Mohanlal tends to do a masala action movie and a family movies back to back to balance his act. I think this was done as a balancing act for "Pulimurugan", which was an action movie. I took ticket for watching Pulimurugan, but I was told they are showing the new "Munthirivallikal Thalirkkumbol" instead. I was amazed because on newspaper and poster outside it was shown Pulimurugan (Priyatama Theater, Palakkad).I had a choice to return the ticket but I chose to watch it anyway.
What was Good : 1) Background score was very good. 2) Mohanlal & other actors were good. 3) Camera work is good.
What is Bad : 1) Everything Else.
"Munthirivallikal Thalirkkumbol" is a unbelievable plot less movie. Illogical events happen, which has no connection with each other. Songs have no connection with the story. In one scene Mohan Lal tells his family "Lets go to Shimla", there you go a song in Shimla. In another scene he tells his family "Lets go to Kuttanad", another song. It is ridiculous. Director, Story writer and Screenplay writer are the main culprits. There are scenes which are so unbelievable, it insults the intelligence of the audience. Mohanlal always gets what he wants. Things that never happens in any families happen here. There are more than one dream sequences which clearly shows how poor the screenplay writer is. All in all this is a poor movie without a major plot or climax and the events transcends logic in this unbelievable place it is set in. The wonderful actors who tried there best to pull out this film well, don't deserved this movie. It is a family movie for brainless families who have never seen good movies in there lives and are satisfied with an average happy ending movie.
