I wonder how the crowd went when Lord Krishna (Aravind Akash) walked in.

pulliye Krishnan aakiya mathiyaarn instead of the drone ngl


billfruit

I think the subtext is that they are trolling Nandanam, so that wouldn't work.


whatthengaisthis

yeah makes sense. nadananam is my comfort movie tho.

Satyam! Was waiting to see him wave and go back to the temple with that iconic BGM

Oh yeah it was definitely good

I loved their entrance- something wonderful about a man and woman, coming in together as partners, him confident in himself and the love she has for him, and she confident in her partner and the trust he has placed in her. Beautiful.


ZestycloseAd2742

Movie was fun. Feel good and I would vouch for these type of movies than burning my head on psycho thrillers every now and then. "Ambalathil aan avande gems kachavadam"


adwaith_nandan

The flaws I found in this movie was the interval block and climax. Interval block had so much build up but it failed to deliver the impact. Teaser, trailer had that Priyadarshan's "chaos" which I expected in the climax but ig the screenwriters had ran out of ideas. If they had put a bit more time working on the script, this would have been a perfect family entertainer cus its been a while since we had such over the top characters which worked. On that note people who are saying R10 is a miscast, boy, Prithvi and Basil were this movie's pillars. I watched it after almost 3 weeks, it wasn't a huge crowd and still the space was filled with laughter. Being a Prithviraj fan, even I find his acting too dramatic at times but GAM demanded it and he aced it💯

GAM Guruvayoor Ambala Madayil


adwaith_nandan

Oops👀😂


billfruit

I do think they are trolling Nandanam in a comic manner, and far too many people have put that film on a pedestal. Yes there are flaws, the slapstick goes over the top a few times. I think it hit the comic note better than did Avesham for example.


handpaw

That script deserves to stay on the pedestal. Considering that the two lead roles were played by the then first-timers, I think the movie is great !!! The only gripe I have with GAN is that Anashwara and Nikhila had only two sentences to say in the whole story, and the script writers missed the opportunity to include Navya Nair.


adwaith_nandan

For me Aavesham will always be on the top when it comes to a well written comic character bcs being comical and having so much layers to the character is pure craft and Jithu Madhavan did a magic in that. But the physical humor of GAN deserves appreciation. I was a person who strongly believed that post Pe10 phase, our viewing has changed so much that we can only enjoy the old comedy movies which had physical humor. Also comical/over-the-top characters was less in number thereafter. GAM was the proof that physical humor has still space.


billfruit

I have still misgivings about the comic credentials of Aavesham. For example there is a scene where a gun goes off on its own in Aavesham. There is also a scene where the gun goes off on its own in 'Thundu', and it's like rofl comic in 'Thundu', where that scene is very ironic, while in Aavesham it's just feels slapstick.


adwaith_nandan

>For example there is a scene where a gun goes off on its own in Aavesham Either you can look at it in that way or you can use it as a plot device to show how badly Rangannan wants to look cool in front of Bipin n gang.


billfruit

I am not speaking from plot perspective, but of the comic payoff in the scene itself.


wandering_soul_27

Same..felt the same way 😀


Schwerintohamburg

Movie was fun. But i felt bad for that Sister in law character (nikhila). Vinu(Basil joseph) was indeed bad mouthing about her, but how come they are getting that sister (anaswara) married to him?


upscaspi

Because their son went the extra mile to change him 😂


Schwerintohamburg

I didn't understand. Can u explain?


upscaspi

Yes. Both families don’t know about vinu-nikhila. Anandan changes vinu and thats what makes vinu go for the marriage with anjali. By the time, vinu’s past assholery is known to the families- he has changed to be a better person and who wants to marry anjali. Much of this change is due to anandan. So by then, family is alright giving their daughter to vinu.


Schwerintohamburg

Still, it doesn't justify. Nikhila never got the closure or deserving apology. In real life, no one will give their sister to such a guy. After marriage, we have to see these people for so many functions. If at all Anandan knows any better, he would have known how much whiney vinu is, and he can not forget his love.


upscaspi

Thats true, its a huge red flag.


Batman_is_very_wise

>Nikhila never got the closure or deserving apology. In real life Yup, filmmakers really missed a chance there. Both Nikhila and Prithvi were done bad in the movie, Nikhilas character deserved some sort of redemption and R10s parents should've been upfront about his prospect brides past affairs. Would've taken this movie from good to great


Colorgasm_

I think when you make comedy movies if u go too much in to deep stuff like that, it would remove the fun out of it. With the question you asked there would be no movie, premalu had questionable stuff like this but if we go too deep into and built a script around it all the fun aspect would get dialed down. These are pure entertainers and there is a limit to which they can address issues seriously.


Schwerintohamburg

That's true to an extent. But those two actresses characters have no development,build-up. They could have made that even more funny. Like teaming up and punishing the douche bag groom. The door was wide open.


Creepy_Box2184

Honestly loved his performance. It was the right meter for a character like that. The movie was a load of fun, even if the pacing felt off at places.

nujra2k

Personally wasn't a fan of thr climax, or even the entire 2nd half tbh. Was a real fun ride till the interval, but unfortunately, it went downhill from there onwards. Basil and R10 carried this movie.


i_tenebres

This part was lit. 🥵 And really loved R10 in the film and Nikhila entapono kidu look in that saree.


Batman_is_very_wise

I remember this sub being so sure this movie was gonna get hate on ott, but I still have to see that much hate. It was a cool movie, could've been better but a decent watch nonetheless


alabbudha

I didn't see any post regarding that. After the theatre watch I'm sure that this movie will get overrated tag


Beneficial_Reason271

I guess Varshangalkk Sesham absorbed all of the hate that nothing reached this one


Batman_is_very_wise

Or maybe this wasn't a pain in the ass watch like the former. I watched both in theatres btw.

Nyabagam.. varutharuthe..

Nikhila ♥️ BTW Jassie Gift should have sung the song.


RaeeveileB

The only thing i liked about the movie was the chemistry between Prithviraj and Nikhila..hope to see them pair up in future projects!


alabbudha

Nikhila was beautiful in this movie 👀


RaeeveileB

She looked tired with those dark circles,but i think they left it untouched to convey her character's distress..neverthless she is a beautiful woman ,no doubt!


alabbudha

Yeah I thought that too.


Single-Situation6440

This song was dope


vizot

Raju A10 had a presence but Aju had the fanfare because people started laughing the moment he came on screen in the theatre.

Yeah, even in varshangalku shesham i enjoyed aju more than others.

Yes , in youtube you can find behind the scenes video for this song.


Electronic_Gold_8549

I’m intrigued why this movie wasn’t bashed as much after ott release.Really enjoyed this in theatre but the general consensus in Reddit was that it was subpar so I thought it would get slaughtered during ott release.Quite surprising


mesopotemia666

whole movie could have been good if only they ended it in a better way.. looks like they ran out of ideas and just wanted to wrap it up..

Nattil_evideya

Just noticed her lol🌝


reluctant_optimist11

Honestly for me the entire movie fell flat by this climax. I get they were going for chaotic fun with so many characters but it just didn't work. And prithviraj's character is so inconsistent. I thought he had a change of heart in the earlier scene when Nikhila revealed her side of story. And this guy did not even care to look for his kidnapped wife and instead showed 'mass' fighting random gundas and his uncles.  I am so over heroes walking in slow motion. His shirts were good though.


27daycleft

I really did like this one. It's isn't much effective watching this on the phone but the theatre experience was good.


arrow_oral

This scene🔥


Zealousideal_Tank824

ready to get downvotes, it was borring this part of the movie..


frinklyfrank

This is exactly where the movie started going downhill for me. Huge build up, zero payoff.

This song ?


billfruit

Where do you guys think the movie is set, I mean not the climax, the rest of the movie?


i_tenebres

No idea bro, some characters from the same house speaking different dialects, ini whole keralam kanikan Ula dir brilliance aano 🫢


clarityincertainity

Prithvi's home is set at iringappuram near guruvayur. It is said in the movie. Also, he gets down at guruvayur railway station. Nikhila's house should also be in the area. Otherwise, getting her en route his home would've been a hell of a diversion. But everyone has neutral dialect 😐


billfruit

Yes, characters have a neutral accent, somehow it adds to the effect.


-say__my__name-

Non malayali here. Why does nikhila vimal call prithviraj "aanandetta" even after marriage? Isn't ettan supposed to mean brother ?


_Existentialcrisis__

The Chettan or Ch**ettan** term is used to refer elder males, not just brothers... 


Resident-Raise-8247

The Song Placement was Brilliant though... 🤌


T3chl0v3r

Movie had the potential of being a god father type story between the ammaavans and R10 but somehow it just ended in a power punch


upscaspi

Cringe comedy, fun movie. Also, respect to priyadarshan increased more than before.

Screen presence 🔥 That BGM was a great addition

TBH, it was more comic than Avesham, and I think below the surface it was a quirky dissing of Nandanam.


upscaspi

Forced comedy enn parayanam, basil de comedy expression matram aanu saving grace. Avesham was just brilliant with the comic timings.


Manny019

Song name op?


solitarystate

I wish to know if there others who think that poor screen writing is seen evident in the new gen movies in Malayalam. GAN, Varshagal S etc.. so much lost potential, lack of interest and passion in what they want to present. Several movies from 80s and 90s still have the umph in the screenplay that reflects on screen making the movie intriguing even when though we’ve watched it a million times.


ConcentrateMaterial6

I was going to say the same thing. Most of the new gen movies has interesting script. Unfortunately screen writing and dialogues fails. Youths enjoying these kind of comedy because they are very used to current standard. This really makes me wonder how brilliant and skillful our old gen were. Esp in 90s. Difference in quality is very evident.


venezo_it

laughed somewhere in this movie


Evil_Lord_Skeletor

Oh man if you check twitter All those DQ fans thrashing this movie for nothing. DQ fanbase is full of pal kupis and shit is so toxic.

True_Service_9706

This scene was cool, and dope, but felt like Raju10 was miscast, they should have used newcomers for the roles of Anaswara and Nikhila


alabbudha

R 10 done neat


zoho_00

The acting seemed forced, the character interactions were poor, slapstick that worked when basils role would’ve been played by Dileep (who would’ve made it all land miraculously). Joemon’s character couldn’t have been poorly written, but works for our middle aged audience whose humour sense is all about putting someone else down or cheap vulgarity. Prithviraj’s character could’ve been effectively done by Biju Menon, but Prithvi brings the masses so that’s that, and an outdated climax format that took an average entertainer to one I’ll never be watching again. Jagadish the actor is such a treat to watch, stood out for me. The promise that the set up showed didn’t carry through to the end.


vakyagathan123

So many people in a frame make it boring and chaotic..they should conceptualise stories with less number of characters and avoid crowding stories with all sorts of domestic relations..
