Nunakkuzhi

This comedy crime film strikes a perfect balance between suspense and humor, turning chaos and criminal mischief into pure entertainment. It's the kind of movie that keeps you guessing while making you laugh at the absurdity of every twist and turn. From the opening scene, it's clear that the film doesn't want to be taken too seriously - yet beneath the laughter, it cleverly satirizes greed, ambition, and the unpredictable nature of human behavior.

Nunakuzhi explores how Aby, a company MD gets linked to a chain of incidents leading to chaos. Did he manages to escape from it?.

The most important factor in a multi linked story is the way individual stories shape up and gets connected to each other. That's where the first credit goes to writer Krishnakumar. There is MD Vava alias Aby where the linking begins. Also, there is Grace Antony's character who gets unintentionally involved in another incident. The way Krishnakumar connects subplots and creates chaos is just hilarious. Some initial scenes gave Vaalvi kind of vibe. Though it gets predictable at times, Jeethu Joseph makes sure that the chaos never gets to a tiring or irritating mode. Special mention to the dialogues. For instance in a scene, Siddique's character replies to Aby like 'Police kar idichal nee ithinekkal vrithikku karayum'. The situation where the comic one-liners were delivered makes it easy to work out. Cuts were nice enough to maintain the flow of the pivotal incidents and conversations.

Background score carries the energy of the total movie and maintains the curiosity factor of where is this leading to. Title song was placed aptly but the other song wasn't that needed for the movie.

Comedies are where I have the most disagreements with most people. I'm not a huge fan of a lot of comedies that are more beloved and often find myself enjoying the ones that aren't that popular. From a lot of reviews, it seems that's the case with this movie too. Nunakkuzhi is a comedy of errors with a great ensemble cast. The first half of the movie was entertaining enough but it was filled with Jeethu Joseph's signature overbearing music which didn't completely work for me. Even though a little over the top, the cast did a great job of keeping me invested in it. But then the second half was a laugh riot for me. Maybe I was sucked into the movie by that time and got used to the over-the-topness of the movie. But when all the smaller stories started colliding, it was incredible watching the cast being hilarious. Basil being a hateable weirdo rich mamma's boy was a bit of a surprise but he was great as always. Watching Manoj K Jayan after a long time was also pleasant. Siddique, Baiju, Grace, Nikhila, and everyone were just amazing to watch as they were fully committed to this over-the-topness that is rarely seen now and even rarer to see it work. Even though I enjoyed it a lot, the film has its flaws. There are a lot of portions where it did feel like it could have better pacing. The characters could have been a bit more well-rounded. The comedy in the first hour had moments where it felt like they were giving space for laughter in the theater but the people weren't actually laughing. It also felt like they could have made it a bit deeper because there were a lot of things in it that had the potential to add layers beyond what they did. But overall it was a fun two hours that I really enjoyed.

A complete laugh riot with no hard feelings from a director who is known for his serious crime thriller movies...the movie somewhat looks like taken by JeethuJoseph out of frustration of his past couple of movies and his tamil movie not doing well in box office ... This is out of his genre and man he rocked ... He has made a comedy crime thriller u can call it with serious actors unlike comedy actors .... Majority of actors in this movie are known for more serious roles and they create a laugh riot.... The story is nothing path breaking but Jeethu who is a screenplay master used his strength to full potential to create this movie and like his other previous movies like Dhrishyam he linked his first scene to the main spot of whole movie... Definitely worth a watch and the dialogues are key for this movie... All characters small or large creates laughter with serious faces unlike a santhanam crap joke movies .... Malayalam movie directors proves that they are good at any genre at any small budget... GO FOR IT.

What a movie and what a brilliant casting! Kudos to Jeethu Joseph for a creating a brilliant comedy movie after a long time. The comedic elements worked really well for me in this movie, and the ensemble cast, including Aju Varghese and Swasika, just stole the show.

I don't have any negatives to share about this one but I felt the editing could have been a bit better. Jeethu's technical department has a great standard and I have been noting that since a long time. I'm not saying it was bad but I felt it lacked the lustre unlike his last films.

Basil Joseph has done a great job once again. Hopefully, he will continue choosing the right scripts. Kudos to everyone once again.
