Nagendran's Honeymoons

I'd watch it just to see the old Kerala setting. They've done a beautiful job with the sets. I don't get the low ratings (maybe it's too early), but it's a must watch.

I hope we get more such quality series in Malayalam as the format allows for slow story-telling.

The casting is exceptional as well. They've assembled some of the most loved actors in Malayalam movie industry and it shows in the quality of acting.

Each episode has its own thread and suspenses which makes the whole thing binge-worthy. We started the show without much background about it, or even watching the trailer, but so glad we did.

The series was much better compared to the some of the recently released 'feel good' movies. It is a simple story that revolves mostly around two characters played by Suraj and Prashant. The episodes are paced very slow and relaxed but you wont feel bored. There are some stretches where there are no dialogues. The sets were stunning and the cinematography was excellent. They did a good job making everything look convincing, given how difficult it is to capture a story set years ago. I watched the movie with my parents and they also thoroughly enjoyed it. Everyone who was part of the movie including senior actors like Janardharan played their character really well. I was really happy to see him in a movie again. This is NOT a comedy series, it's a slow paced series that you can sit back, relax and makes you feel nostalgic.

Nagendran's Honeymoons - One life 5 wives

A subtle drama moving on a humourous track with deep nuances and human emotions.

The movie revolves around the life of Nagendran,a carefree guy who lives at the mercy of his aged mother who has no regards for him, trying to find a way to escape from his village with the help of his childhood friend,Varkey for a better livelihood.

Soman, Nagendran's buddy convinces him with a dubious idea to fund for his journey to Persia and the trouble they both faces together forms the crux of the story.

Nithin has conceived the story in 6 episodes and the way he carries each fragment of the story forward is intense and keeps the audience hooked into the story.

Brilliant recital of the character by Suraj with varied emotions in each segments. Prashant Alex's full length performance alongside Suraj was impressive. Excellent performances by the female leads especially Grace Antony with her hilarious actions,poignant act by Kani Kusruthi & Shwetha Menon.

The story formation is predictive but Nithin has managed to bring variations through each characters and background set in each episodes. The colour grading especially in the night visuals is repugnant to the structure of the movie. Great move by Nithin to keep this light hearted story to OTT for a wider reach.

A simple light hearted hilarious entertainer for a weekend watch.

Rating - 3.25/5.

The series set in 70s provide the same flawed narrative style of formula movies. The script has nothing new to offer and narrative has no novelty left. Cinematography and art direction was the only saving grace capturing essence of period time. The cast in paper was solid, but in screen they didn't have much to offer than to play with blant narrative. Among actors Kanni, Grace, Alex and Suraj did a commendable role.

The plot had a definite scope to turn into comedy, thrilling entertainer fell flat with overflowing clichés. The music also at times was very irritating and at times comical not in a good sense. It was more like bad imitation of Johnson Mash's music.

And I am glad I am one the audience who enjoyed every episode!

As an overseas viewer this is One of the best TV series that I watched in recent times.. Loved every episode.. Grace Antony acting is too Good.. Suraj acting is phenomenal!

Rating does not reflect the quality.. Audio direction and background score give you a throw back to classic 1990 movies.. Although there are some flaws, it's easily forgiving..

A different story and original..

This story if not accepted by home demography it will be easily accepted by rest of the audience who enjoy quality storyline..

Can't wait for Season 2.
