Had a good message but felt clumsy at places
The camera, cinematography, acting and all were good. The message is something like food for thought. But the bad part is it the movie felt awkward at many places.
Don't know if it is the editing or the script which is the problem. It didn't feel like it was flowing naturally. I mean, think of some old movies of Sathyan Anthikkad. There won't be much in terms of serious events happening in the movie. But the movie flows naturally. The scenes don't feel out of place. Manasinakkare is an example.
Madhuram tries to be a movie like that in structure. But it fails at many places. Some scenes and the mood it creates felt out of place. But it felt quite good in other scenes, especially the flashback of Joju.
The music was average, with only one song being good.
The casting was good except for Jagadeesh. He doesn't look like a new gen father at all. Maybe graying his hair would've made it more believable.
In the hands of a more experience director, this movie would have looked much better.
