Nna Thaan Case Kodu

The entire movie was highly engaging.... All the characters were absolutely stunning.... The typical malabari language and the innocence behavior of the people in that special locality.. Director brilliance amazing.

When you have Ratheesh Balakrishnan Poduval (Android Kunjappan) directing the movie & Kunchacko 2.0 starring it in; you are bound to flock to the cinemas to watch it. Nna Thaan Case Kodu (Sue Me) is yet another engrossing movie from the Malayalam film industry. A courtroom set satire that keeps you hooked and gives you hope that justice will be delivered in a similar manner even in the real world.

Rajeevan is a petty thief who has now mend his ways after falling in love. But one night, he is caught on camera while scaling the wall of a politician's house. Charged with a crime he hasn't committed, Rajeevan is determined to clear his name to prove his innocence to his wife.

Nna Thaan Case Kodu takes its own sweet time to deliver a verdict and that is good because that is how our judicial system functions. The poor get convicted with ease whereas the high & mighty don't even appear in court. Nna Thaan portrays this in a very hilarious yet effective manner. Kunchacko Boban's resurgence (post-chocolate boy days) continues as he delivers yet another exceptional performance. Kunchacko's act is supplemented by some memorable supporting acts by Gayathrie Shankar, Rajesh Madhavan, P P Kunhikrishnan, Unnimaya Prasad among others.

Nna Thaan Case Kodu delivers on all fronts and takes a jab at the lack of basic civic amenities in the state and gives us a verdict that we all dream of. Hats off to #RatheeshBalakrishnanPoduval, #kunchacks and others for this gem of a movie that addresses an important issue in the most hilarious way possible.

Ratheesh Balakrishnan Poduval's third directorial venture is a poignantly written and superbly executed political satire under the guise of a courtroom drama. His trademark situational humor and sharp dialogues are among the film's notable positives. It also helps that Kunchacko Boban continues his string of excellent performances, playing a character we couldn't imagine him do in his early days. Backing up the lead performance are fantastic feats from the entire supporting cast that includes several newcomers amid a few familiar faces like the effervescent Rajesh Madhavan (who also handpicked these performers as a casting director).

It's difficult not to mention talents like P. P. Kunhikrishnan (the adorable magistrate) alongside Advocates Shukkur and Krishnan who end up as an unforgettable duo. Gayathrie, who plays the female lead, shines in pretty much every scene she's in. Dawn Vincent's musical score lends gravitas to several punchy courtroom scenes. It's rare to see the audience clap so much for counter-dialogues but I was able to witness that today after a long time. There are also smart jabs taken at (literally) everyone in power, making us realize the irony in our understanding of a functional democracy. The gradual hike in petrol prices shown on the film's time-stamps is also quite an inventive move.

Unlike, say Jana Gana Mana, which was loud and slightly over-the-top in its storytelling, Nna Thaan Case Kodu remains grounded all through, and the humor is certainly refreshing.

Awesome movie. Kunjako boban Nd team done a great job. Except lead role the rest of the roles were handled by unknown actors and they haven't left any thing that they are new to the screen and acting as experts in acting. Hat's off to the makers and the editing also. Best regards.
