Bhagya Devatha

I am not very enthusiastic about watching Jayaram's movies. Especially not in a theatre. But now that I am married, things has to change. So this was the second movie after " Veruthe Oru Bharya" that I have watched in a theatre.
The promos of the movie was good. One or two songs were good and the visualisation was also good.
But the movie disappoints. The movie revolves around regular Cliches. Nothing so different. Dowry, separation, reconsilation & a happy ending.
There is nothing much to write about this movie. But the sad thing is that this movie is going to be a hit. The only thing that i liked in this movie was that the locations of the movie. "Kuttanad" was always one of my favourite locations. There are certain trivial things in this films that we dont see in regular films..like a shot which shows how they r making "achappams"...but we dont go to theatre to watch making "achappams"
Sathyan anthikad proves that he is no exception to the deterioration of old directors like I V Shashi, Sibi Malayil etc

Calcutta News

When blessy came to malayalam film industry through his movie "Kazcha", he made a statement "Here comes a guy from the padmarajan school who is going to make a difference in malayalam cinema". He kind of reinstated the statement in his film "Thanmatra". But after watching "Palunku", we feel that he knows only to make movies in one mould only - nuclear family, kids et al
Now when 'calcutta news' was announced, that was a totally different template , not a regular blessy movie. But today after watching this movie, i almost realise that blessy is finished. He dont have range, nor calibre of padmarajan.
What a damn waste movie. It was really a horror watching this movie. The only thing good about this movie is the songs. They are excellent.
