Ittymaani: Made in China

Totally disappointed with the screenplay of this movie. The performance of all the actors/actress is below par, except Siddique.

I gave it 1 because i found no option for a zero. Now if anybody asks me which is the worst movie you have watched, i will say ittymaani. I couldn't believe what i watched, not in a good sense but in a very bad sense. Mohanlal is a legendary actor. I am an admirer of Mohanlal's acting,it was sad to see him this way. Since odiyan something happened to his face. Normally expressions just flow naturally for him. I hope he come back with his natural face like before odiyan. Now it seems like only big budget movies like lucifer suits him not the down to earth simple characters. The movie was torture any way. Siddique was the only relief.

Ittymaani Made in China is Mohanlal's latest offering in family/comedy genre. Mohanlal was as good as always as Ittymaani but he couldn't save the movie because of weak script and poor direction. The first half of the movie opens okay with a few comedy elements but the second half is so cliche and utterly boring. Ittymaani Made in China gives some good messages but as a movie, it is a forgettable one.

A standard Mohanlal film would involve the main lead acting as an outsider and the story would follow with the hero trying to solve a family's problems. The same old Mohanlal film story has been repeated in this film which we have seen in movies like Drama, Odiyan, Vismayathumbathu or Aaraam Thampuraan and many such films. The Chinese angle of the film, even if it was the main part of the film, proved to be a deterrent in the flow of the film. Mohanlal and the supporting cast enacted there parts well but the cliches shown makes it a strict one time watch.

"Ittymani " Malayalam movie, with a tag line.... 'Made in China'

Storyline is about Ittymani who was born and had his childhood in China, came to Kunnamkulam to have a flourishing business of 'duplicate' items. He bargains for commission for everything, including his mother's gallstones surgery. Unmarried middle aged gentleman, is handy for the society and the parish.

A great social message is conveyed through the movie.. 'aged parents are not taken care nor welcomed by their siblings'. Even though the message is strong, the script is weak, screenplay is pathetic. The Superstar Mohanlal, nor the 'star armamentarium' KPAC Lalitha, Radhika, Aju Varghese, Dharmajan, Hareesh... no body could save the plot. They all worked hard to save this sinking ship. Comics felt flat or below the belt. Dialogues were repeatition from old movies.

Onam release.. ? Sub standard.

5.5 on 10, movie for a 'die hard fan' of Mohanlal.

Debutant directors should have been more careful with the script and screenplay. Heavyweight social message delivered in a 'flat scale'
