Nunakkuzhi

An IT raid on Eby Zachariah's company leads to IT assistant commission Bhamakrishnan seizing the devices including Eby's personal laptop for further enquiry. Eby has his private video with his wife saved in his laptop and she gives him an ultimatum to retrieve it at any cost. Meanwhile, Rashmitha feels humiliated by her husband and his doctor friend Jayadevan during her divorce case hearing. She confronts Jayadevan violently and later tries to end her life. Eby tries to steal the laptop but ends up hiding in Rashmitha's flat and even drinks the poison laced drink she had made for herself. What happens that night when the police, a film actor and hired goons get involved in the mess, forms rest of the story.

The over the top comedy is something up Basil Joseph's ally and he aces his role with ease. As the humor is driven by the situation and ofcourse several misunderstandings, it works mostly in evoking laughs especially during the hospital scene and later towards the end. I wish Althaf Salim's segment was better handled but the final reveal involving him made me laught the most. Nunakkuzhi remained a decent watch, thanks to the performances and may be it won't work the same in repeat watches. The comic timing of Basil Joseph and Grace Antony along with Nikhila Vimal in the end, guarantees laughs, making it a decent one time watch.

~ ' Nunakuzhi ' directed by Jeetu Joseph starring Basil Jospeh was a hit and a miss experience for me at the theatre. There were moments that I laughed while there were also moments where I was bored by the film. The film's title is apt for the story. The central premise of the film is how lies can put you into grave danger and how it could affect our lives. The plot was interesting but the execution wasn't much. There were a lot of things and characters in the film who don't have a proper arc or ending. The film's first half was okayish at best and the second half is where most of the funny moments happen with Baiju being my standout of the film. Basil , Siddique, Manoj K Jayan , Grace Antony and Aju Varghese has done a decent job aswell. The scores done by Vishnu Shyam was nice , direction by Jeethu Joseph while it's not bad but it's not that Jeethu Joseph level. I could blame my average experience on my ' My Boss ' level film expectation or the crowd as it was not packed. Overall , it was a timepass film for me and nothing else.

Nunakuzhi - Liar's day out

A humorous engaging story telling by Jeethu Joseph built over endless lies.

The plot of the movie revolves around the heaps of lies that two individuals tell to cover the trouble they accidentally got into and the interconnected events that they come across forms the storyline.

Krishnakumar has written an engaging script with many humorous moments except for few flaws in areas that makes the story predictable. The way he connected all the characters in the story and their placement was impressive.

A highlight of this movie is evident through the brilliant casting of many versatile actors in the movie. Impressive performances by Basil,Grace,Siddique,Baiju Santhosh,Manoj K Jayan,Saiju Kurup,Althaf & Binu Pappu.

Good story telling by Jeethu in the humour genre after My Boss. The placement of the song 'Hallelujah' synced well with the situation. Jeethu has conveyed the story through a humorous track without losing the essence of the screenplay keeping the audience absorbed to the movie.

A fun to watch entertainer that is definitely a laughter treat for the audience.

Rating - 3.5/5.

The movie has lot of fun moments and laughed out in lot of scenes. The last twenty minutes are ultimate roller coaster ride. Jeethu Joseph added the thriller flavour to the comic galatta story and it worked out well.

Basil is ultimate and his body language, dialog delivery worked out very well. But the predictable story line and the lagging in here and there are spoiled the pace of the movie.

The too much of comedy flavour killed the thrill factor in the movie. The murder and dead body become another comedy object and it failed to give the impact.

One time watchable.

This movie is Hilarious. Actors have done a good job. The story is very engaging and unpredictable with lots of twists and turns. Loved it. Basil Joseph is right for the role and I loved Siddique's character.

It's been a while since I watched a good funny Malayalam movie.

The movie flows effortlessly and every scene and dialogue are nice to watch. What I liked most is, in every scene the actors in the background is worth watching. Those expressions can make you chuckle.

Who ever wrote this story is a genius. There's lot of attention given to the details and the direction is also really good. There is only one song in the movie and it is placed aptly.
