What's
Yay:
Situational

Performances
What's
Nay:
Old-school
storytelling
Plot
Keshavan
aka
Keshu
(Dileep)
is
a
60-plus
man
who
runs
a
driving
school
and
is
in
a
financial
mess.
He
leads
a
simple
life
with
his
wife
Ratham
(Urvashi),
kids,
and
aged
mother
(Valsala
Menon).
Keshu's
sisters
and
their
husbands
trouble
him
for
their
share
in
their
property.
Before
taking
a
decision
on
the
partition,
Keshu
decides
to
visit
Rameshwaram
with
his
entire
family
to
immerse
the
ashes
of
his
late
father.
However,
he
receives
a
piece
of
good
news
that
could
change
his
fortune
during
the
trip.
Director
Nadrishah
has
presented
a
simple
family
entertainer
with
an
ample
dose
of
humour,
with
this
Dileep
starrer.
Sajeev
Pazhoor,
the
National
award-winning
writer
has
attempted
the
comedy
genre
for
the
first
time
with
Keshu
Ee
Veedinte
Nadhan,
which
emerges
as
a
fun
watch
for
most
of
its
parts.
However,
the
writer-director
duo
has
stuck
to
the
old-school
way
of
storytelling,
that
might
not
appeal
to
the
audiences
who
have
upgraded
themselves.
Nadirshah
takes
a
totally
different
turn
with
Keshu
Ee
Veedinte
Nadhan
and
has
made
a
film
that
majorly
relies
on
situational
humour.
The
dialogues
in
the
movie
are
crisp
and
effective,
and
there
are
quite
a
lot
of
one-liners
that
make
us
chuckle.
But,
Keshu
Ee
Veedinte
Nadhan
struggles
to
take
things
forward
towards
the
second
half
with
a
string
of
half-baked
scenes,
which
doesn't
land
well.
However,
this
Dileep
starrer
will
impress
the
family
audiences,
who
prefer
a
simple
entertainer
to
watch
this
New
Year.
Dileep
has
played
the
titular
character
Keshu
effectively,
and
once
again
proves
his
expertise
in
handling
both
the
humour
and
makeovers.
However,
the
actor
tends
to
get
overboard
with
the
mannerisms
of
a
60-plus
man
at
parts.
Urvashi,
who
plays
Rathnam
is
the
show
stealer
of
Keshu
Ee
Veedinte
Nadhan.
The
veteran
actress
has
outshined
all
her
co-stars
with
her
amazing
comic
timing
and
one-liners.
The
rest
of
the
star
cast,
including
Naslen
K
Gafoor,
Harisree
Ashokan,
Kalabhavan
Shahjohn,
Kottayam
Nazeer,
Valsala
Menon,
Jaffer
Idukki,
Seema
G
Nair,
Swasika,
Priyanka,
and
others
are
good
in
their
respective
roles.
Technical
Aspects
Cinematographer
Anil
Nair's
colourful
frames
and
Sajan's
editing
makes
Keshu
Ee
Veedinte
Nadhan
an
almost
smooth
watch.
The
music
score
composed
by
Nadirshah
is
suitable
for
the
mood
of
this
Dileep
starrer.
Verdict
Keshu
Ee
Veedinte
Nadhan
is
the
complete
entertainer
that
possesses
a
charm
that
appeals
to
family
audiences.
The
humour
and
performances
make
this
Dileep
starrer
a
pretty
enjoyable
watch,
despite
its
flaws.
