Munthirivallikal Thalirkkumbol is a good,
trustworthy film about a family in Kerala. It annals the impact on them of the
delayed consequences of Dad's emotional meltdown and the over the top measure
of time he goes through with his male drinking mates, our human inclination to
underestimate our friends and family, conjugal betrayal, the significance of
blame, and the curveballs life tosses at us that could appear common to an
eyewitness yet be real emergencies for those encountering them.
Mohanlal plays Ulahannan/Unnachan, a
crotchety Panchayat secretary fixated on his work and lost in his very own
fatigue making that he then ascribes to the monotonous routine and his
significant other. Meena plays his despondent companion Annieamma/Annie,
longing for his love. Their youngsters Jini and Jerry finish their little home.
There are no exaggerated wanders
aimlessly in Munthirivallikal Thalirkkumbol. It is not that sort of artistic
wander. However the plot focuses in the story would consider high dramatization
if we somehow happened to face them in our own particular lives. With the
exception of a tune unnecessarily stuffed into the story when the family takes
a get-away, this is what is typically portrayed as a cut of life. The delight
of watching it originates from the storyteller's restriction. Executive Jibu
Jacob and scriptwriter M. Sindhuraj don't take any unmistakably progressive
position in this film, yet there are small steps significant. Obviously we
should ask when they – or any significant Indian movie producer – would regard conjugal
betrayal by ladies as a wellspring of silliness and why duping men are the
subject of such a large number of comedies, yet deceiving ladies are not
kidding business.
They work inside the patriarchal
system that is the playing field of most Malayalam business silver screen at
the same time, for example, by not stereotyping or thrashing the ladies that
the men in this film have or would like to have illicit relationships with or
once cherished, they put the onus for the men's activities on the men themselves
as opposed to searching for ladies – momentum spouses, ebb and flow lady
friends, potential sweethearts or exes – to fault.
There is a time when a few guardians
in Munthirivallikal Thalirkkumbol get to be distinctly worried that their
youngster may be sexually dynamic in her high schoolers. That section is taken
care of with extraordinary care so as not to take a specific position on
pre-conjugal sex.
It appears to be intended to keep
away from the outrage of the individuals who censure pre-conjugal sex and the
individuals who don't. The producer seems to have clarity that he is not
creating an impression on a bigger social issue or admonishing or being
judgmental, however that he is essentially relating how these specific
guardians responded in this specific circumstance. You can in this way take
what you will from the scene, contingent upon your perspectives. While the
suggestions to the societal position of the young lady's beau are unnecessary the
rest is keenly composed and irreproachable.
On the specialized front,
Munthirivallikal Thalirkkumbol is a blended sack. The cinematography and
generation configuration are viable yet not unprecedented, aside from when
Pramod K. Pillai's camera takes off to shoot the dazzling sights overlaid on
the melody Punnamada kayal. Bijibal, whose opening track for Maheshinte
Prathikaaram was one of the loveliest numbers from 2016, does nothing here to
coordinate up to that. Still, I delighted in Oru puzhayarikil in light of the
way it is fitted into the storyline and for Swetha Mohan's astonishing voice.
Punnamada kayal, then again, was totally superfluous and totally normal.
Mohanlal and Meena are fine
on-screen characters, and convey downplayed exhibitions tuned in to the film's
tone and tenor (despite Meena's over-excited make-up craftsman). They are
encompassed by solid performers including old hands Anoop Menon, Kalabhavan
Shajon and Alencier Ley Lopez playing Unnachan's companions, Suraj Venjaramood
as the Panchayat president and Sudheer Karamana as his degenerate puppeteer.
Rahul Madhav makes an impression in
a brief appearance as Annie's sibling as does Sanoop Santhosh playing Annie and
Unnachan's child. Indeed, even the smallest part appears to have been thrown
with care, which clarifies why the great Asha Sarath's poise was searched out
for a minor cameo as Unnachan's old companion. My pick of the supporting
players in vast parts are Aima Rosmy Sebastian as the lead couple's little girl
(a youthful ability to keep an eye out for) and Srinda Ashab as Anoop Menon's
forgiving spouse.
Mohanlal scored a monstrous film
industry hit a year ago with Pulimurugan in which he played a swashbuckling
activity legend overcoming tigers in the wilderness. There are the individuals
who battle that accumulations ought to quiet all naysayers, however in all
actuality he is much more authentic here as an at odds, standard white collar
class spouse. As a well-wisher and admirer of this present megastar's
incredible ability, I wish he would search out more parts more qualified to his
age and build in movies like Munthirivallikal Thalirkkumbol. I wish he would
acknowledge too that it would just improve his respect to act with ladies his
age as opposed to far more youthful female stars like Meena. Such a large
number of layers could have been added to this story with age-proper throwing.
All things considered,
Munthirivallikal Thalirkkumbol is a wonderful film, both enchanting and
agreeable. It is relatable, quick and engaging – a mix that is no mean
accomplishment.
