    Akashadooth

    A director can never make a much better movie than this.The mother's love for her children is the main highlight of the movie.The mother was born n brought up as an orphan and she doesn't want her children, who were not born as orphans to become orphans all of a sudden.The alcoholic husband depicts a typical Kerala common man.In the worst case scenario the husband gave up his habit of drinking and it clearly shows his love for Annie, his beloved wife.The mother was not ready to surrender to the disease without making her children's future safe.She was ready to sacrifice all her wealth,her four children and this is what she owns in her entire life.Three of her children were adopted but the disabled child remains.The child was happy spending his life with his mother.At the end of the movie, all the four children were crying seeing their mother's funeral and each of them were taken back by their adoptive parents.Anyhow the two brothers were united and it brings happiness and peace of mind to the viewers :)

    A well made movie by Sibi Malayil

    Movies like these catch your attention when you skip channels. A work of art is not easy to miss.

    This is a movie which may not appeal to a hedonistic generation. There is humour initially but later the movie focuses on the trauma that a family has to go through because of certain misfortunes.

    Each character has relevance and all actors have played their parts convincingly including the child artistes. I was especially moved by the character of the little boy in crutches towards the end.

    I almost knew while watching this movie that this is a work of Sibi Malayil. His quintessential style is evident in the subject and the handling of the movie.
