Saajan Bakery Since 1962

Although this movie did have some touching moments, it is suffice to say that it was a feel good movie without any feel good moments. How ironic that while "Mohan kumar" was trolled and widely criticised for its abundance of feel good moments, this movie was at the receiving end of trolls and taunts mostly owing to the fact that it lacked dramatic positivity spreading scenes or inspiring dialogues. In other words, it was kept as close to life as possible and hence consequently ended up being boring and lacking objectivity to the first to respond self employed film critics. So now, it's pretty certain that expect for a movie like "Home" that might pop up every five years or so, this would be the end of the feel good genre, a trademark of 80's and 90's as it seems impossible for any writer and director to include the right amount of dramatic scenes and dialogues in a feel good movie. Ganesh Kumar amazed with his performance, generating honest laughter on multiple ocasions. He easily became that guy that we see in nearly all extended families.

The director keep shuffling between scenes and completely failed to build up the story. Stuffed songs at inappropriate times really was a spoiler. I felt like a time waste and result was very apparent when we previewed with few families together, half of them slept, kids went out and played and rest were busy in their mobile phones. I was tracking the length of the movie to see when it will end. This sums it up :( Not recommended...

#MovieReview #Malayalam #SajanBakery #SpoilerFree

Sajan Bakery has a superb premise and a quirky set of characters but ends up half-baked (pun intended) due to poor direction.

While Aju Varghese and Lena have clearly put their heart and soul into their performances as the feuding siblings running their father's old bakery, they are let down by Arun Chandu's inexperience as a director.

The storyline is disjointed and the viewer is left perplexed at several junctures with inexplicable lags and nonsensical sub-plots.

Most of the jokes fall flat and the lead protagonist's romance fizzles out due to poor writing and the director's inability to create any real chemistry.

A big disappointment. Not recommended.

Saw this aired on Asianet Movies n thought maybe i'll sit n watch this film hoping it's a small feel good film...but unfortunately just like so many reviews here, I have the same opinion about this film that it is an utter waste of time...Movie is going on n on aimlessly with no proper story...The actors have done pretty ok n try very hard to be funny but u don't feel much connection with any of the characters nor u feel like laughing...i'm actually surprised how they shot the film without much story or any story for that matter, i'm even more shocked how the producers even greenlit this film...Were they creating scenes then n there while shooting?? So absurd...

The movie is more like an off-beat comedy. They marketed it as fun packed one. But its definitely more than that. Performances were terrific. Lena's lifetime character, betsi was effortless and pure chaos. Aju, Ganesh and Renjita, jaffer were remarkable. What a comeback for Ganesh kumar!! Movie had the underpinnings of feminism and lot of progressive thoughts. I love how they balanced the feel good factor without going over the top. Second half was more matured i felt. Thankyou for keeping besty single and not getting tagged to someone for the sake of climax. Aju's father character had a spark of a great actor.
