Prince and Family

"Prince and Family" is a true entertainer that kicks off with fun from the very beginning. Dileep is back doing what he does best-making us laugh out loud. It's been a long time since his comedy made me laugh this much.

One of the big highlights is the combination of Dileep and director Jhonny Antony. In many films, I've felt Jhonny Antony sometimes misses the mark, but here, he is used perfectly. The comic timing between the two is spot-on, and it keeps the film moving at a lively pace.

Dileep's strength in expressional comedy truly stands out. The way he handles those moments-nobody else quite does it like him.

The second half shifts gears with full energy. It boldly mocks the entire YouTube influencer culture while staying socially relevant. There's a strong message about the dangers of modern social media behaviour, which is woven smartly into the storyline.

It's not all laughs, though-the emotional scenes in the second half work really well. The lead actress takes full control during this part of the film and proves she's a strong performer. Her presence adds depth to the movie.

While the story takes the lead more than the performances, everyone in the cast brings their best. And once again, just like in Jana Gana Mana, Sharif Mohammed comes through with a story that has solid social relevance.

With a good balance of humour and message, Prince and Family is definitely worth watching.

"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.

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.
