Sringaravelan - Review


Earlier here in my blog I had posted my expectations for this movie. As a fan of Dileep I was kind of expecting a clean entertaining as it claims to be. The movie has a huge star cast that includes the likes of Lal, Kalabhavan shajon, Nedumudi venu, Shammi thilakan, as co-stars.

Nothing much to say as Dileep once again fell into the trap of sibi Udayan's. The movie has virtually no storyline. The good thing is that they packaged it very well with some hilarious comedy scenes. Lal, Kalabhavan Shajon, baburaj all did their parts well as sidekicks to the hero. One can call this movie a laugh riot and as a time pass one. There is a  lot of situation comedy which works out pretty well that makes you ROFL.

Dileep plays the role of kannan who studied fashion designing and not interested in prolonging a career in that area. Instead, his interests were on how to become a billionaire without taking much effort. One day, he ended up in an old palace, send by his father. His life then takes a complete 'u' turn as he finds a girl of his dreams. He falls in love with that girl. [Vedika] But the problems arise when the heroine and her father were under the attack of some Mumbai connection. How he copes with those guys and convincing heroine's father for marriage forms the rest of the story.

One may ask what kind of a stupid storyline this is. But the movie is completely intended to entertain the audience. Uday-sibi-dileep has once again come up with the answer to that by delivering a clean festival entertainer. I've laughed hard in many of the scenes and the rest of the audience in the theatre. Some scenes were so hilarious that some people jumps up and down in their seats. The movie's main audience is family. I'm certain that they will enjoy the movie to the core. The response from youth is predictably bad. But who cares !!. 95% of them would have laughed so hard in the theatre and left with another mindset. With uday-sibi, the movie should be crap. Now, I'm not saying they should call the movie a perfect entertainer or anything.. But the movie is not a 1/5 or 0.5/5 type as some internet guys say. It is definitely much much better than that.

Saying all this, Uday-sibi are much more talented than making a movie like this. The plot is very much similar to their recent hits Mr marumakan, Mayamohini and karyasthan. They could have at least change the plot for this one. The heroine's father here can't speak either Hindi or English, which was bizarre. The character of ukkan tintu was hilarious. They recreated that character with with some really funny 1 liners. It was even hilarious than in the original film 'Neram'. Baburaj's intro greeted with claps but, fails to impress much. Lal was throughout hilarious in his role as 'Yesu'.


The songs were good , apart from the title track. There are some good melody tracks. Berny Ignatious did a good job indeed. BGM was Avg to good. Dileep was looking young and smart and delivers a solid performance. Heroine vedika also deserves some appreciation as she exceeds my expectations of her. Camera work by Shaji was crisp with some stylish shots. Editing was good. Direction was fast paced.

If you like to spend 2.45 hrs in this Onam season for some dumb fun, then sringaravelan is your unanimous choice. Serious movie lovers and so called BUJI'S please stay away.

Personally, am disappointed by the effort put by a great combo here. Only because they are capable of producing much more.!



5.5/10
