Palthu Janwar

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.

Yes, the treatment worked for me to a large extent, the realistic approach. The treatment somehow loses its grip to convey the noble thought visually owing to poor characterisation and probably lack of some interesting plot points, especially in the second half.

Performance wise, nothing much to brag about except this should be Shammi's film, he gave a fab performance, the moment his character went offscreen, I felt the film took the downhill.

This could have been a far better & impactful short film.

The movie is kinda fell good type...small story..small village... It's about prasoon played by basil Joseph who is kinda animator turned livestock inspector. He is not fond of this job and at end ..as you have guessed he slowly begins to feel attachment to "paltu janwars" Basil Joseph does a good job in portraying the depressed prasoon. The characters played by indrans , shammi thilakan makes the first half interesting. The way prasoon tries to adjust with the rural people and embarrassing moments with his elder sister (unnimaya Prasad) is so good and so real..

Yes, the first half is interesting. But towards the end ,it's disappointing. The ending seems rushed and i think the ending sucks... So I gave 7 stars... I want to appreciate the use of animals in the movie..ah.yes the name itself is paltu janwars. Animal lovers ,look closely you could find hidden animals in various scenes. And the song at end is such a masterpiece.

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.

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

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 🙌🏾
