The plot of this comedy is very basic with just a dash of thriller included by director Praveen Narayanan that makes it a fairly watchable affair. Roopesh Peethambran plays a young man who is into moving and packing business in the city but is known in his village as someone who hobnobs with the who's who of Tinseltown. Believing him based on the Photoshopped photos that he shares on his Facebook, Prakashan (Rony David) takes the next train to the city with the hopes of directing a film. All hopes go to the drain when he finds out the truth, and in addition, the uglier truth that his friend is down and out, living with two good-for-nothing men - a gym freak and a loafing loverboy. There is a lot of sequences in Ankarajyathe Jimmanmar that will make you laugh out loud, thanks to the crisp writing, the dialogue delivery, and filler dubbing. What looks like a typical film about a gang of not the brightest four men being in the wrong place at the wrong time, this one never bores, except for Anu Mohan's cringeworthy performance as the loverboy who ogles at every woman that he sees on the street. It is also disheartening to see Rajeev Pillai play a dim-witted gym freak here, but that was compensated by Sujith Sankar's slightly different role in a different get-up and using a different dialect. Overall, there is a lot of original comedy in Narayanan's debut attempt, which only suffers in the second half due to its mindless crassness that sometimes makes no sense. Ankarajyathe Jimmanmar is not an out and out comedy, but it definitely is entertaining. TN.
