Mr House Keeping

This was so much fun to watch! Losliya was so damn cute in her expressions and acting! Haribhaskars as a debut actor did fabulous acting. Everything was thoughtful. This is way more than my expectations. Fun filled entertainer and a beautiful love story. This movie lived upto it's title. Not to be missed. Losliya is picky with her scripts and this one is definitely her best so far. Arun Ravichandran has a good future in Tamil cinema for such unique story telling. Rom-com in an IT background with familiar people is just bound to work! You would not want to miss this movie. Rayane also did a good job being a debutant. Los, you go girl!

Mr. Housekeeping"m offers a blend of humor and heartfelt moments, making it a worthwhile watch for fans of romantic comedies. Despite its predictable plot, Haribaskar's commendable performance and engaging screenplay and exploration of meaningful themes provide an entertaining cinematic experience.

The film's technical crew, including cinematographer Kulothungavarman R and editor Rama Subbu, contribute to a visually appealing and well-paced narrative. Osho Venkat's musical score complements the film's tone, enhancing both its comedic and emotional moments.

Arun Ravichandran's direction brings a fresh perspective to the romantic comedy genre. The screenplay balances humor and emotion, exploring themes of unrequited love, personal growth, and the importance of consent in relationships. While the plot follows a familiar trajectory, the character development keeps the audience engaged.

I thought when they introduced the love triangle, the director will attempt to give a new twist and fresh ending.

The first half ran thru' without any major issues. The Hero "Hari Baskar" seriously needs to learn acting !!! Also the production was so mediore, the song lip-sync was out of place ... like crazy. But it didnt matter because his acting or attempt even made it worse.

Losliya did some good effort to keep her side of the bargain. But there was nothing in the script for her too.

Then the TAME ... effing ending. What a let down. This day and age, they make a movie that was made for the 70s and 80s.

PS: IMDB needs to do something about these fake reviewers.

"Mr Housekeeping" is a tamil romantic comedy that offers a blend of humour and emotional moments. The film stars Hari Baskar as Honest, a young man who due to financial constraints, becomes a housekeeper in the home of his former collegemate Isai, potrayed by Losliya. Their evolving relationship forms the crux of the narrative.

"Mr. Housekeeping" is neither a disaster nor a blockbuster-it's just okay. Starring Hari Baskar in his debut, the film delivers a predictable story that feels like it belongs in the early-to-mid 2000s rather than 2025.

As someone who has followed Hari Baskar since his Jump Cuts days, it's interesting to see him transition into films. His emotional moments were good, but the comedy didn't quite land. Both he and Losliya could have shown more expressions to elevate their performances. That said, everyone in the supporting cast, including the sister, parents, and friends, did well.

Losliya, whom I haven't seen since Bigg Boss, was a solid choice for the heroine-she looked beautiful and fit the role. The background score was good, but the songs? Meh. Cinematography was decent, but overall, the movie might struggle with the newer generation, who will likely roast it for its outdated storytelling.

Since this is Hari Baskar's first film, it serves as a learning curve. The movie works in parts, but for a stronger impact, it needed fresher storytelling and better execution.

Mr. Housekeeping is a typical love story told with modern-day references, starring OG YouTuber Haribaskar and Losliya. This marks Haribaskar's debut film, and he has done a commendable job. Losliya also performs well and fits into her role nicely.

It's a bit difficult to separate the positives and negatives in this film because everything feels mixed. Let's start with the writing: the first 10 to 15 minutes are quite dull, and it takes time for the story to pick up. After a certain point, you start enjoying the film, but then again, some scenes feel boring and make you lose interest. However, just when you think you're zoning out, something pulls you back in. It's a strange rhythm not quite an emotional rollercoaster, but more like a blend of poorly written parts with some genuinely good moments.

Why do I say this? Because the film does have some well-thought-out set pieces, and during those moments, it actually feels quite engaging. But the build-up and payoff for those scenes aren't written effectively, which reduces their impact.

If the writer had discussed the script with more people and revised it, this could have turned out to be an excellent film. Why? Because everything in this story happens for a reason. For example, the protagonist goes for a job there's a reason. He meets the girl again also for a reason. The intent is clear, but the execution needed refinement. Still, it's a decently written film overall.

In terms of production, the team has done a good job. If they had paid more attention to staging, blocking, and colour palette, the film would have looked even better visually. That said, it's a new team with a limited budget, and they've done a brilliant job considering those constraints.

Overall, Mr. Housekeeping is a good film to watch with your family. It's not perfect, but it has heart, and the effort from a new team deserves appreciation.
