Prince and Family

Rating - 3.25/5

A decent family entertainer throwing light on a sensitive topic in this status quo.

The plot of the story is about Prince,a boutique owner in his mid 30's with a long manifestation of getting married lands into a family life which turns his personal,social and professional life into a rollercoaster ride.

Binto Stephen & Sharis Mohammed has blended family emotions,humour,fun and laughter in the story in perfect proportion and has brought out a good one time family watch. A few sequences that initiated before the intermission felt a bit awkward initially but later turns out to be an essential flavour when considering the story as a core. Binto has crafted the story and perfectly highlighted on the negative influence of social media addiction on personal and family lives. As a debut filmmaker he has succeeded in bringing a good family subject hooking the right emotions giving the audience a trace for reflecting on our personal lives.

Decent performance by Dileep in the movie as Prince and conveyed the emotions and dialogues as demanded by the character. Manju Pillai has given a standalone performance in the movie through her dialogue rendering and emotions. Notable performances by Sidhique,Bindu Panicker,Raniya,Johny Antony,Dhyan,Josekutty & Vijay Jacob.

Good work by Renadive & SagarDass for bringing a perfect family entertainer by Dileep after a long gap. Kudos to Sameera Saneesh for bringing Dileep in his best form.

A good family entertainer as promised by Listin leaving a thoughtful message.

This is a well-crafted Malayalam film that skillfully blends humor with meaningful commentary, offering both entertainment and food for thought. Its sharp take on modern digital culture-particularly the obsession with likes, followers, and online fame-strikes a nerve. The film portrays how some vloggers, in the absence of virtual validation or "smart money," lose their sense of humanity and spiral into toxic behavior. This bold and honest depiction likely explains why many YouTube channels and influencers have chosen not to promote it-it holds up an unflinching mirror to their world. Even though the film includes a few mildly suggestive dialogues, they are far from vulgar, making it a movie that can be comfortably enjoyed with family in a theater setting.

Dileep delivers one of his better performances in recent years, portraying a character that is both humorous and heartfelt. His acting feels more grounded and emotionally rich compared to his recent outings, which makes this film stand out in his filmography.

The story revolves around the lives of social media influencers, shedding light on the toxic culture of certain vlog creators and the damaging impact they can have on common people's lives. It's a timely and relevant subject, and the film handles it with the right balance of humor and seriousness.

The lead actress deserves special mention for her strong and convincing performance. The supporting cast and technical crew have also done a commendable job in bringing the film together.

While the background music (BGM) does its part in enhancing the emotional scenes, the songs unfortunately fall short, being below average and forgettable.

Despite that, "Prince and Family" is definitely a good watch, especially for family audiences. It blends comedy and emotion effectively and offers a meaningful take on modern-day issues. Compared to Dileep's recent releases, this film is certainly a refreshing improvement.

"Prince and Family" is a heartwarming combination of comedy, emotion, and light action, placed in a vibrant fantasy world that revolves around a royal family dealing with contemporary issues with conventional values. The movie is about the character Prince, an odd but charming young prince of royal birth, who is torn between his royal duties and the yearnings for freedom and love. It is what makes the movie stand out that its heartwarming view of family relationships and the conflicts between generational differences and differing ideals.

The story is straightforward yet absorbing with a good measure of humor and sentimentalism. The acting is genuine, and the lead performer endears himself to the viewer with his natural on-screen presence and sense of humor. The supporting actors, including members of the royal family, bring diversity and depth to the narrative, each playing their own part in the emotional journey of the movie. Visually, the movie is full of color and brings out the majesty of life royal, but keeps the narrative earthy and accessible.

All in all, "Prince and Family" is a clean film that provides comedy, lessons learned, and good-feeling moments, making it a great choice for a family night in. It's not a masterwork of cinema, but it triumphs with its heart.
