Pachuvum Athbutha Vilakkum

If Fahadh Faasil is in it, I watch the movie because I know it won't be that bad of a script. Found Pachuvum Athbutha Vilakkum on Amazon Prime and started watching it.

It's a 2.5-hour-long movie, but you won't be disappointed at the end. A very simple narrative of a Malayali guy living in Mumbai who wants to make it big. Things change when he accidentally returns to Kerala, and the story unfolds.

The first half was quite slow, but it had some beautiful comic relief. Fahadh portrayed these roles remarkably, where he acts a bit dumb but tries to be smart to get what he wants.

The movie's length is long because there are too many characters, and everyone has a story to tell. So at times, it does get a bit convoluted. However, the second half was definitely more enjoyable, and you really want to see what happens at the climax.

It's definitely a film you can watch with your family. There's a beautiful message about female education and dealing with personal losses, except it ends on a positive note.

Honestly, the Malayalam industry has made too many comedy-dramas like this too often. In fact, it reminded me of Fahadh's previous film "Njan Prakashan," which also follows the same recipe of some comedy, a bit of tragedy, but a happy ending.

If you can spare 2.5 hours for a film, Pachuvum Athbutha Vilakkum is worth a watch. 7/10 for me.

Good one to watch with family this summer.

Personally, I am impressed by the story, direction, acting and certainly dialogues.

No extra ordinary scenes or superhuman acts, it is just plain plot well-grounded to be accepted by the audience irrespective of the age and class.

Although I could hear people laughing in the theatre at almost every bit of dialogue, I felt that's a bit far-fetched. The story does entertain you and there are humour-filled dialogues and scenes, but surely not as hilarious as one might think.

We all know how brilliant an actor Fahadh is. At the same time I am totally happy for the role essayed by Vineeth.

RATED 7/10 language: Malayalam Source: Amazon Prime

The simple scene sequences and simple characters are the best part of this movie... at the same time the characters changes their colour abruptly throughout the movie, this one issue reduces the authenticity of the movie...

There are lot of Fahad moments and his presence felt from the beginning to end. With great cast and acting, there is still something missing... There are too many characters and side stories, which makes the main story also like another side story...

The kid swamy and grandma are awesome...Fahad did multiple times similar roles... One time watchable...

Pachuvum Albuthavilakkum is a feel good movie that can be watched with family, and is very much inline or similar to Sathyan Anthikkad films. When it comes to Sathyan Anthikkad films, especially over the last decade, we know not to expect a gripping and strong storyline, but to get introduced to different characters whom we meet during different phases of their lives. This movie is no different and the son doesn't try anything new other than may be starting the story with Mumbai as backdrop and not Chennai :)

The movie has many light moments and Fahadh Fasil and the other artists have done a great job portraying the characters assigned to them. The movie takes a turn when Paachu (Fahadh) meets Ummachi (Viji Venkatesh) and from there the movie becomes predictable and a bit dragging. But Akhil has been able to keep the audience engaged by adding in elements of emotions and comedy at right pace. Few scenes from the movie can be hand-picked that really left an emotional connect and made the viewers relate to the characters. The movie also makes people think the purpose of their lives and about the unending desire to make more money. The songs are well suited for the situation and completes the movie as in numerous Sathyan Anthikkad films.

Please step in for this movie without expectations and you'll have the satisfaction of having laughed while at the same time thinking deeply about various stages and desires of life.

Yeah! A movie worth ENJOYING at the big screen for all kind of audience, after a long time in Mollywood. An awesome feel-good movie filled with humor.

Fahadh is brilliant with his script selection in recent years! Him being phenomenal as usual and supported by the fantastic performance of others(especially the child & grandma), the cast is just perfect. The performances of Vineeth and Anjana are also to be noted. Each one of them has put out their best for it. The craftsman Akhil Sathyan has done a brilliant job with the wonderful story(written by himself) and in engaging the audience with all the emotions a movie can convey. In fact, I loved it more than the spectacular "Njan Prakashan".

There are a few scenes that relates very much to our lives, that could really make us emotional. The dialogues are explicit and plays a key role in making the movie this much gripping. The film is a little bit lengthy, which is NOT AT ALL a negative factor, but blesses us with more moments to enjoy this beautiful piece of art.

This is a not-to-miss-in-theatre movie, amazing experience.
