Pattabhiraman

This movie should watch everyone . this movie not reveal you the types of fake food materials or chemicals . This gives you the idea of what they can do to the public when you raise a question against those foods .

One of a most boring movie. Wasted the acting of Jayaram by the maker. Irrelevant story, derived from another movie Velaikkaran. But lot of facts are missing in this movie. Easily predictable screenplay is another drawback of this feature film.

A surprise serving of novelty from the Thamarakkulam-Jayaram combo after years, Pattabhiraman (English: given Tamil-origin name) touches upon the important topic of food security in restaurants and food factories and uses a delectable container (of a scrupulous health inspector with an aspiration to crack down on all illegal food joints) to make its point but then in the final 40 minutes takes such a virulent turn it goes back to the slipshod territory that everyone one in Malayalam cinema has said goodbye to long back except Kannan Thamarakkulam and Jayaram. Brownie points for pairing Jayaram with an age-appropriate actress like Sheel Abraham. TN.

"Pattabiraman " Malayalam movie

'Iyer the great' is the tag line of this work. Good at heart, efficient, non-corrupt, workaholic heath inspector getting posted in the capital city, to clean up the murk in the food industry and system... is the one line story. Jayaram different from his style, is shown as more mature and responsible. Comical interludes are taken care by Dharman and Hareesh. Food materials sold with poisonous substitutes and admixtures, causing problems in personal and social life of the human beings.. is explained well, holding a social message through the movie. First half is purely food based, second half turns into a crime-murder-food mafia thriller. Very predictable, still enjoyable.

6.5 on 10 for a presentation with a social message.

'One person's food can be another person's poison' is the dictum, where the mafia poison your food, for their luxurious lifestyles... You eat that toxin to waste the life. Even top brands in the market is not spared in this movie.

Needed more punch, from the regular sentiments, to drive in the social message.
