Oru Jaathi Jaathakam

It's a storyline with a lot of projections of confused understanding, and an attempt to find comedy through it. Seeing the film made me really miss the ability of certain individuals who were able to make everyone laugh a decade and half ago, it was simply fun and often had a clean finish. Nowadays, not many have that skill. Another thing I noticed is Vineeth is perfect now to portrait a Kollam-based character, his energy-level gives off that vibe. I don't know if the curse word used through-out the film is something commonly used around that area or not, and not including other regional expressions made me feel like they were lazy on that end. The ideology of embracing uncertainty or ambiguity is expressed through out the film, and felt like it is the statement that the film was making. Anyhow, not that good and not that bad, but bearable than some recent ones.

Well it's marketed as a romantic comedy, but it leans more towards dark humor, making it a unique experience. The film is packed with laugh-out-loud moments, seamlessly blending comedy into even the most serious scenes. It takes a bold and uncensored approach to satirizing LGBTQ+ topics, openly mocking societal perceptions while highlighting how, despite claims of progressiveness, these issues are still treated as taboos. The movie also offers a sharp critique of male chauvinism.

Vineeth Sreenivasan delivers an outstanding performance, effortlessly carrying the film with his impeccable comic timing. Scene after scene is laced with humor, making it an engaging watch. The supporting cast complements the narrative well, adding depth and energy to the film. The music is fair not something memorable, but it serves its purpose.

However, the film doesn't hold back, and its unapologetic dark humor might make some viewers feel uncomfortable or offended. It avoids political correctness entirely, which could be seen as refreshing or problematic, depending on one's perspective. Ultimately, "Oru Jaathi Jathakam" is a film that thrives on satire and dark comedy, leaving its interpretation to the audience's personal views. If you enjoy bold, no-holds-barred humor, this one's worth a watch !!

The movie has a very unique storyline with fresh comedy packed throughout the movie.

All actors did a great job and even the newcomers seem to have acted very well.

The film gives a unique and realistic perspective on how arranged marriages work today and also sheds light on the current generation's preferences and choices about their partner.

In my view, this is quite an underrated movie and deserves much more credit than what is mentioned online as reviews.

Music and bgm was okay but nothing outstanding there.

Direction was done very well and there did not seem to be any lag anywhere in the movie.

This was unbearable to watch. Just like M Mohanan's past movies the characters are cartoonish and the comedy is outdated. His movies makes me feel like I'm watching a play(natakam). Aravindante Athithikal is an exception.

Coming to OJJ, the actors have done a terrible job. But with writing and direction like this, I don't think anyone could've saved this movie. Most scenes made me cringe while they were going for comedy. I don't understand why there was so many characters. None of them had any depth at all. It had a satirical nature but it simply didn't work.

It's like the writer found some topics from social media comment box and made a script around it.

Seeing a comedy film after a long time in Malayalam.

Thumps up to Vineet Srinivasan and the director.

Must watch.

Encourage more comedy movies to come.

Fed up with suspese horror detective and crime movies in Malayalam.

Now we want comedy which we missed many years back.

Better way of picturization. All have done their parts perfectly

Vineet Srinivasan in at its best role and acted very well.

Best songs and dances.

Lot of new faces acted well too

Should encourage more comedy movies in Malayalam which we missed in since last 20 years.

Excellent movie to watch in theatre. Don't miss this movie which is a gem.
