Award
winning
director
Madhu
Kaithapram's
latest
venture
Orma
Maathram,
which
features
Dileep
in
a
serious
look,
was
expected
to
give
him
a
new
image
in
the
industry.
But
the
movie
looks
like
an
old
fashioned
art
film
and
its
illogical
script
fails
to
engage
the
audience
in
its
proceedings.
Orma
Mathram
is
a
family
drama,
which
revolves
around
a
father's
pursuit
for
his
lost
son.
Dileep's
serious
acting
is
the
major
attraction
of
the
film.
The
movie
throws
light
on
some
social
issues
like
abortion,
guilt,
inter-caste
marriage
and
child
labor.
But
its
old
fashioned
narration
mars
its
beauty.
The
main
problem
of
the
film
is
that
director
Madhu
Kaithapram
has
chosen
an
unconvincing
story.
The
movie
is
simply
prosaic
and
its
story
moves
along
aimlessly
with
its
uninspiring
events.
Some
unwanted
characters
and
slow
paced
narration
add
to
the
weak
story.
Ajayan
(Dileep)
is
a
clerk
at
the
office
of
Public
Prosecutor
Radhakrishna
Warrier
(Jagathy
Sreekumar).
He
lives
with
his
wife
Safiya
(Priyanka
Nair)
and
their
son
Deepu
in
an
old
street.
His
wife
decides
to
go
for
abortion,
as
she
thinks
that
another
child
might
split
their
love
between
the
children.
Meanwhile,
there
is
a
bomb
blast,
where
their
kid
is
lost
and
a
fatal
eye
disease
that
is
affecting
Ajayan"s
vision.
What
happens
next
will
form
the
rest
of
the
story.
As
Ajayan,
Dileep
appears
very
serious
in
his
kurtas
and
he
has
delivered
a
good
performance
to
suit
the
story.
Priyanka
Nair
has
also
given
a
decent
performance.
But
their
chemistry
does
not
go
well
on
screen.
Dhanya
Mary
Varghese,
Salim
Kumar,
Jagathy,
Nedumudi,
Manoj
K
jayan
and
others
have
nothing
much
to
perform.
Kaithapram
Viswanathan"s
music
and
MJ
Radhakrishnan"s
camera
work
have
failed
to
impress
the
viewers.
Overall,
Orma
Mathram
is
a
boring
realistic
movie,
which
can
be
avoided
by
the
viewers.
