Brilliant and touching

As Good As It Gets

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

THATTATHIN MARAYATHU... an amazing attempt by Vineeth Sreenivasan and his team. The script was good with the first half aimed at comedy and the second half having a mix of both humor and emotion. Though the script was medium and normal, the way the movie has been executed is worth saying. Nivin Pauly was the highlight of this film. Aju Varghese excels in his role as Nivin's first mate and has hit a funny bone in the movie whenever needed. Each and every cast member like Sreenivasan, Kurudi had their own roles executed perfectly. Though, Isha Talwar had no role compared to the others, her beauty and her presence has given it a sparkling touch. Great work by Shaan Rahman and Vineeth on the music of this film. Every song excels in its timing and the background music is worth saying. The film stands upon its description as a musical romance and the script, cast and crew have just given a very supportive hand in it. 2 hours of ultimate fun, emotion and music, that's what i can guarantee in this film. A must watch!!

Nothing new. Nothing good. Story was predictable. I can't imagine how can one write such a lame story and most surprisingly how people like it. More than half of the characters were used for convenience. No real strength in the story. There is famous saying "Building castle in the air" to describe such things. Poor attempt from Vineeth who took far too much freedom in writing/making this story/movie.Navin's performance was below par, Isha's even worse.To summarize in one line " Routine, boring and unconvincing"PS: My friend (santosh) who likes a Muslim girl (Sameera-95% relevance) suggested me to watch this movie. I will kindly pay him back when I meet him.

Thattathin Mareyath is a simple yet engaging movie with a plot so clichéd yet so refreshing. I was amazed how the movie never fails to amuse, albeit getting the vibe of whats in store ahead. Now thats the magic of a writter cum director, here we have Vineeth Sreenivasan who makes a giant leap from "Malarvadi".Breaking all my presumptions, Nivin pauly does it in style as the bloody blushing lover boy and as for the lady love, her looks were more than enough. The co-cast all supportive and hilarious, we get some good laughs when they all fit in. Special mention to shan rahman for roping in with some romantic tracks.Ha! How i loved the romantic scenes, the surreal textures, the background scores which all reminded me of my lovelife! A good watch. 6.5/10

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.
