Malarvadi Arts Club Review - Malayalam Movie Review - Lives Expectations | Malarvadi Arts Club Review - Movies 4 U | Vineeth Sreenivasan's Maiden Film Turns Unexpected Hit

Singer-Actor-Turned Writer/Director Vineeth Sreenivasan's maiden film is a must watch as the story of these five  friends Prakashan, Praveen, Purushu, Santhosh and Kuttu really rocks. Its a film which narrates the friendship between these five, it makes you remember the friends in your life, it connects to your feelings, though  not always.

The film has obviously some flaws as well. Sometimes the movie looks artificial and lacks the natural effect. 
The main problem with the film is that though music plays quite an important role in the story, it turns out to be the weakest link as well. The script never really takes the viewer along with its flow and looks fractured with cooked up situations, boring comedy and dramatic dialogues, in the absence of a solid storyline.
Of course, the film has its moments and the honesty with which the debutant director has made his film is to be seen at times. Certain scenes and the climax have evidently been inspired from the 2008 Bollywood hit, Rock On!!.
Five new faces play five friends. Together they are known as the Malarvadi pilleru. There are no huge declarations of their love and trust for each other. It is conveyed through little actions with background music to give the right effects. One of them has to go for a singing competition and on the way the jeep tyre get punctured. The other four send him to a shed while they fix the tyre. A pretty normal action, yes. But these small things which we see our friends do for us without stopping to think about the little inconveniences tie us to a bond closer than we imagine. If we stop to evaluate the friendships we hold on to dearly, none of it may have stories of deep sacrifices or teary pictures to reveal. But you know that when you are down in the dumps, they are the first to turn to.
The presence of senior actors like Jagathy Sreekumar, Nedumudi Venu, and Suraj adds to the strength of the film. If you go to the theatres not with that much expectations, it will be refreshing film for you.
One thing is clear, Vineeth Sreenivasan has a long way to go. He is a real talented singer, and now has proved his talent in driection and writing.
