Daivame
Kaithozham
K
Kumarakanam,
the
much
anticipated
film
of
Jayaram,
directed
by
none
other
than
popular
actor
Salim
Kumar,
has
hit
the
theatres
today
(January
12,
2018).
Daivame
Kaithozham
K
Kumarakanam
has
been
tagged
as
an
entertainer
giving
due
importance
to
Fun,
Family
and
Fantasy.
Plot
The
story
of
Daivame
Kaithozham
K
Kumarakanam
is
set
in
a
village,
where
Krishna
Kumar
and
his
wife
Nirmala
reside.
Krishna
Kumar,
who
is
a
village
extension
officer,
has
a
laid
back
attitude
and
he
delegates
all
tasks
to
his
wife.
One
day,
the
God
and
his
assistant
pay
a
visit
to
his
house
and
what
happens
has
been
narrated
in
an
interesting
manner
in
Daivame
Kaithozham
K
Kumarakanam.
Let's
see
how
the
cast
and
crew
members
of
Daivame
Kaithozham
K
Kumarakanam
have
fared
for
the
movie..
Jayaram
As
Krishna
Kumar
Here
is
the
Jayaram
that
we
have
been
waiting
to
see.
The
film
offers
the
perfect
platform
for
vintage
Jayaram
to
perform
and
he
is
sure
to
silence
his
critics,
with
his
portrayal
of
Krishna
Kumar,
a
family
man.
He
has
done
his
part
perfectly
well
and
in
the
first
half
of
the
movie
he
scores
with
his
impeccable
coming
timing.
Meanwhile,
the
actor
has
excelled
in
the
emotional
sequences,
as
well.
Anusree
As
Nirmala
Anusree
plays
a
character
named
Nirmala,
the
wife
of
Krishna
Kumar
in
Daivame
Kaithozham
K
Kumarakanam.
She
has
done
her
part
neatly
and
the
two
different
versions
of
Nirmala
are
safe
in
her
hands.
Rest
Of
The
Cast
Nedumudi
Venu
has
been
cast
as
the
'God' and
rightly,
the
ever
dependent
actor
didn't
disappoint.
It
was
good
to
see
Kottayam
Pradeep
in
a
full-length
role
as
the
assistant
of
God.
Sreenivasan
makes
his
presence
felt
with
a
role
of
due
importance.
It
felt
like
Surabhi
was
wasted
in
such
a
role.
On
the
other
hand,
Salim
Kumar
plays
a
masterstroke
and
his
portrayal
of
Gopi
Karimannoor
does
offer
some
moments
of
laughter.
Script
&
Direction
–
Salim
Kumarakan
This
is
the
third
directorial
venture
of
Salim
Kumar
but
it
is
for
the
first
time
that
he
is
handling
a
commercial
movie.
The
script
of
the
film
has
been
penned
by
the
director
himself
and
it
has
a
rather
interesting
storyline,
with
fantasy
elements.
The
writer
in
him
has
made
it
a
point
to
distribute
comedy,
satire
and
emotional
elements
in
the
right
proportions.
Salim
Kumar,
the
film-maker
proves
once
again
that
he
is
here
to
stay.
He
has
been
successful
in
packaging
a
film,
which
will
suit
the
taste
of
the
family
audiences.
Yes,
there
are
some
minor
glitches
in
the
film
where
he
loses
the
control
and
pace
in
the
latter
half
of
the
movie.
But
still,
Salim
Kumar
has
wrapped
the
film
with
all
the
necessary
ingredients.
At
the
same
time,
he
has
dared
to
bring
in
some
experimental
factors
in
a
commercial
film
like
this.
Music
&
BGM
The
songs
of
the
film
have
been
set
to
tune
by
Nadirshah.
The
title
song
of
the
film
has
gained
the
attention
of
the
audiences.
Bijibal
has
done
a
decent
job
with
the
BGM
of
the
film.
Other
Technical
Aspects
Young
cinematographer
Sinu
Sidharth
has
helmed
the
camera
department
of
Daivame
Kaithozham
K
Kumarakanam
and
he
has
set
frames
according
to
the
demands
of
the
genre
of
the
film.
Editing
by
Riyas
is
OK,
as
he
could
have
done
a
better
job
for
the
second
half
of
the
film
to
get
away
with
the
lagging
moments.
Special
mention
for
the
make-up
department
of
the
movie.
Overall
View
Daivame
Kaithozham
K
Kumarakanam
has
a
uniqueness
associated
with
it.
The
film
could
have
gone
on
to
become
a
usual
family
movie
traversing
the
husband-wife
issues.
But,
the
movie
takes
the
aid
of
fantasy
elements
to
make
it
a
much
more
interesting
affair.
More
importantly,
Daivame
Kaithozham
K
Kumarakanam
serves
as
a
good
satire,
as
well,
with
the
movie
touching
most
of
the
issues
of
the
current
socio-political
scenarios,
through
the
various
sequences
presented
in
the
film.
At
the
same
time,
some
of
them
have
been
forced
upon,
just
for
the
sake
of
it.
The
first
half
of
Daivame
Kaithozham
K
Kumarakanam
is
a
thoroughly
entertaining
ride
with
humorous
portions
ruling
the
roost.
In
the
second
half,
the
film
slows
down
a
bit
with
the
film
giving
due
importance
to
emotional
elements.
But
still,
such
sequences
are
necessary
in
such
family
based
movies.
The
film
also
does
offer
some
surprises
and
twists
and
they
do
hit
the
right
chords.
Verdict
Daivame
Kaithozham
K
Kumarakanam
is
not
an
infallible
movie,
but
it
serves
its
purpose
by
delivering
a
fine
family
entertainer
with
satirical
elements...More
importantly,
the
film
has
brought
back
the
Jayaram
that
we
all
love.
