Nadanna Sambhavam

Rating - 3/5

A family drama set on the backdrop of a housing colony.

The story puts light onto relationship and trust issues in a married life within a housing society.

Director has brushed upon some stereotyped subjects and that has great relevance in this status quo and domestic violence in family is portrayed effectively on screen. Audience missing connection in few sequences may be due to flat writing.

All the actors have made a decent performance in the movie. Good performances by Biju Menon, Suraj,Lijomol,Sruthi & Sudhy Kopa.

Director's attempt to convey the idea was fine but it was cringe in few areas. There was no other exciting factor that holds the audience onto the story.

It dropped on OTT with no noise at all, and the same was the case in theaters too. As there were no other good options, I gave it a go with minimal expectations, only to be surprised by how much I liked it.

A new couple relocates to a posh colony where the husband befriends all the women due to his happy-go-lucky nature. This doesn't sit well with the other husbands, and an incident eventually leads to the police station.

Biju Menon as the friendly husband is a treat to watch, performing with the perfect balance of charm, making it neither awkward nor creepy. Suraj Venjaramoodu is in his element as well, shining in his role as the insecure husband. Lijomol Jose is a surprise, delivering an earnest performance that makes her presence felt. Sudhi Koppa has an interesting role, which he justifies to the fullest. Johny Antony, Shruti Ramachandran, and the rest of the cast nail their respective parts.

The thread of the story is simple, yet it engages you right from the word go. Kudos to the captain of the ship, Vishnu Narayan, who delivers a splendid experience for viewers, showcasing his excellent directorial skills. It proves that a simple story can be engaging when executed well.

The screenplay is airtight and leaves no room for distraction. The dialogues are funny and relatable, as are the various couples portrayed, making the whole story feel like it's unfolding right outside your window.

In all its glory, this is a film that should be watched without a second thought. Expect a light-hearted family drama, perfect for a good time.

*** Nadanna Sambhavam Malayalam Movie Review ***

Directed by Vishnu Narayan starring Biju Menon, Suraj Venjaramoodu, Lijomol Jose, Shruti Ramachandran & Sudhi Koppa.

A housing colony of upper middle class, a new family enters there. The male of that family is very jovial, social person which attracts many women but it attracts a prickle to some males which in turn creates a tuff between them forms the story.

Biju Menon & Suraj Venjaramoodu, the lead roles had done their part very well. A red flag male characterization is well portrayed by Suraj.

His dialogues are minimal but his expression which the character lies the most had been perfectly enacted as in the movie there is are few characters which talks about his unpredictable and his strange behaviour so to convince to the audience Suraj had beautifully done.

Biju Menon's character is not a new type as he easily gets into the shoes of the role he gets.

Talking of the female characters, Lijo Mol's character who is paired opposite to Suraj, her character's is all a housewife with a disturbed family life so the anxiety, stress which she is carrying had been beautifully portrayed.

Overall, an above average yet a watchable flick.

Ajith-also known as Ajithettan (Suraj Venjaramoodu)-is in the midst of one of his regular drinking sessions with his close friends. The wolf pack represents different shades of entitled men, with unmistakable moralistic tendencies to pry into others' lives unnecessarily, including an undesirable online media journalist (an effective Sudhi Koppa). When someone from the group enquires about his recent holiday abroad with his family, Ajith immediately likens his wife, Dhanya (Lijomol Jose), and daughter to a heavy sack on his head, while equating the trip to the grandeur of Thrissur Pooram. Moments before this uncomfortable exchange, Dhanya's face suddenly turns dismal when Ajith takes a selfie during their daughter's birthday celebration, highlighting their dysfunctional marriage due to his indifference.

It was a laughter-packed delight for me. The movie clearly depicts the insecurities of the so- called successful men in our society. Suraj and Biju Menon- what a great combo. The lady actors - Lijomol and Shruti also deserves applause.

It's a small movie with a simple story, but I think the director executed it well. The production design was also very fitting for the film. I also enjoyed Sudhi Koppa's role in the movie and he has performed well in this role.

Suraj is rocking all the roles he is getting and his subtle mannerisms in the movie was just superb. I can't believe this is the same man who delivered those legendary comedy scenes fifteen years ago.

Give it a go..
