Review by : Unni / Kerala9.com
‘Ividam Swargamaanu’, the third film from Rosshan Andrrews after ‘Udayanaanu Thaaram’ and ‘Notebook’, tells a story that conveys a very strong message and may even make us sit up and think.
Mathews (Mohanlal), the son of Germias (Thilakan) and Elsa (Kaviyoor Ponnamma), is a hard-working farmer who has, over the years, developed his farm in a great way. He now is a successful farmer, cultivating his own land and doing cattle rearing too in a big way. His lifegoes all smooth and we see a young television reporter Betsy (Nirmala) desiring to do a programme on him. Anyway, things take a new turn for Mathews when Aluva Chandy (Laloo Aalex), a rich real estate guy eyes his property and wants to buy it. Mathews refuses to sell it, but Chandy is bent on procuring it. Mathews finds that it’s almost impossible to fight against Chandy, who has got his own influence and can do almost anything that he wishes to do. It’s from here that the story takes off.
‘Ividam Swargamaanu’, which has a thought provoking title, narrates a story that touches all of us and our lives in an intimate manner. There are many plusses to the movie, but the pace of the movie, which is rather slow for a Mohanlal starrer and the almost 3-hours’ length too may keep people away from the box office, unless the makers go in for some vigorous publicity tactics. This is a movie that everyone of us has got to see.
Performances
Mohanlal is comfortable with his role, but we feel he could have done it better. There seems to be something lacking somwhere, but of course he is good as Mathews. Laloo Aalex may seem a miscast to critics and his character could very well be described as sort of caricature too, but it’s a matter of no doubt that people would love his performance, delivered in his typical style. He even gets some applause towards the end of the film. Lakshmi Rai is good. Laskshmi Gopalaswamy has nothing much to do while Priyanka is so so. Thilakan and Kaviyoor Ponnamma are their usual selves and so is Sreenivasan. Jagathy Sreekumar’s character is well etched and he performs brilliantly well, but that may not find appeal with average viewers. The others do justice to their respetive roles.
Technical aspects
Technical aspects are in sync with the theme and the mood. But the film could have been edited better and made a bit more slick.
Music
The background score by Gopisunder syncs in perfectly well with the mood of the film. Anyhow, the absence of songs, which are sort of imperative for a Mohanlal movie to appeal to the family audience, may work against the movie at the box office.
Script
The script by James Albert is good and he deserves to be appreciated for having chosen a good and relevant subject. But still, he could have polished some scenes and made them slicker, which would have done good to the film. The pace would then have been different and the film would have got a better audience too.
Direction
Rosshan is of course in control of things, but he could have made the film a bit more slick and fast. Kudos to Rosshan and crew for coming up with such a film with a relevant message.
Overall verdict- Laudable effort. Conveys a relevant message.

Director: Shafi
Main Cast: Mammootty,Lakshmi Rai
Music: Alex Paul
Camera: Manoj Pillai
Lyrics: Vayalar Saratchandra Varma
Story/ Screenplay: Benny P. Nayarmbalam
Producer: Naushad and Anto Joseph

Review by : Unni / Kerala9.com
So, what would you expect out of a Shafi movie? The director, who has delivered colourful entertainers all along once again gives us an entertainer in ‘Chattambinaadu’, a film that banks heavily on the charisma and acting caliber of Mammootty, who plays the lead role.
‘Chattambinaadu’ takes us to a place named ‘Chembattunaadu’, which has earned for itself the name ‘Chattambinaadu’ due to the presence of the many rowdies there. It’s Kaattapilli Nagendran (Siddique) who has, with the passage of time, established his sway upon the people there. Nagendran is determined to see the end of his rival Mallanchara Chandramohan Unnithan (Manoj.K.Jayan), who is in dire straits now and always drunk. Nagendran leaves no stone unturned to ensure that Chandramohan is not able to get a customer to sell of his bungalow, which he is desirous of selling. It’s in this context that some people bring in Veerendra Malliah (Mammootty) to bring the house. Malliah, who has his own sway in Karnataka, is at first reluctant to buy the house, but when goons sent by Nagendran come seeking him and his aide Murugan (Vinoo Mohan) in Karnataka and when he gets a threatening call from Nagendran, memories flash through his mind and he decides to buy the house. It’s thus that Veerendra Malliah lands up in Chattambinaadu. From day one itself it’s face-to-face confrontation between Malliah and Nagendran. And then the story takes off.
‘Chattambinaadu’ has nothing new to offer. It’s a mix of many films of the same mould that you have seen earlier. It’s Mammootty’s charismatic presence (which would enthrall any die-hard fan) that carries the film forward, the colourful frames and the witty humour spicing it all up. The film is nothing but a fast-paced colorful entertainer likely to appeal to Mammootty fans and also to fans of Shafi films.
Performances
Mammootty gives a high voltage performance (of course not an award-winning kind of performance, but one that suits a commercial entertainer of this genre) as Veerendra Malliah and delivers the kind of dialogues that would excite any Mammootty fan. His presence is simply exhilarating and it’s he who carries the film on his shoulders. ‘Chattambinaadu’ is Mammootty’s film, on all levels. Lakshmi Rai does justice to the role of Gauri while Siddique as Nagendran and Manoj.K.Jayan as Chandramohan Unnithan are quite convincing, though acting in their usual respective styles. Suraaj Venjaramoodu delivers nothing new by way of style and dialogue rendition, but he is in full form and elicits many a laugh. Suraaj does contribute to the box office appeal of the film, in a big way. Vinoo Mohan gets to do something loud, compared to his previous roles, as Murugan while Salim Kumar is his very usual self and good too. The others all fit their roles perfectly well.
Technical aspects
Cinematography by Manoj Pillai, editing by V.Sajan and art-direction by Joseph Nellickal are all very much in sync with the mood and the tempo of their film. Their contribution cannot be overlooked.
Music
The background score, loud on the main, jells with the tempo of the film. The songs, composed, rendered and filmed as befits a Shafi movie, may not seem that melodious or appealing and may not stay in our minds for long, but they don’t in any way hamper the flow of the film.
Script
Benny.P.Nayarambalam has done a good work of the screenplay and the dialogues, though there is nothing new in the story. There are many sequences that would remind you of many other movies, like ‘Raajamanickam’, ‘Thommanum Makkalum’, ‘Annan Thampi’, Madambi’ etc. You have seen it all before, but Benny, in collaboration with Shafi, has succeeded in packaging it all in a colourful manner, so as to appeal to those who are looking for some fun.
Direction
Shafi is in control of things as the director. After ‘Lollypop’, which had gone terribly wrong, Shafi seems to be back in full form and delivers what’s expected out of him, a colourful entertainer.
Overall verdict- Entertainer! Watch it for Mammootty and Shafi.

My Big Father Review|My Big Father User Reviews
Producer- P.A.Sebastian
Director- Mahesh.P.Sreenivasan
Cast- Jayaram, Guinness Pakru, Kaniha etc.
Music- Alex Paul
Lyrics- Vayalar Sharath Chandra Varma
Cinematography- Vipin Mohan
Story,Screenplay,dialogues- Suresh Menon, Satheesh.K.Sivan
Review by : Unni / www.Kerala9.com
Mahesh.P.Sreenivasan, known popularly in the film circuits as S.P.Mahesh, has been working as an associate director to many leading directors. It was with ‘Changathipoocha’ that he made his debut as an independent director. The film anyhow was not up to the mark and didn’t make any kind of impact at the box office. Now, with ‘My Big Father’, Mahesh tries his luck a second time and emerges a bit more successful. The film is far better than his debut film.
It seems that if one goes to see ‘My Big Father’ with rather realistic expectations, there won’t be reasons to get disappointed. It’s a film made in the line of those many Jayaram starrers that you have been seeing all these years; and those who know how a typical Jayaram starrer happens to be won’t be disappointed. Yes, ‘My Big Father’ is a rather OK kind of Jayaram starrer.
‘My Big Father’ tells the story of the bonding between a father and a son, a dwarfish father and his son. Kunjumon (Guinness Pakru), the dwarfish father of a motherless child, brings up the child with much love, care and hopes. The son Alby, as in most such films, grows up justifying his father’s hopes and aspirations. As a grown up guy, Alby (Jayaram) decides that he will marry only that girl who doesn’t laugh or giggle on seeing his father. And hence his marriage goes on getting delayed until he chances to come across Ancy (Kaniha), with whom he falls in love at first sight itself. Ancy fulfils Alby’s condition too and they get married. But something happens that changes things for all of them- Kunjumon, Alby and Ancy.
There is nothing much in the movie by way of substance. In fact it’s all meaningless stuff, you may tend to say. But the end-result is a tolerable kind of film that may appeal to the family audience, kids especially. But if you are looking for some ‘sensible’ stuff, something that appeals to your intellect and to the ‘intellectual’ in you, then sorry, this is not the film for you. ‘My Big Father’ is just a so so kind of film with many ill-conceived scenes and all, but it’s ok for a time-pass movie and, as said earlier, is definitely better than ‘Changathipoocha’.
Performances
Jayaram is his usual self and does full justice to the role of Alby, but the film belongs mostly to Guinness Pakru, who does his part excellently well. Kaniha hasn’t got much to do, but plays her part well. Innocent is his usual self. Jagathy Sreekumar and Suraaj haven’t got much to do. Salim Kumar is OK. Nothing much to say about the others in the cast.
Technical aspects
Nothing much to say about the technical aspects, which however don’t matter much for a film of this kind. The technicians have all done their job perfectly well anyway.
Music
Background score is fine, but the songs may not linger in your memories for long.
Script
Suresh Menon and Satheesh.K.Sivan, who began their career with Anil’s Jayaram-starrer ‘Suryan’, do an OK kind of work with the script. But their attempt to work out the humour element with the supporting characters, played by Suraaj, Jagathy etc, doesn’t work much. They seem to have forgotten these characters (who were perhaps brought in to lure the audience to the theatres) and seem to concentrate mainly on the key players alone.
Direction
As mentioned earlier, director Mahesh has improved much, compared to his debut film. But given his experience in films and his association with leading directors, Mahesh may very well be able to deliver better films. Let’s hope he does that in future.
Overall verdict- Time pass movie. Don’t expect too much.

Paleri Manikyam Review | Malayalam Movie Palery Manikyam User Reviews
Producer- Maha Subair, A.V.Anoop
Director- Ranjith
Cast- Mythili, Mammootty, Gauri Munjal etc.
Music- Sharath, Bijibal
Lyrics- Rafeeqe Ahamed, T.P.Rajeevan
Background music- Bijibal
Cinematography- Manoj Pillai
Story- T.P.Rajeevan
Screenplay, dialogues- Ranjith
Review by – Unni / www.Kerala9.com
Ranjith’s ‘Palery Manikyam, Oru Pathirakolapaathakathinte Katha’ delivers what was expected out of it. Scripted well and narrated in an excellent manner, the film begins in the 1950’s, then brings us to the present and then shuttles between the past and the present and in between narrating an interesting story, makes references to many things of social and political significance. A film that stands out in quality, ‘Palery Manikyam…’ is in fact multilayered and works on different planes. But whether the film will work out at the box office is uncertain.
The story begins in the 1950’s in Palery, when a young girl Manikyam (Mythili) is found dead in the most mysterious of manners one night. The very same night, a young guy is found dead by the river in the village. And the very same night, a child is born in the village.
Cut, to the present. The child that was born on that day is now a grown up man, Haridas (Mammootty). Haridas, an investigator based in Delhi, sets out to unravel the mysteries surrounding the death of Manikyam, the 20-year old girl who died, or perhaps was killed, the very same night he was born. He is accompanied by Sarayu (Gauri Munjal), a crime analyst, with whom Haridas, who is married and has a family of his own, has an affair. Haridas, when he makes his exploration into the happenings that happened over half a century back, seems to be seeing it all as happening in front of his eyes. (The film merges the past and present in a single frame in a brilliant manner). Things move on, from one character to another and it all takes a twist with the introduction of Ahmed Haji (Mammootty), a rich landlord who lived in the 1950’s. The revelation that Haridas makes about Ahmed Haji sort of startles and shocks Sarayu. And from here the story takes off, to end in a totally unpredictable and impressive manner.
It’s the over-all structure and the narration that makes ‘Palery Manikyam…’ stand out among the films that come out these days. The strain that Ranjith, his team and the producers Maha Subair and A.V.Anoop have taken to make this film a reality has to be appreciated. But since the film doesn’t have much of the usual box office kind of ingredients, it may not work out with Mammootty fans or the lovers of commercial movie. But still, it’s definitely one of those films which could effect a change in the sensibilities of the average Malayalee film viewers. Hats off to Ranjith and crew.
Performances
Though it is Mythili who does the central character, that of Palery Manikyam, it’s Mammootty who steals the show, especially as Ahmed Haji, a character portrayed in shades of grey. Mammootty is his very usual self as Haridas while he portrays the character of Ahmed Haji with versatility. (The character even reminds you at times of Bhaskara Patelar, the character that Mammootty did in Adoor’s ‘Vidheyan’). The character of Khalid Ahmed comes as a bonus. Mythili, though she doesn’t have much to do, suits her role and does justice to it. Same about Gauri Munjal. Shwetha Menon, who had given a mesmerizing performance in ‘Madhyavenal’, gives a brilliant performance as Cheenu, who is the mother-in-law of Mythili. Sreenivasan is good. The many debutant artists who have done the many key roles too have to be appreciated. No doubt, the acting camp organized by the makers of ‘Palery Manikyam…’ has done much good to these debutant artists.
Technical aspects
The film is technical sound, in all ways. The cinematography (by Manoj Pillai), the editing (by Vijai Shankar) and the art-direction (by Murugan Kattakada) have all handled well. The costume designing too has been taken care of in an appreciable manner.
Music
The background score by Bijibal syncs in perfectly well with the mood of the film. The only song, which comes towards the very end of the film, too is good.
Script
It’s the script, penned by Ranjith himself, which works the magic for ‘Palery Manikyam…’. The narration plus the way Ranjith has merged the past and the present gives a different kind of feel to the film. The characterization is also good. The way he makes references to social and political realities too deserves special mention.
Direction
Ranjith is very much in control of the proceedings and has done an excellent work as the director, eliciting excellent performances out of the artists.
Overall verdict- excellent movie,brilliant narrative

Gulumal Review | Malayalam Movie Gulumal User Gulumal Reviews
Producer- Sajitha Prakash
Director- V.K.Prakash
Cast- Kunchacko Boban, Jayasurya, Mithra Kurian etc.
Music- Manu Ramesan
Lyrics- S.Rameshan Nair, Simon Paluvai
Cinematography- Fowzia Fathima
Story, Screenplay, dialogues- Rajesh.Y.V
Review by : Unni / www.Kerala9.com
V.K.Prakash, who is also a leading ad filmmaker, has given us films of all shades-the rather off beat ‘Freaky Chakra’ and ‘Punaradhivaasam’, the romantic ‘Mullavalliyum Thenmaavum’, the action flick ‘Police’ and the horror movie ‘Moonnamathoraal’. And now, VKP (as he is known in film and ad circuits) tries the comedy mode too. Whether he comes out successful or not is of course the big question. The answer tends to be more in the negative; and a very notable thing is that, for reasons known only to him and the scenarist Rajesh.Y.V, the film moves on the lines of the Abhishekh Bachchan-Ritesh Deshmukh-Nana Patekar starrer ‘Bluffmaster’ towards the end.
Ravi Varma (Kunchacko Boban), whose father (Nedumudi Venu) is arrested and remanded to judicial custody after being falsely implicated in a case of fraud, decides to make money by hook or crook, so that he can get his father out. It’s then that a guy (Salim Kumar) inspires him to make quick money by conning people. And in his very first attempt, Ravi is caught red-handed, but it’s then that Jerry (Jayasurya) comes to his rescue. Jerry rescues Ravi very cleverly and eventually Ravi learns that Jerry is an expert in the con game. He decides to learn the tricks of the trade from him. Ravi manages to persuade Jerry to take him in, as sort of an apprentice. Soon they are a team and Jerry introduces Ravi at many places as his ‘partner’. It’s in the meantime that they get to try their hand at something big. A rich NRI Harish Abdul Rahman (Devan), who is on a visit to Kerala, becomes their target. Their plan is to sell off to him the copy of a Raja Ravi Varma painting and earn a fortune. It’s not a very easy job. Firstly it’s not that easy to get to meet Harish Abdul Rahman. Secondly, they have to be careful enough so that Harish Abdul Rahman doesn’t discover that the painting is only a copy and not the original. And thirdly, Jerry’s sister Sera (Mithra Kurian), who works in the hotel where Harish Abdul Rahman is staying, doesn’t like her brother and wouldn’t even let Jerry enter the premises of the hotel. What follows forms the rest of the plot.
Well, the plot is not that bad. But the treatment, especially in the first half, has nothing much to speak about. The film moves on just like any of those many comedy flicks that get released and sink without a trace. The bunch of foolish cops, led by Suraaj Venjaramoodu, seems to be a bit too much, though some of the scenes filmed on them would elicit a laugh or two. (Suraaj’s character reminds one of the character Jagathy Sreekumar played so brilliantly about two decades back in the Viji Thampy film ‘Nagarangalil Chennu Raapaarkkaam’, which however was far better). So, there is nothing much to speak about in the first half of the movie. And in the post-interval section too, there is nothing much either. But of course the scene where Harish Abdul Rahman tells Jerry in the face that if he is to buy the painting, Jerry should persuade Sera to come to his room at night with the painting and the scenes that follow are different and impressive too. The way Jerry behaves may of course be much different from what out stereotyped hero would do and Jayasurya has delivered a good performance in these scenes too. VKP needs to be appreciated for daring to try such a bold thing, but our audience (some of them even tend to boo at these scenes in particular) won’t accept such a character and that would definitely go against ‘Gulumaal’. In total the ‘Bluffmaster’-inspired ‘Gulumaal’ has too many loose ends to it and fails to impress on the whole.
Performances
Jayasurya as Jerry has done a good job while Kunchacko Boban as Ravi Varma is his very usual self and is OK. Mithra Kurian is good as Sera. The rest of the characters are all just OK about their respective roles.
Technical aspects
VKP being one of the most techno-savvy of film makers, we’d expect much of technical brilliance out of his films and would mostly tend to expect frames akin to those of ad-films, which he has been delivering in the song sequences of his many films. But this time, VKP seems to have been more engrossed in giving us a laugh riot. The technical aspects are good, but there is nothing outstanding to mention about them.
Music
The background score jells with the mood of the film, but the songs don’t impress much.
Script
There is nothing much to speak about the script. The film could have been much better and even a real big hit, had it been scripted in a better way, it seems.
Direction
V.K.Prakash, who knows his job well, seems to have done ‘Gulumaal’ in a rather callous manner. He could have crafted it in a much better manner and then the film would have turned out to be much better, as an entertainer.
Overall verdict- Goes off the track! Fails to entertain!

Kappal Muthalali Review | Malayalam Movie Kappal Muthalali User Review
Producer- Mummy Century, Remis Raja
Director- Thaha
Cast- Ramesh Pisharody,Sarayu,Mukesh, Jagadeesh etc.
Music- Sumesh Anand
Lyrics- Anil Panachooran
Cinematography- Sadath
Story, Screenplay, dialogues- Thaha-Saji Damodar
Review by : Unni / Kerala9.com
Director Thaha is known as the director of the hilarious ‘Ee Parakkum Thalika’, one of those films that worked the magic for Dileep at the box office. Though Dileep went on to become one of the top stars, Thaha’s career took a dip after that. The Thaha-directed films that came after that- ‘Thekkekara Super Fast’, ‘Kerala House Udan Vilppanaykku’, ‘Hailessa’- were utter flops. Here comes another movie, ‘Kappal Muthalali’, which no doubt would prove an addition to this list.
‘Kappal Muthalali’ tells the story of a young guy named Bhoominathan (Ramesh Pisharody), who is working in the passport office. His family comprises of his aged mother, his elder sister and brother in law and his younger sister. Bhoominathan is the sole bread-winner. But things get hard for him as a result of the liabilities incurred by his late father and also because as per his father’s will, he gives half his salary every month to a guy named Parasuraman (Bheeman Reghu), who pops up at the office every month. Finding it difficult to make both ends meet, Bhoominathan quits his job and with the money that he gets for compensation under the VRS scheme, he buys a plot of land and with the help of his friend and building supervisor Thulaseedharan (Jagadeesh) sets out to build up a tourist resort there, all this without the knowledge of his family members or even Radhika (Sarayu), his lover and fiancée. As the work progresses, something strange happens. A centuries-old sail ship is unearthed during the digging of the site. Archaeology guys come up and take over and then things start falling apart for young Bhoominathan, whose land is no longer his and who has to fight it all alone, of course with Thulaseedharan by his side. It’s from here that things take off.
Performances
As for Ramesh Pisharody, who plays Bhoominathan, he is yet to learn the nuances of acting. Ramesh, who took to cinema from the small screen, has got to realize that acting is very much different from what these guys do in the name of anchoring on television. Sarayu is OK. Mukesh, Jagadeesh and Jagathy Sreekumar are good. Bheeman Reghu and Salim Kumar are their usual selves. The others don’t have much to do in the whole of the proceedings.
Technical aspects
Nothing much to say about the technical features. It’s all average.
Music
Background score by Mohan Sithara is in keeping with the mood and the tempo of the film. The songs however are unimpressive.
Script
A plot that could have made for a wholesome entertainer has gone all waste, due to inept scripting. The scenes are all ill conceived and the dialogues too unimpressive. A big ‘boo’ for the script.
Direction
Thaha’s mind, as a director, seems to be stuck in the late 1980’s, for his films seem to be refusing to come of age. His style of direction, the way he conceives his scenes and his characters- it all seems old fashioned and thus his film which, if scripted and directed well, would have elicited loud applause from the audience now gets greeted by hooting and booing.
Overall verdict- An interesting story gone waste.
