Ouseppinte Osiyathu

Rating - 3.5/5

An emotionally burning family drama set on the backdrop of a hillside town in Idukki.

The plot of the story is about a planter & his family where the film explores the variations in their relationship dynamics on their selfish urge for survival.

The movie initiates in a cold mood but takes coherence as the story progresses and the director has maintained the pace of the movie demanded by the story but the main plot is highly predictive. Fazal Hassan has penned a good screenplay portraying the emotional dynamics and layers of the main characters. The movie gives us a medium for reflecting upon ourselves on what will be our move on an emotionally broken situation within our immediate family circle. The climax sequence was a thought provoking move by the filmmakers leaving the audience numb.

Subtle performance by Vijayaraghavan as the miser planter. Dileesh Pothen & Shajon has made stellar performances of their characters demanding abrupt emotional variations. Kani Kusruthi,Lena,Hemanth Menon,Joji & Zarin Shihab made convincing performances.

Good shots by Arvind Kannabiran capturing the essence of the hilly terrain. A good family drama that is worth watching with intense and disturbing performances.
