Movie review by Jean
Cast: Prithviraj, Sheela, Kalabhavan Mani and others.
The creators of the mass masala movie ‘Thanthonny’ have tried their very best to copy-paste sequences of past hit films to create a potpourri. The result is a confusing mix of past and present, in other words it’s like the meeting of Usthad and Devasuram!
The movie has Prithviraj as a rebel hero, who lives in a joint patriarchal family named Valiyaveettil. Prithvi fondly called Kochukunju is the spoilt grandson of Kochousepph and only son of Kathrina, whose three brothers control the family affairs.
Prithviraj however had a mysterious past. He was thrown out of his home years ago only to return a decade later. One is lead to believe that Kochukunju is an evil sort of person, but only later come to know that in reality he is a do-gooder who holds a big secret. The audience is made aware of the secret only as the film unfolds.
Prithviraj tries hard to fit into the shoes of veteran actors like Mohanlal, even making an attempt at lighter sequences and comic dialogues. Although T A Shahid's script has some interesting dialogues interspersed in between it struggles to strike a balance between heroism and emotions.
Watch it only if you are a die-hard rebel star of Mollywood.
