Dileep and Bhavana in Marykkundoru Kunjaadu (2010)

There are better rural comedies than this one ....

It is an Okay film which manages to hold the viewer&#39;s interest in some parts and loses steam in the others. Dileep as usual is good with the comedy, Bhavana is there just for the sake of it, Jagathy and Innocent do not have major contributions. The character which stands out in the film is Biju Menon&#39;s. It has to be mentioned that the shooting locales are excellent and the camera work manages to showcase the beauty in and around the Thodupuzha region. Watch it without much expectations and you might like the overall comedy and a somewhat unique script.

Marykkundoru Kunjaadu

I enjoyed bits of Marykkundoru Kunjaadu. The first half was great slapstick fun. The one liners and the over the top machinations between Dileep, Salim Kumar and Biju Menon kept the movie going. The locales were beautiful, especially Dileep&#39;s house. But there are better rural Malayalam comedies than this one like Ponmutta Idunna Tharavu and Mrugaya. They perfectly portrayed the follies of Malayali villagers who are driven by their narrow mindedness and superstitions. Compared to the classics of the 80s and 90s, the characters in Marykkundoru Kunjaadu came across as quite crass. The film itself was very crude - especially the second half. Dileep turns in a great comedic performance as a cowardly man who is desperately trying to marry his childhood sweetheart. Biju Menon as the gluttonous tough guy is a perfect foil for Dileep. I felt really sad that Jagathi Sreekumar is not acting in Malayalam movies anymore. He performs the role of the honest priest with such ease. It is shame that a great actor like him had his career cut short especially when he was at the peak of his powers.
