Seriously, such high ratings for this? Lmao. Where do I start about this horrible film? Started watching Malayalam films in the lockdown. While many films I found amazing, this disappointed me to the core. I'm still laughing at such high ratings and YouTube reviews raving about this film being a fantastic flick and all that.
The characters are really bad and one dimensional. Filled with plot holes, this film is so bad that it is actually funny. The director seems to have no clue how to make a film decent enough. I don't know what's the reason. I can't for the life of me comprehend how this badly made film was appreciated by so many.
The only likeable thing was Fahad Fazil's character initially, who also I didn't like towards the end when his past comes up. I could relate only to him, like how he finds it hard to tolerate those dumb and idiotic cousins. Especially the "cool" guy who has hardly any manners. Also the bond that these cousins share, doesn't feel very natural. It honestly felt quite forced.
Like don't they have any friends? Especially with the cool guy, you'd expect him to have many friends but still chooses to hang out with his cousins, one being a super boring IT engineer sorta nerdy guy. At times it felt like that guy and his female cousins were into an arrangement sort of thing. Honestly, with the way they were behaving, hiding from their relatives, etc it felt like they were more than cousins lol.
While there are so many things in this movie that are beyond silly and laughable, the songs are the only respite that the movie is able to provide. The wedding song is good and then later when they the cousins hang out at the theatre, go for a bike ride and stuff a cool song plays. The guitar playing and melody of it add a nice feel to the song. Also there is one song in the film which is the same tune as Summer of '69 which is painfully bad.
If it weren't for the songs and Fahad Fazil I would rank this film as #1 in The most horrible and Overrated films ever list, but they are the only saving grace. Without the songs and Mr Fazil, this movie would for me be not just the worst Malayalam film, but the worst film ever.
I would give this film a 4 as it has some redeeming qualities at least, but in my hopes to bring down the ludicrous ratings which currently stand at 8.3, I give this film a 1/10.
