Veendum Chila Veettukaryangal

Sathyan Anthikkadu's films are always simple, candid and humorous. Veendum Chila Veetukaryangal (Again Some Family Affairs) is no exception. This movie was a box office hit, but underrated by its simplicity. This is the story of Kochu Thomman (Thilakan), an aristocratic Christian who has a warm heart and love for everything, especially to his younger son Roy (Jayaram). When his son boldly marry a Hindu girl of lower cast, it changes everything. Director Satyan Anthikkadu is famous for his satire-like comedies, but this one is not exactly a comedy but an heart-warming, inspirational drama with a brilliant climax. It's more or less, an equivalent to Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. I would say, it's the magnum opus for both Thilakan, Jayaram, Script Writer Lohita Das and Director Satyan Anthikkadu. The performance of Pappu and Oduvil also deserve some commendation.

Beautiful movie to put me in tears.

The love of family how important they are in your life how brutal & haunting when they are absent. This movie showed me how close the friendship of a father and son can get, so close that they forget time & people around them.

When I turned 10 yrs of age, I Lost my father to six bullets by thugs from the streets. It was way of getting into the gang, to take someone's life to be a member of the gang. That night, a year after fam & I moved from Kerala to houston his life was taken. Til today it hasn't been the same, always wonder how different it could've been and I felt that love and warmness watching this movie at the same time painful which comes down to tears. The entire absence hits you all at once. There's much much more to the story I can write on why and how this movie will be on my top list.

Thank you Lohithadas & Sathyan beautifully crafted representation of this love. And jayram, thilakan, and to beautiful samyuktha varma the reason why I watched this movie. Wish you did more movies in your younger years.
