Pathaam Valavu

RATED 4/10 Language: Malayalam Source: Nil

The movie making and cast is ultimate, other than that nothing appreciable thing in this movie. The movie is HIGHLY predictable from the beginning to end. The flashback also not connecting and ended up another simple revenge drama. The location and camera work was really good, but spoiled by the uninteresting screenplay.

There are good amount of emotions and sentiments, but presented in the same old way which we had seen thousand times in other movies. Highly disappointed with this unoriginal drama.

--just to fill 600 characters repeated below Highly disappointed with this unoriginal drama.

With the two main leads Joju George's Joseph and Mohanlal's Shikkar, M Padmakumar has already proven that he can conjure up intense and gripping thrillers based on real-life incidents. What aided him in those steller ventures are most importantly its scripts - by Shahi Kabir and Suresh Babu, respectively. Aditi Ravi, Swasika, Sudheer Karmana, Major Ravi, Nisthar Ahmed and Ajmal Ameer in the lead roles.

A decent thriller flick with a not so complicated story . We have seen the story before but the making is good. Soundtrack of the movie is well executed and makes the movie better. Good performances from the leads also makes the movie a one time watch worthy.

Patham Valav revolves around Suraj Venjaramoodu's character Solomon,who is a convict out on parole. After he doesn't return even after his parole term has ended, a police team is sent to bring him back. The cops are led by sub inspector M Sethunath (Indrajith Sukumaran), who has to reach the hospital for his wife's delivery but is given this last-minute assignment. Rest of the characters handled by Aditi Ravi, Swasika, Sudheer Karmana, Major Ravi, Nisthar Ahmed and Ajmal Ameer.

M Padmakumar back in his favourite space. With phenomenal actors like Suraj and indrajith the intensity of drama is another level. Suraj and indrajith portraying the conflicts of their respective characters reminded Joju and Dileesh Pothan from Joseph. Joseph was more of thriller while this is pure family drama.
