A domestic flight, a marriage bureau, a wedding, a honeymoon – too much takes place in too little time for Shajith Kumar Amminippilla or us to understand what’s happening with his life. The name character of Kakashi, Amminippilla, is forgotten in the chaos of his marriage. As choices are made for him, he stands there helpless, a look of utter annoyance on his face becoming utter frustration within the center of a tune that makes him get up and announce to the sector: I want a divorce.
As revealed via the trailer, the film is set by an NRI who makes petty complaints about his new spouse and asks for a divorce, and a lawyer referred to as Pradeepan (Asif Ali) takes up his case. When you think the film is too hurried, chaotically so, with a short wedding and a separation, the director – Dinjith Ayyathan – takes control and slows down the pace. He prefers to tell the serious hassle of Shajith Kumar (Ahmed Siddique) thru comical situations, aided with a catchy heritage song (Jakes Bejoy).
To an extent, Sanileshan Shivan’s script addresses the applicable subject of an arranged marriage; however, it appears to take a stand this is unlikely to offend conventions. Ajith Kumar is not requested if he desires to marry or to meet the girl whom his dad and mom and a wedding dealer (Mammukoya reprising the role he has achieved in quite some films before) have fixed him up with. He is not even spared the call ‘Ammini’ – a female’s name – that he keeps getting referred to as while he says he doesn’t like it. We accept Shajith (we are respecting the people want to be now not known as Ammini) as this guy who can effortlessly be driven around, who doesn’t, without a doubt, have an opinion of his personal or the center to mention it. But Shajith has his ideas; he has just been raised never to utter them and live in a “nest,” as he later reveals to his lawyer. No one has ever bothered about his needs – such as the call he loves to be referred to as.
The problems Shajith has with his wife Kanthi (Shibila) are superficial – she’s obese, she snores. But then, he was not allowed to recognize her as a person – even the traditional “bride-seeing” ritual is avoided. On his wedding ceremony day, he sees her for the primary time and complains to his simplest pal (the only person who calls him Shajith) that she is a “little massive.”Pradeepan throws out the two buddies for flimsy reasons when they come to him for a divorce. But then, he isn’t having a terrific time either. He has had no large cases to date and desires to make a call for himself for his political aims. His circle of relatives life is shown to us most casually, the clean exchanges among a husband and wife who’ve known each other because they have been college students, the elder brother (Sudheesh) looking for brides, and the funny mother (Sarissa).
Dinjith takes you smoothly from the court docket room to Pradeep’s office, the celebration workplace, and the houses of all three characters (the couple and the legal professional), the incidents neatly packed into the 2-hour drama (modifying: Sooraj ES). It could effortlessly be a mess, with the script attempting to relate a court drama, a love story, and a legal professional’s political goals, with the added feelings of three households. Many extra characters seamlessly merge into the image: the choose (Srikant Murali), the opposing legal professional (Vijayaraghavan), Pradeep’s assistant and badly making a song album singer Shamsu (Basil Joseph), Shajith’s most effective buddy Mukesh (Nirmal Palazzi).
Divorce is still a touchy challenge, and regarding the court docket, you spot anyone from the decide to the passerby commenting on the need to keep away from it. Only Shajith maintains shouting that he wishes for one simultaneously as his spouse asserts that she likes him. They have been collectively best for one week. While you can see why Shajith is frustrated with being pressured into a wedding, you don’t simply see how Kanthi has fallen for him. He is shown to be detached all the times they may be collectively, now not hiding his displeasure at the deal. Sanileshan, you want, had written extra into Kanthi’s individual, to throw some light into her, the whys and whats of her.
Even Pradeepan’s birthday party chief tells him to take care while managing this situation – isolating a pair may not cross down well with his electorate. And this seems to be the advice that the script follows too. Kanthi could be an angel; however, that doesn’t suggest Shajith ought to want to stay married to her. The importance of consent seems to be dealt with lightly right here, even as the script has dedicated some parts to the debate on arranged marriage. You want, for once, Shajith might open his mouth and spell out why he desires the divorce: no longer the superficial snoring or the size of his wife, however, the fact that he turned into in no way consulted, his critiques by no means are taken into consideration in any of his life choices. Even the honeymoon destination is what the dad declares: Palani.
The comedy, which comes through effects, is helped via the Kannur dialect that all the actors cope with meticulously. Asif is smooth because of the ambitious lawyer and baby-kisser, and his aides – Basil, Lukman – all upload to the script’s neat packaging. Sibila’s sad wife and Aswathy’s cool spouse are clean to love. No position is wasted, and luckily, no individual may be covered as a token.
The frames – especially in the court docket – assist with the situational humor (cinematography: Bahul Ramesh). The movie comes across as a great effort, missing in elements best in which managing the challenge in its entirety is concerned.
