Part of the story involving the orphaned child having difficulty finding stable adopted parents and family is interesting and keeps it from being completely valueless, but there's no science or extrapolated future going on here other than the cult planning for the end-times and the child being the demon possessed bringer of them telling she/it doesn't like what will happen. The basic FX and filming manages to make the stereotypical eyes going black/red seem realistic enough. Just variations on the same stupid crap so that it's not even original. This is little more than the typical satanic cult, possessed child horror film, neither of which are scary and have not been remotely scary or horror-like for decades.

Whoever at IMDb is responsible for classifying this as science fiction should be fired and permanently banned from the site.

The editing too is done well and the colour is especially good.Ī simple premise, life moments in a series of frames and the hard moments peppered with a smile makes up 'Njandukalude Naattil Oridavela'. The lack of cheesiness is evident in the frames. Camera again captures the mood brilliantly. James's music is in tune with the mood of the movie. Shiju Wilson and Sharaffudhin lent good support to the cast.Īltaf hits the right notes in narrating this family drama without any excesses and didactisms. It is fun to see Ahaana and Srindaa lighting up the screen with their camaraderie and verve. Santhikrishna misses no beat as she makes a come back after a gap. Lal as the big father who goes jittery when his wife is diagnosed with cancer is a cool act. There are sequences which holds a lot of emotion, but which manages to bring out a chuckle. This comic timing and the cluelessness comes naturally. Some might find it too drab with a hike in expectations. There are moments that stay with you and characters that stay with you. As mentioned before its simply a slice of life - of Kurian's time off from the land of crabs - that is the period of his arrival back home from London. Actor-director Lal will appear as Nivin Paulys father in the movie, which depicts the bond between modern. There is no earth shattering resolve or villainisms that needs solving.

That said, throughout the movie we won't be able to see that usual curve in the plot. There is not much happening in this part of the movie. The first half of the film is used for this. Althaf has taken pains to flesh out each characters well. The chips munching youth who doesn't have much of an idea about what he wants in life, his run ins with his sisters - which instead of him dictating them, is more of a democratic one, his relation with his father and mother are all interestingly moulded. However repetitious, such roles suit him. The absence of flashy things is a huge plus. The family drama makes one think fo Nivin's 'Jacobinte Swargarajaym', though this one is more closer to life and Nivin has no heroic avatar whatsoever. An unexpected breast cancer scare has Sheela calling home her son Kurian from London. As the movie rolls, we are taken to Chacko (Lal) and Sheela's (Shantikrishna) life. An upper middle class family with all its conventions as well as freedom, the story is all about how the family deals with a crisis situation. The plot centers around Kurian's (Nivin Pauly) family. 'Njandukalude Naattil Oridavela' is a slice of life told engagingly. What is refreshing is the exclusion of over the top heroism and staid comic elements. Director Althaf and team has managed a real life tale exceedingly well. The very familiarity is what sets 'Njandukalude Naattil Oridavela' on a platform that is warmer and and close to heart. they are all regular people that one comes across in real life. A clueless youth, sisters galore, a close knot family.
