    A laugh riot!

    This is a Malayalam comedy film starring Dileep, Thilakan and Sulekha.

    The film is a laugh riot thanks to Dileep's performance. Dileep in the late 90s and early 2000s really was the underrated star who would make films a success with his comic timing, like Govinda in Hindi films throughout the 90s. This film was one such and I would say well worth a watch. Even if you watch more than once you won't be bored. I watched it first when travelling in a bus and was glued!

    The premise itself is hilarious: a boy in his 20s is still unable to clear his 10th grade, and ends up getting married in a confused circumstance, much to the chagrin of his family. Things turn worse when the wife also gets pregnant.

    Through all the funny moments, the film has a nice message for the youth. Some of the dialogues and songs are still popular.

    One call out for the actress Sulekha: she's very beautiful in the film and performs very well. Surprised that her career only lasted 3 films!

    Underrated Movie

    An underrated movie. Beautiful Story which may not be logical. But it can be possible. There is nothing unnatural in the story. But excellent screenplay, acting and direction. Whenever, I get opportunity I see this movie and i am loving it.

    I liked this movie because of timings in the script, acting by all major actors. Usually low budget movie will have average actress. But she looks pretty and OK acting. Score is also good. I like the way the Thilakan, Jagathy Sreekumar and not the least Dileep. "Mutthappa" ... what a comedy. Genuineness of the actors is also added advantage.

    Anyway you need to watch it once.
