Paachuvum Albhuthavilakkum

I'm really happy about the way the movie turned out. Such a feel good cinema. It's been a while since I watched such a nicely taken family movie.

Written and directed perfectly.

The casting is perfect. Will surely melt anyone with a heart. Really happy to know that Malayalam cinema is secure with the next generation of film makers. Can't congratulate the director enough. Worthy of debut by Akhil Sathen, Son of Sathyen Anthicad (A perfect movie to start his directorial career indeed).

Can't find much flaws, but to nit pick, i may say that the length is a bit on the longer side but not lagged even a little. So that too is not a problem.

The simple scene sequences and simple characters are the best part of this movie... at the same time the characters changes their colour abruptly throughout the movie, this one issue reduces the authenticity of the movie...

There are lot of Fahad moments and his presence felt from the beginning to end. With great cast and acting, there is still something missing... There are too many characters and side stories, which makes the main story also like another side story...

The kid swamy and grandma are awesome...Fahad did multiple times similar roles... One time watchable...

Yeah! A movie worth ENJOYING at the big screen for all kind of audience, after a long time in Mollywood. An awesome feel-good movie filled with humor.

Fahadh is brilliant with his script selection in recent years! Him being phenomenal as usual and supported by the fantastic performance of others(especially the child & grandma), the cast is just perfect. The performances of Vineeth and Anjana are also to be noted. Each one of them has put out their best for it. The craftsman Akhil Sathyan has done a brilliant job with the wonderful story(written by himself) and in engaging the audience with all the emotions a movie can convey. In fact, I loved it more than the spectacular "Njan Prakashan".

There are a few scenes that relates very much to our lives, that could really make us emotional. The dialogues are explicit and plays a key role in making the movie this much gripping. The film is a little bit lengthy, which is NOT AT ALL a negative factor, but blesses us with more moments to enjoy this beautiful piece of art.

This is a not-to-miss-in-theatre movie, amazing experience.

Fahadh Faasil (re)enters the universe built by the Anthikkads (Sathyan, Anoop, and now the debuting Akhil) and almost single-handedly makes us care for a plot that offers little to no surprises and moves along at a very predictable pace. Don't be turned off by the 2h 51m run-time. Akhil Sathyan mostly treads the footsteps of his father while penning the script for Pachu (shortened), where the routine life of the protagonist suddenly takes a detour owing to the interference of one (or more) female characters. While Sathyan Anthikkad rarely ventured outside Kerala (or Tamil Nadu) to tell his stories filled with "goodness", Akhil Sathyan uses 3 different locations to narrate his - Mumbai, Goa, and Kerala (in bits & pieces). Mumbai and Goa, especially, have been captured nicely.

The humour is mostly subtle and situational, which works in its favour. Some of the casting choices (aside from Fahadh) are superb. Anjana Jayaprakash plays Hamsadhwani, a character that seems inconsequential at first, but blends into the proceedings seamlessly. Scenes featuring Fahadh and her, while carried by Fahadh's improvisations, are wonderful to watch. Vineeth also gets a worthwhile role after a pretty long gap, reminding us that it's not just his voice that Malayalam cinema needs to use more of. Given it's the final film of the late great Innocent, seeing him too brings forth genuine smiles. The subplot that involves saving a poor child from the Goan slums had the potential to fizzle out the entire movie. But the writing never goes the melodramatic route and the performances remain grounded.

Pachuvum Adbhuta Vilakkum, a Malayalam film released in 2023, is a delightful cinematic experience that skillfully tackles various social issues with a touch of humor and sensibility. As a dedicated fan of Fahad, I may be slightly biased, but it is undeniable that his performance adds a magical touch to the movie.

One of the aspects that truly stood out for me in this film is the exceptional work of the Malayalam movie writers. Their ability to capture and portray the intricacies of human emotions with the utmost attention to detail is truly commendable. It's an absolute joy to witness the characters' emotions come to life on the screen, and I particularly appreciate how they seamlessly blend humor and sensitivity in their storytelling.

I had the privilege of watching the movie in its native language with subtitles, ensuring that I didn't miss out on the authentic essence of the film. It's always a wonderful experience to immerse oneself in a regional movie's cultural nuances and linguistic beauty, and Pachuvum Adbhuta Vilakkum certainly did not disappoint in this regard.

One of the greatest strengths of this film is its family-friendly nature. It provides wholesome entertainment that viewers of all ages can enjoy. I enjoyed watching it with my kids and parents, and the experience was thoroughly enjoyable for all of us. The movie managed to evoke genuine smiles and leave us with a sense of contentment.

In conclusion, Pachuvum Adbhuta Vilakkum is an absolute gem of Malayalam cinema in 2023. It adeptly addresses significant social issues while maintaining a lighthearted and enjoyable narrative. Fahad's captivating performance adds a touch of magic to the film, and the writers' ability to depict emotions with incredible precision is awe-inspiring. If you're looking for a clean and heartwarming movie that can be cherished with your loved ones, this film is a perfect choice.
