Malayalee from India

The first half was laborious! Everything is a cliche situation, rolling in one after another. There is no twist to be expected. The story basically flows like many before, and once you understand the direction, you know what to expect.

There is an attempt to establish the timeline, to take advantage of the "lockdown"! Even that seemed very contrived. Also the "aadujevitham", where they trying to make this a pun??

Finally Malala !! Oh my god, they trans navigated the globe and had nothing to say, or rather didn't say it in an interesting way.

Very few performances stand out. There was nothing in the script to do. Sad. I wasted 3hrs of my time.

I don't know what they were trying to do with the movie. Other people in the industry are trying new concepts and styles and it felt like the writer and director are still stuck in the 6th century AD. Me as a viewer, is not interested in this topic anymore. Nivin was good. And that song felt like one of those fake photoshoots which pops up during Christmas and Onam(papanji+sanyasi+ustad). The two halves of the movie felt disconnected. My request to the writer is to try something new. Not all movies have to be about politics, people get frustrated by watching this over and over again. And I went in without watching the trailer, all the other promo videos were very misleading.

*** Malayalee From India Malayalam Movie Review ***

Directed by Dijo Jose Anthony starring Nivin Pauly, Dhyan Sreenivasan in the lead role.

Plot of the Movie.

Nivin Pauly plays the character name Alaparambil Gopi, an irresponsible man who is always a nuisance to his family. A night when an unforeseen incident Gopi needs to fleed away from his place & shifts to Dubai but his life changes. How & what is that impact in Gopi's life is all about the movie.

Movie Analysis.

1) Nivin Pauly factor is the main highlight of the movie. His natural comic performance makes the movie watchable.

2) Dhyan Sreenivasan also adds a cherry to the movie. Expected a full-time screen presence with Nivin which did not happen and made me disappointed.

3) Overall, the movie talks of the brotherhood between Hindu & Muslim which in today's time more than an awareness it has become a reminder which does not needs to be reminded.

4) In second half the duration could have been trimmed as at one point it was like a kind of detachment but again as mentioned Nivin's screen presence brought us back.

5) In second half, the artist portraying the rule of a Pakistani had beautifully performed.

6) Able to witness the a Bhajarangi Bhaijaan & GOAT LIFE comic version in this.

Overall, a repeated told topic but with Nivin Pauly we could able to sustain at the big screen for 2.40 Hours.

This movie is actually a good movie,I won't say it's great but it's premises the way it discusses politics, Strong dialogues and also the degradation shows how the msg has actually got through these specific people... The movie is mostly centralised on the character by Nivin known as Aalparambil Gopi... And he does deliver a stellar performance as the character and uplifts the movie.. Dhyan sreenivasan was also good but he was not having that much of a role along with anaswara... Overall the movie discusses the poltics related to religion and the indo-pak problems in a satirical way... I won't say it's the perfect movie out there...There are flaws in screenplay and script...But it as a whole is a very good movie and doesn't deserve the degradation that it has been receiving... Also the Pakistani guy was really good and his daughter too.. They all performed well.. It is a nice movie to spend time in theatres and it won't disappoint you if you are a neutral movie viewer... I would give it a 8/10.. Also don't expect something like Jana gana Mana cuz the way that things are handled are in a different manner... The music by Jakes Bejoy was also nice especially the background musics which uplifted various scenes..

Amazing movie ,Acting, Story plot .Comedy worked well and surely I can say this is nivin Pauly comeback movie of this year. We need to support this film as we supported manjummel boys , Aavesham and aadujevatham. Then only malayalam cinema will go up surely tamil audience will love this film Nivin acting and comedy is adipoli I'm sure his upcoming movies will have a huge responses from audience. The film explains about the friendship doesn't required caste religion and languages only love I'd enough to understand eachother the concept of the story is good and climax is heart touching. Nivin performed well.
