KB - Biju Menon combo is a much likeable duo in Malayalam after Ordinary. Also Biju Menon is going through the best times in his career. Naturally expectations were high about this movie but was little down after 101 Weddings. Anyway after seeing all +ve reviews in FK my expectations multiplied and decided to see the movie today itself. But the sad fact is that the movie did not live upto that expectations. If I had not gone after seeing so much +ve reviews might be my expectations would have been less and could have liked the movie more.

Coming to the movie the story like has nothing new to offer. Regular heroes who goes down the wrong path of the life due to praarabdhams and due to some circumstances had to become Father in a church and some mystery associated with it. One liners from Biju and KB's mannerisms in several scenes is what saves the movie. Plus the location which is beautiful.

When compared to Ordinary, this film is no where near to Ordinary be it performance from lead actors, direction, story, script whatever. Ordinary has a genuinity to it since it tells the life of two KSRTC employees and their associated happenings in life. Romans is predictable to the core and even in the climax we know what is going to happen next. That is what is a major drawback. I am pretty sure other than in multiplexes there are several scenes towards climax which could get good Koovals.

There are lot of one liners in the movie which evokes laughter. Only scene which I burst out laughing was Biju Menon's dialogue after KB's flash back story. Almost all the other one liners just brought out a small smile and did not make us laugh away to glory.

On the whole it is a decent watchable entertainer and you will not be dissatisfied if you go with no much expectations. Nothing much to boast about nothing much to complain either.

Positives
KB and Biju combo. Did not feel like KB was sidelined by Biju. Both gave equally good performance.
Decent Direction
Good location
Heroine does well what she is supposed to do - Just look pretty.

Negatives
Nothing new in the story
Very predictable

Scenes which I liked the most
Biju Menon after KB flash back

Crowd Response
Felt like most of the crowd was enjoying the one liners.

Rating - 3/5

Final Word - A decent time pass entertainer. Nothing more.

Vaalkashanam - KB, Biju Menon pinne oru Hill Station location-um. EE 3 items combo aayittulla padangal iniyum nammal kaanendi varum ennu thonnunnu.
