Jacobinte Swargarajyam

I still remember watching this the day it came out at PVR cinemas Kochi. I had no idea what this film was about neither have i seen its trailer but 40mins into this film my face was so lit up. I have a very close friend who is from Dubai. This film reminded me of her all throughout.

There is no great story or anything but what Vineeth Sreenivasan does best is put heart and soul into every frames and it shows. That one scene where Renji Panicker tells Nivin to look after his mother brought tears to my eyes. At the end of the film i was so happy.

Even today whenever i feel down or lonely i rewatch this film, i changed multiple mobiles after this but everytime i have this film inside the phone.

This is my happiness pill.💙

Awesome movie with a neat screenplay - Lot of maturity shown by the film maker in terms of screenplay post Premam - It a clean and neat editing and what a beautiful way to put all these things on screen - Its again a clean sweep.

A treat to malayalis in the movies form. This is a truly happened plot which has been showcased in the movie. Loved everyone's contribution in the film from families to strangers. Enjoyed it fully. Though the story was known but still there was an excitement to watch this film. The story didn't have anything new but the characters gave it a life.

Its always difficult to travel against the flow. Here Vineeth Sreenivasan took a nice step without much interfering the culture of a typical malayali. In general the word 'kachavadakkaran' is not accepted in kerala. Exceptions are there with a few. Culture level it sometimes belongs to certain families or at the most a few castes or certain regions. Boldly the lady character is telling that 'I am an Ichayathi'. It has got those kind of indications. I wish to view it is a movie of a lady : Jacob's wife. But normal clichés like 'Villianising the investor', 'negotiation is bad with him' etc are portrayed for making it consumable as a commercial movie. However we should always appreciate a director for these kind of things are as he is not publishing it as an art-movie. Hats off Vineeth.

I went into the theater quite angry at my friend because I told him to book a ticket for a Hollywood movie, but instead he had two tickets of Jacobinte Swargarajyam. When we came out of the theater, I had a smile on my face. My friend flashed a look at me which clearly said, "Wasn't it worth your money?". Yes, it was!

The first thing I noticed in the movie was the direction. Vineeth, you are perfect! Nothing less, Nothing More. Everything in a right quantity. All the cast were exceptional with their acting. Nobody looked artificial. The cinematography by Jomon was excellent and added the charm to the family environment. Shaan Rahman's music increased the threshold of this emotional roller-coaster!

For any person who watch a movie for its content, this one is an absolute treat! Don't know if a critic would give 10 stars, but I surely would!

Congo Team! You deserve the applause!
