Mummy & Me is the latest malayalam movie staring Kunchacko Boban, Archana Kavi, Mukesh, Lalu Alex, Urvashi, Shari, Janardhanan, Anoop Menon. and directed by Jithu Joseph.
There is a big turn in the life of malayalees as they watch malayalam tv programs every day. That is the same reason why this movie may become a success.
The film talks about the generation gap between a teenager and her mother portrayed by Archana Kavi and Urvasi, respectively.
Jewel (Archana) is frustrated with her mother Clara (Urvasi), who finds fault in everything she does and tries to control her life. This leads to friction and Joseph (Mukesh), the father, has to bear the brunt of it. His efforts to be a bridge fail most of the time.
And there is Jewel’s young brother who tries to spy on her; Rahul (Kunchako Boban), son of Joseph’s childhood friend (Lalu Alex), who acts as Jewel’s local guardian and secretly likes her. The twist in the tale comes, when the bad guys in college try to get even with Jewel and Rahul saves her.
The cast saves the movie from being a total disaster. Urvasi takes to the role as a fish would take to water. I saw one of her inerview where she speaks like a dumb girl. She has screen presence, but needs to hone down the histrionics. Kunchako Boban shaves off his moustache to look like a college student and succeeds in doing so to a large extent. Mukesh and Lalu alex are just part of the movie.
This movie is getting ample attention and is is going to be another successfull in Malayalam as the subject and the presentation is loved by the malayalee family world wide. The society is looking for such good movies rather than purely commercial cinema.
Writer-director Jeethu Joseph tries to prove his versatility with this film, but does not succeed fully as the film is very loud. It may be the title and the story line which is doing the magic.
