Very novel for malayalam cinema.
There is plenty of good humor all through the movie. Rustic humor mostly.There were some digs at other movies too.
Soubin has performed very convincingly and has become the son. Performance reminiscent of "Sudani from Nigeria". No really challenging scenes otherwise for Soubin, but has totally become the son.
Suraj Venjaramoodu had much more scope for performance. While in general, Soubin seemed to have blended in to the character better than Suraj, there was a very challenging scene towards the end where Suraj proved his mettle. A scene that could fall into pieces without Suraj's mastery.
It was not a perfect movie. There were portions that were not convincing, inexperience was telling here and there. However, this is the kind of attempt that needs to be encouraged.
Bijibal's music did not blow my mind.
The emotional connect of technology reminded me of the movie "Her". The movie has attempted to bring technology close to the people who would typically shy away from technology, and has done a pretty good job at it. Also reminded me of "Oridathu" which spoke about how a village responds to electricity, while "Android Kunjappan" is about how a village responds to robotics.
As the movie was presenting unconvincing portions in between, I was a bit worried about how the climax would turn out. It was better than anticipated.
Slow-paced, easy watch. Very unique presentation. Definitely a laudable attempt, though not perfect.
