Padayottam (2018) User Reviews

An entertaining road movie.

[Azanspy · 7/10 · 23 November 2018]

Malayalam industry had a few road movies in the past years. We have one or two to remember and the rest to forget. Padayottam is one road movie to remember. It is funny, engaging and good twists. Biju Menon did a very good performance as Chenkal Raghu. Watch this movie with your family and have a good time.

Funny!

No big story, suspense, action; still interesting to watch. Watch it with low expectations, won't disappoint for sure.

Molecule Review: Padayottam (6 Stars)

[nairtejas · 6/10 · 27 September 2018]

Sometimes I wonder what makes Biju Menon so intrinsically talented that he can have the looks of a rowdy goon and still make you laugh. Then I realize that it's not just about his talent but also about his co-actors and the writing. Padayottam is that type of a film where talent, acting, and inventive writing come together to create a fun ride that is only let down by few minor gaps in the plot. Menon plays a 'gunda' from Trivandrum whose reputation precedes his entrance. Trouble hits home for everyone involved when his help is sought by a local gym owner cum low-profile 'gunda' (Dileesh Pothan) and his chums to seek revenge from a guy who lives in Kasargod, a place known to be brutish as hell. The crime comedy follows this motley crew as they go from one point to another and engage in tomfoolery to ultimately wrap their heads around an abduction that will test their real power of hooliganism. A lot of time, I sensed that the humor was forced, but that can be ignored, thanks to Sudhi Koppa's phenomenal character and comic timing, giving you enough to sit back, relax, and chuckle. Rafeek Ibrahim's Padayottam is not perfect but it is a fairly enjoyable gangster flick with scores of quotable one-line jokes. TN.

Even though the setting of the movie was bad in the beginning,the storyline turned out to be good towards the end. There aast some difficulty in understanding the dialogues due to the dialect portrayed in the movie but still it will definitely make you laugh. Overall average

Padayottam is a very entertaining film from start to finish which surprises you here and there with its twists and turns. I loved the performances of Biju Menon, dileesh pothan, lijo jose pellisery and basil thomas. Biju Menon's Chenkeli Raghu sometimes reminds you of Shaji pappan.
