"A Decent Family Entertainer Worth Watching"

Nidra,released back in 2012 gave glimpse of Siddharth Bharathan's accomplishment as a proficient director and he stamps it with Chandrettan Evideya by presenting an ordinary storyline written by Santhosh Echikkanm with adequate freshness in narration,proving successful in keeping the audience engaged for its run-time of around 120 minutes.A simple,feel-good movie with ample dose of delicate humor that never backfired,Chandrettan Evideya is a welcome change for Janapriyanayakan who needed a break from his monotonous done-to-death roles in the recent past.

The screenplay by Santhosh Echikkanam is devoid of over the top slapstick numbers and make use of situational humor as the basic additive in presenting this simple story about husband-wife relationship.The basic plot and the sequences reminds us of numerous families movies in the past,but Siddharth manages to narrate the storyline refreshingly utilizing the cast and technical crew to the best.

Eventhough little lag was felt halfway through the second half,Siddharth managed to bring the movie back into the track towards the climax and ended the movie satisfactorily.The movie turned serious with the onset of climax and managed to present a notable message towards today's society even though cliched and easily predictable for a normal movie goer.

The flaws in the screenplay,predictability and the fact that the basic premise has been seen many a times before keeps the from being called a brilliant craft,but the Mollywood audience must thank Siddharth for presenting Dileepettan in an avatar that we love to watch him on screen.

Performancewise,Dileepettan was at his best handling situational humor with his trademark mannerisms that we all love to watch again and again.His character reminds us of his yesteryear characters from films like Pattanathil Sundaran,My Boss and Ishtam were loud slapstick numbers take a backseat giving way for witty one-liners and situational humor.Anusree gave a matured peformance as Sushuma and was really impressive in a role made to measure for her.Namitha Pramod did her part well.Among the rest of the cast Soubin Shahir was notable whereas Mukesh,Suraj Venjaramood,Chmeban Vinod were good.

Music by Prashant Pillai was adequate with 'Vasantha Mallike' being the pick from the album.Frames by Shyju Khalid were fresh and cuts by Bavan Sreekumar were pretty good providing the movie a cool,trimmed look.

Overall,Chandrettan Evideya is an average family entertainer which has enough in store to call it a movie worth watching from the cinemas.
