Pachuvum Athbutha Vilakkum (2023)

A feel good light movie that leaves few moments and thoughts for audience to ponder on

Pachuvum Albuthavilakkum is a feel good movie that can be watched with family, and is very much inline or similar to Sathyan Anthikkad films. When it comes to Sathyan Anthikkad films, especially over the last decade, we know not to expect a gripping and strong storyline, but to get introduced to different characters whom we meet during different phases of their lives. This movie is no different and the son doesn't try anything new other than may be starting the story with Mumbai as backdrop and not Chennai :)

The movie has many light moments and Fahadh Fasil and the other artists have done a great job portraying the characters assigned to them. The movie takes a turn when Paachu (Fahadh) meets Ummachi (Viji Venkatesh) and from there the movie becomes predictable and a bit dragging. But Akhil has been able to keep the audience engaged by adding in elements of emotions and comedy at right pace. Few scenes from the movie can be hand-picked that really left an emotional connect and made the viewers relate to the characters. The movie also makes people think the purpose of their lives and about the unending desire to make more money. The songs are well suited for the situation and completes the movie as in numerous Sathyan Anthikkad films.

Please step in for this movie without expectations and you'll have the satisfaction of having laughed while at the same time thinking deeply about various stages and desires of life.
