Make certain you’ve gotten sufficient popcorn earlier than stepping in to look at Thattassery Koottam as a result of there may be nothing else to carry your curiosity until three-fourths of the film is over. The final half-hour is the place the story falls into the observe however, sadly, even that’s spoilt by the convoluted ending.
The story a few group of younger males is a well-recognized theme in Malayalam films. Staying true to that template, the children are proven bonding over consuming, ogling ladies, and lazing round. Arjun Ashokan, Ganapathy, Unni Rajan P Dev, Appu, and Anish Gopal are convincing as mates who’re prepared to stroll that further mile for one another.
Arjun (Sanjeev) within the lead position, comes good within the film as a gifted however aimless teenager who claims to be finding out for the civil service examination. Although he hails from a reputed goldsmith’s household, Arjun desires to don’t have anything to do with it, though his uncle (Vijayaraghavan) has taught him the craft. However, circumstances pressure him to make an ornate neckpiece for a valued consumer of his uncle’s. Arjun opens Pandora’s field when he loans it to Athira (Priyamvada in a lacklustre position) for a rampwalk.
To save face and to assist his nephew, his uncle decides to open a jewelry store for Sanjeev. Unfortunately, the store is looted on the eve of its inauguration, and that’s when the film positive aspects some traction.
The mates determine to trace down the villains… however that a part of the story has nothing to do with the primary half of the movie (however for the looks of the 5 mates). Finally, they retrieve their stolen jewelry, and open the store and that’s when Dileep places in a cameo look as Abbas’ elder brother! That is the benefit of being a producer. After all of the others actors do the onerous work, the producer seems on this superhero position (shock, shock) and cleans up the mess.
Anoop Padmanabhan’s maiden directorial enterprise has a screenplay and dialogues by Santosh Echikanam and a narrative by Geo PV. The senseless storyline and the director’s lack of expertise are evident because the movie meanders by until the interval after which some extra, with some punchlines offering a couple of weak laughs right here and there. Anoop, Dileep’s brother, has actually taken a number of cues from his brother’s movies.
Even the presence of competent actors comparable to Siddique, Sreelakshmi and Mammukoya can’t inject life into the plot. Moreover, all through the movie, the hero goes zipping round on a motorbike with by no means a helmet wherever close to him!
With Malayalam cinema making nice strides within the choice of themes, narratives and therapy, alongside comes Thattassery Koottam that has determined to stay to the outdated, disappointing tropes.
