Thinkalazhcha Nishchayam

Senna Hegde's Thinkalazhcha Nishchayam is an almost satisfying satire. He manages to bring novelty to a story that's been told several times. The movie trips and falls sometimes. But those can be overlooked considering the overall writing. Almost all of the cast are debutants and most of them delivers. Especially the ones who played Suja, Surabhi, the father and Surabhi's husband. I enjoyed one song( after the ring exchange), but the rest of them were less appealing to me.

Overall, the movie's fun to watch although it's a bit overpraised.

Thinkalazhcha Nishchayam is a good satirical take on the patriarchal system through the lens of an arranged marriage. The character development is so good that you feel for each and every character although all their objectives are drastically different. The film veers towards drama, but the director expertly uses comedy to once again get you back into a light watching experience. A lot of scenes evoke surprise and brings new cast or a different method of storytelling, but it all flows and works. A commendable attempt and a fun watch.

What a great film. Kudos to director in bringing out the best from a fresh actors and crew. The story and screenplay are perfect and tightly drafted which I believe made this movie enjoyable. As a person from Kannur, the dialect felt close to home and is a actual representation of this region.

All actors portrayed their characters brilliantly esp. The actor who played Kuwait Vijayan especially the fit of rage scene near the climax was brilliant in this comedy movie. Hoping to see a lot of great movies from Senna Hedge. Remember the name.

Once someone started to watch it they never stop until it finished. It is a complete entertainment movie, based on the things happening around us in a family. We are familiar with all the characters from the film and easy to figure out them in our family, neighbors, or friends.

Thinkalazhcha Nishchayam (Engagement is On Monday) starts, fires some truth bombs through a comical setting with an upcoming wedding ceremony as the backdrop, and ends. To make such a wholesome satire requires brilliant writing, and that is where the film shines. Each and every dialogue uttered by each and every character is worth pondering upon. And it's not like the characters are in the side line. You relate with each one of them like they are your own relatives back in Kerala. While many of these dialogues will give you a chuckle, it's those towards the end that make the message clear. Add tour de force of performances by a fresh cast and you have the laugh riot and social film of the year. Watch it.
