Falimy

Beautiful movie. After a long time I have watched a movie that made me feel good. Such family movies are rare events nowadays, the movie teaches you to treasure your family, your grand parents as long as they're with us. It has some real heart felt moments, and some moments are light hearted.

I just happened to stumble across this gem while browsing through my Disney plus, This movie is made from heart and soul. The story is plain and simple yet has an enchanting charm. I believe Malyaalam movies are better in story telling than Tamil, which is a bigger industry. If you're looking fir movie that you can enjoy with your family, we'll, look no more.

This is one of a kind emotionally Hilarious movie. You feel sorrow to the core and the director immediately makes you laugh. Wonderful screenplay and narration. All the actors did wonderful job. Comic timing from hero and heros father is fabulous. It is an essential story line for current circumstances in real life as well as for the movie lovers to have a good weekend evening to watch a clean family entertainer for whole family. Climax proceedings were equally emotional as they are funny. My family had a good laugh. A must watch movie for everyone and it would be great if every week this kind of movies get released.

Safe to say I have watched almost every single one of Basil's movie and I have not been disappointed. This movie is a roller coaster of emotions and the development the characters go through is beautiful. It's such a classic comedy movie, for families to watch, I found it absolutely amazing. The scenes were unique and well written and the actors portrayed their character really well. The situations they were in were funny but the actors did an excellent job keeping their personalities. Personally, I would be watching this movie over and over again. Also feel like this is one of the hit movies this year. A little bit about the storyline it revolves around a father mother grandfather and 2 sons, all who have a not so good relationship with each other. Throughout the movie, one can see the changes and reasons to why a certain character acts the way they do. Such a beautiful masterpiece and I cannot wait to see more movies like this.

There's nothing mind-blowing about this story but that's the USP of most Mollywood films, 'How can I take a nothing-great day-to-day plot and still make a good movie out of it?' Essentially, slice of life; just that Mollywood does it better than most other film industries.

Make a good movie out of it, they did. 'Falimy' on purpose, your classic 'Teddha hai, par mera hai' types. The family in this film is dysfunctional and has got its own issues, stuff that most families can relate to, at least in parts.

The film takes you on a certain journey, literally in the movie and figuratively as well, which is a mini roller coaster ride by itself, not too high/low, but it goes up and down enough to catch you off guard.

I think it's safe to say that if Basil Joseph is playing the lead, the film is surely going to be watchable. All of the support cast did a great job as well. I laughed out loud at this shot of a "happy parivar" in the background with this family standing up front after a fight, thought was put into writing. Some parts on the other hand, made me feel like "Bruh, they can't be that be THAT dumb, can they?"

People said "If you liked Jaya Hey, you'd like this." I liked Jaya Hey, but I don't think Falimy is necessarily on the same level. That said, it's still enjoyable and also thought-provoking in parts. You can watch it with your falimy (see what I did there?)

It's the first time I have reviewed a movie in this detail.

I was quite eager to watch the movie after seeing the trailer and it did not disappoint me a bit to wait for the release. The direction and performances of the entire cast is exceptional and there was never a dull moment. Each and every character played a crucial role and Basil Joseph's acting shows that one does not need to be a superstar or overly handsome to achieve success in the industry. Hats to his impeccable skills.

What surprised me was the incredible acting of Jagadish who plays the irritating father's so convincingly that you are tempted to hit him from your seat. I have been watching his movies since my childhood and feel like this the movie where he has actually brought out his acting skills so perfectly. Manju Pillai as a mother excels in showing the behaviour of a typical mother in the real world.

The grandfather's role, especially the scene where he breaks down upon hearing his friend who his also his neighbour's demise makes us think about our old age and depart of our own people who are close to our heart. Not to miss the mention of the boy who played the younger brother's role.

Overall a wonderful movie with an excellent ending!!
