Pavi Caretaker

As an ardent Dileep fan who has enjoyed the brunt of Dileep movies, Pavi Caretaker was a huge disappointment. Sure, the glances of the old Dileep are seen here and there, but the attempt to revive his old self or "vintage" has backfired terribly. What Dileep needs is a good script and the execution of it rather than a revival which is pointless.

The movie fails to hit the spot with its tasteless display of slapstick comedy which faded away from the trend a long time ago. Old Dileep movies had the abundant presence of physical comedy which was provenly quite hilarious during that time. But, experimenting something like that in front of an updated and anxious audience is futile.

It is not like a Dileep movie to not make me laugh in the slightest as this movie exactly did. Although in a few emotional scenes Dileep did prove that he has still got it in him. Which is why he should focus more on script selection.

Anyway, Pavi Caretaker turned out to be nothing but a reality check that I might have wait a little longer to see a Dileep blockbuster. And I hope that do happens soon.

*** Pavi Caretaker Malayalam Movie Review ***

Directed by Vineeth Kumar starring Dileep in the lead role.

Plot of the Movie.

Pavithran a Ex NRI returned to hometown serving a security guard duty in an apartment. Leading a single life, his only companion is a dog whom its refereed as "bro." One moment comes up when a girl whom he has not seen become his most important person in his life & how his life changes is all about the movie.

Movie Analysis.

1) We could able to see Dileep performing his best when he comes in his ground. Comedy and Dileep are always hand to hand & here we could see that magic again.

2) The story gives the shades of his earlier movie "Bodyguard" but still it is a watchable flick.

3) As the title suggest, Pavi is the care taker of the apartment, but in life when he was in the notion there is no need of anyone but a moment which changes his view towards his life & he feels that there is a need of care taker not only to take care during his old age but throughout his life a person whom he could share his thoughts , express his emotions , rely blindly , the story although seems to be heard a lot but still it's a point to be remembered in each one's life.

Overall a decent watchable Dileep fun flick.

I didn't enjoy this movie, and the extended runtime felt completely unnecessary. I expected a comeback from Dileep but that didn't end up well.

The story was also not convincing at all and somewhere the screenplay was a bit sloppy. You usually expect a good family-friendly movie when Dileep is in it, but this one just didn't have that feel.

Everyone has performed well in the movie and Dileep also did a great job. I think he should do more serious roles like he did in Ramaleela. He's an actor with a lot of talent, so naturally, we expect much more from him. Hopefully next time he won't dissapoint us, fingers crossed.

This film was ok, performances over the top, Dileep and director trying to recreate slapstick and cliched physical comedy of 2000s ( homages or scenes reminiscing of CID Moosa, Parakkumthalika, Vettam etc. Put in)

But the story and character development was given less priority in going for the comedy!

Also screenplay is hit and miss and supporting acting was below average.

The movie is not as bad the rating I gave, movie is watchable when it is comes on TV - can watch on a lazy afternoon - when you don't want logic, but just entertainment. But Malayalam movies and audience deserve better ! The story and premise had potential and a better more serious treatment! Ity

The leads character got messed up trying to inject comedy - because Pavi in comedy scenes and in other scenes are totally different - it's like he is suffering multiple personal disorder.

This is a typical dileep chali movie which usually doesn't have a quality comedy or content .

Other reviews seems to be paid PR work as it's nearly impossible to watch this cringy lazy creation.

The acting is mediocre with very weak script and cringe dialogues.

Dileep is a very outdated actor and it's obvious that he wouldn't be able to pull off a good movie by himself nowadays. It's better thst he should be doing some ammavan type roles since his aged face suits only that nowadays.

The theatre was half empty to begin with and many of the people went outside in the middle of the movie that alone tells the quality of this movie .
