Vishesham

Vishesham is a simple and average movie. The plot that deals with second marriage and pregnancy issues is pertinent and at times engaging. The main drawback of this movie was the male lead, his acting works for the initial bits to show vulnerability, but as soon as emotions kick in, his acting is really poor. This becomes even more apparent next to the female lead, who is really good and believable, and the male lead in those parts struggle. Besides that the other characters don't really get a chance to contribute as their arcs are poorly written and embedded into the movie. All in all, a decent subject, poorly acted and conceived in a pretty average way.

Started watching this movie with low expectations and went out well. I have enjoyed the movie whole throughout.

Vishesham movie revolves around a couple in 30s facing infertility issues and their struggles and hope. Comedy, Sentiments and Drama worked out well whole. Sooraj Tom's execution and narration to Anand Madhusoodanan's script was pretty good. The scriptwriter played the main lead and he was good in his acting but his shaking off head in every dialogue was little awkward. Chinnu who played the female lead portrayed her character very well. She was charismatic and played the emotional part very well.

Music was good and soothing. The camerawork was not so brilliant but was etched with the movie.

All the characters in the movie was good and they really played their part well. I loved most of the dialogues in the movie. Some of the scenes were hilarious. And also, i loved the part were the movie conveyed so many messages in the dialogues and also with their actions.

Baiju, Althaf Salim, Johny Antony, Vineeth Thattil and cameo by Dileesh Pothan played their roles well.

All in whole, a good light hearted comedy that worked in conveying a social message which is relevant at this stage of our livelihood.

Vishesham

A small movie reflecting on the societal taboos on marriage convention and planned parenthood.

The story revolves around Shibu Bhaktan,an NRI retunee who has settled in his hometown with Organic Farming and Transformation coach as a passion. The plot of the story is on the marriage institution,Parenthood, Relationship and the societies and families old style beliefs and take on it.

Sooraj Tom has pulled of the story convincingly by putting light onto the real emotions and trauma that the married couples has to undergo under the aforesaid situations.

He has also pointed on the mental and emotional support that couples need to have for one other and to face life together with positive affirmations and determination.

The subject put forward by Sooraj Tom & Anand Madhusoodanan who has penned the story is very relevant and to the point in this status quo.

A small feel good movie with a message.

Rating - 3.25/5.

Oh my God - who is Anand Madhusoodanan and where was he hiding all these while. Just 5 min into the movie I was stunned with how likeable he was and how well he was acting. As the movie ended about 2 hours later I couldn't forget him. Rarely have I been so impressed with a performance by an unknown actor.

This is a wonderful plot and a very well made movie. Chinnu is exemplary in her role. Anand and Chinnu have 90% of the screen time and it's a pleasure to watch them emote.

The direction and writing is such that every actor excels and you just get the feel good vibe throughout. Althaf is as funny as ever, Ann Jameela is excellent in her short presence, Baiju is unbelievably cute, Parvathi stuns in her role - well everyone shines.

This is a MUST WATCH movie for all the right reasons.

There are movies that come once in a while and take you by surprise, and this film did exactly that. With no big budget or star-studded cast, it still manages to deliver an almost perfect cinematic experience that deserves more recognition.

This is the tale of a couple who initially struggle to get married due to the man being bald and the woman on the healthier side. After their wedding, they face yet another challenge-struggling to conceive.

Set in Kerala, the story portrays middle-class individuals dealing with universal problems, making it relatable and as if it's unfolding right next door. The emotions it evokes tug at your heartstrings, leaving you wanting more. The beauty of the screenplay lies in its ability to handle such a serious subject with hope, leaving a smile on your face. The characterization is another highlight, as you can't help but fall in love with each character.

The casting is sheer perfection. Anand Madhusoodanan, as the lead, is an unconventional hero and his performance is a sight to behold. His innocence will undoubtedly carve a special place in your heart. Chinnu Chandni Nair is another powerhouse of talent, delivering a natural and above-excellent performance, especially in the emotional sequences. Even the supporting cast, including Althaf Salim, Gilu Joseph, Ann Jameela Saleem, Vineeth Thattil, and many others, elevate the film to another level.

The music perfectly syncs with the narrative, setting the tone without interrupting the flow, as there are no lip-sync songs. The pacing of the film is just right, ensuring you're thoroughly entertained throughout. The first half may remind you a little of Bala, Ujda Chaman, or Tamasha.

This is an emotionally charged movie that you must watch. It's a family film that wraps you in a warm blanket of feelings.
