Madhuram

Beautifull Love story played by Joju and others. Songs and background score was amazing. Performances was so good. Watch it. Its a Pure love story. Story and screenplay was Superb.

I have had a lifelong fear of hospitals and have always thought of them as giving off negative energy and a sense of dread. It is within those confines however, that director Ahammed Khabeer delivers one of the most heartwarming, feel-good stories in Malayalam this year in the simple but profound 'Madhuram'.

Weaving its story around a group of bystanders who find camaraderie in a government hospital, the director introduces us to myriad characters, each with their own joys and pain. Indrans is captivating as a retired postman, finding solace in the romance him and his ailing wife of 40 years share.

Joju George has a uncanny ability to make the audience feel and empathize with almost every expression he goes through on screen and the National Award winner revels as 'Sabu', a happy-go-lucky chef looking after his sick wife. His chemistry with Shruti Ramachandran is electric and is the best part of the movie.

Arjun Asokan picks up a brave role, a far cry from the usual characters he plays. Understated, diminutive and even submissive, 'Kevin' may frustrate you at times but his character development through the movie was a joy to watch.

Veterans Lal and Jagadeesh are both is terrific in short cameos while Navas Vallikkunnu keeps showing us he deserves full-length character roles, packing a punch with his presence in just 2-3 scenes. Jaffer Idukki continues to grow from strength to strength and is at his nuanced best as 'Kunjikka'.

The music of the movie contributes majorly in amplifying the experience and the emotions, especially the sensational 'Gaaname' , that will surely stay with you long after the movie ends. Hats off to Hesham Abdul Wahab for a fantastic new set of compositions after he enthralled us with 'Darshana'.

This does not mean the movie didn't have its downsides. Nikhila Vimal was given precious little screen time and dialogues to work with and her character comes across as one dimensional. Fahim Samar was inept as 'Thaju' and one cant help but think a better actor could have made that role more impactful and endearing.

Ultimately Madhuram' is a simple, heartwarming tale of coming to terms with what life throws at you, no matter how dire or seemingly unsurmountable the challenges may be. This, along with the delightful #Home (2021) is what feel-good movies should aspire to be rather than the preachy, melodramatic, template messes makers like Jis Joy keep putting out.

Madhuram ( Sweet ) a family emotional drama movie directed & written by Ahameed Khabeer starring Joju George, Arjun Ashok, Indrans, Nikhila Vimal & Shruti Ramchandran in lead roles.

Movie released on Sony Liv app on 24th December 2021....

This movie doesn't need a verdict, as it will be all time memorable and feel good movie...One of the place where we refuse to go is "HOSPITAL". Y??? The ambience itself will makes us low and fall sick even if we are not. So just imagine of the life of the patients and their by standers who stays in the hospital for weeks, months, sometimes even years. Had we ever thought of their feelings??, their trauma they are passing through?? This movie shows that all...

A story based on true incident of those people who had passed through this trauma when spending their part of their life. It also shows when our own people will show the true colors when its required, the unintentional or else we can say the accidental bonding with other bystanders gives us a mental strength and support by which we could over come the pain of "DETACHMENT" from our loved one who in the ICU expects a day when he/she gets to see the beautiful world again....

No one is superior in this movie when it comes to performance, all of them had done a wonderful performance. Such kind of movies will always be encouraged so that the thought that we kept of our approach towards life will definitely chance & start to accept the things in a more practical way...

Songs, BGM was good and it was having that emotional touch...

As the tile suggest, MADHURAM ( SWEET), life is not only the happy moments, but if a difficulty / pain arises how to convert that period into sweetness had been portrayed...

A family loving movie of ALL TIME....
