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.

The movie takes you through a ride of emotions and absorbs you into their family. Kudos to all the actors their performance was top notch. The performance given by vijayaraghavn and KPAC Leela was outstanding and i am sure they will get the Highest honours. It's been so long since I heard audience giving film. There we see the magic,the depth of his talent. He was just living. Both of them I must say. The fingers,eyes,the way they speak,walk, even the teeny tiny movements were just top notch. Plot was beautiful,climax was excellent, emotional and thoughtful, direction was outstanding. Loved the whole movie. A must watch🔥

It is a must-watch for anyone in need of an uplifting and emotionally rewarding cinematic experience.
The first time I watched the movie, after about 20 minutes I couldn't continue watching it. It felt like a rush. So many characters being introduced, so many lame jokes. The movie is shot and edited in a unique way. I'm not sure whether I like it or not. There are so many beautiful shots in this movie - like where they move the bed of the lead character, but at the same time some shots look like its from an advert.
I decided to give it a second chance because of amazing reviews from other people. The second part is where everything happens and story gets interesting. The story is very relevant in this day and age. There are still some unnecessary scenes in second half too, but much better. The make-up artist deserves a National Award or something. Even in close up scenes the makeup looked so perfect. Vijayarakhavan's and Leela's performances were commendable.

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 .
