Thattathin Marayathu

Hindu youth Vinod has a chance encounter with Aisha, niece of a powerful Muslim political leader, Abdul Khader, and falls in love. The movie starts mid-story, with the hero being jailed for trespassing into Abdul Khader's property to see Aisha. The story unfolds as narrated by Vinod to the Sub Inspector. The soul of the movie is how Vinod explores his feelings for Aisha, and tries to see how she would fit into his life. The style of narration is the revised, youth-centered, casual form that is becoming increasingly popular in Malayalam movies; it's the shifting of gear to a new era.

However, as far as the plot goes, it is simple, cute, and pleasant, but not novel. There is absolutely nothing new in the story. I have been getting rave reviews about the movie, and went in expecting something fresh. It's not. It's enjoyable enough, but simply doesn't have enough content.

Thattathin Mareyath is a simple yet engaging movie with a plot so clichéd yet so refreshing. I was amazed how the movie never fails to amuse, albeit getting the vibe of whats in store ahead. Now thats the magic of a writter cum director, here we have Vineeth Sreenivasan who makes a giant leap from "Malarvadi".

Breaking all my presumptions, Nivin pauly does it in style as the bloody blushing lover boy and as for the lady love, her looks were more than enough. The co-cast all supportive and hilarious, we get some good laughs when they all fit in. Special mention to shan rahman for roping in with some romantic tracks.

Ha! How i loved the romantic scenes, the surreal textures, the background scores which all reminded me of my lovelife! A good watch. 6.5/10

'Thattathin Marayath' is Romantic, Youthful and musical...

We might had n number of romantic movies of boy and girl from different religion loving each other. Some had tragedy ending or romantic ending. But.. Script and direction of the movie will give you a pleasant, youthful, romantic and musical experience. Kudos to Vineeth Sreenivasn and team. Movie has hero, but all the character is well blended. No specialist comedy artist, but movie is totally comedy mixed romantic movie.

Music is soothing. Good BGM music. Shaan Rehman is a bright promise. Muthusippi and 'Anuragathilvelayil' songs are highlights.

Special mentions to dialog's. Esp those which means 'Ayisha as a girl will come with you, but not ayisha as a Muslim' & 'Black clothes should cover women pureness not her dreams' Recommended for those who are young at heart.

Thattathin Marayathu defines a rendition that surpasses the most contemporary or avant-garde script with its sheer guiltlessness and a straight from the heart ambiance. The common perceptibility while watching something conceived by a 27 year old is strongly questioned by the overall cinematic brilliance. Thattathin Marayathu may have loose ends as would any masterpiece that our industry has seen. But the fact that it elucidates the innocence concealed in an intercast love story and crafts it with a simple storyline depicting the nuances of conventional characters is purely magical. The thread is finely woven with many unpredictable and impulsive moments that literally sparks your nostalgia and creates that I may have done this? feeling. The movie gently floats from a light hearted youthfulness to unperturbed romantic shores with ease and panache. The characters are well sketched and the cast delivers a sincere and candid feat. The untangling of issue towards the climax may have needed some slight nourishment. Nevertheless, the absence of a terrific storyline is often understated as it glides through the luminous performance by the entire cast, tactical and exuberant narration, Brilliant cinematography reinforced with some soul stirring scores by Shaan. Full credits to Vineeth for presenting viewers with a narrative that is not just refreshing but brimming with life

So, I was overwhelmed by the response of this movie and decided to watch it. I usually don't watch Romantic movies and this one reminded me why.

Well, the plot is typical. You add an inter-caste factor and publish the story in a 21st century where the girl and boy both don't own a mobile phone. The hype created was too much for this average movie. This type of movie can only gain success to people who have not watched epics from Hollywood & Bollywood. Or French cinema, for that matter!

Vineet Srinivasan is very clever at grabbing the attention of cinema- goers who are bored by the usual remakes and boring slapstick.

Bottom line, this movie does not have much to offer with sporadic jokes and lack of panache!

I rate it 5 for the comedy part and Nivin Pauly's performance. Isha Talwar has dialogues equal to that of a cameo appearance by Srinvasan.

BADS: Disappointing! Clichéd! Hyped!

GOODS: Enjoyable! Romantic! Adorable & Funny!
