Jomon's Gospels

The long awaited Sathyan Anthikad film not only manages to hit the box office with a loud thunder but also manages to capture the hearts of the audience. Unlike those fantastically built comedy movies, this one manages to bring a smile on our faces. The story line is build around Jomon (DQ) who is a lazy but interesting character. DQ played the role amazingly well. His smile is always soothing to watch. The story is pretty decent with two well placed songs and two different actress which i feel suited the story line of the movie. Mukesh (father) played a very decent role with this brilliant acting skills as usual. The movie focused more on the story rather than the entertaining part with is sort of a drawback but yet it's a success. Pretty expectant for a Sathyan Anthikad film and an unusual approach by DQ to this role. In short, Every actor and crew did a wonderful job. So glad i watched this movie. Some scenes in this movie will touch your heart while some will just make you smile. The title seems more like a working title as it is completely misplaced from the expecting story line.

On my watch list dalquer is a joy to look at mallu u don't look too. 👀👀🙄😁

What I like about Sathyan Anthikad directed movies is that you're guaranteed clean entertainment. Jomonte Suvisheshangal is another feel good, family movie from his stable but I miss the touch he'd during the 1990s. Maybe his writers has changed over the years, I'm not sure what has happened but his movies these days miss the charm and spontaneity of his older works from the 90's era. Also, this movie seem quite inspired by last year's release Jacobinte Swargarajyam which has a similar theme.

Ultimately I think what saves this movie from being an average flick is the humor especially from actors like Innocent. The performances from the cast are good. Dulquer Salmaan as the lead does very well(dance, comedy, emotions) but this man is capable of much more. He's ably supported by Mukesh as his father. Aishwarya Rajesh as the leading lady is very good. Anupama Parameshwaran makes a nice impact in a shorter role as Dulquer's love in the initial scenes. Jacob Gregory as Dulquer's business partner provides good comic relief like Innocent in the movie.

The songs are also pleasant to hear.

The final scene has a big influence on your overall opinion of the movie and in this movie, it fell short of my expectation. It ends on a positive note but it felt ordinary and predictable.

To sum up, I can say this movie is somewhere between excellence and mediocre. Although I frankly expected more from a Sathyan Anthikad direction, it has many touching & funny moments and like I said earlier, if what you seek is clean family entertainment, go for it.

Jomonte Suvisheshangal is just a scaled down version of Jacobinte Swargarajayam. If you have already seen Jacob this movie will be a let down for you other than for the few comedy scenes. The only reason to watch this movie is because it is a completely painless family entertainer with decent jokes. There are definitely many sathyan anthikkad elements add to the movie which makes us more disappointed because it reminds us movie like nadodikattu and ghandinagar 2nd street. DQ is that same young handsome romantic youth that we repeatedly see him as. Mukesh is definitely excels when it comes to act as he always has. Anupama does not really have anything much to do. This is nothing more than an entertaining 2 and half hours.

Jomonte Suviseshangal (2017): Dulquer Salman is one of the most charming actors of Indian Cinema.Despite of his filmography confined to only Malayalam and Tamil,he got good following in Telugu too.After OK Kanmani and Bangalore Days,I have became a huge fan of him and started watching all his movies.Jomonte Suviseshangal is his first film in 2017 and as usually I had huge expectations on this film.So how is it?

Plot: Vincent (Mukesh) is a wealthy businessman in Thrissur. He has various investments but his primary business is real estate. He has four children, including Jomon (Dulquer). Everyone in the family is money-minded except for Jomon who is a misfit. Being the son of a wealthy businessman, Jomon has no worries about his future and lives life on his terms. Due to a bad business decision, Vincent loses all his wealth and house. While all his other children and close relatives make it clear that they want no part in his struggle, Jomon steps in and takes his father under his wing.So how did both the father and son struggle and retain their gone status forms the rest of the story..

Plus Points:

1)Performances: Once again Dulquer gave his charming performance with perfection.His look,his dialogue delivery and especially his smile are so delightful.Mukesh has given brilliant performance as father.Their father-son relationship is the major plus point of the movie.

2)Second half: After a poor first half,second half came as a relief.Even though it is predictable,it manages to garner our attention with delightful performances and scenes.

Minus Points:

1)Outdated Plot: This movie has the most outdated plot I had ever seen in Dulquer's career.This movie has the almost same plot ad Gowtham SSC,with changes in second half.

2)First half: Except one or two scenes,entire first half fails to engage us.Predictable narration and beaten to death love track between Dulquer and Anupama is so boring.

3)Duration: This movie has lengthy duration of 2hr 35 min and especially first half irritates us.

So,Jomonte Suviseshangal makes a one time watch only because of Dulquer and Mukesh.

My rating 6.25/10
