Pavi Caretaker

Director tried to bring the vintage Dileep back but literally failed. Mostly cliche scenes and nothing different. More over nowadays people dont like Dileep movies. In my town where usually movies get filled soon during weekend but to my surprise i see no tickets are booked till now..Dileep must try something different in future like negative role , uncle , father or elder brother like that.

Other factor it resembles most of his old hit movis like Body guard , Parakkum Thalika ,vettom etc. If this movie was released during 90's would have been a hit. But not in 2024 for sure. Better luck next time with some senior character role..

This film was ok, performances over the top, Dileep and director trying to recreate slapstick and cliched physical comedy of 2000s ( homages or scenes reminiscing of CID Moosa, Parakkumthalika, Vettam etc. Put in)

But the story and character development was given less priority in going for the comedy!

Also screenplay is hit and miss and supporting acting was below average.

The movie is not as bad the rating I gave, movie is watchable when it is comes on TV - can watch on a lazy afternoon - when you don't want logic, but just entertainment. But Malayalam movies and audience deserve better ! The story and premise had potential and a better more serious treatment! Ity

The leads character got messed up trying to inject comedy - because Pavi in comedy scenes and in other scenes are totally different - it's like he is suffering multiple personal disorder.

*** Pavi Caretaker Malayalam Movie Review ***

Directed by Vineeth Kumar starring Dileep in the lead role.

Plot of the Movie.

Pavithran a Ex NRI returned to hometown serving a security guard duty in an apartment. Leading a single life, his only companion is a dog whom its refereed as "bro." One moment comes up when a girl whom he has not seen become his most important person in his life & how his life changes is all about the movie.

Movie Analysis.

1) We could able to see Dileep performing his best when he comes in his ground. Comedy and Dileep are always hand to hand & here we could see that magic again.

2) The story gives the shades of his earlier movie "Bodyguard" but still it is a watchable flick.

3) As the title suggest, Pavi is the care taker of the apartment, but in life when he was in the notion there is no need of anyone but a moment which changes his view towards his life & he feels that there is a need of care taker not only to take care during his old age but throughout his life a person whom he could share his thoughts , express his emotions , rely blindly , the story although seems to be heard a lot but still it's a point to be remembered in each one's life.

Overall a decent watchable Dileep fun flick.

Pavi Caretaker stays true to the classic Dileep formula, blending humor and simplicity in a way that feels both nostalgic and refreshing. While the film doesn't push any new boundaries, it offers a pleasant change from the flood of low-quality OTT content that has become all too common. The plot is straightforward, but the humor and lighthearted moments are well-executed, keeping you entertained throughout.

Dileep's performance is consistent with his earlier roles. Despite the controversies surrounding him, Pavi Caretaker stands on its own as a fun and engaging film. It doesn't aim to reinvent the wheel but succeeds in delivering a solid and enjoyable viewing experience. If you're looking for a straightforward, feel-good film, this one fits the bill.

This is a typical dileep chali movie which usually doesn't have a quality comedy or content .

Other reviews seems to be paid PR work as it's nearly impossible to watch this cringy lazy creation.

The acting is mediocre with very weak script and cringe dialogues.

Dileep is a very outdated actor and it's obvious that he wouldn't be able to pull off a good movie by himself nowadays. It's better thst he should be doing some ammavan type roles since his aged face suits only that nowadays.

The theatre was half empty to begin with and many of the people went outside in the middle of the movie that alone tells the quality of this movie .
