Review-ilecku kadakkunnadhinu munne pala kapada bujikalodum oru vaakku. Mayamohini-yile double meaning comedy arojakam aayirunna ningalkku randu charmathinidayil moodhaamadhoru charmam ennulla comedy chilappol classy ayirickaam, pakshe oru saadhaarana prekshakan aaya enicku ee charmam comedy Mohini comedy-yekaal tharam thaazhnadhaayaanu thonniyadhu.
Okay. I have set the context for the review. It is really saddening to see Renjith going down to the level of Sibi - Udaya team to evoke laughter and claps from viewers. Laughters and claps evoked with double meaning dialogues but set in a high class set up. Ranjith-inodu oru vaaku, prameyathinte karuthu kondum allenkil adhile kadhaapaathrangalude karuthu kondum aanu ningalude padangale class ennu visheppickunnadhu. Allaadhe tharam thaana dialogues and situations oru high class society-yude backdrop-il parayunnadhu kondalla.
All in all it is a highly disappointing film from Renjith. A film which he has written just for the sake of doing a film with Lal - That is what I felt. The character mannerisms and behaviors are created such that it can be performed by Lal well. That is all.
On contrary to most reviews I felt 1st half as horrible but 2nd half as watchable. Ente kuzhappam kondaayirickaam. Oru interval okke kazhiyumbol vellam adi ishtappedunna aalukalkku polum madyam kandu madukkum. Engottu thirinjaalum aanum pennum okke vellamadi. Pinne Kaniha nadathunna party-kalil Wine glass-um pidichu thoonu pole kure pennungale chumma niruthiyittondu. High Class film aayadhu kondu avarkku dance kalickaan pattathillalo, adhu kondu verudhe niruthy.
Spirit TV Show okke valichu neeti nammude kshama nallonam pareekshickunnondu. Sentiments pala sthalangalilum work out aakaathadhaanu ee padathinu sambhavicha mattoru paalicha. Sidharth scene in Lal's house and other senti scenes does not evoke any feelings in you.
Final Word - A Siby - Udaya range film from Ranjith. This is what happens when people like Renjith writes a film by seeing the actor in front of him. The film will have to be developed within the limitations of that actor.
Scenese which got most claps
Lal, Suraj, Thilakan Intro
Madhu Jeans okke ittu varunna scene - That is the only sequence which evoked good laughters
Lena theri vilickunna scene - It is awesome !!
Scenes which got koovals
Angane valliya koovalonnum undaayilla.
Performance
Lal - Okay. An act which he has done well X number of times. Repeats the same expressions, body language without any change. Anyway the role is created with those in mind.
Nandu - He was very good.
Others nothing worth mentioning.
Positives
Direction - Renjith as a direct has improved well.
Negatives
Script
Very predictable
Reason for Lal's character to stop drinking not at all convincing
Lal's F**k evening and F**k Off nalla bore aayi thanne vannittondu
Crowd Response
Film kazhinjappol claps pinne angingu valare cheriya kooval. Pinne mattu padangale pole thanne double meaning dialogues-inum, theri vilickum nalla claps. TV show-yude samayathokke aalukalkku nallonam bore adickunnondu.
BO Chances - Not sure. Adhokke varum divasangalil ariyaam.
Rating - 2/5
