Thattathin Marayathu

Rating... 8.5/10 At heart, director Vineet Sreenivasan is a musician first and like his soft songs, every scene and line in the movie is rendered with a youthful symphony pleasing to the soul. Perhaps even more praiseworthy is the way he has brought out the best in everyone including the child artists.

Protagonist Nivin Pauly has delivered a good performance and his compatriots in the movie fit well into their characters. This bunch of next gen molly-wood actors show promise. Isha Talwar is beautiful and has the makings of a future Katrina Kaif... And that means exactly what u think it does :) She has few scenes where any acting is warranted and even fewer lines, perhaps because her lip movements are out of sync with the Malayalam lines, to do justice -a language that is foreign to her.

The music is wonderful, but you probably already new that. The story delivers its message subtly without compromising on entertainment.

Its been a while since I have seen a good portrayal of young love in Malayalam cinema... This one was definitely worth the wait.

TATTATTHIN MARAYATHU REVIEW At last Malayali's have learned to 'tolerate' a love story.Vineeth promised just a nice feel after leaving the theater.Yes he has given that feel.This film doesn't comes under epic romance movies like 'Namukku Parkkan Munthiri Thoppukal', 'Sallapam','Azhakiya Ravanan' or even 'Niram'.Still it gives us that feel. SCRIPT:Story is a predictable ,simple love story.,yet we will feel some suspenses.Dialogues are well written.The author communicated his views through some striking dialogs.,like.Love is always Painkili.,Vineeth tried hard to keep up the standard.,as we all know Malayalam is a bad language for love.Talassery slang is heard first time in ,alayalam films,Its happy to hear something Malabari.The biggest gift of Vineeth is his sense of humor.He sees humor in a different way.Entry of Kurudi really rocked.Script has some flaws,some unwanted scenes like the one in hospital and party office. DIRECTION:Vineeth has improved very much.He has become a class director now.Some scenes are out of the world.Waiting for Aisha near Che Guevara poster is the best scene.,i will say. ACTING:Outstanding acting by Nivin Pauly.Mollywood has got a new talent.'Marich Abhinayikkika Ennoke Kettitte Ullu'.80% of the film is his scenes,It would have been a disaster if doomed it.Isha didn't had anything to do., But she stunned us with her ravishing beauty.Aju,Bagath,and Santhosh did well. TECHNICAL:I got the front raw seat.Couldn't able to visualize the movie.I think camera was good.However Joemon captured Isha Talwar's beauty. SONGS AND BGM:Vineeth should use a good music director for songs and stop writing songs himself.All sons except Muthichippi bored me.BGM was cool. Its not a must watch movie.,but If u wanna feel the love for 2 hours.,It will be a nice experience RATING:7.5/10

Hindu youth Vinod has a chance encounter with Aisha, niece of a powerful Muslim political leader, Abdul Khader, and falls in love. The movie starts mid-story, with the hero being jailed for trespassing into Abdul Khader's property to see Aisha. The story unfolds as narrated by Vinod to the Sub Inspector. The soul of the movie is how Vinod explores his feelings for Aisha, and tries to see how she would fit into his life. The style of narration is the revised, youth-centered, casual form that is becoming increasingly popular in Malayalam movies; it's the shifting of gear to a new era.

However, as far as the plot goes, it is simple, cute, and pleasant, but not novel. There is absolutely nothing new in the story. I have been getting rave reviews about the movie, and went in expecting something fresh. It's not. It's enjoyable enough, but simply doesn't have enough content.

So, I was overwhelmed by the response of this movie and decided to watch it. I usually don't watch Romantic movies and this one reminded me why.

Well, the plot is typical. You add an inter-caste factor and publish the story in a 21st century where the girl and boy both don't own a mobile phone. The hype created was too much for this average movie. This type of movie can only gain success to people who have not watched epics from Hollywood & Bollywood. Or French cinema, for that matter!

Vineet Srinivasan is very clever at grabbing the attention of cinema- goers who are bored by the usual remakes and boring slapstick.

Bottom line, this movie does not have much to offer with sporadic jokes and lack of panache!

I rate it 5 for the comedy part and Nivin Pauly's performance. Isha Talwar has dialogues equal to that of a cameo appearance by Srinvasan.

BADS: Disappointing! Clichéd! Hyped!

GOODS: Enjoyable! Romantic! Adorable & Funny!

Ideally, one should have no perception of the movie before starting off watching it. But I held one - this movie is made by a very young director Vineeth Sreenivasan and hence the movie would reflect inexperience. Well, that anticipation helped. It was better than the anticipation.

The best part of the movie was Ayesha and her beauty. Nivin pauly has acted well and has captured the head-over-heels-in-love endearingly.

The movie is sprinkled with songs all along and that adds to the general feel-good of the movie.In fact, movie is all feel-goods and not much of a story.

There were some good humor scenes too. Abdu as Vinod's friend has done a good job. The audience shared good laughs through out the movie.

However, I am not sure how to explain such huge success that the movie has claimed. It is a soother and a nice one - good job Vineeth.
