    Good one to Fast Forward after first 10 mins

    Waste of time. Kunjachacko has gone seriously wrong with this one.

    Movie could have been so much better. Even the humour is lopsided, warped and trite. Clichéd situations, mysoginistic (what's new), talentless lead actress who is half the age of the middle aged lead actor (but perfect hair, sarees and bleached face of course, is in place - Acting is optional).

    Story goes for a toss after 10 mins or so. Rudderless direction with silly dialogues.

    I would not even this is a one time watch.

    Given this is a Malayalam movie, I can only imagine that such ridicous movies are few and far between, as the industry has some excellent talents, way better than any other regional cinemas in India. Otherwise God help the Malayalam movie industry.

    Amazing script/comedy

    It's Brilliant writing and acting . Very subtle acting . Hats off to Malayalam for writing such scripts.

    It's a must watch. Shows that you don't need big budget to make good movies . Not sure how come it's not rated high. I will recommend this live to everyone whom I know . There a reason why every character is there in the movie . Nothing is forced in the script for the sake of filling in time. No unwanted songs or fights in the movie . One of the best comedies that I have watched in recent times without any adult comedy. Need such simple movies where you can sit and watch with everyone in the family.

    The good and bad - it is too simple

    RATED 6/10 Language: Malayalam Source: Netflix

    The beginning was ultimate and it was ROFL. But they failed miserably to carry that one till the end. The movie was too simple and waiting for some banging moment till the end. But ended with that simplicity in the end also.

    There are some good funny and feel good moments in this movie. But that is not enough to carry the movie for 2 hours. Finally felt it was dragged.

    The characters are bit interesting and the story also. There is a big lag in the middle portion. The movie starts to sparkle when Vincy starts appear in the end portion, but that also not satisfying.

    This is one time decent watch.

    Romantic Comedy Drama

    I watched this movie in Cinipolis, Kochi.

    It was very funny movie filled with nice comedy scenes Weak script but satisfied with well directed (good direction). Performance of all actors & actresses were up to their mark. Love you muthe song was super.

    Decent background score by Jakes. Simple story film.

    Weak script. Some comedy doenot work out.

    The film is all about love , marriage, cheating in love ..

    The film is a small & budjeted. The actors of the filim are very popular & experienced in the industry. So people definitely expect more from this filim. Better they do this filim with new faces.

    It surely satifies family audiance...

    A decent one-time watch for me.

    Rameshan gets married to Smrithi. First Night: There's a power outage in the house, so they take a walk in the fields in the well moonlit-night, only to find out that Smrithi's lover pulled the fuse out. She apologizes for the whole thing and elopes with her boyfriend in a Premier Padmini (a car 90s kids in India would be familiar with) The townsfolk, in a mocking manner, rename Rameshan as Padmini Rameshan and he HATES it. All of this happens in the first 5 mins of the film.

    I've not come across a 'quirky' story such as this before. Leave it to Mollywood to make a whole film out of a nothing-burger plot, and make it well! This film was very enjoyable in the first half. The acting and the choice of dialogues were well done, even had some LOL moments while commenting on a couple social issues here and there. Things quickly went downhill in the 2nd half, at least for me. I wish they'd thought it through. What should have been a fantastic film ended up being a okay-ish onetime watch.

    Still enjoyable though, run it in the background if you have nothing else to watch and are looking for something relaxing.
