Mandakini

This is a small light hearted movie with hilarious moments.

The plot of the movie is on a marriage and an unfortunate incident that happened on the day and the event that follows forms the story.

Director tried to convince the audience through many humorous moments but the story lacked enough strength to keep the viewers engaged as the story was very much stretched unnecessarily. The movie could have been cut short to 90 minutes or could have been made for OTT release. A major lag was felt in the second half.

Good performances by all the actors especially Althaf,Anarkali,Vineeth Thattil,Jeo Baby,Kutty Akhil,Ajai Vasudev and the lady who played Althaf's mother.

Director's inexperience is visible in the way he treated the second half.

This movie is very entertaining and a fun watch for anyone. You won't leave the theater unhappy. I'm so happy to see the beauty of Malayalam cinema, whether it's a big-budget film or a movie like this. This is a must-watch for a really good laugh. The casting is excellent, and the script and dialogues are so relatable. It's a beautiful piece of art that combines humor and authenticity effortlessly. The performances are top-notch, making every scene resonate with genuine emotion. This movie is truly a gem. Don't miss this captivating experience that showcases the brilliance of Malayalam movies.

There are a few laughable moments in this film and that's it. Expect nothing and you will get a Biriyani. Anarkali was a miscast in this film and I personally didn't like her acting in this film. Althaaf and the other supporting actors were fine though.

This film got some good promotion and all the credits goes to Dabzee's song, it's a superb song. Don't expect the same with the film. It's just an average film and there are a number of moments where you might need to use the fast forward option in your PC or mobile phone.

The production design was nice, and there were some laughable moments, but overall, the movie is just average.

Two hours of complete irritation. From the beginning to the end, each character on the screen made me irritated at least once. I just want to mention that Jaffar Idukki made me feel like leaving the theatre without completing the movie. So much irrelevant content was put together to make the movie. The second half of the movie was so, so boring since there was no hook for the viewers to concentrate on. The story itself doesn't have anything interesting. There are a couple of so-called mass sequences for Altaf's mother's character, where they put up a mass background score, and those scenes literally made me laugh.
