Pavi Caretaker

Director tried to bring the vintage Dileep back but literally failed. Mostly cliche scenes and nothing different. More over nowadays people dont like Dileep movies. In my town where usually movies get filled soon during weekend but to my surprise i see no tickets are booked till now..Dileep must try something different in future like negative role , uncle , father or elder brother like that.

Other factor it resembles most of his old hit movis like Body guard , Parakkum Thalika ,vettom etc. If this movie was released during 90's would have been a hit. But not in 2024 for sure. Better luck next time with some senior character role..

As an ardent Dileep fan who has enjoyed the brunt of Dileep movies, Pavi Caretaker was a huge disappointment. Sure, the glances of the old Dileep are seen here and there, but the attempt to revive his old self or "vintage" has backfired terribly. What Dileep needs is a good script and the execution of it rather than a revival which is pointless.

The movie fails to hit the spot with its tasteless display of slapstick comedy which faded away from the trend a long time ago. Old Dileep movies had the abundant presence of physical comedy which was provenly quite hilarious during that time. But, experimenting something like that in front of an updated and anxious audience is futile.

It is not like a Dileep movie to not make me laugh in the slightest as this movie exactly did. Although in a few emotional scenes Dileep did prove that he has still got it in him. Which is why he should focus more on script selection.

Anyway, Pavi Caretaker turned out to be nothing but a reality check that I might have wait a little longer to see a Dileep blockbuster. And I hope that do happens soon.

This film was ok, performances over the top, Dileep and director trying to recreate slapstick and cliched physical comedy of 2000s ( homages or scenes reminiscing of CID Moosa, Parakkumthalika, Vettam etc. Put in)

But the story and character development was given less priority in going for the comedy!

Also screenplay is hit and miss and supporting acting was below average.

The movie is not as bad the rating I gave, movie is watchable when it is comes on TV - can watch on a lazy afternoon - when you don't want logic, but just entertainment. But Malayalam movies and audience deserve better ! The story and premise had potential and a better more serious treatment! Ity

The leads character got messed up trying to inject comedy - because Pavi in comedy scenes and in other scenes are totally different - it's like he is suffering multiple personal disorder.

Surrounded by hate and a negative image, Dileep is trying hard to make his comeback. I watch movies for their content, and I do not let actors' personal lives cloud my judgment when it comes to watching a film. Given the chance, I approached this one with an open mind.

The story revolves around the mundane life of a caretaker in a posh residential building, which takes a turn when he forms a special bond.

The narrative is entirely focused on Pavithran, played by Dileep. If this story had been released in the '90s, there's no doubt it would have been a box office success. However, today, both the plot and execution feel outdated. The screenplay is weak and is stretched to such an extent that it tests your patience. I would be surprised if you don't find yourself pressing the fast forward button to get through the movie.

Dileep has returned to his usual element. He is a brilliant actor-there's no second thought about it-and I enjoyed his antics throughout my childhood. But now, seeing him engage in buffoonery feels cringe-worthy, to say the least. He really needs to contemplate his choices of films, both in terms of acting and producing, if he genuinely wants to achieve success. Additionally, a series of new actresses join the cast, each with limited screen time, and they all perform well in their roles. Johny Antony and Raadhika Sarathkumar are decent in theirs.

The comedy sequences work in parts and could be enjoyed as isolated reels, but as part of the narrative, they falter. The songs are merely bad, adding only length to the film. The scenes with the dogs are heartwarming and resonate with the audience. However, the movie ultimately fails to connect with viewers and does not entertain.

Reiterating the point, the world has moved on, and it's high time Dileep does too. His old techniques won't suffice anymore, and the chances of failing, as seen in this film, are at an all-time high. Watch a few comedy sequences by fast-forwarding; otherwise, just ignore it.

I didn't enjoy this movie, and the extended runtime felt completely unnecessary. I expected a comeback from Dileep but that didn't end up well.

The story was also not convincing at all and somewhere the screenplay was a bit sloppy. You usually expect a good family-friendly movie when Dileep is in it, but this one just didn't have that feel.

Everyone has performed well in the movie and Dileep also did a great job. I think he should do more serious roles like he did in Ramaleela. He's an actor with a lot of talent, so naturally, we expect much more from him. Hopefully next time he won't dissapoint us, fingers crossed.
