Paapam Cheyyathavar Kalleriyatte

I am extremely impressed by the quality of cut-throat satire in Paapam Cheyyathavar Kalleriyatte (Let Sinners Repent) that takes potshots at a variety of things prevalent in modern (Christian) weddings and the dual-faced behaviour of the people involved and the things they do in the name of money.

There are plenty of LOL moments in here starting from the first frame which takes a very leisurely approach throughout the film, magnifying some of the best performances I have seen so far this year. I would even call the entire cast performance a triumph as the comedy manages to convey its flurry of messages loud and clear, aptly enhanced by good characterisation, smooth camera work, and engaging dialogues.

Nonetheless, it is let down by a shabby climax that could have been righter and unambiguous. Yet, this one gets my thumbs up. An absolute merriment, the 2 hours you will spend on this. Even better if you are against the pomp and circumstance involved in fat Indian weddings. TN.

(Watched and reviewing during its world television premiere on Asianet.)

The movie is an exaggerated version of the scenes that occur during a wedding in India, in a Keralan setting. It captures the essentials and presents it in a funny manner. It's a decent one time watch which presents a lot of social practices and associated ills related to a typical marriage. Even though the story goes places, the director has managed to hold it all together and put together a watchable movie. Definitely a good one time watch. The cast was also pretty good.

The movie is laggy and doesnt have any story.Just a marriage function and some relationships and some jokes but the climax was good.After the starting of 40 mins, i got exhausted to watch this one.At last i can say, i didnt liked this movie.

Let me begin by telling you the bitter truth on your face. This story revolves completely around one point. THERE IS NOT EVEN A SINGLE SOUL WHO HASN'T DONE ANYTHING WRONG IN ANY MANNER IN THIS WORLD EVER!!! This movie is a clear example of that. The plot clearly shows the other side of human nature behind the veil of riches, dignity, fame, family nme in the society etc... Kudos to the writer and director Shambhu Purushothaman who has clearly brought out the best from each and every character who has acted in the simple yet refreshing movie. Vinay Fort and Tini Tom compliment each other very well...Srinda, as the irritating wife has done an excellent job.Not to forget a special mention on Santhy and Alancier's roles who have displayed effortless acting skills. The topic of this movie is something we are all aware of but brush it aside lest it ruffles our already set lifestyle. Looking forward to more of such stories from Shambhu.

Let me warn you. This is not everyone's cup of tea. You'll probably end up hating this movie. I liked it anyway except for that crappy climax. There were lot of hilarious moments but they are scattered here and there. If the script was better, the movie could've been quite good. Watch it if you've got nothing else to do.
