Kilometers and Kilometers

Bad movie, full of wrong stereotypes. Not worth watching.

In my thoughts it's a one time watchable feel good movie. All were well performed except that foreign actress . i like the Tovino-Basil combo. Also it may be the first malayalam movie to release through TV channel (Asianet). Although it's a good movie for a one time watch.

"Kilometers and Kilometers" is a Malayalam language comedy drama road adventure movie which was released in 2020. It is directed by Jeo Baby. I became a huge fan of him after watching "The Great Indian Kitchen" and I was curious about this movie only because of him. The story is about a guy, the only bread owner of the family is going through financial crisis. He gets offered a job of a tour guide to an American lady and the story goes on.

Tovino Thomas is the protagonist here. He performed really well. Despite being the protagonists, Joju George and Siddharth Shiva's performances were amazing. India Jarvis who plays the role of the American lady, was meh! The movie tells about human feelings. It says that the human relationships are also important. Money will not give you the ultimate happiness. Direction and cinematography are good. The comedy timing is perfect. All the songs are beautiful. The first half is really entertaining. But the second half is kind of bollywoodish. India is all about different cultures and different languages. These differences are perfectly shown in this movie. Some breathtaking views of Tamilnadu, Karnataka, Gujrat are taken.

I know, many of us are completely locked between the four walls. We didn't even go for a trip from a long time. It's a tough time for us. I think, this film can slightly pacify our anxieties. According to me, "Kilometers and Kilometers" is indeed a feel good and light hearted film you can watch with your family.

P. S: It's not a masterpiece like "The Great Indian Kitchen". Do not raise your expectations. Otherwise, you'll be disappointed.

A new movie of an upcoming star of Malayalam movie industry released directly to a satellite channel had raised much expectations. Right from the title to the promos viewers were expecting a road movie. It starts ok. But then gets confused on which direction to move on to and ends up being a mishmash of genres. The lead actor who's had some nice movies hams it up over here. Nice locations, a couple of good songs and a hope that things will turn for the better is what keeps us going along with this poor effort on storytelling. Eventually one ends up realising it is beyond redemption. I watched this on cable network and am not sure if the channel had further edited the movie at their end which turned the movie for the worse. It was the premiere show of the movie released on cable channel and this was my take away.

I liked this movie, it's a good entertainer for sure. Those who love travel would definitely love this move. Its quite emotional and better feeling move though..
