Mylanchi Monjulla Veedu Review

Mylanchi Monjulla Veedu, is the Malayalam movie which got released today. Scripted by the popular script writer duo Sibi K Thomas and Uday Krishna and directed by  Debutant Benny Thomas. The film has a great star cast having Popular actor Jayaram and young star Asif Ali in the lead. As we all know the standard of Udayan-Sibi team’s scripts are constantly on the lower side for last 2 years and This film also offers  nothing better than that. We cannot get anything fresh or surprising after watching the movie.

We can say that Mylanchi Monjulla Veedu is a clever combination of Sibi-udayan duo’s some of the past films. The film is filled with all the elements  of their usual  festival films like family tussle, confusion created by marriages etc. we saw it in films like Udayapuram Sultan, Karyasthan etc which was scripted by them . The first half of the film is entertaining and can get pass mark owe to a good turn of events that lead up to the interval.

The story of the film revolves around the tussle  between two families called Parankiyath and Ambalamuttam. First one  isa Muslim family and the second one is a hindu-Nair family. The two families were on friendly terms years before the issues happened when one called Kasim Bhai of Parankiyath family killed one called Ramesh Kurup, member of Ambalamuttom family.  They are eagerly waitng for release of Kasim Bhai from jail to have their revenge on him. At the same time  Dr.Madhavankutty in the disguise of a Muslim named Mammootty  arrives in the scene for the treatment of Kasimbhai. From there the story of revenge, confusion etc starts. Popular actor Jayaram is palying the role of Madhavankutty aka Mammootty.

As a Debutant director, Benny Thomas gave an impressive performance. The film is ina festival mood with colours and richness. Jayaram and Asif Ali gave good performance as usual. But the presence of double meaning dialogues are sometimes very irritating.  Cinematography and back ground scoring was brilliant and Songs were also not bad. Kalabhavan Shajon and Babu Raj handled the comic part very well.

Overall Mylanchi Monjulla Veedu is a usual Sibi-Udayan film which is one time watchable for the audience. We should not recommend it to you all, but for some who can bear usual Sibi-Udayan flicks.
