Pookkalam is a movie that is all about the intricate relationships and bonds within a family. It has very beautifully portrayed old age love,through the role of Ittoop and Ichaama played by Vijayaraghavan and KPAC Leela. The make up Ronex Xavier demands special recognition,without which the characters wouldn't have been this authentic. The DOP by Anand C Chandran is immaculate and Midhun Murali's editing is seamless. The other major characters are played by Vineeth Sreenivasan,Basil Joseph and Johny antony. They have performed such hilarious performances. It was really nice to see Abu Salim in such a different character. The role of his wife,done by Ganga meera was also nice. Annu antony and Arun Kumar extended vibrancy and energy to their characters. All the newcomers did a commendable job. Jagadeesh also acted in a very notable role. The music by Sachin Warrier is another highlight of the movie. The colour grading by Bilal Rashid is on point ,I need to say! The visuals perfectly encapsulated the emotions of the movie. All in all brilliant execution by Ganesh Raj,the writer come director. Congratulation to Vinod shornur and Thomas thiruvalla for producing such a sweet movie. Rafi Kannadiparba needs to be appreciated for his brilliant costume sense,all the colour's selected were so soothing to eyes. The lyrics by Kaithapram and rafeeq Ahmed conveyed a lot. Cheers to entire team .
I am sharing my experience.
I saw a youtube short video, which Actor vijayaraghavan dubbing clip...It was really touching
Coming to film; Casting was exceptional. Especially Vijayaraghavan,KAPSC Leela. Both deserve award for their acting... Simple story,but have a strong ground for family feelings.. Hatsoff to director. Had great stuff. He really deserves a big salute, in certain emotional scenes, he really controlled the actors not to go beyond the expression.
Both Vijayaraghavan & Leela, their body language (as old age people) was awsome in all scenes.
I think there was one song in this film.....but we didn't find that song anywhere
Actually its a very good film.....highly recommended for all film lovers.

Pookkaalam is a heartwarming film directed by Ganesh Raj. It revolves around Ittoop, a nonagenarian man portrayed by Vijayaraghavan, who discovers that his entire life has been built on lies. This revelation deeply affects his relationship with his wife, Kochuthresia, played by KPAC Leela. The movie takes place during a betrothal function, creating a lively atmosphere with amusing interactions and joyful chaos.
The cast includes notable actors such as Basil Joseph, Vineeth Sreenivasan, Arun Kurian, and Annu Antony, who add depth to the story. Pookkaalam explores themes of family, secrets, and the impact of past events on relationships. It beautifully balances serious and comedic elements, making it a heartfelt and enjoyable family entertainer.

Feel good factor movie. Award winning performances by Vijayaraghavan, KPAC Leela. Super performance by Basil and Vineeth.
Ganesh Raj made life a celebration movie, though serious life realities are handled wonderfully. Laughed a lot with so many humerous situations and sat glued until the end with turn of events which are knitted well.
Humer, excitement, suspense, realities and handling such a story of 90+ is not common in infian cinemas. But Ganesh gave full justice to the story line, ditection and beautiful photography. One of the rare such movies ever watched.
Hats off to the Team Pookkalam!
