Predictable Jayaram Story and Climax
linoytk3 June 2011
When a movie is directed by Shafi we know what to except from the movie. A combination of full length comedy movie with lesser importance to a strong story line. But still it would once in a while give memorable characters and dialogs such as Innocent in Kalyana Raman and Salim Kumar in Pulival Kalyanam.

The film has Jayaram as Balu, who is amidst losses after floating an event management company. He is in such deep debt that he has to enter his own house after dark like a thief to avoid bumping into his many creditors. It is in this dismal situation that he is forced to take care of Soorya (Sheela), who is madly in love with him and has fled from her home before her marriage to be with him. Balu's only company in the city is a film production manager Kichu Manjaly (Suraj Venjarammoodu), who arranges their stay in the hotel room allotted for a new heroine of the movie. Confusions galore follows and Soorya is forced to act as the new face and soon she is selected as the heroine of the new film 'Cindrella' by director Siddharth(Siddique), which is under production. The director changes her name to 'Anamika' and in order to stay close with her, Balu takes the role of her personal makeup man.. The climax of the movie seems to be goofed up due its predictable nature.

Jagathi didn't had much to do in the movie compared to Suraj Venjaaramoodu. Siddique was pick of the lot as a supporting role. Prithviraj,Kunchakko did a cameo appearance without much importance to their roles. Songs are below average considering the talent and capability of Vidhyasagar and there isn't much to pick as for hummable tunes I wouldn't recommend this as an entertainer and worth enough to be seen more than once with its weak story line and climax. Rather recommend the older movies of director such as Kalyana Raman, Chocolate and Pulival Kalyanam if you are looking for a full length comedy movie.

Unfunny but entertaining
vjnambu30 September 2020
Makeup man doesn't offer those wholesome laughters while one watches from a jayaram or shafi comedy film, but still I felt it entertaining without any dull moment mainly because its plot was engaging though predictable. Jayaram and siddique cakewalks in their hero and villain characters respectively. Sheela was also decent and suraj wasn't over the top like usual. Two songs by vidyasagar were good in which my pick is aaru tharum. If you don't mind its lack of lol moments and clichéd story then you will enjoy makeup man.
