Featured reviews
This is one of my favorite movies released in the 2010 plus years.
It really entertained me - both as a comedy as well as a thriller.
The theme in this movie is very relevant in the present day scenario where cyber crimes are becoming increasingly common.
This is one of those movies that I would watch whenever it comes on the TV (provided I am free).
Even though the plot is 'stupid and flawed', and the movie looks 'listless and lifeless' at various junctures in the second half, there is no denying the fact that OVS offers an entertaining one-time watch. The main credit for the same should go to the pretty good first-half, loads of 'genuinely funny dialogues' throughout the movie and the wonderful Nivin Pauly - Aju Varghese combo supported very well by a 'bearable and decent act' from Vineeth Sreenivasan :)
Nivin Pauly's entertainers are usually devoid of any noteworthy plot to talk about ; but sadly the plot and the 'serious portions' are the main villains here:)

First off, great cast. The characters were well played and are relatable. Another great story by Vineeth Sreenivasan. It is funny and it amused me throughout the movie. The older generation may not find it amusing though.
Even though the story is great the climax can only be rated mediocre. The movie gave a good message for the young generation. I loved the song "Enne Thallendammaava".
So is the movie watchable? Well, it depends. If you are a youngster. Yes!!!. If you are someone around 40 or above you won't find the movie amusing. But it's worth a shot.

i saw the movie today without much hope because some of my friends who watched the movie said it is just an average film. but according to me it is more than that. lead actors have done their roles well except the actress. she could have done a little bit more. Aju Varghese has a usual role as in other movies and he has done his part really well. Neeraj Madhav doesn't have that much of role in the movie. since Nivin Pauly is always a great entertainer we don't have to say much about him. and about Vineeth Sreenivasan who appears in the second half of the movie does a fabulous job. role done by Vijaya Raghavan is also noteworthy . so overall Oru Vadakkan Selfie is a good entertaining movie specially characterized by the acting of all the actors. if you need to relax and have some fun and laugh you must go and watch this movie. but remember you can not compare this movie with Thattathin Marayathu (done by almost the same crew) which was a mass hit . so do not expect much. just watch and enjoy.
Easy going movie with malayalee humor at best. Story talks so much about how little things can become a big deal and how big deal can transform people. The way experience teaches nothing else does. Pretty realistic movie.
Did you know
- TriviaIt collected 5.20cr from Kerala in 7days
- GoofsUmesh would not have been able to check his exam result online if the power was down, because even though the laptop runs on battery, the Internet router (assuming) needs continuous power supply. Plus, his mother also confirms about the absence of an Internet connection in their house earlier in the film.
