MOVIE: NJANDUKALUDE NATTIL ORU EDAVELA [Mal]
Genre: Family/Drama/Comedy
Cast: Nivin Pauly,Lal
Director: Althaf Salim
Deeps rating: 7.5/10
Verdict: A movie carrying a strong content and a great message.

Nivin Pauly is an intelligent actor.His choice of movies underlines that fact.All his latest releases except Sakhavu were accepted by general public.He is one actor who hasn't got stuck into one type of role in Mollywood.After Premam there was that heavy risk of getting stuck in movies as a college hero or a romantic guy, and it has happened to many stars before.But Nivin got out of that image quicly with his precise choice of roles and variety scripts .Now there he is, smeared with success.

                  This movie deals with the deadly disease called Cancer and lives of people suffering from it.I don't want to get into any details of the story as it may spoil your fun of watch.This is a simple movie that flows all along like a quite river, but slowly slurping her banks into it.The first half carries some light hearted comedy which provides the much needed tenderness to this complex subject the movie deals with.To the second half the movie becomes more momentous with emotions and pain as always associated with this disease.The movie ends with a a good note ,leaving a strong message to all who is suffering from Cancer.

                 The director seems to had his job well worked out.The planning was just too good that it shows in every frame and the smooth sail of the movie throughout.No major flaws are there in the technical side too.
Nivin has done his part well.But Lal seems to have lost his plot in some scenes.

                 If you feel slight resemblance with Jacobinte Swargarajyam ,then you are not wrong.The matter of fact remains whether it is the right time to release a heavy content movie like this.Onam and festivities around,I think families would prefer fun rather than the dark sides of realty.With Velipadinte Pusthakam around it will be a tough ride this season.Let's wait and see.I would recommend to watch this movie because IT'S A MOVIE THAT MATTER'S.

TIP OF THE DAY: "SOMETIMES THERE WON'T BE A SONG IN YOUR HEART.SING ANYWAY."
