If the initial response is anything to go by, Mohanlal will surely continue from where he left last year. The actor had a blockbuster 2016 with three mega hits. One of them went on to touch unprecedented heights for a Malayalam cinema.

Munthirivallikal Thalirkkumbol movie is a perfect entertainer that will once again the families to theatres. Positive word of mouth and Mohanlal’s recent golden run will only help the movie register big numbers at the box office. It is produced by Sophia Paul under the banner Weekend Blockbusters.

Munthirivallikal Thalirkkumbol Review

Mohanlal’s next after the historic success of Pulimurugan, Munthirivallikal Thalirkkumbol was released today in 337 thetares across India. This much anticipated movie is directed by Vellimoonga fame Jibu Jacob and also marks the joining together of Drishyam couple Mohanlal and Meena once again.

Into the plot, Munthirivallikal Thalirkkumbol is a story about Ulahnnan, fondly called as Unnachan, and his family. Unnachan, a panchayath secretary is married to Aniyamma and the couple has two kids. He has a somber relationship with his wife. Both of them find solace somewhere else- Unnachan with his neighboring friends and Aniyamma like any other middle class homemaker- Tv serials. Venu Kuttan (Anoop Menon), his neighbor is also a married guy but unlike Unnachan he is into some extra marital relationships. This provokes Ulahannan also to try a hand in a new relationship. That is when Julie (Neha Saxena) comes into his life but that relationship doesn’t work. At a particular instance Ulahannan realizes his feelings for Aniyamma and the grapevine of love sprouts once again between them. The second half elevates the mood further with a mix of emotions and relationship values and all this is done without touching the preachy side.

M Sindhuraj has written this script based on the short story Pranayopanishath written by James VJ. The screenplay is well-balanced without any real dull moments. Unlike Vellimoonga, where it was counter comedy, most of the humour in this movie are situational. Jibu Jacob has churned out a perfect entertainer and has not succumbed to the pressures of helming a star vehicle.

Technically, a slight glitch we could see was the overuse of helicam shots and the CG works used to show Ulahannan’s younger days.

Coming to the performance side, director Jibu Jacob in a recent interview said “no one else could play Ulahannan”. The director was spot on. Though many filmmakers in recent times have claimed that the audience will get to see the Mohanlal of old times in their movies, we got to see only half baked characters. But not this time around, Ulahannan had enough elements for the old Mohanlal to come back on screen. It looks like the actor has thoroughly enjoyed playing the role. We could see his trademark wits, charm and many other ‘Mohanlal’ moments.

Meena played Aniyamma’s role perfectly. Anoop Menon as Venukuttan was a delight to watch on screen. His role had a lot of scope for humour and he gave a fine performance. Aima Rose Sebastian, Kalabhavan Shajon, Alencier Ley, Srinda Arhaan and all other supporting artists have played their parts well.

Suraj Venjaramoodu’s role had shadows of many such characters he has played in the past. The usually reliable Asha Sharath’s role also could have been avoided.

Overall, Munthirivallikal Thalirkkumbol is a clean entertainer for the audience especially the families to enjoy wholeheartedly.

We recommend this as a must watch for all the families out there. Sure shot blockbuster.

Aamir Khan comes out in support of Zaira Wasim

Zaira Wasim, the teen age actor who grabbed the attention of the audience across the country with her marvellous performance in Dangal is now a victim of social media trolls. The 16 year old girl from Kashmir was trolled heavily in social media platforms after her meeting with Jammu and Kashmir Cheif Minister Mufti Mehbooba.

The J&K Chief Minister called Zaira Wasim as a role model and this apparently lead to all the backlash.
Both the women were called Indian agents. This forced Zaira to write two posts on Facebook saying she doesn’t want to be considered a role model. She later deleted these posts.

Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan today has come out in full support of his Dangal co-star. He wrote,

“I have read Zaira’s statement, and I can understand and imagine what lead her to make that statement. Zaira, I want you to know that we are all with you. The beauty is that bright, young, talented, hardworking, respectful, caring and courageous kids like you are a role model for kids not only in India, but across the world. You certainly are a role model for me! May god bless you. Love. Aamir,”

He added a P.S.: “I appeal to everyone to now leave her alone and respect the fact that she is just a 16 yr old girl trying her best to deal with life.”

Support has been flowing in from many corners for Zaira. Cricketer Gautham Gambhir, actor Anupam Kher, Union Minister Jitendra Singh, J&K opposition leader Omar Abdullah, wrestler Geeta Phogat, whom she played in Dangal, also defended teenage film star.

Zaira Wasim had earlier written in her Facebook page,

“I am being projected as a role model for Kashmiri Youth. I want to make it very clear that I do not want anyone to follow in my footsteps or even consider me as a role model. I’m not proud of what I’m doing and I want everyone, especially the Youth, to know that there are real role models out there whether they be in this time or history. To even consider me as a role model would be disgracing them and their disgrace would be our disgrace,”

Jomonte Suvisheshangal Review

Dulquer Salmaan’s latest release directed by veteran Sathyan Anthikkad hit screens today amidst high expectations. Let’s cut straight to the plot.

It deals with a businessman Vincent, played by Mukesh, who started from a humble background and has now reached the pinnacles of success through his hard work. He is a widower with 4 children, two girls and two boys. Muthumani plays the eldest of the siblings, then Vinu Mohan, Dulquer Salmaan and Oozham fame Rasna Pavithran. The movie begins with the youngest sibling Rasna’s wedding. Dulquer’s character Jomon is an easy going irresponsible youth, a representative of today’s generation. But at one point, their family business hits rock bottom and the rest of the plot deals with how Vincent and Jomon win back their business empire.

Dulquer Salmaan’s Jomon has striking similarities to Jayaram’s Roy from Veendum Chila Veetukaryangal also directed by Sathyan Anthikkad. But the actor has brought some much needed freshness through his charming performance. Mukesh’s performance as Vincent is his best in recent times. All the supporting actors including Anupama Parameswaran, Aishwarya Rajesh, Jacob Gregory, Vinu Mohan, Muthumani, Sivaji Guruvayoor have all played their parts well.

Dr Iqbal Kuttippuram’s script has nothing new to offer but the situational humour and the lead cast’s performance makes up for the flaws in the script. The director has cleverly played it to the galleries in many scenes to please Dulquer’s fans.

Technically, the movie is much more superior than Sathyan Anthikad’s previous movies. But CG works are a big let down.

Jomonte Suvisheshangal review rating report, , dulquer, sathyan anthikad, Jomonte Suvisheshangal hit or flop, Jomonte Suvisheshangal genuine review, latest malayalam movie review

Jomonte Suvisheshangal has some resemblance to Nivin Pauly’s Jacobinte Swargarajyam. Mukesh’s Vincent is very much similar to Renji Panicker’s Jacob. While it was steel business in the Nivin Pauly starrer, here it is textile exports.

In a nutshell, Jomonte Suvisheshangal delivers what we expect from a Sathyan Anthikkad movie- a feel good entertainer with perfect balance of humour and emotions. Don’t go in with high expectations after watching the director’s interviews. It is nothing but an one time watch clean entertainer.
