Watched the movie yesterday,the movie is ok.l don't know why people are giving soo much of hype for these movies nowadays. First half of movie,is more entertaining than the second half. There are many funny moments in the film initially with Basil and Prithviraj combo. But as the story progresses,there was some ....lag or logic missing in the movie. The character played by prithviraj could have been more entertaining if it was played by actors like Nivin pauly or soubin, who could handle comedy easily. People expect heroic roles from actor like Prithviraj. The is nothing special about the role played by Yogibabu. Compared to other Basil movies like Janagana mana and falimy,this movie is little bit ...low. The movie is just ' A one time watch'.

A fun entertainer by Vipin Das, where Basil and Prithvi peak in their comedy combo on screen. The plot itself is funny, so from the beginning onwards, the theatre started laughing. The main attraction of the movie is the music and background music, especially when they use old songs as the background, which syncs with the shots so smoothly. Vipin's reference game is strong, especially the Drishyam reference, the Nandanam reference, and that Kalyanam invitation shot of Prithvi. There are only a few songs in the movie, but each of them blends seamlessly into the core of the movie. After Amar Akbar Anthony, this is the movie that made me laugh for Prithvi's comedy sequences, even though some scenes didn't quite hit the mark. The combination scenes of Siju Sunny and Safboy also worked for me; their screen presence always excited me throughout the movie. I would like to add Joemon's epic performance as well. However, the Yogi Babu scene didn't work for me personally. I was laughing out loud for about 60% of the movie, but after that, it didn't go as smoothly. After all, it's a great watch in the theatre if you enjoy comedy entertainers.

The film starts off with an incredible bang, delivering a first half that is nothing short of a laugh riot. The initial setup is expertly crafted, replete with sharp writing, well-timed humor, and engaging character dynamics that keep you thoroughly entertained. The direction in this segment is tight, the pacing brisk, and the comedy hits the mark with consistent precision. This is the part of the film that I'd eagerly recommend to anyone looking for a good time at the movies. However, a word of caution is necessary: brace yourself for a noticeable dip in quality as the film progresses into its second half.

After intermission, the movie unfortunately takes a nosedive. The writing loses its earlier sharpness, giving way to a series of poorly constructed scenes that left me cringing in my seat. The once bright and engaging storyline becomes muddled and directionless. It seems as though the writers ran out of steam, resulting in a narrative that drags and feels aimless. The climax, in particular, is disappointingly stretched out, leading to an unsatisfying and gloomy conclusion. What started as a promising journey ends on a sour note, leaving the audience with a sense of unfulfilled potential.

One of the most glaring issues in the second half is the underutilization of Yogi Babu. Known for his impeccable comedic timing and distinctive screen presence, Yogi Babu could have significantly elevated the film had his talents been properly harnessed.

Additionally, the introduction of too many characters mid-way through the film further complicates the narrative. Rather than enriching the story, these characters clutter the plot and detract from the central storyline. The focus shifts erratically, and the film struggles to maintain the coherence and charm that characterized its beginning. This overcrowding dilutes the impact of the main characters, making it hard for the audience to stay invested in their arcs.

In summary, this movie is a textbook example of a tale of two halves. The first half promises a delightful cinematic experience filled with humor and wit, making it a must-watch. However, the second half's weak writing, poor utilization of key talent, and an overabundance of characters derail the film, resulting in a frustrating and lackluster conclusion. If you do decide to watch this film, you might find yourself contemplating leaving at intermission to preserve.

Although some of the humor in the movie is slapstick or references to viral reels and class movies, the movie mostly evokes genuine comedy. It starts off quite well with a captivating plot and good writing but gets predictable once the plot points fall in place. Prithviraj and Basil are at their comedic bests. Basil excels in such roles where he comes across as a realistic character we meet in our daily lives. He may be naive at heart but is no way overtly pure or innocent. Prithviraj as Anandan feels like a character we have seen him play before and pulls it of with ease. Anaswara and Nikhila play their roles well if you exclude some of over and under acting respectively. Nikhila in particular has very few lines and comes across as stoic despite having a major role in the movies plot. This is not her fault as the character development is lacking for all characters.

Despite some subpar writing and forgettable songs,"Guruvayoor Ambalanadayil" is a good family watch for the weekend.
