Thirike

Before watching thirike, i thought it would be one tearjerker, since one brother is having down syndrome. The beginning of the film had already given me that feeling as the brothers get separated soon and a classic song plays.

But soon we are introduced to the adult Thomas played by co director George kora himself as a street smart and cunning character. He frequently visits his brother ismu which does not go well with ismu's foster mother fathima. To bring back ismu's memory, Thomas kidnaps him and takes him to their ancestral house. Rest of the movie is whether ismu gets his memory or not.

As I said, I thought thirike would be a tearjerker but to my surprise its filled with lot of light and fun moments. But still it has some heartwarming moments too. Gopikrishna as ismu was not acting but reacting. Thomas character was fun but George kora's dialogue delivery was amateur at many instances. Sarasu balussery as ammachi was also nice. Shanthi krishna and gopan mangattu also performed well. Film ends on a happy note too.

On the whole, thirike is a feel good and heartwarming sibling relationship which i really loved.

This movie touches so many emotions - bond between two brothers, the longing for family , normalising disability. Kudos to the team for creating such a wonderful movie.
