Veruthe Oru Bharya

This movie is terrible. Its riddled with so much stigma and misogyny. The acting was also not good especially jayaram's. Many dialogues seemed unnecessary and out of place, many scenes were unnecessary and could have been avoided instead of increasing screen time. Music was pretty good, the movie tries to come off like it's made with good intentions and a good message but the message delivered by the movie overall is very toxic to young women of this generation but also for young men who may think behaviour like that of jayaram's character is okay.

Many, many strong points here: first, the acting is pretty strong throughout the cast, and the director makes a lot of interesting choices regarding shots. Excellent setup at the beginning gets us ready for the story, and good scripting really gives a us a feeling for the characters and their issues.

Of course, it's not really a comedy -- it's about husband-dominated households, the allure of cell-phone culture, and changing roles for women. But it does have comic moments, and the script shows surprisingly clear-headed thinking about these issues and how they affect family life -- until the last 15 minutes, when the film gives up all logic for super-melodrama. Which is a disappointment, but it would be a shame to miss the first two hours.
