Lalitham Sundaram is an Malayalam-language comedy-drama film directed by Madhu Warrier in his directorial debut. The film stars Biju Menon, Manju Warrier, Saiju Kurup, Deepti Sati and Anu Mohan. Manju Warrier co-produced the film with Kochumon under the banner Manju Warrier Productions.
What works
The film creates a good mood like the movie name suggests ‘Lalitham Sundaram’.
The film discusses family bonding and relationships and is eye-watering in some places.
What not works
Lalitham Sundaram puts forward the same story that has been discussed in Malayalam cinema for ages.
The narrative style was often on a serial level. The film is rich in “Nanma maram charecters” and is full of over-dramatic scenes. Actress Manju Warrier’s over-acting has been a stumbling block in many places.
Bottomline
A Feel Good Drama that offers serial quality.
