Laughter therapy for 2 hours and 40 minutes. The universality of Prithviraj. New film Prithviraja Sukumaran And also paired with Mohanlall. Malayalam cinema rules. I just watched it yesterday. Very funny film, comic (not comedy, but comic), but at the same time nice and kind. I did not really understand why in the Russian version, the film was given such a stupid and disparaging title "Daddy"? - it would be more appropriate to translate as a friend. Bro - so in India they call a bosom friend (not a friend, but a friend with whom they have experienced many misadventures and adventures), or even "brother". That is, I think the name would be better translated as - "Friend Dad", or "Brother Dad", because father and son had this relationship.
The plot is almost Shakespearean. The families of Kattadi and Malekkkal hope to be reunited, and they need their children to get married. However, Isho and Anna are in no hurry to obey the will of their parents. They live in Bangalore and develop a romantic relationship, but they are not thinking about the wedding. Everything changes after Anna takes a positive pregnancy test. The situation in the family becomes even more absurd when it turns out that Annama, the mother of Icho, is also pregnant. The young man has a long way to go before he rethinks his life and, in the end, to the delight of all family members still decide to marry Anna.
A beautiful movie. Billed as drama and comedy. Well, I didn't see any special drama or special comedy in it - so, something in between. It reminds me of a French movie. Young people meet, but they don’t want to get married – a fairly common beginning in cinema. And then, boom, and the girl's in position. These stories are often filmed, and not only in India. The guy's not ready to get married. And I've seen that before. And here it turns out that the boy’s mother decided to give birth to “old age”. The film itself is beautiful, with beautiful in the Indian style scenery, dancing.
What amuses me a lot in Indian films, including in southern ones, is the complete disregard for the coincidence and consistency of the age of the actor and the character he plays. As American filmmakers do not care about the appearance of historical personalities, so Indians purple who is there and who plays. That's how this movie works. I do not name all names, but just give an example by actors: my son (Prithviraj Sukumaran) is 36 years old, his father is 60 years old, and his mother is 48 (at 12 years old she became a mother?); daughters in another family (Kalyani Priyadarshan) are 30 years old, her father is 59 years old, and her mother is 40 years old (she gave birth to her at 10 years old?). And I wouldn't find out if it didn't catch my eye. It was very noticeable that mothers were too young for their children.
But the actors-fathers are delighted - they look great. Much younger than his years. But that's not the point. So, I've already identified the main characters, two families. Parents have the same intention to marry their children. Not necessarily on each other, but in principle. The children are in their thirties and thirties, and they are still in free flight. They are in no hurry to commit themselves.
And everything would be simple, but then it turns out that the mother of that adult son is expecting a child again (this reminds us of the Brazilian TV series, in which a daughter of 19-20 years old and a mother of 42-45 years old often marry at the same time and give birth to children almost on the same day). We are talking about a mother of this age and her adult son, who still does not get married. In theory, parents are pensioners, and this is somehow in their opinion not particularly appropriate. In India, late motherhood is not welcome. Watched a movie on a similar theme - Congratulations! In general, such moments there cause close attention and not always a benevolent attitude of others, well, adults themselves.
But on this is built a lot of comedy in the film. In general, this is a household film about everyday affairs. Events cover both work and personal relationships in families and among themselves. And communicate with families, because parents are familiar with youth and friends.
The film is very simple, but pleasant. Good actors. Prithviraj and Mohanlal, gorgeous in the form of father and son. Nice picture. Light and sometimes naive humor. Just a good movie for relaxation and positivity.
Prithviraj has once again proved that he can fit well into comic roles. Why did they make him so bearded? Well, his face is covered, and he looks a lot older with that beard. I think just a mustache would be enough. By the way, Prithvi is also the director of this film. This is his second film as a director. Recently watched "Lucifer" with the same Mohanlal in the title role (although there is also a chic Vivek Oberoy played the main villain, and himself Prithvi in a small role), which is also shot Prithviraj

Mohanlal. I have a lot of respect for this uncle, I won’t say I’m a fan of him, but I really like his work, especially in this film. His mischievous appearance, his smile, his romance make the viewer love this person again and again, and therefore he is called the perfect actor.
The concept of the film is clean and neat, well thought out, with a good script, in which all the twists of the plot are revealed in a neat manner and well played by all the actors. It was like a fun ride with a mixture of emotional, sentimental, comedic and winding episodes.
The overall design of the film is so rich and pleasing to the eye as it mainly revolves around high-end people, and the houses and hotels where the film was shot are rich, which makes the film so enjoyable to watch as everything looks very neat and well presented, the setting itself plays an important role in keeping viewers happy with the film. It’s a funny story, you can see it.
