Palthu Janwar

Seriously i saw this movie just because of 8.8 rating but this is not true nothing special in this movie get bored in first half i thought second half will be better than first half but it was useless

The film starts off well, and then collapses miserably in the second half. The premise, the people, their problems really helped make the first half more convincing. The second half was more of a stretched version to prove the mettle of the protagonist, to give the character much needed high, and that leads to a bigger issue of characterisation.

The protagonist is weak in every aspects, the initial graph builds up very well and then it strays and leads us to a place where I was wondering what was this movie all about. I felt the protagonist did not led me to any particular emotion where I can connect, everything looked superficial, even his qualms, his humiliation, his sudden spark of anger, all of these came out very casual without any empathy element, probably that could lead us to another aspect, the treatment.

Average but One time watchable, very different kind of movie, slow paced and simple execution. Natural acting by everyone.

Cinematography was nice, the visuals gave a peaceful feeling. Basil Joseph did a suitable role. The message included in the movie was nice, it shows that even though some people ignore the value of the life of an animal for some other people the animal is so precious like someone part of their family. Story was pretty basic, maybe a bit of an overused kind of idea but it might not be that off putting for everyone. Indrans was the standout performer with his innocent attitude and lighthearted humour.

I love slow movies, I love original simple movies, I love low budget cute little gems from Malayalam. But this movie wasn't one of them. There is this guy who is pushed to do a job that he didn't wan't. Good premise and I was expecting a his nice journey which changes his perspectives and growing as a person. But none of these things happen in this movie. He goes there, few things happen and a cow delivers at the end. That's it.

I don't understand the hype of this film, or the box office success. Did I miss something or did I watch a different version on OTT !!

If you love good movies , just skip this one. Watch may be Home once again.

While most Malayalam production houses try and fail to gauge what the audience wants, the folks at Bhavana Studios seem intent on telling unique, high-concept yet salt-of-the-earth stories and trust the audience to rise to meet the challenge the content throws at them. The dream trio behind this elite production house-Dileesh Pothan, Fahadh Faasil and Shyam Pushkaran come up with their third rousing entertainer on the trot, with the immensely enjoyable "Paltu Janwar", a heartwarming coming of age story that will leave you with an ear-to-ear grin as you leave the cinema hall.

Basil Joseph has fast become a mainstay in Malayalam entertainment, both as a director and as an actor. After having established a new benchmark on what can be achieved within the confined of Mollywood with his awe-inspiring directorial "Minnal Murali (2021)", he backed that up with his stellar lead performance in the smash hit "Jan. E. Man", one of the movies of 2021. We catch him in "Paltu Janwar" as a disillusioned young livestock inspector, forced by circumstances to take up a job he has no interest in, that too in a remote village. The many obstacles that he faces as he comes to terms with his new environment and the many funny mishaps that ensue form the rest of this delightful feel-good comedy-drama.

Johny Antony proves yet again that he is a force to be reckoned with as far as character acting in Malayalam is concerned, with a heartfelt, natural performance as "Devis", a troubled farmer desperately trying to make ends meet with his meager livestock. It was also a joy to see Indrans return to his comic avatar after a string of serious roles and the veteran knocks it out of the park as usual with his delectable turn as "Member Kochu George". Dileesh Pothan, Sruthy Suresh and Shammi Thilakan further shine in their supporting roles in a film that gets its casting spot on.

Director Sangeeth P Rajan shows no signs of being a debutante, weaving an immensely relatable tale of the unavoidable twists and turns that life takes you on and the unexpected relationships and experiences that shape the journey therein. It is commendable how Bhavana Studios finds success in such diverse genres, first with the quirky family drama "Kumbalangi Nights (2019)", then with the psychological thrills of "Joji (2021)" and now the joyful "Palthu Janwar". Cannot wait to see what they come up with next. Highly recommended!

The movie is kinda fell good type...small story..small village... It's about prasoon played by basil Joseph who is kinda animator turned livestock inspector. He is not fond of this job and at end ..as you have guessed he slowly begins to feel attachment to "paltu janwars" Basil Joseph does a good job in portraying the depressed prasoon. The characters played by indrans , shammi thilakan makes the first half interesting. The way prasoon tries to adjust with the rural people and embarrassing moments with his elder sister (unnimaya Prasad) is so good and so real..

Yes, the first half is interesting. But towards the end ,it's disappointing. The ending seems rushed and i think the ending sucks... So I gave 7 stars... I want to appreciate the use of animals in the movie..ah.yes the name itself is paltu janwars. Animal lovers ,look closely you could find hidden animals in various scenes. And the song at end is such a masterpiece.
