Painkili

If you like watching comedy movies this is one of the best for a long while in Malayalam movies. Lucky that we gave it a go. Don't trust the negative reviews here.

The story line was good. BGM was good too. It's a great entertainer .

Story is by the same guy who wrote Romanian and Avesham.

The acting of all of them are good, especially the girl who likes the hero from the start. And the one supportive friend of hero.

The usual Villan who acted as hero's dad was funny.

Heros acting towards the end was too good. Pretty sure he ll be a major stay in malayalam movies. He is soo versatile can handle comedy and serious roles.

This type of humor is not for everybody. But those who like dumb funny with a measure of intelligence in it will find this movie worth the watch. If you're a fan of comedians like Conan O'Brien and that similar style of sketch comedy this is right up your alley. All the characters were well developed and there is some really good world building in it as well. Hope they keep on making moving like this!

Painkili

Rating - 3.25/5

A simple fun to watch entertainer with overboard performances and absurd situations.

The plot of the story revolves around a hapless guy whose life turns topsy turvy when an eccentric girl comes uninvited to his life and the humourous events that unfolds forms the story.

Jithu Madhavan has penned a humorous story but the flaws in the script is evident wherein the movie loses its momentum in few situations but gets back with good performances. Sreejith has executed the story exceptionally well through spoof humour moments and dialogues inspired from few movies. The story gets interesting towards the second half but few climax portions felt too overdramatic filled with cringe moments.

Impressive performance by Sajin Gopu who has proved his potential to shoulder any roles. Good performance by Anaswara with her eccentric character but the character arc designed for her felt immature and incomplete. Impressive performances by Abu Salim through his witty dialogues and mannerisms,Jisma Vimal,Roshan Shanavas & Chandu Salim Kumar.

Justin Varghese has done an exceptional work through his Music and BGM's blending with the quirky situations.

A decent entertainer by Sreejith and Jithu Madhavan with a bizarre story narrative style.

Painkili is a mindless film that ends up frustrating the audience rather than entertaining them. It's hard to believe this was penned by Jithu Madhavan. Though it attempts to present itself as an experimental piece, it falters due to poorly developed characters and weak writing. The female lead, in particular, suffers from shallow characterisation driven by uninspired scripting.

While a few slapstick moments land well, they aren't enough to salvage a film that's steadily falling apart. Justin Varghese's background score works in parts but is often overly loud, and the songs feel repetitive and dull.

Abu Salim does a decent job in his comic role, whereas Riyaz Khan's comedy comes off as forced. Sajin Gopu puts in an acceptable performance, though his character lacks proper development.

By the end, you're left wondering-why was this even made?

Not recommended. Watch it only if you have time to waste-and even then, proceed with caution.

Watched Painkili...Mal Movie yesterday... PAINkili was really PAINFUL to tolerate in Imax Absolute waste of time and money... I wonder whether there is a deal between reviewers and film field...some online reviewers have given average and above average opinions....

Anaswara was like enthino thilakkunna sambar...may be to attract family audience Usual villans in comedy roles Abu Salim and Riaz Khan...different attempt Sajin Gopu and the second female lead were decent in their roles...

BGM was good most of the places but loud

Overall a below average experience

Better tile is CHALI or VALIPPU than PAINkili

3 star out of 10 for few scattered comedies and the effort by a few new casts

WATCH IN THEATRES AT YOUR RISK..
