Ouseppinte Osiyathu

Very very poor sound direction. After watching the movie I came to the conclusion that Director Sarath Chandran never watched the movie post production. A poor try hard effort to release "a" movie I guess. Couple of people are walking across a water-stream and footsteps are dubbed in, not the water sound. If the sound director had put the effort he used to add the cigarette lighter sound he added every time Kalabhavan Shajon lit one, I would've given the movie a 4* rating. Again - a poor try hard effort. That's all I can say about this. Props to Vijayaraghavan Chettan for his unparalleled acting.

Ouseppinte Osiyathu is a rare film that speaks softly but leaves a lasting impact. Rooted in emotion and layered with meaning, it captures the tension between faith, loss, and quiet resilience. The performances are honest and grounded, especially from the lead cast, who carry the emotional weight of the story effortlessly. The visuals are beautifully composed, and the film's atmosphere is immersive without relying on theatrics. While the pacing may feel slow in parts, it serves the narrative's meditative tone. It's not just a story-it's a feeling. The kind of film that stays with you long after the screen fades to black. Highly recommended for those who appreciate cinema that's thoughtful, poetic, and emotionally rich.

Start till first half of the movie was pretty decent -a but slow, but realistic, showing a slice of life with good dialogues, screenplay and pretty good acting - but from middle to end - story just meanders and honestly the director and actors themselves were all over the place - the grounded, slice of life and realistic elements get stretched at many occasions in the second half.

Now that being said some of the performances were really good - but I do have a bone to pick some steller actors not used to anywhere their potential like Vigayaragavan, Kani Kusruti, Sherin Shihab etc.

Climax was slightly better - but it came out a bit abruptly. A better screenplay and more skilled director could have made this into decent movie - as it stands if you give this a miss, you won't be regretting at all. But should you watch, the first half would engage and you can skip through the later parts.

Movie is very serious in its approach and might not be successful in box office due to the lack of entertainment aspects like fights , comedy, heroism of Main actor ...

Positives : Nice Acting especially by Dileesh Pothan , Kalabhaban Shajon, Vijayaraghavan, Lena, attractive visuals - the movie is shot in Idukki district with areas like Peerumedu , kattappana the night scenes are especially visible and good, most scenes are full of greenery and breeze, good background score and there is only one song which is not bad

Negatives : climax is sudden and may not satisfy majority, simple storyline.

This movie had a simple plot and keeping aside the flows in the screenplay, the execution was above average. The veteran actors helped elevate the movie so that it wouldn't collapse like a house of cards.

The cinematography and production design deserves 10/10. It's always a refreshing experience to see Idukki on the big screen.

As mentioned above, there were a few flows in the screenplay that could have been easily avoided. There was a possibility to execute the second half more smoothly.

All the actors have done a fine job and I guess that Dileesh Pothan selects a script that has that'minimum' quality and most of his movies are good to watch.
