Malayalee from India

*** Malayalee From India Malayalam Movie Review ***

Directed by Dijo Jose Anthony starring Nivin Pauly, Dhyan Sreenivasan in the lead role.

Plot of the Movie.

Nivin Pauly plays the character name Alaparambil Gopi, an irresponsible man who is always a nuisance to his family. A night when an unforeseen incident Gopi needs to fleed away from his place & shifts to Dubai but his life changes. How & what is that impact in Gopi's life is all about the movie.

Movie Analysis.

1) Nivin Pauly factor is the main highlight of the movie. His natural comic performance makes the movie watchable.

2) Dhyan Sreenivasan also adds a cherry to the movie. Expected a full-time screen presence with Nivin which did not happen and made me disappointed.

3) Overall, the movie talks of the brotherhood between Hindu & Muslim which in today's time more than an awareness it has become a reminder which does not needs to be reminded.

4) In second half the duration could have been trimmed as at one point it was like a kind of detachment but again as mentioned Nivin's screen presence brought us back.

5) In second half, the artist portraying the rule of a Pakistani had beautifully performed.

6) Able to witness the a Bhajarangi Bhaijaan & GOAT LIFE comic version in this.

Overall, a repeated told topic but with Nivin Pauly we could able to sustain at the big screen for 2.40 Hours.

The first half of the movie is filled with combination scenes between Dhyan and Nivin, along with a lot of unnecessary political content that left me frustrated. I don't get what Anaswara Rajan's role significance the movie. When it comes to the second half, the movie deal with the a malayali outside india. Try to include a lot of emotional connect between an indian and pakistani. A sentimental drama they have tried to portray in the second half eventually made the audience numb with their feelings. It's surprising that the same writer and director of "Jana-Gana-Mana" created this movie. Personally, I found myself eagerly awaiting the interval during the first half and wishing for the movie to end during the interval. I wouldn't recommend watching this in theaters, but ultimately, the choice is yours.

This movie is actually a good movie,I won't say it's great but it's premises the way it discusses politics, Strong dialogues and also the degradation shows how the msg has actually got through these specific people... The movie is mostly centralised on the character by Nivin known as Aalparambil Gopi... And he does deliver a stellar performance as the character and uplifts the movie.. Dhyan sreenivasan was also good but he was not having that much of a role along with anaswara... Overall the movie discusses the poltics related to religion and the indo-pak problems in a satirical way... I won't say it's the perfect movie out there...There are flaws in screenplay and script...But it as a whole is a very good movie and doesn't deserve the degradation that it has been receiving... Also the Pakistani guy was really good and his daughter too.. They all performed well.. It is a nice movie to spend time in theatres and it won't disappoint you if you are a neutral movie viewer... I would give it a 8/10.. Also don't expect something like Jana gana Mana cuz the way that things are handled are in a different manner... The music by Jakes Bejoy was also nice especially the background musics which uplifted various scenes..

Malayali from India became India vs Pakistan in a short while. It seemed to tell us so many stories and tranfer so many morals but ends up making the audience so much confused about where they were getting with all this. Be it political riots (Shine Tom Chacko brought some excitement), the reach of cricket, slavery in Arab countries, desert farming, educating girls, IS, COVID in remote areas. Not one theme could milk substantial emotions although each one has potential when explored properly, with depth and dedication.

Nivin Pauly acting in some areas were good and the bromance between him and Dhyan brought about few but fleeting moments of laughter. However, the audience couldn't escape from the lag. After some exceptional movies from mollywood in the past few months, this one certainly falls flat, in all areas. None of the songs nor the visuals seemed to have lasting, especially in contrast to aadujeevitham which had a similar setting, although it is an unfair comparison. In some areas, the background score, especially chenda melam use seemed to hit the right chords. Otherwise the movie had very less going for itself.

Malayalee from India was a letdown. There were only a few laughable moments, and hardly any truly good ones. It felt like a rehash of familiar elements from other films. The film overdid many aspects, particularly in trying to recapture Nivin Pauly's charm, but it ultimately fell short. Despite Nivin's talent, the movie didn't do him justice. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have sat through it.

The last scene was particularly cringeworthy, epitomizing the irritating Malayali Pwoliaada concept. The film's agenda overshadowed genuine storytelling. The characters were poorly utilized: Dhyan and Anaswara's roles felt underutilised and added no value. Overall, Malayalee from India is a forgettable film that fails to entertain or enlighten, with poor execution overshadowing any understandable underlying message.
