ABCD - American Born Confused Dasanum Vijayanum.. A Late Review

hm sorry for late review, enniku ipola samyam kittyathu write cheyyan.

ee filminte posters announce cheythappo thottu ente pratheeksha valare aathikam aayirunnu. American Born Confused Desi termil base cheythu oru film. Ingane oru theme ulla 1st malayalam film ayathondu hype koodi. also because I am a Kuwaiti born, Canadian Desi. (I was never confused of my culture, athkondu confused illa. njan kaandu valarnathu malayalam cinemakkal, I have seen more malayalam movies than english!.. I love malayalam movies over english) I have been here for 8 years. eviduthe maha thendikkal aanu ee "abcd's" alenkil "CBCD'S".. These kid's are overly whitewashed and pick on the malayali kids who speak malayalam and are very malayali. Athukondu enikku ishtamallathe avar aanu ee cbcd's, I have been harassed by them and so on. Nammal pavvapetta malayali aayathondu avarkku puchaam.. so now u see where I'm standing with my opinion on abcd's!

STORY..kadha:

2 ABCD's Johns and Korah, avaryude immaturity kaaranam oru situationsil pedunnu. avar aathinu excape cheyyan vazzhi nokki kandethi, pakshe Johnsinte father avarkku vere oru plan kodukkunnu, force cheyyupichu naattil konduviddunnu (against their will). So as they reach kerala they are highly disappointed that they can't live the similar way as they did before in america as spoiled whitewashed mallus. Then on they get into another situation that becomes a positive but becomes a negative to a politician. athukondu avar veendum oru preshnathil pedunnu!

PERFORMANCES:

*Dulquer- He was absolutely great as Johns, it would be obvious that he would be a ladies man in NY if he was there. Pakshe njan sathyam paranjal americayil otta ABCD'snum Dulqueryude athraem glamourilla, athraem aaduthu orikkalum varoola. Koodathil chekkanmaare kaaruthu, negrosine pole avan sremikkunnavar aanu. So it ws nice to see a ABCD character who is actually "good looking".. Also eviduthe kanan bhangi ulla madamarku indiansne ottum attraction illa!!!... it's rare to see that, if there is an attraction the girl is mostly ugly, unlike savannah schechter.. hmmm.. but DULQUERS PERFORMANCE was gr8, dulquerkku glmour koodathil undondu kadha angane aaki peduthiyathu aanu ennu thongunnu.. hehehe

*Jacob Gregory alenkil nammmude GIRI GIRI. adipoli performance. pakshe Korahyude english oru abcdyude alla!!.. Korah is quite fluent in malayalam but not so fluent in english, although he is an ABCD!.. ?.. dubbing giri giri thaane alla ennu thongunnu?... hmmm.. pakshe girigiri nannayittu thane cheythu style lookum,aa comedy scenesum. ellam kallakki!

*Aparna gopinath as Madhumitha.... ival kandal otta abcdum "u looking pretty hot today" ennu parayoola. kandittu oru "lesbian" look undu. .hehehehe.. tomboy style kollam pakshe oru muddi neetti valarthi oru penkutty aayirunnengil parayam.. pakshe ithu.. I didn't like to see her as a heroine... pakshe she acted well. She did great as she is a theatre artist.
but for me it wasn't a great character to look at.

*Tovino Thomas as Akhilesh Varma..he was great for a newcomeer.. nalla oru villain thaane!! superb acting and facial expression considering he is a newcomer..

*S.P. Sreekumar as Lloyd Fernandes.. machane kalakki! ivaanu nalla screen prescene undu bhai! nalla bhaavi undu as a comedian and an actor! watched him on marimayam and mammootty the best actor award. He is actually talented. He should get more roles like this!

*Lalu Alex as Isaac John as usual seemed like an innocent malayali kodeeshwaran..

Positives
comedies
direction
music
performances
to me everything was a positive except climax & 2nd half
also cinematography "wasn't bad" but I expected much more of the magic by Jomon T. John

Negatives

climax
2nd half wasnt so great

----
Dileepinte usual nammal kaandu madutha koprayangale kaalam nallathaayrunu.. I'm saying this as I was a Dileep fan. ippo nokkumpol, Mayamohini Sound Thoma okke bore padangal thaane.. kandu madutha bore items. Its nice to see a SUPERHIT COMEDY Film with youngsters in the cast. I hope malayalam films can continue with youngsters and still get hits. I hate how Dileeps film become hit without content. It should slowly wither down soon with our young talents.

This is really a SPLENDID ENTERTAINER

Rating: 7.5/10


to CONCLUDE it was like Dasanum Vijayanum pakshe avar american born confused desi's aayirunengil ?
