Check

Plot
The
story
of
Njan
Marykutty
revolves
around
Maathukutty,
who
was
born
as
a
male
with
a
female's
heart.
Later,
Maathukutty
opts
for
a
gender
change
and
becomes
Marykutty.
It
is
her
biggest
aspiration
to
join
the
police
force
and
what
happens
rest
in
her
life,
has
been
narrated
in
Njan
Marykutty.
At
first,
let
us
see
how
the
cast
&
crew
members
of
Njan
Marykutty
have
fared
for
the
movie..
Jayasurya
As
Marykutty
Jayasurya
has
delivered
a
career-best
performance,
which
could
have
gone
wrong
even
with
the
slightest
of
mistakes.
Jayasurya's
portrayal
of
Marykutty
is
meticulous,
spot
on
and
without
any
kind
of
exaggeration.
The
transformation
of
the
character
and
the
emotional
development
are
safe
in
the
hands
of
this
character.
He
keeps
the
character
intact
through
the
film
and
this
man
deserves
a
big
round
of
applause
Rest
Of
The
Cast
Njan
Marykutty
also
features
a
host
of
prominent
actors
in
important
roles.
Suraj
Venjaramoodu
essays
a
crucial
role
playing
the
role
of
an
IAS
officer
and
we
can
say
that
this
man
continues
to
impress
with
his
matured
performances.
Joju
George
is
simply
stunning
as
the
police
officer
and
Ranjith
Sankar
has
offered
him
a
terrific
role
after
Ramante
Edanthottam.
Jewel
Mary
has
done
her
role
neatly.
Similar
is
the
case
of
Aju
Varghese,
who
has
appeared
as
an
RJ.
It
was
nice
to
see
Innocent
in
a
neatly
written
role.
Script
&
Direction
Ranjith
Sankar
has
often
dared
to
come
up
with
subjects
that
are
aren't
addressed
so
often
and
Njan
Marykutty
has
to
be
the
most
daring
one
among
the
lot.
The
storyline
isn't
about
the
twists
and
dramatic
turns
but
it
addresses
the
issues
that
a
person
like
Marykutty
has
to
face.
The
screenplay
is
layered
with
many
such
instances,
which
are
nicely
weaved
into
the
narrative.
Moreover,
the
character
development
looked
more
real
and
kudos
to
the
writer
in
him
for
that.
The
film-maker
in
Ranjith
Sankar
has
taken
the
safe
route,
much
like
his
previous
ventures.
He
has
neatly
packed
the
film,
structuring
the
film
from
the
start
to
the
end
in
a
meticulous
way.
However,
there
are
certain
elements
in
the
second
half
where
he
could
have
reduced
the
melodramatic
approach.
The
over-dependence
on
dialogues
may
not
be
well-digested.
Nevertheless,
he
has
come
out
successful
in
spreading
the
positivity
through
his
film.
Music
Anand
Madhusoodanan,
who
had
earlier
worked
with
the
director
in
the
film
like
Pretham
and
Punyalan
Private
Limited,
has
handled
the
music
department
in
Njan
Marykutty
as
well.
There
are
a
good
number
of
songs
of
the
film
and
most
of
them
gel
well
with
the
narrative.
The
BGM
is
much
similar
to
his
previous
works,
but
still
it
suits
well
to
the
narrative
style
of
the
movie.
Other
Aspects
Vishnu
Narayanan
has
handled
the
cinematography
department
of
the
movie
and
he
has
done
his
part
well.
Editing
by
V
Saajan
is
good
but
could
have
taken
a
bit
more
care
in
the
second
half.
Special
mention
to
Saritha
Jayasurya
who
has
done
a
fantastic
job
with
the
costumes
of
Marykutty.
Overall
View
Njan
Marykutty
addresses
some
important
issues
and
it
vouches
for
the
people,
who
are
sidelined,
neglected
and
mocked
at
for
no
reasons.
Njan
Marykutty
takes
their
side
and
lets
you
know
the
difficulties
that
a
human
undergoes
due
to
the
mindset
of
the
society.
Both
the
halves
of
the
film
have
been
evenly
placed
and
Njan
Marykutty
is
largely
informative.
There
are
moments
in
the
film
where
it
could
have
gone
a
bit
too
preachy
but
they
have
been
complemented
well
with
situations
close
to
reality,
towards
which
the
society
has
often
turned
a
blind
eye.
Marykutty's
friends,
family
and
the
representatives
of
the
highly
conservative
society
etc.,
are
a
part
of
the
narrative.
All
these
have
been
embedded
in
the
film
in
an
engaging
and
entertaining
manner.
Moreover,
Njan
Marykutty
doesn't
resort
itself
to
criticisms
alone
as
it
also
features
a
group
of
characters,
who
are
supportive
to
the
film's
protagonist.
The
amount
of
positivity
and
confidence
that
the
protagonist
has
will
transpire
to
the
normal
audiences
and
make
them
think
from
Marykutty's
viewpoint.
Definitely,
Njan
Marykutty
is
not
devoid
of
shortcomings
but
the
good
intent
of
the
film
&
the
positivity
that
it
radiates
does
overcome
all
those
minor
flaws.
Verdict
Njan
Marykutty,
which
has
a
matchless
performance
from
Jayasurya,
has
come
out
at
the
right
time
and
it
is
the
need
of
the
hour.
The
film
will
make
a
lasting
impact
in
the
minds
of
the
viewers
and
it
has
a
very
unique
subject.
