I was surprised when I heard that its Anjali Menon's debut film. It was a great professional work, the script and the direction. hats off. The film made everyone in the theater sit an watch it in a sync. All laughed together, smiled together, clapped together and even the tears were shed together.
A great work indeed from the director, the cast and the whole team. We expect more such movies in Malayalam.
A must watch!
Taking us back to tour childhood memories...
Getting Serious With The Trite! β¦ 50%
It is poignant in its style & narration. Its cast is one of the best I have seen. Their performances are good, too. The children steal the show, for sure but I am impressed by Urvashi & Rahman. Prithviraj is invisible. It was a treat to watch Murali (I actually saw the movie after his death) & Thilakan.
But, since the base is fully borrowed, it creates no dent in the universe. Children not caring about their folks & solely coveting the property inheritance is so ordinary. While, it emotionally touches the viewer, the real emotion is that of being dejected & fooled. By the end you realize that the primary & secondary plots are very commonplace & the makers haven't done anything except for the locations & cinematography. Humor is average.
BOTTOM LINE: I am disappointed. Nothing new!
Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES
Profanity/Nudity/Sex: No | Violence/Gore: No | Smoking/Alcohol: Mild

- Quotes
Vicky Sr.: Children fancy gathering the pretty lucky red seeds alone. Imperfect and dirt-smeared seeds are left behind. But, those are, in fact, the blessed ones. They sleep untouched, on lap of the earth, transforming with new roots into trees that bestow beautiful and innumerable lucky red seeds.
