Palthu Janwar

Seriously i saw this movie just because of 8.8 rating but this is not true nothing special in this movie get bored in first half i thought second half will be better than first half but it was useless

The film starts off well, and then collapses miserably in the second half. The premise, the people, their problems really helped make the first half more convincing. The second half was more of a stretched version to prove the mettle of the protagonist, to give the character much needed high, and that leads to a bigger issue of characterisation.

The protagonist is weak in every aspects, the initial graph builds up very well and then it strays and leads us to a place where I was wondering what was this movie all about. I felt the protagonist did not led me to any particular emotion where I can connect, everything looked superficial, even his qualms, his humiliation, his sudden spark of anger, all of these came out very casual without any empathy element, probably that could lead us to another aspect, the treatment.

On a normal day, we wouldn't care much about a movie focused on animals; however, Palthu Janwar conquered our hearts and drastically changed our perception 😃

-Lots of odd humor that came especially from Indrans. His awkward gestures and lines were ridiculously hilarious!

Dileesh Pothan and Shammi Thilakan also nailed it!

-The photography and color grading were simply top-notch; great accents on the amazing countryside.

-It was significant to have a view of Molly's baby inside the womb as it accentuated the message that "animal life is also life"

-The director was intentional in displaying the amount of care and attention the residents showed to their animals.

When people wouldn't generally care about a sick animal, we saw a group of individuals coming together to help in every way possible

-Palthu Janwar brought a rather different perspective when it came to work in non-passionate fields, it taught us to adjust to circumstances we have no control over

-Another spectacular element was the design of the lead actress (Sruthy Suresh) which diverted from the norm

It's so redundant to always see a lead actor with a crush by his side. Palthu Janwar took on a more gentle and natural approach

-That kids fashion show in the end credits was 🙌🏾

I think 8.5 rating is only you see first half after that you get confused as to what is even happening.

This movie deserves 10 STARS for FIRST HALF, ZERO STARS for SECOND HALF.

So ten minus five = five star rating in total.

Please stop watching after first half, especially when the pregnant cow scene starts.

You can thank me later, because you will feel deceived at the climax of this movie.

Why did I waste so much of time for this?

The first half has really touched all the subtle nuances of film making. The situations, the circumstances and ground reality of rural health sector in India.

There is this new veterinary guy adjusting to a new rural kind of atmosphere, the work place conflicts, the inexperience, the distaste for his own work, the frustration of his expectations.

I mean the first half is a masterpiece, so much so I was about to recommend it to my friends but alas, then in the second half the scenes decelerate from 100kmph speed to a grinding halt.

Some might like one emotional bubble gum being chewed over again and again as a cow or buffalo does, even after the flavour is gone.

That is the best summary for second half.

But when you have tasted the flavours of the bubble gum in the first half you will certainly feel that the movie has come to a stop in the second half.

So overall till pregnant cow scene, this movie is a masterpiece. After that kindly switch off. Else you will regret. Thank me later.

I love slow movies, I love original simple movies, I love low budget cute little gems from Malayalam. But this movie wasn't one of them. There is this guy who is pushed to do a job that he didn't wan't. Good premise and I was expecting a his nice journey which changes his perspectives and growing as a person. But none of these things happen in this movie. He goes there, few things happen and a cow delivers at the end. That's it.

I don't understand the hype of this film, or the box office success. Did I miss something or did I watch a different version on OTT !!

If you love good movies , just skip this one. Watch may be Home once again.

I think movie was short and a bit boring to be honest. Probably because I watched with family and paid close to $100. First half looked like a promising comedy. Second half mostly boring. Even the kids song at the end was boring.

When I went to watch I thought given Basil is actor there will be a lot of comedy. Surprisingly there wasn't much. Shammi Thillkan role looked pretty good and lot of comedy but his was a short role.

I liked the scenery and the village like ambience. Songs were pretty ordinary.

May be it would have made sense to watch myself before taking family. I never review but I think I lost money here. So thought of reviewing. Thanks for reading if you made it this far and sorry if I made you feel bad.
