After months of anticipated waiting , Legendary Sathyan Anthikkad's Jomonte Suvisheshangal released yesterday. The movie has got Dulquer Salmaan in the title role, Anupama Parameshwaran and Aishwarya Rajesh played the female lead characters in this movie and versatile actor Mukesh also played a key role in this movie. This movie is scripted by Dr. Iqbal Kuttipiram.Vidyasagar has composed the songs and background score, and the cinematography is handled by S. Kumar. Jomonte Suvisheshangal is produced by Sethu Mannarkad for Full Moon Cinema.
You kind of know the basic ingredients of a Sathyan Anthikkad movie as his films are known for projecting family values and other social elements repeatedly. Sathyan Anthikad has often epitomized the father-son relationship through his movies—Veendum Chila Veettukaryangal, Kochu Kochu Santhoshangal, Manasinakkare. The master of family dramas has once again come up with the same subject in Jomonte Suvisheshangal.Although the plot sounds cliché, the natural performances by the actors and a realistic portrayal of everyday life make Jomonte Suvisheshangal a treat to watch.Halfway into Jomonte Suvisheshangal, what occupies the audience’s mind is not the story, not the actors, not their performances, nor the treatment. It’s a sense of having experienced this before. It’s too recent, too fresh in memory to be termed ‘déjà vu’. And, then it strikes you. This is the Sathyan Anthikkad version of what you have seen in the similarly named Jacobinte Swargarajyam, hardly a year ago. But, the legendary Sathyan Anthikkad has managed to take a turn in the final message from Jacobinte Swargarajyam. While the latter was more about somehow winning back all that was lost, here the protagonists are forced to question the way they plundered and lived, and thus ends up raising the same to contemporary society too. Sathyan Anthikad films have always been a favorite among Malayali audiences and Malayalam audience will definitely like Jomonte Suvisheshangal. The picturesque frames by S. Kumar and the top-notch music by Vidyasagar add to the positives.
Dulquer has stepped into Jomon's shoes with ease, and has effectively portrayed the varying shades of his character. He gives a special charm to Jomon and he done really well in the emotional scenes. A major portion of the movie belongs to Mukesh and he carries the film on his shoulders. At a time when Mukesh is more active in other arenas such as politics and television, watching him onscreen for that long would make us realize how much we had been missing him in cinema. Dulquer's and Mukesh's father-son combo is a treat to watch, both of them will stay in the minds of audience for long.
Anupama Parameswaran once again plays the pretty girl-passing cloud in the hero's lifealthough the superhit Nokki Nokki number made me believe she had more to do in the film. It's Aishwarya Rajesh who gets a more substantial role - as a young and ambitious Tamil Nadu woman from a lower middle class family who is stingy with her smiles and focused on her work. There are many Tamil films which have heroines playing a Malayalee girl and the reverse seems to be catching on in Mollywood. Other characters like Innocent, Vinu Mohan, Muthumani, Shivaji Guruvayoor and Jacob Gregory too deserve a special mention. The combination scenes of DQ and Gregory will surely remind you of the laugh riot they created in theaters with ABCD.
POSITIVES
1- Sathyan Anthikkad is teaming up with Dulquer Salmaan for the first time.
2- Dulquer's charm.
3- Mukesh at his usual best.
4- S.Kumar's frame.
5- Vidyasagar's music.
NEGATIVES
1- Cliché storyline.
2- Dr. Iqbal Kuttipiram's script has many similarities with Jacobinte Swargarajyam and many other Sathyan Anthikkad movies.
After an amusing first half, it descends into predictability yet is at no point unbearable for three reasons: the young hero’s gorgeousness, the combined charisma of Salmaan and his fellow leading man Mukesh, and the warm chemistry these two men share.If you are not looking for great depth or originality and of you're not bored of the cliché thread then this could perhaps be enough for you.
Jomonte Suvisheshangal - 6.5/10 (Just above average)
