This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
Quiet Muffin
This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Beulah Bram
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Phillipa
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

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!

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!!!

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.
