Kadal Kadannoru Mathukutty Malayalam Movie Review and Boxoffice Collection Report

REVIEW :

                'Kadal Kadannoru Mathukutty' was a much hyped movie of 2013 because of the Ranjith-Mammootty team who is on a hat-trick hit after Pranchiyettan and the Saint and Bavutyude Namathil. Also the appearences of Malayalam superstars Mohanlal and Dileep in cameo roles has also gotten up many film-goers' expectations.The movie says the story of an unemployed German Malayali, Mathukutty, who is coming to Kerela to invite Malayalam Superstars Mohanlal and Dileep for a cultural show in Germany organized by German Malayalis. The story develops with the various social and political issues he has to face and changes his life.
              The first half of the movie almost hit the expectations giving the hope of the next Super-hit from the team. However the directer fails to recreate the Pranchiyettan magic on the screen once again. The director failed to keep up the momentum of the first half throughout the movie. the second half of the movie is lagging.
              Mohanlal's cameo role in the movie did hit the theatre well which is one of the best sequences. mammootty had nothing new to put onto his role. He did his part exceptionally well. The rest of the actors did justice to their roles, specially Nadumudi Venu. The cinematography by Madhu Neelakandan was also good. The movie failed to realise the expectations of filmgoers. The songs are one of the major drawbacks of the movie making it lagging a bit. The direction and the script of the movie highly disppointed the filmgoers since it came from the ace director Ranjith.
             Too much expectation can make the movie bored. If you go without any expectations the movie is a fair one time watch.
