It was a laughter-packed delight for me. The movie clearly depicts the insecurities of the so- called successful men in our society. Suraj and Biju Menon- what a great combo. The lady actors - Lijomol and Shruti also deserves applause.
It's a small movie with a simple story, but I think the director executed it well. The production design was also very fitting for the film. I also enjoyed Sudhi Koppa's role in the movie and he has performed well in this role.
Suraj is rocking all the roles he is getting and his subtle mannerisms in the movie was just superb. I can't believe this is the same man who delivered those legendary comedy scenes fifteen years ago.
Give it a go..

The film Nadanna Sambhavam is a cinematic work belonging to the family drama genre, which was directed by Vishnu Narayan.
The narrative is concerned with the depiction of a residential area and a number of families residing within it. Shree Kumar Unni is a marine engineer who recently relocated to this residential area with his family. The subject's familial environment is characterised by a high degree of harmony, with her relationships with her family members being notably stable and positive. It is evident that the subject rapidly established rapport with individuals. He rapidly amassed a significant number of female acquaintances in the local area. Ajith is a businessman and resides in close proximity to Shree Kumar Unni. The family dynamic of Ajith is characterised by a certain degree of discord. Nevertheless, he is in possession of a reliable cohort of individuals in the local area. The male populace of the area took umbrage at the friendship that Shree Kumar Unni enjoyed with women. However, there was a misinterpretation of his intentions. The validity of these assumptions is further reinforced by certain incidents. Following the incident in which Unni permitted a sales representative to use the lavatory in his residence, Ajith misinterpreted his actions and proceeded to physically assault him. The video has been disseminated via WhatsApp, to a group of individuals. The content of the video appears to depict an encounter between Unni and a female companion. Unni registered a complaint against Ajith. The reasons for Ajith's actions, which included the sales associate and engaging in discourse with Ajith's wife, are as follows. In the course of his conversation with Ajith's wife, Unni proffered a number of solutions to the mental distress with which she was afflicted. Subsequently, law enforcement officials came to the conclusion that Unni was undoubtedly not culpable, and that the issue derived from Ajith's misapprehension. Subsequently, Unni opted to retract the aforementioned complaint. Upon returning home, Ajith proceeded to physically assault his wife, citing her failure to lodge a complaint against Unni as the rationale for this action. Unni intervenes in the situation and physically assaults Ajith as a form of retribution. The narrative appears to be indicative of a conventional misunderstanding that could conceivably occur within our geographical locale.
The narrative was of adequate and direction was excellent. The performances are of a commendable standard. Musical scores are notable. This is a valuable resource for individuals who wish to watch the film once.

*** Nadanna Sambhavam Malayalam Movie Review ***
Directed by Vishnu Narayan starring Biju Menon, Suraj Venjaramoodu, Lijomol Jose, Shruti Ramachandran & Sudhi Koppa.
A housing colony of upper middle class, a new family enters there. The male of that family is very jovial, social person which attracts many women but it attracts a prickle to some males which in turn creates a tuff between them forms the story.
Biju Menon & Suraj Venjaramoodu, the lead roles had done their part very well. A red flag male characterization is well portrayed by Suraj.
His dialogues are minimal but his expression which the character lies the most had been perfectly enacted as in the movie there is are few characters which talks about his unpredictable and his strange behaviour so to convince to the audience Suraj had beautifully done.
Biju Menon's character is not a new type as he easily gets into the shoes of the role he gets.
Talking of the female characters, Lijo Mol's character who is paired opposite to Suraj, her character's is all a housewife with a disturbed family life so the anxiety, stress which she is carrying had been beautifully portrayed.
Overall, an above average yet a watchable flick.

Nadanna Sambhavam uses satirical humor to present one of the current happenings. In the film, family issues and real-life circumstances are depicted. Every character did a good job assuming their parts. Certain incidents may be dragged out, which could make the viewers uncomfortable. It is absurd to claim that this is a predictable story. The film itself implies the events of the upcoming sequences. Thus, it qualifies as a family movie. The film's narrative weakness prevents it from fitting everyone, even when a large cast is assembled. It goes without saying that the movie is joke-free. The movie's narrative suggests that circumstances ought to be viewed as humorous instead. Nobody has very impressive acting. There aren't any standout songs or characters. It might be categorized as a typical motion picture.
Rating - 3/5
A family drama set on the backdrop of a housing colony.
The story puts light onto relationship and trust issues in a married life within a housing society.
Director has brushed upon some stereotyped subjects and that has great relevance in this status quo and domestic violence in family is portrayed effectively on screen. Audience missing connection in few sequences may be due to flat writing.
All the actors have made a decent performance in the movie. Good performances by Biju Menon, Suraj,Lijomol,Sruthi & Sudhy Kopa.
Director's attempt to convey the idea was fine but it was cringe in few areas. There was no other exciting factor that holds the audience onto the story.

Excellent pick of apt characters. Deftly directed by Vishnu Narayn & ably penned by Rajesh Gopinadhan. Editing did not expose any missing links. Movie was engaging throughout with suspense elements. Lijomol speaks volumes even in her silence. Biju Menon stole the show. The subtle romantic nuances between Biju & charismatic Shruthi Ramachandran were portrayed without developing into detailed sequences. Suraj excelled in the negative role along with other worth mentioning counterparts like Sudhi Koppa, John Antony & Lalu Alex. The BGM & music by Ankit Menon were a rare mix of situational compositions and was very appealing.
The movie, at large, sheds light on man's insecurities, dressed in pride, out of their inability to understand their partners, the stress that women and housemakers go through and the need for open conversations about it. A social satire struck on a very different kind of note and pace throughout. A non-preachy, direct slow burner, a surprising entertainer!
Pros: Dark comedy, a different swing among narrative styles and speed, family entertainment, quirky music that reminds of you of western dark comedies.
Cons: Predictable storyline, poor screen tones and colours in between, and while music is strong in many areas, it also falls below par in some.

It dropped on OTT with no noise at all, and the same was the case in theaters too. As there were no other good options, I gave it a go with minimal expectations, only to be surprised by how much I liked it.
A new couple relocates to a posh colony where the husband befriends all the women due to his happy-go-lucky nature. This doesn't sit well with the other husbands, and an incident eventually leads to the police station.
Biju Menon as the friendly husband is a treat to watch, performing with the perfect balance of charm, making it neither awkward nor creepy. Suraj Venjaramoodu is in his element as well, shining in his role as the insecure husband. Lijomol Jose is a surprise, delivering an earnest performance that makes her presence felt. Sudhi Koppa has an interesting role, which he justifies to the fullest. Johny Antony, Shruti Ramachandran, and the rest of the cast nail their respective parts.
The thread of the story is simple, yet it engages you right from the word go. Kudos to the captain of the ship, Vishnu Narayan, who delivers a splendid experience for viewers, showcasing his excellent directorial skills. It proves that a simple story can be engaging when executed well.
The screenplay is airtight and leaves no room for distraction. The dialogues are funny and relatable, as are the various couples portrayed, making the whole story feel like it's unfolding right outside your window.
In all its glory, this is a film that should be watched without a second thought. Expect a light-hearted family drama, perfect for a good time.

Ajith-also known as Ajithettan (Suraj Venjaramoodu)-is in the midst of one of his regular drinking sessions with his close friends. The wolf pack represents different shades of entitled men, with unmistakable moralistic tendencies to pry into others' lives unnecessarily, including an undesirable online media journalist (an effective Sudhi Koppa). When someone from the group enquires about his recent holiday abroad with his family, Ajith immediately likens his wife, Dhanya (Lijomol Jose), and daughter to a heavy sack on his head, while equating the trip to the grandeur of Thrissur Pooram. Moments before this uncomfortable exchange, Dhanya's face suddenly turns dismal when Ajith takes a selfie during their daughter's birthday celebration, highlighting their dysfunctional marriage due to his indifference.

In the heartwarming yet mysterious tale of The Arrival, director Sarah Bloom introduces audiences to a quaint residential association where a group of family and friends find their lives irrevocably altered by the arrival of a peculiar new tenant. Set against the backdrop of a picturesque neighborhood, the film explores themes of change, acceptance, and the unearthing of hidden truths.
The narrative unfolds gracefully, beginning with the tranquil routine of the neighborhood, where each character's life seems settled and predictable. The cinematography by James Rivers captures the essence of suburban bliss, with lush green lawns and sunlit homes forming a serene backdrop. However, the arrival of Mr. Landon (played with subtle intrigue by Ian Grant) disrupts this tranquility, setting off a chain reaction of events that challenge the fabric of their community.
At its core, The Arrival is a story about relationships. Each character, from the affable next-door neighbor Mrs. Thompson (portrayed with warmth by Helen Morris) to the curious teenage son Jake (ably performed by newcomer Leo Bennett), undergoes a transformation as they interact with Mr. Landon. The dynamics shift gradually, revealing hidden tensions and long-buried secrets that come to light in the presence of this enigmatic newcomer.
The film excels in its character development, with each member of the ensemble cast contributing to the overarching narrative. Emily Wright shines as Sarah, the young mother whose curiosity about Mr. Landon's past leads her down a path of self-discovery. Her journey is mirrored by her husband Michael (played with depth by David Clarke), whose initial skepticism gives way to empathy as he learns more about their new neighbor's history.
What sets The Arrival apart is its ability to blend genres seamlessly. While rooted in drama, the film incorporates elements of mystery and even touches of supernatural intrigue. As Mr. Landon's backstory unfolds through a series of carefully crafted flashbacks, the audience is drawn deeper into his world, questioning their own perceptions of identity and belonging.
Bloom's direction ensures that every scene is infused with emotional resonance. Whether it's a quiet conversation over morning coffee or a tense confrontation in the community hall, each moment feels authentic and relatable. The screenplay by Jessica Andrews skillfully navigates between light-hearted humor and poignant introspection, creating a narrative tapestry that resonates long after the credits roll.
Visually, The Arrival is a treat for the senses. From the vibrant color palette of the neighborhood in summer to the subdued tones of winter, the changing seasons mirror the characters' evolving emotional landscapes. The attention to detail extends to the production design and costume choices, which subtly reflect each character's journey throughout the film.
The film's soundtrack, composed by Lucas Shaw, complements the storytelling beautifully. Haunting melodies underscore pivotal moments, heightening the emotional impact without overpowering the narrative. Shaw's score enhances the film's atmospheric quality, drawing viewers deeper into the unfolding drama.
While The Arrival is undeniably character-driven, it also poses thought-provoking questions about community and the nature of change. As Mr. Landon's presence catalyzes a series of events that force the residents to confront their own biases and preconceptions, the film encourages audiences to reflect on the ways in which we perceive others and ourselves.
In conclusion, The Arrival is a captivating exploration of human connection and transformation. Anchored by strong performances, nuanced direction, and a compelling narrative, the film offers a poignant reminder that our lives are shaped not only by our actions but also by our willingness to embrace the unknown. It is a testament to the power of storytelling to bridge divides and illuminate the shared humanity that binds us all. The Arrival is a film that lingers in the mind, inviting audiences to ponder its themes long after the screen fades to black.

3 Idiots is more than just a film - it's a thought-provoking journey into the rigid Indian education system, wrapped in humor, emotion, and unforgettable performances. At its heart, the story follows three engineering students - Farhan, Raju, and the brilliant and unconventional Rancho - as they navigate pressure, competition, and self-discovery at a prestigious college.
Rajkumar Hirani masterfully blends comedy and drama, delivering powerful social messages without being preachy. Aamir Khan shines as Rancho, bringing charm, intelligence, and compassion to the screen. The chemistry among the three friends feels real and touching, while Boman Irani's portrayal of the strict principal 'Virus' adds a strong counterpoint.
The film's biggest strength lies in its emotional core - from Farhan's struggle to follow his passion to Raju's battle with fear and insecurity. The iconic lines like "All is well" and "Pursue excellence, and success will follow" leave a lasting impression. The music, especially "Give Me Some Sunshine" and "Behti Hawa Sa Tha Woh," enhances the story beautifully.
Verdict: A must-watch for students, parents, and educators alike, 3 Idiots is inspiring, funny, and deeply human. It challenges societal norms while entertaining throughout. ⭐ 4.5/5
