is
the
directorial
debut
of
scenarist

Manuel
Thomas,
who
entered
movie
industry
with
blockbuster
movie
Om
Shanti
Oshana.
The
movie
stars
Jayasurya
in
the
lead
role.
Aadu
Oru
Bheegara
Jeevi
Aanu
is
produced
by
Vijay
Babu
and
Sandra
Thomas
under
the
banner
Friday
Film
House.
Renji
Panicker,
Vijay
Babu,
Saiju
Kurup,
Indrans,
Chemban
Vinod
Jose,
Vinayakan,
Dharmajan,
Sandra
Thomas
etc
play
the
other
pivotal
roles.
Sunny
Wayne,
Aju
Varghese,
Srinda
Ashab
and
Swathi

appears
in
cameo
roles.
Story
Shaji
Pappan
(Jayasurya)
is
the
captain
of
a
local
tug-war
team
of
Pothumukku.
Pappan
and
his
team
wins
a
tug-war
tournament
and
gets
a
female
goat,
Pinkie
as
a
special
prize.
Pappan
and
his
team
members
are
totally
clueless
about
what
to
do
with
the
goat.
Later,
they
decide
to
kill
the
goat
and
this
forms
the
rest
of
the
story.
Cast
And
Performance
Jayasurya
has
nothing
to
do
with
his
role
Shaji
Pappan;
but
his
performance
eventually
ends
up
as
the
only
saving
grace
of
the
movie.
Vijay
Babu,
who
plays
Inspector
Surbath
Shameer,
disappoints
with
his
unnatural
performance.
The
supporting
cast,
including
Renji
Panicker,
Vijay
BabuSaiju
Kurup,
Indrans,
Chemban
Vinod
Jose,
Vinayakan,
Dharmajan
etc
are
just
fine
in
their
minimal
roles.
Sandra
Thomas,
who
appears
in
a
pivotal
role,
overplays
her
character
and
is
a
total
mismatch
among
the
whole
cast.
Sunny
Wayne,
Aju
Varghese,
Srinda
Ashab
and
Swathi
Reddy
are
ok
in
their
cameo
roles.
Script
And
Direction
The
biggest
weak
point
of
the
movie
is
its
foundation-screen
play.
The
movie,
which
starts
with
a
highly
promising
beginning,
turns
disappoints
with
the
plot
which
lacks
a
strong
story
line.
The
basic
plot
of
the
movie
is
too
small
to
fit
in
to
the
canvas
of
a
feature
film.
Midhun
Manuel
Thomas's
directorial
debut
is
not
impressive
as
expected.
The
director
fails
to
bring
out
a
clarity
into
the
narrative;
thus
some
scenes
and
characters
looks
completely
out
of
place.
Technical
Aspects
Vishnu
Narayan's
cinematography
creates
a
beautiful
backdrop
for
the
movie.
Lijo
Paul's
editing
fails
to
meet
the
standards.
The
title
song
of
the
movie,
which
has
been
picturized
through
animation,
deserves
a
special
applause.
Songs
And
Background
Score
Shaan
Rahman
scores
with
the
perfect
background
score
and
songs.
Verdict
Fails
to
meet
the
expectations
raised
by
the
first
looks
and
trailer.
