    An entertaining road movie.

    Malayalam industry had a few road movies in the past years. We have one or two to remember and the rest to forget. Padayottam is one road movie to remember. It is funny, engaging and good twists. Biju Menon did a very good performance as Chenkal Raghu. Watch this movie with your family and have a good time.

    Funny!

    No big story, suspense, action; still interesting to watch. Watch it with low expectations, won't disappoint for sure.

    Short review

    Even though the setting of the movie was bad in the beginning,the storyline turned out to be good towards the end. There aast some difficulty in understanding the dialogues due to the dialect portrayed in the movie but still it will definitely make you laugh. Overall average

    Entertaining road comedy

    Padayottam is a very entertaining film from start to finish which surprises you here and there with its twists and turns. I loved the performances of Biju Menon, dileesh pothan, lijo jose pellisery and basil thomas. Biju Menon's Chenkeli Raghu sometimes reminds you of Shaji pappan.
