One Line Review - "A Mediocre Satyan Film With Half-Baked Screenplay"

Boxoffice Prediction- Average/Hit

Detailed Analysis
______________
The Quality of Satyan Anthikad films have languished evidently post 2010[Leaving aside an above average 'Oru Indian Pranayakadha'] with his usual family dramas becoming too repetitive with seen-before characters,cliched situations and extremely predictable narration.Still,I made up my mind to try this Satyan flick on the day of its release as it was the first movie release from Mollywood post the theater strike that lasted almost a month.

Surprisingly,the storyline of the film is blatantly similar to 2015 blockbuster '"Jacobinte Swargarajyam" that presented a care-free youth,played by Nivin Pauly resuscitating the lost glory of his family post financial crisis.The highly predictable screenplay of Jomonte Suviseshangal by Iqbal Kuttipuram is based upon the same one-line plot,with the narration being pretty ordinary on comparison with JSR.

The first half was rather interesting with few good comic sequences and rocking chemistry between the father-son duo of Dulquer and Mukesh being the best part of the narration.The treatment was similar to Satyan films in the past with the screenplay making profound focus on family relationships,utilizing natural humor to keep the viewers engaged with the narration.

The second half in contrary was a big mess,with the narration losing its grip as minutes passed by.The movie started traversing the most predictable paths with the similarity with JSR and other Satyan films adding to the boredom.

The way things got winded up in the end was presented very unconvincingly,the simple reason why the movie couldn't connect with the audience unlike JSR which was an inspirational affair in all means.The only saving grace in the slow-paced second half was few combination sequences between Dulquer and Mukesh that portrayed the intensity father-son relationship well on screen.

Performancewise,Dulquer Salman portrayed the title character Jomon pretty well with ample support from Mukesh who played the role of Jomon's father with required perfection.The chemistry betwwen the two worked out very well and the light hearted sequences between the two stood out in an otherwise monotonous narration.Anupama Parameshwaran had nothing much to perform than to look good.Kakkamuttai fame Aishwarya Rajesh did her part well.Among others,Shivaji Guruvayur and Manobala were impressive.Jacob Gregory seemed as if he is still not out of the ABCD hangover.

Songs by Vidyasagar except for "Nokki Nokki" were disappointing and sub-standard from a composer of his caliber.Editing by K. Rajagopal and Cinematography by S.Kumar were fine.

Overall, Jomonte Suviseshangal is passable feel-good film that reminds that its hard time Satyan Anthikad tried something different from his cliched family dramas.

#Poor Second Half #Predictable Storyline #Half-Baked Screenplay #Similarity To Few Recent Releases

Final Verdict::The apt title for the this movie could have been "Jomonte Swargarajyam" as nothing much have changed here from the 2015 Mollywood flick as far as the basic storyline is concerned.An addition to the list of cliched family dramas from Satyan Anthikad,the 138 minutes long feature is a strictly average feel good flick that might turn satisfactory if you go with least of expectations.
