Malayalee from India

Malayalee from India was a letdown. There were only a few laughable moments, and hardly any truly good ones. It felt like a rehash of familiar elements from other films. The film overdid many aspects, particularly in trying to recapture Nivin Pauly's charm, but it ultimately fell short. Despite Nivin's talent, the movie didn't do him justice. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have sat through it.

The last scene was particularly cringeworthy, epitomizing the irritating Malayali Pwoliaada concept. The film's agenda overshadowed genuine storytelling. The characters were poorly utilized: Dhyan and Anaswara's roles felt underutilised and added no value. Overall, Malayalee from India is a forgettable film that fails to entertain or enlighten, with poor execution overshadowing any understandable underlying message.

I don't know what they were trying to do with the movie. Other people in the industry are trying new concepts and styles and it felt like the writer and director are still stuck in the 6th century AD. Me as a viewer, is not interested in this topic anymore. Nivin was good. And that song felt like one of those fake photoshoots which pops up during Christmas and Onam(papanji+sanyasi+ustad). The two halves of the movie felt disconnected. My request to the writer is to try something new. Not all movies have to be about politics, people get frustrated by watching this over and over again. And I went in without watching the trailer, all the other promo videos were very misleading.

The first half was laborious! Everything is a cliche situation, rolling in one after another. There is no twist to be expected. The story basically flows like many before, and once you understand the direction, you know what to expect.

There is an attempt to establish the timeline, to take advantage of the "lockdown"! Even that seemed very contrived. Also the "aadujevitham", where they trying to make this a pun??

Finally Malala !! Oh my god, they trans navigated the globe and had nothing to say, or rather didn't say it in an interesting way.

Very few performances stand out. There was nothing in the script to do. Sad. I wasted 3hrs of my time.

The first half of the movie is filled with combination scenes between Dhyan and Nivin, along with a lot of unnecessary political content that left me frustrated. I don't get what Anaswara Rajan's role significance the movie. When it comes to the second half, the movie deal with the a malayali outside india. Try to include a lot of emotional connect between an indian and pakistani. A sentimental drama they have tried to portray in the second half eventually made the audience numb with their feelings. It's surprising that the same writer and director of "Jana-Gana-Mana" created this movie. Personally, I found myself eagerly awaiting the interval during the first half and wishing for the movie to end during the interval. I wouldn't recommend watching this in theaters, but ultimately, the choice is yours.

It's a below average movie. The jokes are far below standard. The story is weak and some scenes will make the audience think of the overall purpose the movie is built for. The bonding between characters is also questionable. First half is irritating and second half is boring.

A movie like this which is made for just fans should at least have some element of likeability of the characters. The cast done by Dhyan Sreenivasan is the biggest example (of failure) of casting done in this film. There are many songs which does not have much music element in them, just they have some keywords which supports the situation.
