Life of Josutty

Josutty(Dileep) narrates his story throughout the film with a voiceover where he lives in kattapanna with his family consisting of his father(Hareesh peradi), mother, sister and brother in law(suraj) and a younger sister(krishnaprabha). He has a love interest jessy(rachana narayankutty) who he had to sacrifice due to his financial problems. One day, his schoolteacher (sasi kalinga) offers him a marriage proposal of a divorcee girl named rose(jyothi) who works as a nurse in new Zealand and tells him that this marriage would solve his financial issues. To save his family from the debts, he agrees for the wedding and after few months, he leaves to new Zealand. Rest of the movie is how josutty transforms into a simple and innocent villager into a successful NRI.

Dileep as Josutty in the beginning repeats his kunjaadu act in a lite manner, but later gives a mature performance towards the end. Hareesh peradi was brilliant as the nanmamaram dad. Chempil ashokan as josutty's friend in new zealand was also good. The cinematography and locations of kattapanna in first half and new zealand in second half are very good.

The first half has some situational comedy which was pretty good. The second half where the story shifts to new zealand has some fish out of water comedy but none works. The film goes on a serious note when josutty gets seperated from rose a🙏most of the proceedings at that time turns melodramatic. Length is also another issue. Also the climax, with nayanthara's cameo looked convoluted.

On the whole, life of josutty is a long and melodramatic fictional autobiography which was saved by jeethu joseph's direction, cinematography and locations.

Life of Josutty sometimes reminds me of the serials we have. But Jeethu Joseph's frames have always been mediocre at best in the absence of someone like Sujith Vasudev. And his staging isn't so good.

I loved the story. A story of someone poor becoming successful have always been one of my favorites. Most of the cast did a decent job. But Dileep nailed it. May be because of the lack of popularity, Dileep's portrayal of Josutty is often overlooked.

Yes, the movie has a lot of flaws. But it's still has some soul. Watch it for the story and Dileep's performance.

Much expectations from Jeethu Joseph after 'drishyam' wasted...If you want to see some parts of NewZeleand ,then the second half of the movie will help you out.Also in first half too some village sceneries like in 'drishyam'.In first half director filled some comedy moments using 'pashanamshaji','dilips' role somewhat similar to 'merikkundorukunjad'.Second half is so disgusting.I wonder why 'NayanTara' came for a cameo role here..I would appreciate the viewers in theater for the mess If you have no other movies to watch, do watch it else don't take the risk I warn Expecting one good movie from 'jeethujoseph'

A neat movie. Feel good Film. Very nice script and superb acting. I like this movie very much. Life of Josutty was nice to see in which the emotions and relationships were well scripted with cool visuals.
