A watchable movie with some humour. Provides a de-addictive motivation to youngsters addicted to smoking. Not having any rememberable story. Can be watched for a time pass.

Last 30 minutes should be censored, bcoz that 30 mins was very boring.overall film not bad.lot of comedy scenes are there to enjoy. It is an ordinary film , no any speciality.climax disappointed

Feel good movie , worth watching . you don't need to be a Tovino fan to watch this , he acted with ease and comfortable

A simple and straightforward movie for those who want to relax.. Watch it, enjoy it and relax... and you will forget it soon.

Watched it after hearing lot of positive reviews. A decent movie for time pass. There are some nice laughs here and there. Felt the climax too predictable and simple; could have been made more interesting. Overall, a nice entertainer.

Its over rated movie. Tovinoa acting was good. Nothing more than that. i can give 6/10

I would say Tovino's movies started giving a minimum guarantee. Nothing special about the movie but certainly it is well directed and everyone's actions looks so real. At the end of the day Theevandi gives a good message about harmful about of smoking. I don't think anyone will quit smoking after watching this movie, but will be able to pass a message to the society.

A different attempt which satisfies everyone.It gives a very good feel. Career best performance by Tovino

Fellini TP's Theevandi reignites my faith in Malayalam cinema, the same way Sethu's Oru Kuttanadan Blog (2018) diminishes it. The degree of novelty in Fellini's approach as well as writer Vini Vishwa Lal's writing is laudable as they superimpose a stark social issue hampering the Indian youth's lifestyle and future into a light story that is politically powered to attract its main audience (Keralites). The makers got me when they added an explicit reference to the dangerous Blue Whale Challenge game somewhere in the second half and I was floored. The super talented Tovino Thomas stars as a young, jobless man who gets up in the morning so that he can smoke through the day. He has no regard for his loved ones and treats them like the butts of the cigarettes that he smokes like he's making passionate love with those slender cylinder-like structures. Thomas and his co-stars act like Theevandi is their final film, as Fellini comes out with a cardboard message about the cons and only cons of tobacco consumption. Watching Theevandi and the collection of refreshing jokes and local and social references is a treat, which makes it a great watch despite the predictability of the plot, and the unneeded gimmick at the end. It's a film that everyone should watch and then recommend it to people who smoke. As a second-hand smoker, watching so many people smoke so many cigarettes throughout the 130 minutes gave me a bit of cancer scare.

Bad movie i ever seen some overhype on movies some comedies are good but movie is not goog script my opinion is underrated..

Bineesh is a heavy smoker who can't give up smoking despite trying several times. This leads to his breakup with his fiancée, Devi, and conflict with her father. Due to the absence of the political party leader his brother-in-law supports, Devi's father is easily selected as the next candidate. However, due to the objection of Bineesh's brother-in-law, Devi's father challenges Bineesh to quit smoking until their human chain project starts. If he succeeds, his brother-in-law will be the next candidate. The two agree, and as part of the plan, Bineesh's brother-in-law traps Bineesh on an island with no cigarettes. The film revolves around how Bineesh tries to overcome his addiction and the challenges that arise from attempting to abandon smoking.

The collaborative performances of the entire cast, the story, cinematography, editing, VFX, production design, and music are the best aspects of the film.

In my first encounter with Tovino Thomas, his acting was decent, though not a masterclass. However, he was committed to his character both physically and mentally. Still, he was brilliant as required by the script. Samyuktha Menon also acted well. Although the script didn't give significant impact to her character, she shines in her limited screen time. Apart from the leads, the rest of the cast delivered collaborative performances, having a similar impact as the two leads. Normally, in films, only the lead actors are highlighted. But here, the supporting cast provided strong support to the script through their wholesome performances. A shout-out goes to the supporting cast: Suraj Venjarammoodu, Sudheesh Surabhi Lakshmi, Saiju Kurup, Rajesh Sharma, Vijilesh Karayad, Neena Kurup, and Mini K. S.

The pace of the film is appropriate, and it didn't feel boring for a single minute. Fellini T. P. appropriately built the main theme of the film, 'chain smoker,' through dramatic, sentimental, and most importantly, humorous moments. He effectively built the right space for Tovino Thomas to portray a heavy smoker. The film is presented as an appealing commercial story with the underlying theme of the social issue of 'smoking.' The dialogues were natural and rustic, but not particularly remarkable. The character development of Bineesh is one of the key elements of the film. His journey from being a heavy smoker, who initially faced disputes over quitting, to deciding to stop smoking on his own without external support, is a notable aspect. And the use of the ashtray as a symbolic object to display Bineesh's growth is also commendable. The climax was unanticipated until the very end, though guessable just before it. However, it is a very inspiring and satisfying climax.

The cinematography employs diverse lighting techniques, from dramatic low-key and stylized colored lighting in interiors and night scenes to natural daylight across expansive landscapes and intimate close-ups. Production design effectively creates distinct settings, including rustic dwellings, natural environments like beaches and backwaters, urban passages, and interiors, occasionally featuring impactful, symbolic props. Visual effects have been utilized for enhancing atmospheric elements. Makeup seems primarily standard for actor presentation and managing shine across different lighting conditions. The editing was creatively smooth, especially in scenes where Devi slaps Bineesh on several occasions, which were presented rapidly. And the visual representation of the sun gradually rising from the darkness on the island was captivating.

The music by Kailas Menon was terrific in both soundtrack and background score. The song 'Jeevamshamayi' by Shreya Ghoshal and K. S. Harisankar was particularly loved, though connection with other songs was less strong. Nevertheless, all the music was well-fitted to the film's atmosphere, in terms of both composition and lyrics. The background score smoothly elevated the story. Sound design was also good.

While 'Theevandi' is a feel-good film with immense comedy, drama, and romance. The best thing about it is that while other films might just make you feel good, this one makes you feel good and simultaneously delivers an important message about quitting smoking by smoothly presenting its consequences from the main character's point of view.

In summary, 'Theevandi' is a feel-good Malayalam film with a significant message. If you are a heavy smoker and yet can't abandon it, just watch this right now.

Too stretched. Not at all interesting. There is no connection between smoking and politics. Besides, the smoking thing shown in the movie is too irritating. You will lose interest from interval onwards.

A movie about a smoker trying to break out of his habit as he stands to lose everything he loves. That's the premise of this movie.

Tovino plays the title role. A non stop smoker who whiles away time with his friends is faced with the task of quitting smoking to save the love of his life. The setting is a typical village with some local politics as well as typical characters. Suraj plays Madhuettan who is Devi's (Tovino's love interest) father. He has a good role in the movie which he does well. Samyukta Menon as Devi also does well. While the story starts of well, the ending is abrupt and leaves with lot of questions.

There is some comedy but It's not a laugh riot. Safar is a character who is fun and so is Shwanan. Libash and Suseej are the other main side kicks.

This movie has couple of kissing scenes which is very heartening to see. Mollywood is moving in the right direction.

Even though I am not a fan of Tovino, he did a very good job in this movie. All the cast was good. Suraj was outstanding. Watch it for good memorable moments.

I watched the movie today and it was really superb. Tovino's acting is extremely good and the character really suits him. This film has a message for us.I am now eagerly waiting for his next film.

A normal movie with overhyped reviews.Nothing special or outstanding to watch for. Not a must watch movie if you have other options go for that.Avoidable better wait for 3-4 months it shall be seen in mini screen.

'Theevandi' has been scripted by Vini Vishwa Lal, the writer behind 'Second Show' and 'Koothara'. T.P Fellini's directorial debut does borrow vibes from those two films. The film talks about the birth, adolescence, and adulthood of Bineesh - who arrives into the world as a stillborn but quickly responds to cigarette smoke, a habit (or rather an addiction) he picks up as he grows older.

The first half boasts excellent writing and direction, supplemented by a crackling performance from Tovino. There are scenes involving Bineesh and his cronies sneaking into a dilapidated house to take their first drags and the silliness that follows in school. A few laugh-out-loud moments ensue. The love-angle, though half-baked, is cute. Samyuktha Menon does her heroine job quite okay.

Also, as in the other two films written by VVL, a horde of supporting characters are present in 'Theevandi' as well. Saiju Kurup was the best (and funniest) of the lot, while a restrained Suraaj comes a close second. Considering how well Tovino pulls off the high-school days, his second-half act comes across as a bit lacking. Not doubting the performer that he is, it's the writing that lets him down.

The 'Blue Whale' and 'Sierra Leone' human-chain angles in the second half seemed a little out of place though. Amid all this, the writer tries hard to justify the fact that it's a film with a 'stop smoking' message by raising the stakes for Bineesh's smoking addiction. The conclusion? Too vague, sudden, and unimpressive! The supposed 'twist' at the end also doesn't add much. But that doesn't deter 'Theevandi' from being a 100% feel-good flick. 'Theevandi' might be the much-needed breather that you need after a hectic week!

Enjoy it for what it is, but you'll be a little disappointed that there's not much to chew on after the film draws to a close, considering the interesting concept and the wacky first half.

Director's inexperience,lack of good script,usual comedy's. In my opinion,its just an average film. Story & script really want to improve a lot
