Where Ann Maria Kalippilaanu scores heavily is in its narrative pattern. The director has employed an interesting narrative pattern taking us through the life of Ann Maria through different characters in the film.
Performances
Sara Arjun plays the lead role of Ann Maria and she definitely is the life of the movie. The young kid has made a solid debut in Malayalam and she is sure to win the hearts of the audiences in the coming days.
Sunny Wayne gets a meaty role in the form of Poompaatta Gireesh, a small time gunda and a lazy guy. He has put up a convincing performance. Aju Varghese is at his usual best and leaves a mark, as Ambrose. A big applause to Siddique, as this man is unstoppable and he is sure to entertain you with the portrayal Babychayan.

Script & Direction
First thing first, Ann Maria Kalippilaanu is not a film in the lines of the director's previous venture Aadu, which fetched him good popularity. The director has taken a different path in narrating a feel-good movie. Don't expect the heavy BGMs or complete style sequences, that you saw in Aadu.
Midhun Manuel Thomas has used his creative liberties up to a good extent and he has smartly packaged some scenes, which would answer the doubts in your mind. But, still the director could have taken care of some cliche elements like those in the climax and certain scenes involving the kids.
Script jointly written by Midhun Manuel Thomas and Jithin Manthrickal, has addressed some of the major social issues, without losing the entertainment factor. On the flip side, while some characters have been brilliantly developed, some others have got loose ends.
Music & BGM
Shaan Rahman never disappoints and his fresh tunes have contibuted a lot to the film. Sooraj S Kurupp also scores well with the BGM.
Cinematography & Editing
Vishnu Sharma has done a good job in capturing some good frames. Expertise of Lijo paul has come in to play in editing and he has done well to keep the running length to just over 2 hours.
Verdict
Ann Maria Kalippilaanu is a genuine feel-good movie with some good moments to offer to the audiences. The film won't disappoint you as it has been freshly packaged by Midhun Manuel Thomas.
