"Kilometers and Kilometers" is a Malayalam language comedy drama road adventure movie which was released in 2020. It is directed by Jeo Baby. I became a huge fan of him after watching "The Great Indian Kitchen" and I was curious about this movie only because of him. The story is about a guy, the only bread owner of the family is going through financial crisis. He gets offered a job of a tour guide to an American lady and the story goes on.
Tovino Thomas is the protagonist here. He performed really well. Despite being the protagonists, Joju George and Siddharth Shiva's performances were amazing. India Jarvis who plays the role of the American lady, was meh! The movie tells about human feelings. It says that the human relationships are also important. Money will not give you the ultimate happiness. Direction and cinematography are good. The comedy timing is perfect. All the songs are beautiful. The first half is really entertaining. But the second half is kind of bollywoodish. India is all about different cultures and different languages. These differences are perfectly shown in this movie. Some breathtaking views of Tamilnadu, Karnataka, Gujrat are taken.
I know, many of us are completely locked between the four walls. We didn't even go for a trip from a long time. It's a tough time for us. I think, this film can slightly pacify our anxieties. According to me, "Kilometers and Kilometers" is indeed a feel good and light hearted film you can watch with your family.
P. S: It's not a masterpiece like "The Great Indian Kitchen". Do not raise your expectations. Otherwise, you'll be disappointed.
