Mammootty's performance is ballistic compared to his yesteryear films, but Lal Jose has dropped back into limbo. Compared to last year, his movies tell stereotypical stories of which parts are borrowed from elsewhere.

Loosely based on The Pursuit of Happiness, Immanuel tells the story of a family breadwinner who is an ordinary person and tries it hard to make ends meet. It talks about how life should be lived calmly, respite the trouble that God showers upon us. His righteous attitude wins him respect and ultimately he is called the hero. His deeds pay him back and he lives happily ever after. See, the story isn't new. Indeed it is ubiquitous. But, the narration is funny, calm & message-driven. That's why, a humble 7.0/10. Some trivial twists in the plot will stun you for good.

Music & songs are fine, performances are very good. Humor finds itself in the first half while second half is full of melodrama. Cinematography, direction & setup all are loyal. Overall, a good family entertainer.

BOTTOM LINE: Not a must-watch, but an enjoyable experience. Recommended!

Okay, As we all Know Mammootty had a very bad Run for about a Year with Raining Flops. But with the Starting of this year, From an Okay Kammath and Kammath, His time Might have Changed. Coming to Movie, Immanuel is a Film revolving around a Simple man and His day to Day life problems. After a couple of tries, he lands in an insurance Firm. Coming to the Plot of the Film, it was a Good and was about a relevant subject. But while Watching the Film we feel Immanuels Deeds are not Human and a Wee Bit God Like. Lal Jose who delivered Thought Provoking Films Like Diamond Necklace and Ayalum Njanum Thamil, has Set the Bars up Pretty High. The Fim Does feel too Melodramatic towards the End of the Second Half. Before Going for the Film I knew the Film had Something Special Up its Sleve. Overall, its a Pretty Decent Movie. A good Movie to watch With Family with Some Comedy Elemet Thrown Around.

MY RATING : 7/10
