    PR wont help you Dileep, just exit

    I don't know where to start. Utter disappointment with a complete waste of money. Dileep's PR can pull all the stupid stunts on social media, but this guy needs to understand that it's over. Doing more movies is just going to hurt his own legacy. His new tactic of playing the victim is not going to work because he is a cold-hearted monster, and the Malayali audience is not going to forgive him ever. Please stop making movies. Go produce some if you really want the glam and glitz, but honestly, Dileep needs to stop appearing in front of the camera and making a fool out of himself. Mentioning Bhavana and Manju's names is not going to make you look innocent, dude; you are DONE. ACCEPT IT AND MOVE ON.

    I enjoyed the movie

    Pavi Caretaker stays true to the classic Dileep formula, blending humor and simplicity in a way that feels both nostalgic and refreshing. While the film doesn't push any new boundaries, it offers a pleasant change from the flood of low-quality OTT content that has become all too common. The plot is straightforward, but the humor and lighthearted moments are well-executed, keeping you entertained throughout.

    Dileep's performance is consistent with his earlier roles. Despite the controversies surrounding him, Pavi Caretaker stands on its own as a fun and engaging film. It doesn't aim to reinvent the wheel but succeeds in delivering a solid and enjoyable viewing experience. If you're looking for a straightforward, feel-good film, this one fits the bill.

    Missing the old Dileep

    I didn't enjoy this movie, and the extended runtime felt completely unnecessary. I expected a comeback from Dileep but that didn't end up well.

    The story was also not convincing at all and somewhere the screenplay was a bit sloppy. You usually expect a good family-friendly movie when Dileep is in it, but this one just didn't have that feel.

    Everyone has performed well in the movie and Dileep also did a great job. I think he should do more serious roles like he did in Ramaleela. He's an actor with a lot of talent, so naturally, we expect much more from him. Hopefully next time he won't dissapoint us, fingers crossed.

    Just another extension of Dileep and paltry scripts

    As an ardent Dileep fan who has enjoyed the brunt of Dileep movies, Pavi Caretaker was a huge disappointment. Sure, the glances of the old Dileep are seen here and there, but the attempt to revive his old self or "vintage" has backfired terribly. What Dileep needs is a good script and the execution of it rather than a revival which is pointless.

    The movie fails to hit the spot with its tasteless display of slapstick comedy which faded away from the trend a long time ago. Old Dileep movies had the abundant presence of physical comedy which was provenly quite hilarious during that time. But, experimenting something like that in front of an updated and anxious audience is futile.

    It is not like a Dileep movie to not make me laugh in the slightest as this movie exactly did. Although in a few emotional scenes Dileep did prove that he has still got it in him. Which is why he should focus more on script selection.

    Anyway, Pavi Caretaker turned out to be nothing but a reality check that I might have wait a little longer to see a Dileep blockbuster. And I hope that do happens soon.

    A typical dileep chali movie

    This is a typical dileep chali movie which usually doesn't have a quality comedy or content .

    Other reviews seems to be paid PR work as it's nearly impossible to watch this cringy lazy creation.

    The acting is mediocre with very weak script and cringe dialogues.

    Dileep is a very outdated actor and it's obvious that he wouldn't be able to pull off a good movie by himself nowadays. It's better thst he should be doing some ammavan type roles since his aged face suits only that nowadays.

    The theatre was half empty to begin with and many of the people went outside in the middle of the movie that alone tells the quality of this movie .
