.S. (Roy) seems very monotonous as he keeps repeating the same lines in every scene that he appears. Direction and script are not good.

Verdict: Watch it without trying to criticize it or looking for weak points (and please don't concentrate on Isha Talwar's lips to criticize the dubbing, you will miss out on more fun things) and you might just like it.
