Kettiyollaanu Ente Maalakha

Yet again Malayalam movie makers have excelled in making a light and humorous movie on a sensitive issue with such a brilliance. Untill the first half, it's not even clear where the movie is heading. However the second half and esp the last 30 minutes were a real surprise and beautifully crafted.

A lot of the supporting cast are fresh faces and they add a pinch of reality to the whole setting. Movie revoles around the backdrop of a "high range" farmer and his social circle. Asif Ali's chemistry with his mother and sisters is charming. The director has upholded the tradition of ' attention to detail ' like many of the Malayalam movie makers. First 10-15 minutes will take everyone through the life of a rubber farmer in Kerala in a very realistic way.

Rincy, Slevan's (Asif Ali) wife goes through an life changing experience and the actress has done a brilliant job showcasing the same. Special mention to Basil Joseph who plays the role of Slevan's Employee and a close aide. I personally love the way he has been chosing roles and delivering the with such brilliance. He himself being a director has chosen small but powerful characters recently.

Overall a light hearted yet a striking movie.
