Thinkalazhcha Nishchayam

Thinkalazhcha Nishchayam is a good satirical take on the patriarchal system through the lens of an arranged marriage. The character development is so good that you feel for each and every character although all their objectives are drastically different. The film veers towards drama, but the director expertly uses comedy to once again get you back into a light watching experience. A lot of scenes evoke surprise and brings new cast or a different method of storytelling, but it all flows and works. A commendable attempt and a fun watch.

It's a very simple and we'll crafted film that is filled with excellent acting moments backed by great screenplay. I was waiting for this movie to release ever since i saw that funny trailer.this is one of the movies that goes beyond satisfying your expectations. I am glad that i got to watch this masterpiece. Kudos to the entire team.

The highlight of thinkalaazcha nischayam is its casting. There is not even a single familiar face(and don't know whether we will see any of them in any mainstream malayalam film in future), but all of them suited their roles perfectly.

Direction is in lines of dileesh pothan films. When the climax was about to be preachy, a fun twist was brought to make it a feel good ending. And the mid credit scene was hilarious.

On the whole, thinkalaazcha nischayam is one of the best comedy films in malayalam recently.

Top notch performances from every single cast.

Perfect blend of language and landscape.

Excellent screenplay and direction.

Wonderful world building in a simple narrative.

Thinkalazhcha Nishchayam (Engagement is On Monday) starts, fires some truth bombs through a comical setting with an upcoming wedding ceremony as the backdrop, and ends. To make such a wholesome satire requires brilliant writing, and that is where the film shines. Each and every dialogue uttered by each and every character is worth pondering upon. And it's not like the characters are in the side line. You relate with each one of them like they are your own relatives back in Kerala. While many of these dialogues will give you a chuckle, it's those towards the end that make the message clear. Add tour de force of performances by a fresh cast and you have the laugh riot and social film of the year. Watch it.
