Rating... 8.5/10 At heart, director Vineet Sreenivasan is a musician first and like his soft songs, every scene and line in the movie is rendered with a youthful symphony pleasing to the soul. Perhaps even more praiseworthy is the way he has brought out the best in everyone including the child artists.

Protagonist Nivin Pauly has delivered a good performance and his compatriots in the movie fit well into their characters. This bunch of next gen molly-wood actors show promise. Isha Talwar is beautiful and has the makings of a future Katrina Kaif... And that means exactly what u think it does :) She has few scenes where any acting is warranted and even fewer lines, perhaps because her lip movements are out of sync with the Malayalam lines, to do justice -a language that is foreign to her.

The music is wonderful, but you probably already new that. The story delivers its message subtly without compromising on entertainment.

Its been a while since I have seen a good portrayal of young love in Malayalam cinema... This one was definitely worth the wait.

Thattathin Mareyath is a simple yet engaging movie with a plot so clichéd yet so refreshing. I was amazed how the movie never fails to amuse, albeit getting the vibe of whats in store ahead. Now thats the magic of a writter cum director, here we have Vineeth Sreenivasan who makes a giant leap from "Malarvadi".

Breaking all my presumptions, Nivin pauly does it in style as the bloody blushing lover boy and as for the lady love, her looks were more than enough. The co-cast all supportive and hilarious, we get some good laughs when they all fit in. Special mention to shan rahman for roping in with some romantic tracks.

Ha! How i loved the romantic scenes, the surreal textures, the background scores which all reminded me of my lovelife! A good watch. 6.5/10

So, I was overwhelmed by the response of this movie and decided to watch it. I usually don't watch Romantic movies and this one reminded me why.

Well, the plot is typical. You add an inter-caste factor and publish the story in a 21st century where the girl and boy both don't own a mobile phone. The hype created was too much for this average movie. This type of movie can only gain success to people who have not watched epics from Hollywood & Bollywood. Or French cinema, for that matter!

Vineet Srinivasan is very clever at grabbing the attention of cinema- goers who are bored by the usual remakes and boring slapstick.

Bottom line, this movie does not have much to offer with sporadic jokes and lack of panache!

I rate it 5 for the comedy part and Nivin Pauly's performance. Isha Talwar has dialogues equal to that of a cameo appearance by Srinvasan.

BADS: Disappointing! Clichéd! Hyped!

GOODS: Enjoyable! Romantic! Adorable & Funny!

THATTATHIN MARAYATHU... an amazing attempt by Vineeth Sreenivasan and his team. The script was good with the first half aimed at comedy and the second half having a mix of both humor and emotion. Though the script was medium and normal, the way the movie has been executed is worth saying. Nivin Pauly was the highlight of this film. Aju Varghese excels in his role as Nivin's first mate and has hit a funny bone in the movie whenever needed. Each and every cast member like Sreenivasan, Kurudi had their own roles executed perfectly. Though, Isha Talwar had no role compared to the others, her beauty and her presence has given it a sparkling touch. Great work by Shaan Rahman and Vineeth on the music of this film. Every song excels in its timing and the background music is worth saying. The film stands upon its description as a musical romance and the script, cast and crew have just given a very supportive hand in it. 2 hours of ultimate fun, emotion and music, that's what i can guarantee in this film. A must watch!!

Vineeth Sreenivasan has once again came up with a beautiful cinematic experience. It's a simple movie without any unconventional plots or twists, no any high profile song sequences, null amount of high dose action scenes. It tells the story of Vinod(Nivin Pauly) a simple guy from Telicherry town who adores a Muslim girl Aisha(Isha Talwar)of a wealthy family. The crux of the movie lies in the efforts made by Vinod & his friends to approach Aisha and thereafter make her fall for her. Vineeth has once again impressed with a well written script and equally good direction, which was well supported by DOP Jomon and all other crew members. Nivin has been impressive in his role and the new face Isha has caught every eyes with her stunning beauty. On the whole a good movie, which you would like to see again and again

TATTATTHIN MARAYATHU REVIEW At last Malayali's have learned to 'tolerate' a love story.Vineeth promised just a nice feel after leaving the theater.Yes he has given that feel.This film doesn't comes under epic romance movies like 'Namukku Parkkan Munthiri Thoppukal', 'Sallapam','Azhakiya Ravanan' or even 'Niram'.Still it gives us that feel. SCRIPT:Story is a predictable ,simple love story.,yet we will feel some suspenses.Dialogues are well written.The author communicated his views through some striking dialogs.,like.Love is always Painkili.,Vineeth tried hard to keep up the standard.,as we all know Malayalam is a bad language for love.Talassery slang is heard first time in ,alayalam films,Its happy to hear something Malabari.The biggest gift of Vineeth is his sense of humor.He sees humor in a different way.Entry of Kurudi really rocked.Script has some flaws,some unwanted scenes like the one in hospital and party office. DIRECTION:Vineeth has improved very much.He has become a class director now.Some scenes are out of the world.Waiting for Aisha near Che Guevara poster is the best scene.,i will say. ACTING:Outstanding acting by Nivin Pauly.Mollywood has got a new talent.'Marich Abhinayikkika Ennoke Kettitte Ullu'.80% of the film is his scenes,It would have been a disaster if doomed it.Isha didn't had anything to do., But she stunned us with her ravishing beauty.Aju,Bagath,and Santhosh did well. TECHNICAL:I got the front raw seat.Couldn't able to visualize the movie.I think camera was good.However Joemon captured Isha Talwar's beauty. SONGS AND BGM:Vineeth should use a good music director for songs and stop writing songs himself.All sons except Muthichippi bored me.BGM was cool. Its not a must watch movie.,but If u wanna feel the love for 2 hours.,It will be a nice experience RATING:7.5/10

'Thattathin Marayath' is Romantic, Youthful and musical...

We might had n number of romantic movies of boy and girl from different religion loving each other. Some had tragedy ending or romantic ending. But.. Script and direction of the movie will give you a pleasant, youthful, romantic and musical experience. Kudos to Vineeth Sreenivasn and team. Movie has hero, but all the character is well blended. No specialist comedy artist, but movie is totally comedy mixed romantic movie.

Music is soothing. Good BGM music. Shaan Rehman is a bright promise. Muthusippi and 'Anuragathilvelayil' songs are highlights.

Special mentions to dialog's. Esp those which means 'Ayisha as a girl will come with you, but not ayisha as a Muslim' & 'Black clothes should cover women pureness not her dreams' Recommended for those who are young at heart.

Ideally, one should have no perception of the movie before starting off watching it. But I held one - this movie is made by a very young director Vineeth Sreenivasan and hence the movie would reflect inexperience. Well, that anticipation helped. It was better than the anticipation.

The best part of the movie was Ayesha and her beauty. Nivin pauly has acted well and has captured the head-over-heels-in-love endearingly.

The movie is sprinkled with songs all along and that adds to the general feel-good of the movie.In fact, movie is all feel-goods and not much of a story.

There were some good humor scenes too. Abdu as Vinod's friend has done a good job. The audience shared good laughs through out the movie.

However, I am not sure how to explain such huge success that the movie has claimed. It is a soother and a nice one - good job Vineeth.

Hindu youth Vinod has a chance encounter with Aisha, niece of a powerful Muslim political leader, Abdul Khader, and falls in love. The movie starts mid-story, with the hero being jailed for trespassing into Abdul Khader's property to see Aisha. The story unfolds as narrated by Vinod to the Sub Inspector. The soul of the movie is how Vinod explores his feelings for Aisha, and tries to see how she would fit into his life. The style of narration is the revised, youth-centered, casual form that is becoming increasingly popular in Malayalam movies; it's the shifting of gear to a new era.

However, as far as the plot goes, it is simple, cute, and pleasant, but not novel. There is absolutely nothing new in the story. I have been getting rave reviews about the movie, and went in expecting something fresh. It's not. It's enjoyable enough, but simply doesn't have enough content.

I went for this movie watching the superb ads, songs and high rating in IMDb. No doubt the songs are good, the beautiful actress is just as the hero explains in trailer!! Another reason going for this movie is Mr. Srinivasan and his son. Most of the Srinivasan's (eg. Gadhama, Arabikatha, Traffic, C. Shymala etc) movies are good. But Vineeth's inexperience in direction is quite evident.

If you have seen the ads and the songs, then you have seen the entire movie. An example where a movie can gather crowds just with good songs and stunning actress (Isha Talwar).

There is nothing in this movie other than a straight forward love story which ends in marriage. Story, direction, sets are all plain simple. Youngster's brand costume's of the hero and friends contrast a lot with surrounding crowd, which should have avoided!!

A good actor Manoj K. Jayan's artificial Trivandrum accent is just awful, (he shouldn't have attempted Venjaramoodu)..:(

Not sure why people gave high rating for this movie in IMDb(likely the producer itself..:)

Arguably this is one of the best commercial films that's come out in a while. Complete with a well written script,good performances and great music and humour this one is a must watch!! The story is nothing new about a Hindu boy falling in love with a Muslim girl.But what keeps you in hold is the way in which it has been presented with all the right elements in perfect proportion. Special mention required for Aju Varghese for a stand-out performance as the hero's best buddy. But i must also add that the film has for it's de-merits several clichéd and melodramatic scenes and dialogues.But these can be easily overlooked compared to the rest of the excellent dialogues and scenes.

Summing up this is a film that will stay in your heart for quite some time.A definite monsoon blockbuster. Don't miss this one!!!

Let me get this out there from the beginning... I am a Malayalee but I very rarely watch Malayalam movies as I tend to find them too serious and depressing most of the time.

I went to see this movie in the cinema when it released and I just loved it. I found myself watching the story unfold on screen with a smile on my face throughout. The acting, the music and the background score were all excellent.

Don't get me wrong, this movie is not a "Oru Vadakkan Veerakatha " or a "Bharatham" but just like those movies and for better or for worse Thattathin Marayathu is surely a sign of things to come with a fresh youthful take on some of the usual story lines that repeatedly form the plots of most South Indian movies A light, frothy romantic film with new young actors that really hits the spot.

I rewatched this movie last night more than 2 years after its cinematic release and I still enjoyed it. You have the usual hindu boy meets Muslim girl story that you have seen a 100 times before but Nivin Pauly in the lead role pulls you in and you begin to root for him instantly. A lot of heroes in Indian movies resort to blatant stalking to get their girl and for some reason we tend to accept this behaviour as normal but its not. Nivin Pauly's easy likability and earnest smile is one of the key factors in how well audiences reacted to this movie and it is no surprise that 3 years later Nivin Pauly is one of the most bankable stars in Malayalam Cinema. I feel Thattathin Marayathu was absolutely vital in securing him this status.

Isha Talwar has little to do other than look pretty and ethereal on screen and she does it with aplomb. She too comes across as likable and the sort of person you could easily fall in love with from afar. The supporting case of Manoj K Jayan, Aju Varghese and others do a good job as well.

As a Malayalee with extremely poor language skills, even I loved the songs in this movie and found myself humming them for days after watching the movie.

In addition to Nivin Pauly, Vineeth Sreenivasan, a 2nd Generation member of the Malayalam film industry, deserves the major credit for the success of the movie as he wrote, directed and even sang a couple of the superhit songs.

I became a fan of Nivin Pauly after seeing this move and really enjoy watching his movies that released after this!

Thattathin Marayathu defines a rendition that surpasses the most contemporary or avant-garde script with its sheer guiltlessness and a straight from the heart ambiance. The common perceptibility while watching something conceived by a 27 year old is strongly questioned by the overall cinematic brilliance. Thattathin Marayathu may have loose ends as would any masterpiece that our industry has seen. But the fact that it elucidates the innocence concealed in an intercast love story and crafts it with a simple storyline depicting the nuances of conventional characters is purely magical. The thread is finely woven with many unpredictable and impulsive moments that literally sparks your nostalgia and creates that I may have done this? feeling. The movie gently floats from a light hearted youthfulness to unperturbed romantic shores with ease and panache. The characters are well sketched and the cast delivers a sincere and candid feat. The untangling of issue towards the climax may have needed some slight nourishment. Nevertheless, the absence of a terrific storyline is often understated as it glides through the luminous performance by the entire cast, tactical and exuberant narration, Brilliant cinematography reinforced with some soul stirring scores by Shaan. Full credits to Vineeth for presenting viewers with a narrative that is not just refreshing but brimming with life

The movie is so mesmerising and you can feel the old school romance plus great depiction of Malabar region of Kerala. It's a must watch Malayalam movie. The movie is a cinematic gem that blends ultimate fun, heartfelt emotions, and soul-stirring music into a delightful package. From start to finish, the film takes you on a captivating journey filled with laughter, tears, and moments This is a heart melting perfect romantic movie, portraying Nivin pauly and Isha Talwar at the best and assembled by a perfect supporting cast..excellent music and background score by Shaan rahman, and our all in all director, script writer, singer vineeth shreenivasan can boast one of his best works.

A wonderful love story complemented by great acting, wonderful storyline and great music. This movie will definitely bring a wide smile to your face. I do not understand Malayalam but I loved the film. Nivin Pauly is damn great... Isha Talwar doesn't talk a lot in the film (practically she doesn't talk at all as her voice is dubbed) as she does not have many dialogues, but her expressions are very good that she conveys what Aisha is feeling without any words needed. They are supported by a wonderful ensemble cast as well. The direction and script is great. BGM is wonderful.

Verdict: Stop reading and just go and watch the movie!!

Nothing new. Nothing good. Story was predictable. I can't imagine how can one write such a lame story and most surprisingly how people like it. More than half of the characters were used for convenience. No real strength in the story. There is famous saying "Building castle in the air" to describe such things. Poor attempt from Vineeth who took far too much freedom in writing/making this story/movie.

Navin's performance was below par, Isha's even worse.

To summarize in one line " Routine, boring and unconvincing"

PS: My friend (santosh) who likes a Muslim girl (Sameera-95% relevance) suggested me to watch this movie. I will kindly pay him back when I meet him.

A classic romantic movie.. Concept Was typical lovestory. But making was different by Vineeth Srinivasan.

Hero and heroine were wonderful chemistry Nivin Pauly and Isha Talwar were amazing Pair on screen.

And also Aju Varghese and Nivin Pauly chemistry between worked well.

Shann Rahman did A excellent work its Bgm and Songs.

Wonderfully Visualised all Songs.

I'm giving a 10 to balance the imbd score. Even though the movie is a decade old, most of the portion in the movie is beautifully captured & is still refreshing even in 2022. As a person who's born in Thalassery & brought up in Bengaluru, this movie gives me immense pleasure to watch the places which is beautifully captured & is heartwarming to watch the climax scene which is shot in Kadal Palam.

Definitely not a waste of 2hrs if you are looking for a cliched love story coupled up with songs which are chartbusters along with beautiful cinematography.

A BEAUTIFUL LOVESTORY IS ALL THAT I CAN SAY ABOUT THATTATHIN MARAYATHU. EACH FRAMES ARE SO BEAUTIFUL SO THAT YOU CAN'T DIFFERENTIATE IT WITH THE GOOD CAMERAWORK MOVIES IN 2022. STILL CAN SEE THIS MOVIE AND REMARK THE RISE OF NIVIN PAULY THE ACTOR. VINEETH SREENIVASAN YOU ARE BRILLIANT ,AND YOU ARE PROVING IT WITH EACH AND EVERY DIRECTOLS.

A must watch Malayalam movie of Vineeth sreenivasan after malarvady club. It's a pure variety attempt from the director to make the audience involve with the help of the background score and the youth actor nivin Pauly. The all characters in this movie make an excellent move by giving their best to the filim but their is nothing in the story is a just feel good romantic movie which can make you happy for two ang half hour... And also this movie giving a message about the caste and relegion issues which is faced by the youngsters in this society and also there is comedy and friendship that makes you happy and feeling comfortable.
