User Reviews

One Of The Best Antholgy Film in Recent Times!

Comparing D Company and Poppins, 5 Sundarikal is the best Anthology Film in recent times. The film was highly an anticipating one probably due to the cast including the new gen stars of Malayalam, Fahadh Faasil, Dulquer Salmaan and Nivin Pauly. As the name suggests, the film consists of 5 short films featuring 5 Sundarikal or 5 Beauty Ladies.

SETHULEKSHMI - This short film was one of the best one and had given a great message to young people especially teenagers and children. Role of Sethulakshmi was done by Baby Anika, and she had done it amazingly which, ultimately, helped her to win the Kerala State Award for Best Child Artist. Direction was awesome.

ISHA - This might not be the best one in the film but the climax was the success of the film. New Gen Star Nivin Pauly plays the role of a thief in the film, name apparently, Santa. Heroine also had a great role in the film, Isha. Direction was OK, Camera was Awesome and Art Department was also Awesome. Message given through the film was not such clear. This was my least favorite one in the film comparing others. But Still, it is a recommending one.

GOWRI - Probably, the best one in the film. Frankly, this was my and my whole family's favorite short film in this film. I loved Biju Menon and Kavya Madhavan through this film. Don't know why they didn't show the close up of Rimi Tomy in the film. By giving a great message, i.e, Happiness is not always stable in life, the film in the end, changes its genre (Its a surprise). Direction was good.

KULLANTE BHARYA -This gives an outstanding message to the new 'predicting the forthcoming' society. Unwanted suspicions, actions, misunderstandings without knowing the exact reason all are needed to come at a halt - This is that message. DQ did well. Kullan and his wife also did well. Direction was good. I love this and Sethulakshmi, somewhat, equally.

AAMI - The film gives us a message that 'A Wife is the only person who cares you after Parents! Never Cheat Her!'. Fahadh did an excellent role. Direction and Art were Superb. BGM was good. This was my second most favorite in the film.
