Welcome to Central Jail: enthu thettu cheythittaanaavo...! Review
Film: WELCOME TO CENTRAL JAIL
Theatre: Girija, Thrissur
Day & Time: 15th September 2016, Wednesday 9:15pm, Second Show
Occupancy: Probably Houseful at start (read review for details)
Cast: Dileep, Siddhique, Vedika, Thesni Khan, etc.
Plot: A lady gives birth to a baby in prison whose husband is also an inmate of the prison for committing homicide. The baby grows up as dear to all prisoners and staff alike. The baby lost its parents in his younger age in prison. Now he is a grown up man (Dileep) who considers Central Prison as his father's house (Tharavadu). He accepts some other's crimes so that he could enter prison and live there some time. Once he falls in love with an orphan girl who later enters prison for drug dealings. But she was innocent, yet became prey to the enmity of a political leader. In order to protect her, he commits crime and enters prison meanwhile she also commits crime to protect herself.
Public Acceptance: Theatre was packed (I think it was houseful, but not sure) at start with a lot of families and children. But after about 10 minutes, people started getting bored. Some people did not wait for interval, they left the theatre with eyes downcast. Some challis got big appreciation. Some others were too cheap for the public to laugh.
Performance:
Dileep: His acting reminded me of the character in Chakkaramuthu. Boring most of the times
Vedika: sceenspace was too small, dialogues too rare.
Other stars: no comments
Last Line: This is a film targeted at the school children, but the violence in the film would not justify that. It is a comedy film for its too base dialogues and double-meaning jokes. It is an action oriented film for its portrayal of violence in inappropriate places (a kind of ni-ko-nja-cha style).
The last of the last comment: Even before interval, I asked myself what crime did I commit to watch this film!!
Rating: (a generous) 1.5/5
(very disappointed. Those who know me would easily notice that I haven't used any smiles in this review)
