It's heartbreaking to see talented and wise actors like Vineeth Sreenivasan and Vijay Raghavan become a part of a circus such as this that not only is mindless to the core but is also uncalled for. Aimless comedies such as Aadu 2 (2017) and Adi Kapyare Kootamani (2015) that exist just to make their audience laugh have been present in Malayalam cinema for years, but Aana Alaralodalaral is much deeper than those. It sits on a story that is so ridiculous that you almost feel nauseous. A man (Sreenivasan) wrongly accused of stealing a gold artifact leaves the town amid family-wide embarrassment to come back years later to seek revenge. And how does he do that? By purchasing an elephant (associated with the artifact) and trying to circumcise him. Every single plot element - from Suraj Venjaramoodu's intentions to Anu Sithara's character and her disposition - is something that will put you off. They will put you off so much you will stop watching Aana Alaralodalaral, which is also about religious bias, and never look back. This one has been made with zero imagination, preparation, and diligence and is not suitable for viewership. There are a lot of bad films of 2017, and this one here is right along with them at the bottom. Skip for life. TN.
