Bobby,
directed
by
Shebi
Chowgath
has
made
an
entry
to
the
theatres,
today
(August
18,
2017).
Starring
Niranj
and
popular
actress
Miya
George
in
the
lead
roles,
Bobby
has
been
tagged
as
a
romantic
entertainer
with
a
different
and
rather
interesting
plot.
Plot
The
story
of
Bobby
revolves
around
a
youngster
of
the
same
name,
who
is
21
years
old.
Bobby
is
a
Seminari
student,
but
it
is
not
his
cup
of
tea.
He
gets
ousted
from
there
due
to
his
behaviour
and
later
he
meets
Maria,
an
ex-bank
employee,
who
is
7
years
elder
to
him.
Bobby
tries
to
win
her
love
but
Maria
has
her
own
share
of
problems.
What
happens
later
forms
the
rest
of
the
story.
At
first,
let's
see
how
the
actors
of
the
film
have
fared
for
the
movie..
Niranj
As
Bobby
Niranj,
is
making
his
debut
as
a
lead
hero
in
Bobby.
He
plays
the
title
character
and
the
role
is
a
perfect
fit
for
a
youngster
like
him.
In
the
initial
portions
of
the
film,
he
tried
too
much
to
become
someone
else,
and
he
lacked
the
energy
that
the
character
required.
But,
in
the
second
half
the
actor
in
him
rose
to
the
occasion.
There
was
a
new
found
energy
in
him,
with
Niranj
excelling
in
humorous
and
romantic
sequences.
Well,
Niranj
is
an
actor
with
huge
potential
and
the
second
half
of
the
film
proves
that.
Miya
George
As
Maria
The
role
of
Maria
was
a
cakewalk
for
an
actress
like
Miya
George.
She
looked
extremely
beautiful
in
each
and
every
frame
and
she
has
given
a
credible
performance
as
the
leading
lady.
In
fact,
she
overcomes
some
of
the
negatives
of
the
movie,
with
her
genuine
performance.
Aju
Varghese
As
Jimmy
Disappointingly,
you
don't
get
to
see
much
of
Aju
Varghese
in
Bobby.
He
cracks
a
few
jokes
in
the
initial
portions
of
the
movie
but
his
character
has
been
hugely
wasted.
The
actor
gets
to
play
a
poorly
written
role,
but
still
he
manages
to
put
up
a
good
show
whenever
he
comes
on
screen.
Rest
Of
The
Cast
The
film
also
features
actors
like
Pashanam
Shaji,
Sinoj
Varghese,
Shammi
Thilakan,
Hemanth
Menon,
Kalasala
Babu,
Noby
etc.,
in
important
roles.
Pashanam
Shaji
has
a
meaty
role
to
play
in
the
film
and
his
one-liners
in
the
first
half
save
the
film
from
being
a
big
disappointment.
How
Is
The
Movie?
Bobby
has
a
theme
less
explored
in
Malayalam
films.
The
film
narrates
the
story
of
a
guy
who
falls
for
a
girl
older
than
him.
Yes,
Bobby
has
a
promising
plot,
the
film
fails
to
stay
true
to
its
genre
of
romantic
comedy.
The
first
half
of
the
film
lingers
here
and
there,
trying
hard
to
establish
its
lead
characters
and
their
romantic
track.
A
host
of
illogical
scenes,
in
the
name
of
creating
comedy
hampered
the
proceedings.
Moreover,
the
writer
and
director
have
failed
to
establish
Bobby's
love
for
Maria,
in
a
convincing
manner.
It
is
only
towards
the
second
half
that
the
film
gains
some
life.
The
premises
were
perfectly
set
for
a
fun
filled
entertainer.
The
romantic
track
also
becomes
alive
in
the
latter
half.
Some
of
the
sequences
involving
the
lead
pair
takes
the
film
to
a
new
track.
But
such
instances
remained
short
lived
and
later,
Bobby
fell
in
to
the
terrain
of
clichéd
sagas
towards
the
end.
It
is
hard
to
believe
that
Shebi
Chowgath,
the
man
who
impressed
with
his
innovative
work
in
Tourist
Home,
is
the
same
man
behind
Bobby.
It
is
definitely
a
disappointing
style
of
making
from
this
talented
man
and
in
fact,
many
scenes
even
lacked
continuity
and
clarity.
The
script
penned
by
the
director
too,
doesn't
offer
anything
new.
The
cinematography
by
Prasanth
Krishnan
is
splendid
and
we
get
to
see
some
fascinating
frames
in
the
film.
It
has
to
be
said
that
Bobby
is
high
on
visual
splendidness.
Editing
of
the
film
was
strictly
average.
Songs
set
to
tune
by
Ronnie
Raphel
are
good,
but
the
background
score
takes
you
back
to
the
drama
era.
Verdict
Despite
getting
a
good
plot,
Bobby
fails
in
providing
anything
new
other
than
some
occasional
laughs.
