artless yet hilarious fiesta..

The title is awkwardly lengthy to even say, so is the plot, oh and would dare to say if there ever is a plot in this awkwardly lengthy movie. So goes "Arabiyum Ottakavum P.Madhavan Nairum in Marubhumi kadha", now hows that for a title!! Let's get it straight, this is no cinema which should be considered an art, and if u want to laugh your heart out, this is the way home. And that's where the movie gets its tag as an entertainer, u have some clichéd kidnapping plot, the same old bread winner story where he toils his ass off & finally finds love, the family man in debt crisis and so goes the story which has been told a million times. But oh, wait a second! Dare to miss a movie when it figures Mohanlal & Mukesh. And so what, I never felt being at cinema and laughed my ass off.

The music was good, the scenes so stealing – that's a guarantee with Priyadarshan movies – with good editing and comical appearances from many actors, that too isn't new in a Priyadarshan movie. Let me reiterate, those who love non-brainy comedies would have loved every bit of it. The working class & family would easily love it, and for the serious movie buffs, 2 hours of enjoyment followed by a review slamming the movie!! Well, I had fun watching it and I should admit as a movie buff, there's nothing in it. ;-) Keep your brain at home and go for this hilarious fiesta.
