Jomonte Suvisheshangal

Jomonte Suviseshangal (2017): Dulquer Salman is one of the most charming actors of Indian Cinema.Despite of his filmography confined to only Malayalam and Tamil,he got good following in Telugu too.After OK Kanmani and Bangalore Days,I have became a huge fan of him and started watching all his movies.Jomonte Suviseshangal is his first film in 2017 and as usually I had huge expectations on this film.So how is it?

Plot: Vincent (Mukesh) is a wealthy businessman in Thrissur. He has various investments but his primary business is real estate. He has four children, including Jomon (Dulquer). Everyone in the family is money-minded except for Jomon who is a misfit. Being the son of a wealthy businessman, Jomon has no worries about his future and lives life on his terms. Due to a bad business decision, Vincent loses all his wealth and house. While all his other children and close relatives make it clear that they want no part in his struggle, Jomon steps in and takes his father under his wing.So how did both the father and son struggle and retain their gone status forms the rest of the story..

Plus Points:

1)Performances: Once again Dulquer gave his charming performance with perfection.His look,his dialogue delivery and especially his smile are so delightful.Mukesh has given brilliant performance as father.Their father-son relationship is the major plus point of the movie.

2)Second half: After a poor first half,second half came as a relief.Even though it is predictable,it manages to garner our attention with delightful performances and scenes.

Minus Points:

1)Outdated Plot: This movie has the most outdated plot I had ever seen in Dulquer's career.This movie has the almost same plot ad Gowtham SSC,with changes in second half.

2)First half: Except one or two scenes,entire first half fails to engage us.Predictable narration and beaten to death love track between Dulquer and Anupama is so boring.

3)Duration: This movie has lengthy duration of 2hr 35 min and especially first half irritates us.

So,Jomonte Suviseshangal makes a one time watch only because of Dulquer and Mukesh.

My rating 6.25/10

A good movie which can be watched with all the family members. No extra spice added for commercial gains. Good star cast and the Director has extracted good work from each and every star. In between a couple of shots are too long and a bit dragging. But this can be overlooked owing to the requirement for a lengthier scenes for the narration of the story.

Both the heroines look fresh. Innocent as usual has done good a good job. Mukesh fits the role fro his age.

Some scenes are really touching - depicting the true love and affection between father and son which can not be measured with money.

Also the movie gives a message on anti- smoking.

This movie should have been released in 2005 to 2007 that was their screen play like and old movie, other wise movie had good plot and twists and such good felt movie but didn't relate with 2017 that's all. First half so slow with so many lags mostly about hero's character and his lavishness on giving away the money. And the second half was bit good all the hardwork of the character and emotional scenes of the family took the movie to the next stage with some twist and came back to their level in the society and how the people are reacting with levels in society was intriguing like when every billionaire has their ups and down they shouldn't leave hope must fight back.

My rating- 2.5/5 (Disappointing)

Positives- 1.)Dulquer,Anupama,Innocent,Mukesh and Aishwarya- (3.3/5)- Dulquer's performance was just good and nothing marvelous in it. Anupamas role was short but she did good. Innocent was great and mukesh was just OK. Aishwarya was also good.

2.)Songs - (3.3/5) Negatives- 1.)Direction,screenplay and story- (2/5) Direction got messed up and story had nothing new and it looked copy of jacobinte swargarajyam. Screenplay failed to give seriousness in required areas. Plot had less novel elements to the credit and this is one of the main drawbacks. And no logic in some areas and disturbed the experience.

2.)Shot in thrissur but none of the main actors had thrissur slang while delivering dialogues Overall- Its a clichéd movie and really disappointment me. I heard in recent interview of director that director forgot to say cut while seeing dulquer's emotional performance but i didn't see any such scene like that. Overall just watch it for dulquer and nothing new in this movie and it may disappoint some audience.

My rating- 2.5/5

When we think about movies directed by Sathyan Anthikad, the most striking aspects that pop into our minds are that of all of them barring a very few have the goodness factor visible in them and also the simplicity of the plot. The subjects giving stress for family values and relationships will have a social relevance in it. The background that Sathyan chooses to elaborate his plot will also be pretty much the same not for all but for a majority of his flicks.

These are all the attributes that make a Sathyan Anthikad movie a special one for the majority of the audience and more particularly for the family audience among whom the director and his films have a special place in their heart. Though off late, this fan base has eroded to an extent as a result of repetition in the treatment of the movies. Still, people seriously look forward to his films with much anticipation expecting a minimum level of entertainment.

Jomontay Suvisheshangal, the latest Sathyan Anthikad movie finally reaches the audience after all those incidents that were casting a bad shadow for our industry. This time its new generation actor Dulquer Salman the chosen one who is given the mantle to lead the film scripted by Iqbal Kuttipuram who was the scriptwriter for Oru Indian Pranayakatha which was also directed by Sathyan Anthikad.
