O.P.160/18 Kakshi: Amminippilla

A good movie... Simple, thought-provoking, and funny!

O.P 160/18 Kakshi Amminipilla" Malayalam movie.

A serious court drama picturized with overdose of comics. The script writer and director handling serious social issues in a lighter vein. Arranged marriage or Love marriage is the question, How far should parents interfere in decisions of the siblings, during their milestones, How far is the influence of the society on an individual's life.... these are some of the points to ponder during the 145 minutes. Asif Ali, his usual self, reminding us of his previous roles as in 'Sunday holiday, Adventures of Omanakuttan' etc, has done his work neatly. Comical interludes are laced with the storyline. Court room scenes are breaching the limits of imagination, at times.

6 on 10 for his 'time pass' entertainment. Don't think,too much... Just enjoy the movie. Malabar slang of Malayalam language used very well.

Script wanted to glorify the hero, hence the twist at the climate, reminded us of the movie 'Puthiyaniyamam'.

See the movie, Enjoy the movie, Forget the movie. 😎

This tells the story about an arranged marriage which was done hastily. The groom is gloomy and the bride is heavy. The groom wants a divorce after a devotional honeymoon to pazhani ( who goes to pazhani for a honeymoon?) With the whole family. Perfect settings for a grumbling. Rest of the story revolves around this with Asif Ali thrown into the mix who more a politician than a lawyer ( he is not convincing in either character) who has a change of heart after all his ambition (read publicity) is achieved. Seems the makers only interest was thalassery and the slang. All else fails flat with body shaming and attitudes taking the brunt. Do what may your wife will want you, eat the food prepared by your wife for some time you will be a new loving husband.... can't even phantom what the makers wanted to achieve with this story line... Asif Ali as an actor is still in salt& pepper days. Ahmed sidhique ( k. T. Mirash fame)has done a decent job.

A simple comedy featuring some subtle but brilliant acting, Ammini Pilla delivers a good message without sounding philosophical and preachy like many recent releases. Although Asif Ali is in fine form, it is Fara Shibla who plays Kanthi that steals the show alongside Ahmed Sidhique who plays the titular Ammini Pilla.

Fara shows no signs of being a debutant, captivating us right from the first scene she is in, instantly making the audience root for her plight with her subtle mannerisms and expressive eyes. A great film, one of the finest comedies in recent years. Great job from debutant director Dinjith Ayyathan!
