Padmini

We all expect a good movie from a director who has done a good job with his first Malayalam movie but this was not good as Senna Hegde's 'Thinkalazhcha Nishchayam'. There were many fun moments and that was great but we the audience are expecting more from a director like Senna Hegde. This was an average one for me.

Chackochan had a good vibe throughout and Aparna was also fine but Madonna stole the show, she was adorable throughout. The story and screenplay were not that strong and in the end, the director somehow concluded it. Not a worthy ending at all. The movie started off well but didn't maintain that momentum as the story progressed.

Last but not least it will be great if Sajin Cherukayil (Jayan Chettan) is getting some good roles. He is getting typecast in roles like this and the audience already knows how that will end because he is continuously doing roles like that.

The film is an absolutely entertaining. If you love comedy, this movie is for you. Comedy is excellent, direction is superb. Loved the movie.

A complete light hearted family entertainer.

The movie also highlights the pressure faced by women in marriage which is also an interesting topic.

Among the three leading ladies, Aparna is best for her performance than the other two and gets as much visibility as Kunchacko Boban.

Comedy is the major highlight of Padmini. Watch it for endless comedy scenes.

There are some refreshing scenes like the advertisement of the Rareeram mattress firm owned by Jayan that erupts huge laughter.

Can watch it again just for the laughter.

I enjoyed this movie. And while it has its many laugh out moments, it certainly has some deeper aspects that it tries to shed light on. What I found surprising is that the characters were so well drawn out and each character will hit differently for different people.

It is must watch for you adults looking to settle down and considering long term life changing decisions like marriages or falling in / getting out of a relationship.

Life is complex. Everyone's got baggage. Everyone's a bit immature and everyone's got their quirks. Life can seem a bit random, but we yearn for a more grandiose outcome. But with time and age we make sense of the choices we make.

Waste of time. Kunjachacko has gone seriously wrong with this one.

Movie could have been so much better. Even the humour is lopsided, warped and trite. Clichéd situations, mysoginistic (what's new), talentless lead actress who is half the age of the middle aged lead actor (but perfect hair, sarees and bleached face of course, is in place - Acting is optional).

Story goes for a toss after 10 mins or so. Rudderless direction with silly dialogues.

I would not even this is a one time watch.

Given this is a Malayalam movie, I can only imagine that such ridicous movies are few and far between, as the industry has some excellent talents, way better than any other regional cinemas in India. Otherwise God help the Malayalam movie industry.

The beginning was ultimate and it was ROFL. But they failed miserably to carry that one till the end. The movie was too simple and waiting for some banging moment till the end. But ended with that simplicity in the end also.

There are some good funny and feel good moments in this movie. But that is not enough to carry the movie for 2 hours. Finally felt it was dragged.

The characters are bit interesting and the story also. There is a big lag in the middle portion. The movie starts to sparkle when Vincy starts appear in the end portion, but that also not satisfying.

This is one time decent watch.
