My review: Pullipulikalum Aattinkuttiyum
"Pullipulikalum Aattinkuttiyum" is a movie which gives you a pleasant feeling throughout while watching it. If there is something known as "feel good movie" this is it. Lal Jose has directed the story scripted by Sindhuraj. Story is a simple straight-forward one of the youngest brother (Aattinkutty) of the family trying to set things right in his dysfunctional family plagued by wastrels of three elder brothers (Pullipulikal). Screenplay is simple and lucid. Dialogues peppered with good dose of humour is brilliant.
What is striking about this movie is that though the story and narration are simple, somehow one gets hooked to the movie right from the beginning. The pleasantness of the mind with which one watches the movie is testimony to the fact that something is special with this movie. Be it the natural earthy characters effortlessly enacted by a stellar cast or the wonderful serene landscapes of Allapuzha and its hamlets captured pleasingly on camera or a soothing background score, movie keeps your mind feeling good.
Kunchako Boban with a different look is the heart and soul of this movie. He has given an excellent performance as Aadu Gopan the lone breadwinner of the family consisting of three elder brothers who booze away all the money he earns and a caring mother. Boban's portrayal sans melodrama is praiseworthy especially since there is ample space for the same. He is effortless in the light-hearted sequences and graceful in the romantic portions. He is ably supported by Namitha Pramod who is not only gorgeous but a natural actress too. A seamless transition from a haughty money-minded danseuse to a humble and lovable sweetheart of the protagonist is shown seamlessly by the actress.
Movie boast of a load of supporting actors who have all performed exceedingly well which elevates this simple movie to a higher level. Suraj Venjaramoodu is in one of his best performances. He is extremely funny and does well in the serious sequences too. Shammi Thilakan, Harishree Ashokan and the trio of Irshad, Shiju and Joju as the three elder brothers are all very good in their respective portrayals. Anushree and K.P.A.C.Lalitha lend good support while Bindu Panikar as the heroine's mother is excellent. She also has scope to showcase her versatility which she manages to do with elan.
Vintage Vidhyasagar is back with a bang with "Pullipulikalum...". Be it the songs or the background score, Vidhyasagar has enjoyed it to the core which shows. Background score is in line with the happy mood that is felt throughout the movie while songs are very good. "Otta thumbi" and "Kooti mootiya" are throwback to those days when every movie of his had couple of wonderful melodies. Pleased to see the ace composer back after a gap.
S.Kumar's cinematography is eye-catching having helped by the fact that the locations and the natural beauty of the places chosen have handsomely elevated the visuals. Technically movie is good.
Lal Jose continues to make merry with his feel good family entertainers. "Pullipulikalum.." will join the list of his successful movies.
On the whole, "Pullipulikalum Aatinkuttiyum" is a whole some feel good family entertainer to be watched in theater with your whole extended family on a sunday afternoon.
Bottomline: Pleasant...!!
3.5/5
