My family can relate to this movie. After going through so much in the early life we are prepared for anything or anyone. who should we bond, when and how to bond. Noticing the true forgiveness with change not forced upon. One person can change the climate in a family positively or negatively. Boldness and courage is the key but with respect, standing up to anyone especially to the person close to you. Physical abuse might work in india, but not in the 🇺🇸. Either way I can't raise my hands

Vatsalyam (1993) : Brief Review -

A Pure Tearjerker. Emotional Family Dramas don't get better than this, THEY JUST DON'T! They just get converted into Melodramatic Daily-soaps. I won't say that Vatsalyam has some great script or something you haven't seen before, no, it's just same old stuff we have been watching since forever in Family Dramas. But there is a way of storytelling, keeping it pure, emotional, positive and dignified throughout and that's where many Family Dramas turn into high end MELODRAMA. Till 60s it was okay but thereafter it became typical and boring. Vatsalyam is same stuff served again in new plate with different recipe. Raghavan, a farmer, devotes his life to ensure that his brother Vijayakumaran gets educated. But with time and under the influence of his rich wife, Vijayakumaran ends up destroying all relationships. For Hollywood, this genre means something else than Indian cinema because the sentiments are varied by culture. Their Family dramas used society standards, war effects and sometimes even racism but for Indian Cinema the best formula has always been making the protagonist look Generous, Kind Hearted so that we can generate feelings him. Vatsalyam is very good in that. It keeps the main character very generous and kind and even his wife looks damn supportive. Unlike other films which had that typical death scene or happy reconciliation or return to home in the climax, Vatsalyam finds something new for its time. One can even guess a lot from its title only. Mammootty as Raghavan is terrific. Not just his acting but the writing of his character is also damn too good. Geetha plays his wife whom you just can't hate, not even for a moment. Rest of the cast is fine too. Thanks to Cochin Haneefa for using the same cliches in modern ways and making me cry for almost 5-6 times through the film. Overall, a Mainstream Classic.

RATING - 8/10*

I've seen this movie before when I was a kid but watching it again, like darn, I cry everytime. It's so sad and Mammootty makes it even worse for me (in a good way) because his acting is amazing! His character is literally the sweetest and the fact that the people around him takes advantage of what they have made me so mad. I know that this happens irl too which makes me even madder lol. Besides Mammootty and his wife, I hated everyone else (I mean the characters cos they were made to be so unlikeable) especially Siddique's wife who I just wanted to beat up. Which was the whole point but I just pitied Mammootty so much-the plot, the acting were all on point.

One of the best Malayalam movie i watched.. Don't miss it

Such a good story Mammootty acting is very good and emotional scence oh heart touch sidhikk als good acting GOOD FAMILY MOVIE.

Mammukka at his best. These are one of those movies you grow up watching which will always have a special place in heart. The film is based on a family which relies on farming for a living. Mammukka is the elder brother and pillar of the family. He is a family man having a wife and 2 children, and takes care of his mother, brother and sisters. Sidhique his brother becomes a advocate and from there the film becomes more sentimental and makes us realize the value of relationships, and what it could do to your whole family if one person is wrong. The dialogues and characterization of each and every person was great with a direction that conveys the emotions to the viewer. A Must watch Movie.
