Thattathin Marayathu

Vineeth Sreenivasan has once again came up with a beautiful cinematic experience. It's a simple movie without any unconventional plots or twists, no any high profile song sequences, null amount of high dose action scenes. It tells the story of Vinod(Nivin Pauly) a simple guy from Telicherry town who adores a Muslim girl Aisha(Isha Talwar)of a wealthy family. The crux of the movie lies in the efforts made by Vinod & his friends to approach Aisha and thereafter make her fall for her. Vineeth has once again impressed with a well written script and equally good direction, which was well supported by DOP Jomon and all other crew members. Nivin has been impressive in his role and the new face Isha has caught every eyes with her stunning beauty. On the whole a good movie, which you would like to see again and again

Thattathin Marayathu defines a rendition that surpasses the most contemporary or avant-garde script with its sheer guiltlessness and a straight from the heart ambiance. The common perceptibility while watching something conceived by a 27 year old is strongly questioned by the overall cinematic brilliance. Thattathin Marayathu may have loose ends as would any masterpiece that our industry has seen. But the fact that it elucidates the innocence concealed in an intercast love story and crafts it with a simple storyline depicting the nuances of conventional characters is purely magical. The thread is finely woven with many unpredictable and impulsive moments that literally sparks your nostalgia and creates that I may have done this? feeling. The movie gently floats from a light hearted youthfulness to unperturbed romantic shores with ease and panache. The characters are well sketched and the cast delivers a sincere and candid feat. The untangling of issue towards the climax may have needed some slight nourishment. Nevertheless, the absence of a terrific storyline is often understated as it glides through the luminous performance by the entire cast, tactical and exuberant narration, Brilliant cinematography reinforced with some soul stirring scores by Shaan. Full credits to Vineeth for presenting viewers with a narrative that is not just refreshing but brimming with life

Hindu youth Vinod has a chance encounter with Aisha, niece of a powerful Muslim political leader, Abdul Khader, and falls in love. The movie starts mid-story, with the hero being jailed for trespassing into Abdul Khader's property to see Aisha. The story unfolds as narrated by Vinod to the Sub Inspector. The soul of the movie is how Vinod explores his feelings for Aisha, and tries to see how she would fit into his life. The style of narration is the revised, youth-centered, casual form that is becoming increasingly popular in Malayalam movies; it's the shifting of gear to a new era.

However, as far as the plot goes, it is simple, cute, and pleasant, but not novel. There is absolutely nothing new in the story. I have been getting rave reviews about the movie, and went in expecting something fresh. It's not. It's enjoyable enough, but simply doesn't have enough content.

Ideally, one should have no perception of the movie before starting off watching it. But I held one - this movie is made by a very young director Vineeth Sreenivasan and hence the movie would reflect inexperience. Well, that anticipation helped. It was better than the anticipation.

The best part of the movie was Ayesha and her beauty. Nivin pauly has acted well and has captured the head-over-heels-in-love endearingly.

The movie is sprinkled with songs all along and that adds to the general feel-good of the movie.In fact, movie is all feel-goods and not much of a story.

There were some good humor scenes too. Abdu as Vinod's friend has done a good job. The audience shared good laughs through out the movie.

However, I am not sure how to explain such huge success that the movie has claimed. It is a soother and a nice one - good job Vineeth.

Rating... 8.5/10 At heart, director Vineet Sreenivasan is a musician first and like his soft songs, every scene and line in the movie is rendered with a youthful symphony pleasing to the soul. Perhaps even more praiseworthy is the way he has brought out the best in everyone including the child artists.

Protagonist Nivin Pauly has delivered a good performance and his compatriots in the movie fit well into their characters. This bunch of next gen molly-wood actors show promise. Isha Talwar is beautiful and has the makings of a future Katrina Kaif... And that means exactly what u think it does :) She has few scenes where any acting is warranted and even fewer lines, perhaps because her lip movements are out of sync with the Malayalam lines, to do justice -a language that is foreign to her.

The music is wonderful, but you probably already new that. The story delivers its message subtly without compromising on entertainment.

Its been a while since I have seen a good portrayal of young love in Malayalam cinema... This one was definitely worth the wait.
