Each frames are well planned by the director, Music also plays an important role in conveying the stroy and effect of the movie, we too would go through various emotions as the story progresses

guppy is the only Malayalam movie that made feel complete recently, and I have no words other than superb! to describe master Chetan's and Tovino's acting. it was simply mind blowing. while watching this movie we can see each character has story behind then and that's why I decided to write my first review in IMDb for guppy.

This movie flew under the radar when it came out, but it's a lovely little tale on the human psyche without ever getting preachy or manipulative in its storytelling. The child actor Chetan brilliantly portrays growing pains of a boy who despite the tough lot life appears to have handed him, still manages to find love, laughter and fun in his surroundings. The tussle of wits that he engages in with the recently arrived engineer (Tovino) is the plot point, but it serves more as a window into exploring the souls and lives of these two disparate characters. Add some amazing cinematography into the mix and it's no wonder this is one of the best of the year

The movie is a really nice feel good movie. I really enjoyed it.

I was one of the lucky few who watched this jem at theatres.

I watched it simply because it was the next show upcoming when I went to a mall and wanted to kill some time. So I had no expectations and have not heard anything about the movie ( promotions sadly were almost non existing for this movie).

Boy was I blown away ! The score, music, script, acting, realistic and down to earth story !

Sad very few got to experience this in its full glory at theatres ( since the movie became a hit only after DVD came out )

The story revolves around a boy nicknamed as Guppy(a kind of fish) played by Chethan Jayalal. The movie invites us to travel through his life, his affection with his mother, friends and many more people who love him. With the introduction of the engineer(Tovino Thomas) into the plot, events take a turn. The main strength of this movie are its characters. They are like perfectly carved sculptures. Even the characters appearing in one or two scenes have their own importance. Music suits the process of story telling perfectly. The performances by all artists were excellent. The director(and writer) Johnpaul George should be appreciated for handling this story that glides through various emotions and situations with exceptional skill. "Guppy" makes you think, feel and will remain in your mind for quite some time.
