Family Picture Mommy and Me Review

Mummy & Me is the latest malayalam movie staring Kunchacko Boban, Archana Kavi, Mukesh, Lalu Alex, Urvashi, Shari, Janardhanan, Anoop Menon. and directed by Jithu Joseph.

World over malayalees life is getting a make over due to the influence of tv programes. That is the same reason why this movie may become a success.

The film talks about the generation gap between a teenager and her mother portrayed by Archana Kavi and Urvasi, respectively.

Archana Kavi protrays todays teenage daugher in a middle class family who is demanding more freedom in her life. She is not happy with her mother trying to control her life. Father played by Mukesh has to bear the burnt of this, as he fails to bridge the gap between them.

And there is Jewel’s young brother who tries to spy on her; Rahul (Kunchako Boban), son of Joseph’s childhood friend (Lalu Alex), who acts as Jewel’s local guardian and secretly likes her. Story takes the turn as Jewel gets into trouble with the college bad guys and rahul saves her.

The movie is carried forward in the safe hands of Urvasi and Kunchako to some extend. Urvasi takes to the role as a fish would take to water. I saw one of her inerview where she speaks like a dumb girl. She has screen presence, but needs to hone down the histrionics. Kunchako Boban shaves off his moustache to look like a college student and succeeds in doing so to a large extent. Mukesh and Lalu alex are just part of the movie.

This movie is getting ample attention and is is going to be another successfull in Malayalam as the subject and the presentation is loved by the malayalee family world wide. The society is looking for such good movies rather than purely commercial cinema.

Writer-director Jeethu Joseph tries to prove his versatility with this film, but does not succeed fully as the film is very loud. It may be the title and the story line which is doing the magic.
