Dhyan Sreenivasan maybe a decent actor but his writing is not up to even the average mark as Goodalochana terribly fails at comedy. For a funny drama, the film has like 5 jokes in total. Everything else is just tasteless drama. Director Thomas Sebastian manages to start it off well but unfortunately after the first 20 minutes, the light-hearted plot takes a turn to never be found again. The writers have used all the tricks in the book to drive comedy into their story but none of them succeed in making you laugh. Thankfully, they cast Aju Varghese and Hareesh Perimanna, who fool around a little but that's about it. Goodalochana almost feels like a film that gasps for an entertaining factor similar to how a fish would gasp for breath when it's out of the water. There is no proper direction in the story, no strong theme that it settles in, or even a steady flow of jokes to keep your entertained. While the actors have tried their best to do their job, the rookieness of the director and the script writers clearly shows in their characterization, which is almost like improvisation. Except the message that you need to work hard and be deterministic to succeed in life, this film has nothing new to offer. Goodalochana, therefore, is a film that shouldn't have existed. There's no reason you should waste more than 2 hours on this terribly long and terribly boring film TN.
