Jomonte Suvisheshangal Malayalam Movie

Feature Film | 2017 | U | Romantic, Family Drama

Audience:
The most charming aspect of Jomonte Suvisheshangal is the adorable bond between Jomon and his father, Vincent(Mukesh). The director's Midas touch can be found here and here alone, virtually recreating the father-son relationships of Manassinakkare and Veendum Chila Veettukaryangal. Otherwise, the preachy family drama falls flat on its face, trying to balance melodrama and satire in vain.

There is cliche and then there is Sathyan Anthikad level cliche. Jomonte Suvisheshangal is the latest Sathyan Anthikad film to fall prey to the experienced director's signature style-turned-cliched way of filmmaking.


The first few sequences of Jomonte Suvisheshangal are not half bad. In fact, vintage Sathyan Anthikad is pervasive in those segments. The backdrop of Thrissur, the materialistic, money-minded populace that etches the society's evolution and a family that acts as a microcosm of said theme are things that the filmmaker is a master at tackling. Anthikad's wit and satire come hand in hand with his obsession for familial disintegration and reestablishment as the core idea. Here too, this tried and tested formula goes for a spin, only to lose its plot within no time.


In Jomonte Suvisheshangal, Dulquer Salmaan plays the eponymous character as a spiritual successor to his critically acclaimed titular character in Charlie(2015), at least in the first act. Jomon was born with a golden spoon in his mouth. He is carefree as well as careless in terms of his decisions. But like many other protagonists, he also gets a shot at coming of age under extreme pressure. Here, the only real conflict is introduced late into the story and is an age-old one- financial crisis.


The two love interests of Jomon, Catherine(Anupama Rajeshwaran) and Vydehi(Aishwarya Rajesh), are utilized differently by Sathyan Anthikad. Anupama merely plays an extended cameo and the romantic angle is borderline creepy because of the ludicrous promotion of stalking that kick starts it in the first place. On the contrary, a charming little love story between Jomon and Vydehi offers respite to the viewer in the second half.


The most charming aspect of Jomonte Suvisheshangal is the adorable bond between Jomon and his father, Vincent(Mukesh). The director's Midas touch can be found here and here alone, virtually recreating the father-son relationships of Manassinakkare and Veendum Chila Veettukaryangal. Otherwise, the preachy family drama falls flat on its face, trying to balance melodrama and satire in vain.

It is disheartening to see a veteran director like Sathyan Anthikad making such low-quality family dramas that are not only difficult to watch but also without any substance. Even if one does not compare this cold turkey and the 2015 debacle "Ennum Eppozhum" with the director's past films, there is still the issue of lack of novelty. BOTTOM LINE: I've not even listed the large number of plot-holes and glaring defects in the film. Not recommended!

Though it has a story which has been told and retold, Sathyan Antikad puts his signature in the filming and makes it an awesome experience to the spectator. Dulquer has done his role memorably well. It seems that with each film he is maturing himself into an actor. Among the other actors Mukesh has put up a good show as the father of Dulquer. Aiswarya as Devayani, Muthumani, Indu Thampi, Irshad and Innocent have done their respective roles well. Now see it for yourself and judge.
