While asking all the difficult questions associated with man's attempt at using artificial intelligence to simplify life, Android Kunjappan version 5.25, a superbly made entertainer that keeps on giving despite its long running time, takes a friendly, chill approach and drives a much more important point home. About human connections, their dynamics, and the possibility of technology replacing them. I was literally gobsmacked a few times watching this humorous, socially relevant film that could not have been released at a more proper time, often wondering what length the makers might have gone to craft it. Whether it is the electric performances (it is not fair to focus only Suraj Venjaramoodu as each one of the cast strike gold here), the characterisation of a whole village, and the dialog writing, this debut feature Ratheesh Poduval is bound to receive cult status sooner than its contemporaries will have it, especially at this juncture in Malayalam cinema where great, groundbreaking films are coming out every other Friday with no stop in sight. Android Kunjappan version 5.25 is fresh, genuinely heartwarming, and magnificently crafted. There is absolutely no doubt it will make you smile and wonder days after you have seen it. TN.
