Paapam Cheyyathavar Kalleriyatte

I am extremely impressed by the quality of cut-throat satire in Paapam Cheyyathavar Kalleriyatte (Let Sinners Repent) that takes potshots at a variety of things prevalent in modern (Christian) weddings and the dual-faced behaviour of the people involved and the things they do in the name of money.

There are plenty of LOL moments in here starting from the first frame which takes a very leisurely approach throughout the film, magnifying some of the best performances I have seen so far this year. I would even call the entire cast performance a triumph as the comedy manages to convey its flurry of messages loud and clear, aptly enhanced by good characterisation, smooth camera work, and engaging dialogues.

Nonetheless, it is let down by a shabby climax that could have been righter and unambiguous. Yet, this one gets my thumbs up. An absolute merriment, the 2 hours you will spend on this. Even better if you are against the pomp and circumstance involved in fat Indian weddings. TN.

(Watched and reviewing during its world television premiere on Asianet.)

Let me warn you. This is not everyone's cup of tea. You'll probably end up hating this movie. I liked it anyway except for that crappy climax. There were lot of hilarious moments but they are scattered here and there. If the script was better, the movie could've been quite good. Watch it if you've got nothing else to do.

The movie is an exaggerated version of the scenes that occur during a wedding in India, in a Keralan setting. It captures the essentials and presents it in a funny manner. It's a decent one time watch which presents a lot of social practices and associated ills related to a typical marriage. Even though the story goes places, the director has managed to hold it all together and put together a watchable movie. Definitely a good one time watch. The cast was also pretty good.

Paapam Cheyyathavar kalleriyayte is a beaufully crafted comedy with some unexpected and surprising plot twists. A must watch for everyone who seeks a fresh perspective on our societal stereotypes.

This film sarcastically expose the sense of fake morality in our society. The chaos occuring when your best kept secrets are exposed to everyone around you is shown in a hilarious way. Good acting and music.
