Nadanna Sambhavam

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.

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.

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 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..

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.
