Malaysia to Amnesia

Review By Kamal K

I watched the new Tamil comedy Malaysia To Amnesia on Zee5 w/Eng. Subs.

This movie could have been a lot better than what it is which is only slightly better than a Time Pass film.

Arun (Vaibhav Reddy) a successful young businessman with a wife and young daughter, is missing for a few days ostensibly after taking a flight to Malaysia. He is found roaming along the beach in a peculiar state by his friend Prabhu (Karunakaran) . He can not remember anything or anyone. Prabhu brings him home but he can not remember his wife or child. While this is going on, the wife's colourful mama/uncle (MS Bhaskar) turns up unexpectedly for a longish stay. Mama fancies himself as a good investigator of sorts and is suspicious about Arun and Prabhu. It turns out that Arun was having an affair with a girl in Bangalore but the Malaysia flight that he lied about being on, went missing. Prabhu helps Arun cook up the amnesia act to cover up.

The narrative continues with various stretched and convoluted twists and turns until the cunning end. MS Bhaskar as the Mama, and Karunakaran as Prabhu are the real stars of the show who keep this film going at a reasonably interesting pace. The other very well enacted character was the watchman (Mayilsamy). The film could have been better had it been shorter and the dialogues better scripted in a more humorous manner. Vani Bhojan as the wife is too naive a character though she redeems herself when she throws Mama out.

As I said, this movie had the potential to be a lot more humorous but was not.

A watchable good film Vaibhav acting superb Acting wise superb at all But old story 👍👍👍

RATED 7/10 Language: Tamil

Forget the logics and just enjoy the drama...its not original but not boring... The problem is last 20 minutes and moral of the story... One time watchable comedy drama... Lower your expectations and its second worst of Radhamohan...

A cheating man cheats again.

First half good tho.

Same old story.

Average timepass entertainer, with hilarious dialogues and scenes. Acting of Vaibhav, Karunakaran, Vani & MS Bhaskar was too good, although there are only about 7 characters in the movie. Felt like watching a drama, as number of locations in which movie has been shot was less, probably due to the budget. This movie is definitely made for OTT and not worth watching in theatres.
