Bharathanatyam

Nice family movie with fun elements. Each characters played very well. Saiju kurup and kalaranjini acted well in this movie sai kumar dont have much dialogues still he made some remarkable expressions. The sister roles of saiju kurup are acted and nandu podhuval also played a good role in this film. The movie based on a family so the roles for other actros are limited but nicely blended. I think its a nice movie with no extra masala or songs and no vulgar comedy was not there. It makes us we are living with their family. Saiju kurup played very well his dialogue delivery was very good in this film you can see that on a shop scene with his brother telling about the son and step wife of sai kumar.

Rating - 3.5/5.

Written and Directed by Krishnadas Murali, Bharatanatyam might not offer a groundbreaking storyline, but its execution makes it a standout. The core plot is inspired from Rajasenan's Swapnalokathe Balabhaskaran and felt familiar. However, it's in the storytelling and direction where Bharatanatyam excels, especially with its well-timed comedy and engaging narration.

The film's comedy works beautifully, delivering plenty of rib-tickling moments that keep you entertained throughout. Although the climax may be predictable, its emotional impact is undeniable. When a director succeeds in bringing tears to your eyes, it's clear they've done their job well, and Murali certainly achieves this.

Saiju Kurup shines as the main protagonist, portraying the role of a family man with authenticity and depth. His emotional range fits perfectly within the film's tone. Saikumar also impresses, his character's turmoil conveyed through subtle, expressive performances. Abhiram Radhakrishnan is notable as the scheming friend, while Kalaranjini, Sreeja Ravi, Divya M. Nair, and Manikandan all contribute meaningfully to the narrative. The only letdown comes from the twin characters, whose performances felt somewhat lacking in emotional nuance, preventing them from fully connecting with the audience.

On the technical front, Samuel Ebi's music complements the film but could have been more impactful. Bablu Aju's cinematography, however, stands out, seamlessly blending with the fast-paced narration to enhance the viewing experience.

Overall, Bharatanatyam is an engaging and emotionally resonant film that never drags, providing a well-rounded cinematic experience. Krishnadas Murali's direction ensures that, despite a familiar storyline, the movie remains fresh and entertaining.

If you're in the mood for a film that mixes laughter with poignant life lessons, "Bharathanatyam" is a must-see this season! This quirky comedy weaves in the beautiful art of Bharathanatyam, offering more than just entertainment-it delivers a powerful message about life and relationships that will leave you reflecting long after the credits roll.

At the center of the story is Bharathan, a relatable character caught in a whirlwind of his own poor life choices. The film's unique perspective allows us to see the chaos from the viewpoints of those most affected, keeping you engaged with its clever storytelling and well-timed humor. Sure, there are convenient plot points, but they serve to draw you into the emotional duality of the characters, leaving the judgment up to you.

The narrative revolves around a family house and the hilarious situations that arise when unexpected guests arrive. With a screenplay by Krishnadas Murali, the film strikes a perfect balance of lighthearted fun and heartfelt moments. The performances by Saiju Kurup, Saikumar, Kalaranjini, Sreeja Ravi and others shine, adding depth and authenticity to the characters.

While the film may not be groundbreaking, its execution is brilliant. The emotional climax hits hard, proving that sometimes, predictability can be a strength when done well. You'll find yourself laughing and shedding a tear-sometimes at the same time!

Don't overlook "Bharathanatyam" just because of its understated promotions; this film deserves your attention. It's a delightful family entertainer filled with joy, color, and togetherness, making it perfect for a cozy movie night. Grab your loved ones, and get ready for an experience that's as touching as it is funny!

I went to the movie with no expectations as there were only a limited number of reviews available. The movie started slowly and I thought it is going to be a tragedy movie. But after 15-20 minutes, the movie took off. The comedy was clean and refreshing. All the characters did well. The bonding of the family was well represented. No unnecessary songs were there. The only scene which irritated me the most was when the nurse ate pappadam of Sai Kumar. I mean... Which hospital allows nurses to eat the leftovers from a patient's plate ? It seemed totally illogical to me. Other than that the movie was pretty decent. But it was sad to see that public was not much aware about the movie. I think marketing should have been done better because this movie totally deserves applause. I hope Saiju Kurup productions will create many more amazing movies in the future.
