Movie Review: "Appatha"

Date: July 30, 2023

"Appatha" is a Tamil movie that I had the pleasure of watching on a lazy Sunday afternoon, and it left a lasting impression on me. The film's calm and soothing atmosphere, coupled with its heartwarming story, left me with a good feeling that lingered even after the credits rolled.

One of the highlights of the movie was the exceptional performance by Urvashi Mam. It's truly remarkable to know that "Appatha" marks her 700th movie, and she delivered an outstanding portrayal in this film. Her talent and dedication to her craft shine through, making her character deeply relatable and endearing.

Kudos to Priyadarshan sir for his direction, which skillfully reminded me of the fast-paced scenes characteristic of classic Malayalam movies like "Vandhanam" and "Chithram." The movie's seamless flow kept me engaged from start to finish.

The story of "Appatha" revolves around the adventures of Kannamma, a character afraid of dogs, but it is so much more than that. It beautifully delves into the lives of elderly people, highlighting the challenges they face and the emotions that come with aging. The film struck an emotional chord, touching my heart and leaving me with a newfound appreciation for the elderly.

The screenplay and storytelling were praiseworthy, and I must personally appreciate the writers for crafting such a heartwarming and thought-provoking narrative. The inclusion of a talented dog actor added an extra layer of charm to the movie, enhancing its appeal.

As a reviewer, I give "Appatha" a well-deserved rating of 9/10. It is a movie that entertains, prompts reflection on the love animals offer, and serves as a wholesome family film. There were no dull moments throughout the movie, and I believe it will be enjoyed by many.

To the producer, I extend my gratitude for bringing us this simple yet heart-touching and entertaining gem. Without their efforts, we wouldn't have had the chance to experience this delightful film.

In conclusion, "Appatha" is a must-watch for those seeking a movie that leaves a lasting impact. It caters to different tastes and offers a powerful message about life, love, and the challenges faced by the elderly. Urvashi Mam's exceptional performance alone makes it worth the watch, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone.

My name is Shahildas.k, and I take pride in providing honest and true opinions about movies. I believe my review has helped you gauge the essence of "Appatha." Urvashi Mam's portrayal truly deserves recognition, and I am certain this movie will find a special place in the hearts of many viewers.

This movie barely has the dog in it. The lady in the film acts as if the dog is the entire problem and creates ruckus. Although everything turns out to be fine like every other movie, the transition from hating the dog to forgiving it was not smooth at all. It was very artificial. As a dog lover, seeing the dog suffer was not enjoyable. And the story seemed very very filmy. It was not worth the watch. Please don't waste your time. There are no interesting twists, the most predictable and lazy movie.

The other reviews seem extremely misleading. 8.6 for this disaster seems kind of funny to me. Why do people lie so much.

A low budget family entertainer that's well planned & executed by priyadarshan who is well known as producer friendly director in Bollywood indeed a prolific creator himself... Urvashi once again does handle her role effortlessly and also her emotional portion shows her versatility and that's how she is a legend in South Indian cinema today... On the other hand all the rest of character's does contribute a great level including the dog,while the comedy portiondoes travel along with the plot which is the biggest asset of the movie... Crisy editing and apt camera work support the screenplay that's been running at a good pace...!!!

Overall it's a little gem to watch out with family at a Sunday noon.

First understand where this movie belongs. It's not aiming at any awards or a blockbuster status. It has no star-power other than the we'll deserved Urvashi. It is meant to be an easy evening watch with family. It is preachy, doesn't have any other performances to speak of, has a lot of loop holes and few illogical situations. Set all those aside and sit with a few friends or family and watch.

Urvashi's brilliant performance, witty and quick dialogues, the dog and some of the noteworthy concepts preached elevate the movie from watchable into a much enjoyable movie. Watch it for a lazy but engaging watch. Kids, elders and those.who love dogs will love the movie.
