Nunakkuzhi is a Malayalam language crime comedy film directed by Jeethu Joseph and starring Basil Joseph, Grace Antony, and Siddique in the lead roles, alongside Manoj K Jayan, Binu Pappu, Baju Santhosh, Swasika, and Aju Varghese in supporting roles.
On paper, it might have stood out as a poignant moment, but an audience fed up with the parade of silliness that was the story involving the rooster would nod along in agreement with his question. Veteran filmmakers like Jeethu Joseph try to tell the stories of humans and the disappointments that arise from the lack of understanding and miscommunication. But, every time he strays into the story thread involving the rooster, which was touted as the filmβs highlight, the narrative falters and turns out to be a comedy film without even a single moment to laugh. An unbearable attempt from minimum guaranteed Jeethu Joseph. Nunakkuzhi marks the end of the taglines of Minimum Guarantee on director Jithu Joseph and actor Basil Joseph.
The primary task for the scriptwriter seems to be to find a solution to the problems and make them engaging, but the ways he devises to solve that problem succeed in putting the audience to sleep.
The music director has precisely used the lullaby sounds to get the audience to sleep by injecting background music from 1980s Hollywood comedy films. And the BGM adds more tragedy to the situation.
Grace Antony, Siddique, Baiju, Manoj K Jayan, Lena, Nikhila Vimal, etc., and the big star line-up and performances are the only relief for the audience who came to watch the movie.
BottomlineΒ
A comedy film without even a single moment to laugh. unbearable attempt from minimum guaranteed director Jeethu Joseph.
1.75/5
