    Gharbhinikalude Zachariya ♦ 60%

    The feel-good movie actually borrows elements from various sources and tweaks it into a single package, which entertains just above average.

    Talking about the story, it is just writers' tactic of claiming it is coincidence that all those pregnant women come to Lal who as Zachariya, the gynecologist is good enough. I couldn't digest that, but talking individually about the stories: they are clichéd, but hell, they make a point (naturally) and beautifully. Saying "every girl should watch it" is just a hyped-up marketing technique; men need to have a closer look. With the high relevance level of the trimesters involved in pregnancy & all those direct & indirect aspects that occur during it, ZG is laudable.

    Humor is very good, so are the songs & music. Cast performance is terrific and the way the women in here pull their characters off looks very natural. Story-telling is different, but many elements did seem made-up, not that I am accusing the makers of plagiarism. The climax is just the very hint that Malayalam cinema is taking experiment... very well!

    BOTTOM LINE: Recommended! It's a nice one-time watch for a family/group. The jokes & emotions & drama will stir you enough. 6/10!

    Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES

    Profanity/Sex/Drugs: No | Vulgarity: Mild | Violence/Gore/Alcohol: No | Smoking: Mediocre
