Ezhu Sundara Rathrikal Review

REVIEW : Follow The Cinema Company

 I am unable to believe that Lal Jose and James Albert are behind this not so convincing movie that fails to put across the subject to the viewers. Moving at a leisurely pace, Ezhu Sundara Rathrikal tries desperately to narrate an unconvincing plot and falls on the loosing side. Can't complain much about Lal Jose and Dileep, because they can't do much here and infact LJ has tried his best but of no use in this disappointing story and script by James Albert and that will be a surprise for many.

Aby is an ad film maker who has a failed relationship and remains as a bachelor. His parents try to get him married but of no use until Aby meets a girl and decides to marry her. The events that unfold in the next seven days form the basic crux of the story.

As I said, the film lacked the pace to offer a delightful movie watching experience and the main culprit here is the disappointing storyline and script that is too tiring and boring.

Lal Jose should have been a bit more careful while choosing this plot. The end result of this movie is a disappointing effort thereby breaking his winning ways at the box office.

On screen Dileep has not done anything bad at the same time nothing extraordinary while Rima Kallingal was fine in her role as the female lead. The second female lead Parvathy Nambiar was average. About the supporting cast, many characters were half baked with nothing deserving a mention. Among them, Murali Gopi was ok in a limited role along with Tini Tom, Praveena, Vijayaraghavan and Harisree Asokan. Once again Sreejith Ravi in a very limited role made us laugh though he had to perform in couple of scenes only.

In the technical side, this is a new team for the director in camera and music department. Cinematography was done well along with good cuts. Prashanth Pillai's music was strictly average but his background score was on the brighter side.

I am going with 2 / 5 for Ezhu Sundara Rathrikal and a big thumbs down this time to the director. Better luck next time.
