Nalla Pattukare - Pathetic! | Nalla Pattukare Malayalam Movie Review

I simply wish Najeem Arshad had declined this offer to act. He's a young singer whom I have always admired, but to see him being relegated to an insipid role of a rich brat moving around pawing girls in 'Nalla Paattukare', was nothing but offensive.

The grave error that this film commits to those who have watched ISS is that you get to see those gifted singers whom you thought had oodles of talent move around like androids uttering unimaginably ridiculous dialogues. Imran cashes in on his weight for the role and they throw in an elephant on screen every time he walks in, for that extra effect.

Sannidanandan makes an appearance quite early in the film and as Santhanam, a reality show contestant reveals a tragic life tale that has everyone but the viewers in tears. Vijay Madhav has a sob story as well, and so do most of the other top contestants. The singer moms, they say, can be quite bad, and would see to it that their kids walk into those one crore flats, no matter what.

To be fair to the makers. there is nothing similar between the original reality show and the one in 'Nalla Paattukare'. For one, the set looks like a shady joint, and the audience of the show looks like they have been brought there on gun point. And guess what? Irrespective of whoever is performing, you see all of them singing and dancing on stage. This is applicable to the final as well, when one contestant starts singing and all the other finalists join her on stage, chipping in their bits to the song.
