Thattathin Marayathu

So, I was overwhelmed by the response of this movie and decided to watch it. I usually don't watch Romantic movies and this one reminded me why.

Well, the plot is typical. You add an inter-caste factor and publish the story in a 21st century where the girl and boy both don't own a mobile phone. The hype created was too much for this average movie. This type of movie can only gain success to people who have not watched epics from Hollywood & Bollywood. Or French cinema, for that matter!

Vineet Srinivasan is very clever at grabbing the attention of cinema- goers who are bored by the usual remakes and boring slapstick.

Bottom line, this movie does not have much to offer with sporadic jokes and lack of panache!

I rate it 5 for the comedy part and Nivin Pauly's performance. Isha Talwar has dialogues equal to that of a cameo appearance by Srinvasan.

BADS: Disappointing! Clichéd! Hyped!

GOODS: Enjoyable! Romantic! Adorable & Funny!

Ideally, one should have no perception of the movie before starting off watching it. But I held one - this movie is made by a very young director Vineeth Sreenivasan and hence the movie would reflect inexperience. Well, that anticipation helped. It was better than the anticipation.

The best part of the movie was Ayesha and her beauty. Nivin pauly has acted well and has captured the head-over-heels-in-love endearingly.

The movie is sprinkled with songs all along and that adds to the general feel-good of the movie.In fact, movie is all feel-goods and not much of a story.

There were some good humor scenes too. Abdu as Vinod's friend has done a good job. The audience shared good laughs through out the movie.

However, I am not sure how to explain such huge success that the movie has claimed. It is a soother and a nice one - good job Vineeth.

Thattathin Marayathu defines a rendition that surpasses the most contemporary or avant-garde script with its sheer guiltlessness and a straight from the heart ambiance. The common perceptibility while watching something conceived by a 27 year old is strongly questioned by the overall cinematic brilliance. Thattathin Marayathu may have loose ends as would any masterpiece that our industry has seen. But the fact that it elucidates the innocence concealed in an intercast love story and crafts it with a simple storyline depicting the nuances of conventional characters is purely magical. The thread is finely woven with many unpredictable and impulsive moments that literally sparks your nostalgia and creates that I may have done this? feeling. The movie gently floats from a light hearted youthfulness to unperturbed romantic shores with ease and panache. The characters are well sketched and the cast delivers a sincere and candid feat. The untangling of issue towards the climax may have needed some slight nourishment. Nevertheless, the absence of a terrific storyline is often understated as it glides through the luminous performance by the entire cast, tactical and exuberant narration, Brilliant cinematography reinforced with some soul stirring scores by Shaan. Full credits to Vineeth for presenting viewers with a narrative that is not just refreshing but brimming with life

Rating... 8.5/10 At heart, director Vineet Sreenivasan is a musician first and like his soft songs, every scene and line in the movie is rendered with a youthful symphony pleasing to the soul. Perhaps even more praiseworthy is the way he has brought out the best in everyone including the child artists.

Protagonist Nivin Pauly has delivered a good performance and his compatriots in the movie fit well into their characters. This bunch of next gen molly-wood actors show promise. Isha Talwar is beautiful and has the makings of a future Katrina Kaif... And that means exactly what u think it does :) She has few scenes where any acting is warranted and even fewer lines, perhaps because her lip movements are out of sync with the Malayalam lines, to do justice -a language that is foreign to her.

The music is wonderful, but you probably already new that. The story delivers its message subtly without compromising on entertainment.

Its been a while since I have seen a good portrayal of young love in Malayalam cinema... This one was definitely worth the wait.

'Thattathin Marayath' is Romantic, Youthful and musical...

We might had n number of romantic movies of boy and girl from different religion loving each other. Some had tragedy ending or romantic ending. But.. Script and direction of the movie will give you a pleasant, youthful, romantic and musical experience. Kudos to Vineeth Sreenivasn and team. Movie has hero, but all the character is well blended. No specialist comedy artist, but movie is totally comedy mixed romantic movie.

Music is soothing. Good BGM music. Shaan Rehman is a bright promise. Muthusippi and 'Anuragathilvelayil' songs are highlights.

Special mentions to dialog's. Esp those which means 'Ayisha as a girl will come with you, but not ayisha as a Muslim' & 'Black clothes should cover women pureness not her dreams' Recommended for those who are young at heart.
