Watched this movie 2nd time. One of the finest movies in Malayalam industry.
Vinayakayan was undeniably the finest and the toughest actor as usual. He portrayed extraordinarily about his love for the family and Sara kochu.
Priyamvada, i am speechless about her debut. Brilliant performance.
Movie is a must watch for everyone and never ever miss it.

"Thottappan" (Godfather) Malayalam movie
Film adaptation of the short story by Francis Noronha.
The story is of 'Ithakk' and his friend Jonnappan, petty thieves, Jonnappan's disappearance, Ithakk taking care of his friend's family .
The story is happening in the backwater islands of Kochi, the villagers, their simple way of living ... all in a big canvas, to form the presentation.
Even though the story starts with Ithakk on the centre stage, Sara, the God-daughter, takes the lead ... her upbringing, her surroundings, her interactions with the villagers, is the movie.
Vinayakan as Ithakk lived through the character, protective nature of his God daughter, the possessiveness depicted well. Priyamvada, the debutant actress did well in Sara's role. Their relationship told in a raw and vivid manner, even her lover boy Ismail a/s esmu unable to breach the wall.
Shanavas, the director took us through the presentation well, Screenplay by Rafeeque has uncanny similarity with 'Amen'.
Photography reminds us of 'Kumbalangi nights'. Music is enjoyable.
Even though the package is complete, presentation lacked the punch.
7 on 10 for this emotional drama.
Malayalam movies are bold enough to take up unusual themes and present them well.
Vinayakan leaves lasting memoirs, even after the movie.... that character is very strong.
This is a brilliant movie
Outstanding Making
Need to say about the Vinayakan,BGM and Camera Purely Best

I knew this movie is going to be good but I didn't expect it to be this good. It's about the feelings you develop inside while diving in it. The poetic tone, visuals and music. It's like a magic. Loved the sounds of guitar, clarinet, flute and violins in this. Great music work by the musicians. It's really a rare thing when you feel you are gonna love a movie at first few minutes but this is one of that kind. When you see Vinayakan and Dileesh walking and talking in first few minutes, you get that feeling. And it never drops till the end. Priyamvada, Roshan and those few but great actors are doing a remarkable job.
This movie is absolutely a masterpiece of art in malayalam Industry just like Ee.Ma.yau, kumbalangi nights. I can't say this is just a Realistic movie.. the music,the bgm, and the visuals make this movie as a well cafted art. The plot is i think based on a malayalam novel that i read in my childhood.. the performance of those three people Vinayakan,Female actress and Roshan mathew is mind blowing. The starkids and some dumbs who came in this industry with luck like Priya warrier has to learn from these youngsters.
