Vedikkettu reminded us of Romeo and Juliet but a far better version!
The film and characters were so fascinating that we were transported into their universe and felt the ambiance
DELICIOUS
-The innovative main cast: there was a darker lead actress, a shorter 'antagonist', and a male lover who walked differently. Brilliant π
This was a splendid way to break out from the norm, plus Chithu Shibuttan, and Shimili were relatable and convincing
-The plot was extremely rich with a variety of characters and stories. The grandma-granddaughter conversation on god's color in the opening scene adequately set the atmosphere's tone and eventually provided good morale.
We had great moments of laughter, reflection, and sensitivity:
Chithu and his friends were so hilarious enduring lots of beatings for sabotaging Shimili's marriage proposals.
The ending scenes were quite emotional and very powerful to send a message of unity to both conflicting towns. It was ingenious!
-It's always exciting to see Vishnu Unnikrishnan and he nailed the tough, rough, and aggressive personality.
Bibin and Aiswarya were charming, lovable, and so beautiful together π
The supporting cast needs to be applauded for pushing the story forward and adding sizzling and comic elements ππ½ππ½
-Spectacular fighting choreography that accentuated the messy, chaotic, and irresponsible nature of the men in both towns.
The cinematography and set design were splendid giving a real sensation of the electric environments
BLAND
---As much as the film was rich in storytelling, it was a bit hard to connect the relationships between the characters.
The directors knew who was who but they failed to easily communicate that with the audience.
Additionally, there were a few characters that crowded the script without adding much to it, e.g. The nun that Ambady liked, Shibuttan's divorced sister, and Chithu's potential brother-in-law whose segment never got followed through.
