Little Hearts

Little Hearts Malayalam Movie Review.

Starring Shane Nigam, Babu Anthony directed jointly by Anto Jose Pereria, Aby Tressa Paul.

A film made leaving the heart of audience half satisfied.

The movie talks about three different love stories. First is the all-time seen done and dusted hero heroine romance, the second is a man who is in mid-50's a widower falls in love with a lady who is estranged from her husband & the final one is a gay couple romance.

From the above, only better which I felt is the love relationship between the widower and the lady but that too in another version we had seen in Dileep's earlier movie "Ishtam" (Love) wherein the protagonist father a widower accidentally meets his first love wherein love blossoms again in his heart and how they unite was all about that movie. When coming to "Little Hearts" we could see the film takes through a similar kind of journey but still watchable flick.

But the film fails to deliver anything new. Accepting of same sex relationship in a family bounded by the traditional values later with the time & situation accepting whole heartedly this had really become outdated & the movie fails in it.

Coming over to the performance, Shane Nigam had delivered a good performance. A boy next door image had been felt by watching his performance. Babu Anthony as Shane Nigam's performance had been portrayed as a comedy factor but some times that comedy had been felt as an overboard performance. Shine Tom Chacko's character was having an area of performance but he proved to be a miscast in this plot.

Overall Little Hearts is an underwhelming movie.

Little Hearts

A fun filled family drama set in a small town in Idukki.

The movie revolves around Sibi,his father Babychan and their near and dear ones and how Sibichan dealt with vulnerable circumstances that he faced.

The movie takes us through different relationship dynamics among few characters and the societies,families outlook on these relationships.

Director duos has succeeded in breaking the shell of Shane Nigam from a so called Kochi boy to a hilly localite. Shane has perfectly played his character 'Simple Sibi'. There are few hilarious moments with Shane and Baburaj in the movie. Calm and composed acting by Ramya Suvi,Maala Parvathi,Renji Panicker. It was very surprising to see Shine Tom Chacko playing a silent soft spoken character throughout the movie. Mahima portrayed Sibi's love interest Sosha in the movie and their combo worked out well along with Kailas Menon's tracks.

Director's placed the movie through a humorous track,lost traction towards interval and steadily gained momentum through the second half.

A small movie for family with a good message.

Rating - 3/5.

It beautifully weaves a powerful social message into its narrative, leaving a lasting impact. The combination of the captivating storytelling style and the mesmerizing music adds an extra layer of delight to the viewing experience. For those who experienced this cituations. Overall, it's a remarkable movie that resonates with its audience and delivers an enjoyable and heartfelt experience.

A pleasant watch this was. Loved the casting especially. Every character is so fresh so pleasant so apt and so beautiful. The director has shown the connection.

Everyone should watch this movie with friends and family .

Little Hearts is a beautiful, and one that can be packed home for a treat kind of film, which makes the viewer laugh aloud, flow alongside each characters, and feel right there within that film. The scenic beauty of kattappana captured perfectly, blended with the comedy, and served with the bits of love is such a treat.

Shane proved his ability to play a character he never played before, and making it crystal clear that he's up for everything. The simple Siby made it simple, so is Shossha

The son father duo is a bang on. The three worries Siby faced, and the unexpected one with Sharon made everyone curious.

Everyone played their roles perfectly.

Go grab your tickets.

A must watch.

Malayalam movies set in small villages with their unique set of problems are a genre in themselves, and this film falls into that category.

The story revolves around Simple Sibi, who makes everyone's life easier by finding clever ways to solve their issues. However, when he is caught in three love entanglements-one involving his father's love interest, another his own, and the third an unconventional love of someone he knows-he struggles to navigate the situation.

The story starts on a good note with fun banter between the father and son, extending to their innocent neighborhood. However, it begins to lose direction, leaving the audience disconnected. It gets back on track when the issues come to the forefront, but once everything is established, it falls apart due to poor writing. The plot was interesting and had all the ingredients for a fun, light-hearted watch, but the poor screenplay made it a disappointing experience.

Shane Nigam, as an actor, has done full justice to his role. He fully embodies the character and makes viewers root for him. Similarly, Baburaj has an interesting role and performs well. Mahima Nambiar, Renji Panicker, and Parvathi Malaa have limited screen time, but they are decent in their parts. Shine Tom Chacko, though with less screen presence, deserves commendation for choosing different subjects.

The album is good and fits the narrative perfectly. The serene setting of the movie makes it cinematically beautiful. The opening credit animation is creatively done and efficiently introduces the characters. The movie also addresses the LGBTIQA+ community in a sincere manner without stereotyping or exaggeration. Bringing such stories to the mainstream is commendable.

This would have been a good experience if the screenplay had been stronger, but unfortunately, it faltered there. If you miss this, you aren't missing anything great.
