Aamayum
Muyalum
is
the
comedy
movie
directed
by
Priyadarshan.
The
movie,
which
is
the
remake
of
Priyadarshan-directed
Bollywood
flick
Malamaal
Weekly,
stars
Jayasurya,
Nedumudi
Venu
and
Innocent
in
the
central
roles.
Piaa
Bajpai
essays
the
female
lead
opposite
Jayasurya
in
the
movie.
Aamayum
Muyalum
is
produced
by
Jaison
Elamkulam,
under
the
banner
Full
House
Entertainments.
Kashinathan
(Nedumudi
Venu),
Nallavan
(Innocent),
Kallu
(Jayasurya)
and
Thamara(Piaa
Bajpai)
are
the
main
theives
of
Gaulippadi
village.
One
day,
a
villager
wins
a
lottery
of
whopping
amount.
But
the
winner
remains
unknown
and
theives
are
seen
trying
hard
to
find
the
lottery.
During
this
hunt
for
the
lottery
ticket,
some
unfortunate
incidents
happen
and
how
they
handle
the
situation
forms
the
crux
of
the
story.
Cast
And
Performance
Even
though
Jayasurya
is
supposed
to
be
the
lead
actor
of
the
movie,
it
is
Nedumudi
Venu
and
Innocent
who
have
more
screen
space
in
the
movie.
Jayasurya
has
nothing
much
to
do
in
the
movie,
and
looks
fine
in
his
role.
Nedumudi
Venu
and
Innocent
fail
to
create
their
usual
magic
in
the
movie;
but
manage
to
make
the
audience
laugh
at
certain
points.
Piaa
Bajpai,
who
essays
the
female
lead
has
least
scope
to
perform.
Sukanya's
negative
shaded
character
seems
to
be
a
immature
copy
of
Sukumari's
character
from
the
movie
Thenmavin
Kombathu.
Harisree
Ashokan
who
plays
another
supporting
role
also
fails
to
impress.
It
is
Anoop
Menon
who
steals
the
show
with
his
cameo
appearance.
Rest
of
the
cast
including
Nandu,
Mamukoya,
Kochu
Preman
etc
are
just
fine
in
their
roles.
Script
And
Direction
The
major
drawback
of
the
movie
is
the
weak
script
which
leaves
the
plot
blank
at
some
points.
The
script
fails
to
organise
the
characters
and
is
a
bit
confusing.
The
movie
offers
very
less
scope
to
laugh.
When
compared
to
the
classic
comedy
movies
in
his
credit,
Priyadarshan
completely
fails
to
entertain
the
audience
with
the
execution
of
a
below-average
script.
But,
Aamayum
Muyalum
is
far
better
than
his
last
venture
Geethanjali.
Technical
Aspects
The
stunning
visualisation
is
the
saving
grace
of
the
movie.
Cinematographer
Diwakar
and
art
director
Saloo
George
deserves
a
special
mention
for
their
excellent
work.
The
visuals
and
locations
of
the
movie
shows
uncannible
resemblance
with
Priyadarshan's
classic
movie
Thenmavin
Kombathu.
Music
and
Background
Score
Music
and
background
score
is
composed
by
popular
singer
M
G
Sreekumar.
Title
song
Kalyanipuzhayude
Theerathu
is
fine;
while
rest
of
the
songs
fail
to
impress.
But,
the
above-average
background
score
perfectly
sinks
with
the
mood
of
the
movie.
Verdict
An
immature
adaptation
of
Priyadarshan's
earlier
movies.
