VELLIMOONGA / BLUERAY / BIJU MENON

Description

The story revolves around a middle aged unmarried politician named Mamachan, played by Biju Menon, who always mix politics with his personal life thus inviting troubles into his life. This ambling character with his owlish eyes gets a taste of the real significance of the white kadhar through some situations that he has to encounter. These situations actually act as a catalyst for his political and personal growth. When we say growth, it’s not altogether on the straight path. All the characters that one encounters in this movie are crooked in one way or the other. Mamachan is no exception. But it is his crookedness that endears him to the audience. Vellimoonga is a simple film that provides a wholesome entertainment. It is the good old conventional Malayalam cinema sans the dreariness. The movie is a feel good entertainer that is sure to appeal to all. The movie carried with it no expectations, but delivered big time. It will have you in splits of laughter, but neither is the laughter forced or artificially induced. The humour is genuine. Though clichés abound and the story is predictable, the execution and narration lifts it.
