Pulimada

Vincent aka Ummachan is an unlucky unmarried man in his 40s. He is a loner and fears his mental status owing to his mother's issues. After several rejections, his marriage is fixed with Jessy and he tries his best to stay confident enough to move forward with this phase of his life. Sadly, Jessy elopes, humiliating him infront of everyone. Heartbroken Vincent resorts to drinking and sulking. Meantime, a tiger has been spotted and people are notified to not roan around alone in the night. Vincent yearns to spend the night with a woman and comes across a stranded tourist. He brings her back to his house, lying it to be an homestay. What happens on that night as he loses control and how many times they announce about the supposed tiger on the loose, forms rest of the story.

Pulimada was truly a disappointing watch, pointlessly dragged through it's 100+ minutes, relying on the lead actors Jojy George and Aishwarya Rajesh. One can sympathise with Vincent's plight initially but after a point, there isn't much relate with that character's actions. Similarly Aishwarya gets a weakly written character of Mahishmathi and the hype behind keeping her character a mystery till the end, didn't pay off. This is solely due to the writing and that entire subplot involving the tiger warning fades away as apart from being an ineffective plot tool, it offered nothing. For the actors' caliber, this ended up as a forgettable venture and even they cannot save this mess.

Pulimada" revolves around the life of a policeman whose life dramatically turns when his fiancée disappears on the day of their wedding.

Joju George's exceptional acting skills bring the character to life. His ability to convey the complex emotions of betrayal, heartbreak, and determination contributes significantly to the film's impact.

Despite the intense emotions explored in the movie, it offers a sense of closure with a happy ending. This contributes to its appeal as a one-time watch, leaving viewers with a satisfying ending.

Aishwarya Rajesh's also did a good commendable portrayal. Altogether the movie is a good weekend time killer.

The film had a great start and the production design of this movie is set in Wayanad, where not many movies are shot. The story was engaging and started with a bang, but sadly, it lost its aura in the second half. The supporting actors were cracking in the first half and I admire the humour-rich conversation of Jaffer Idukki, who had an important role in the movie.

Joju was so good throughout but the movie collapses as it proceeds due to its weak screenplay. I expected more in the second half, and it would have been great if the creators could have put more effort into the second half. Below average experience overall.

Honestly that's all there is to say. Directed by AK Sajan. Story is of a police officer who lives in the middle of the jungle in a house made by his father. He's shown to be a loner who questions his sanity as his mother was chained up as a mad person. First few moments are his marriage not happening after engagement, he has his criteria for the woman he wants to marry also, don't work, use the bathroom outside etc. In the forest! He becomes unhinged when she doesn't show up for the wedding, and that's when Mahishmathi comes like a beautiful butterfly.. and he loses all control that night. There is also a tiger strolling around. The ending honestly was very predicable. Everyone acted well, that's one good think about this movie.
