Kettiyollaanu Ente Maalakha

I would definitely recommend this movie as the actors and actresses potray the character really well! Also the subject is talked about which is seen as a taboo is the keralian society so very happy eventhough baby steps that it is being acknowledged and in a very compelling manner. Loved every moment of the movie 👍

I couldn't watch KEM in theatres. I watched it recently with high expectations as there were rave reviews from both critics and audiences. The movie didn't fulfill my expectations but it was pretty good movie with very good performances. Asif Ali proved that he is one of the best young actors in Mollywood. Veena Nandhakumar also did a good job in her debut. Sex Education is not a topic that Mollywood has tried often and Nisam Basheer took this topic in the backdrop of a family movie well. Overall, KEM is a good movie and a watchable one for Asif Ali's performance and fresh social topic.

Asif Ali delivers his career's best performance in a soulful, tender movie that depicts a social evil that is widely prevalant but seldolm discussed or even acknowledged in Kerala society. Debutant director Nisam Basheer excels with his natural storytelling, helped by a tight and efficient script where not a single piece of dialogue seems forced or wasteful.

Writer Aji Peter Thankam deserves plaudits for the incredible climax sequence and falso or infusing the narrative with dollops of natural humour in seemingly the most serious of situations. Watch the movie for the incredible Asif Ali, who has lived the character of everyman Sleevachan and another impressive debutante-Veena Nandhakumar who essayed the role of his wife Raicy.

Another must watch. Malayalam cinema keeps churning out incredible films covering fresh subjects in the latter half of 2019! The future in indeed promising

I was so enchanted to see Asif Ali enact the role of Sleevachan, a good-natured 35-year-old man with zero knowledge on how to deal with matters of sex and marital life, with such diligence and changing gradation that it was difficult for me to praise the importance, timeliness, and social relevance of this romantic drama. But I will make an attempt because Nissam Basheer would want me to as he has concocted a delicious recipe out of a sensitive topic. Marital rape and the indifference surrounding it in the state of Kerala and elsewhere in India has been handled with such deft in Kettiyollaanu Ente Maalakha (English: My Wife is My Angel) that it needs to be seen by everyone who is affected by it. Which is every human being, slightly limited only by their age. When Sleevachan is forced to marry someone not as a partner for himself but as someone who would take care of his old mother, he does not even look at his prospective wife when he goes to meet her and her family. The indifferent self-centered nature of this man is admired by that person (Veena Nandhakumar) who later becomes his wife, and so starts a conversationless tale of marital discord unknown to the people outside of the four walls of their yet-adorned bedroom. The anxiety and discomfort displayed by Ali and the voiceless concern shown by Nandhakumar (who might still need some acting classes) both enrapture you as you become a part of this Christian family where sisters-in-law have a say at everything and brothers-in-law are silent spectators and only care about the food. Everyone is nonchalant about what's going on and that's the way it is because sex is still taboo in India and no one talks about or teaches one about the things that one should do with their partner after marriage. Never breaking the obscenity line and only adding humour to the mix, writer Aji Peter Thankam only improves his social drama by making it more important as the plot goes deeper into the lives of Sleevachan and his pretty wife. There is so much to process in Kettiyallaanu Ente Maalakha, I would like to recommend it twice. Once with your partner and the second time with your whole family. It's totally worth it. TN.

"Kettiyolaanu ente Maalakha" Malayalam movie.

High range village with its innocent villagers, form this presentation. Sleeva, the middle aged bachelor, doing the daily farm work.. have his daily dose of alcohol in the evening... to lead his contented life. His family pressure forced him to get married. Sleevachan's misguided ideas about sex, his in-experience in the carnal knowledge..all leading to a marital-rape.... later family disharmony...is the one line story.

This kinda highly tensed bridegroom seeking help and doing blunders....all remind us of Dineshan of "Thalayina Mandram". Script touches on socially relevant issue of necessity, of premarital counseling and sexual education.

Asif Ali as Sleevachan did well. Other characters also were good on screen.

7 on 10 for this, no twist, clean entertainer.

Careful planning could have made, this 'message' filled presentation, more indulging.

' To love and then marry... Or Marry, then love ' is the subtle question posed to the audience.

Ask yourself... !
