Malarvadi Arts Club

Film review by Jean

Malarvadi Arts Club marks the directorial debut of actor-singer Vineeth Sreenivasan. In his debut film Vineeth takes us to Manassery, a small village in Kerala where five youngsters, Prakash (Nivin Pauly), Santhosh (Shraavan), Praveen (Harikrishnan), Purushu (Bhagat Manuel) and Kuttu (Aju Varghese), get ready to take the biggest leap into life.

One of the most eagerly awaited films of the year, Malarvadi Arts Club  is a predictable story of friendship between five young men, seemingly inspired from Hindi films, Farhan Akhtar's Dil Chahta Hai and Rock On.

Malarvadi Arts Club has its bit of imperfections. However the film’s music is its biggest component although it seems to score an average throughout the narration. Though one may expect moments of pure fun from the son of Sreenivasan, comedy is not a strong point of the movie. But there are satirical dialogues which reminds one of Vineeth's father.

Veteran actors like Nedumudi Venu and Jagathy Sreekumar, popular ones like Salim Kumar and Suraj Venjarumood have added to the movie’s strength. The new faces were alright; their inexperience not that evident.  Maybe it is because there were no huge expectations from this debutant director that it rose so high in the scale of the first set of people that broke out of the theatre.

Of the performers Nivin Pauly and Bhagath Manuel seemed to score pretty high on the performance chart.

Vineeth's arts club is not a perfect movie but some of the scenes you cannot be ignored.

P.Sukumar creating another good work behind camera. Renjan Abraham's editing is neat. . BG and songs by shaan rahman is not up to the mark.

Malarvady Arts Club from Vineeth Sreenivasan & friends, but fails in narration.
