Maadambi is a B.Unnikrishnan film starring Bharath Mohanlal and Kavya Madhavan in lead roles. Other actors include Ajmal, Mallika, Innocent, Jagathy, Suraj, KPSC Lalitha, Saikumar etc. This was the second film of B.Unnikrishnan after Smart City which failed to click in boxoffice. Mohanlal is appearing as a moneylender Gopalakrishna Pilla in Maadambi. It was the first time that Kavya is pairing with Mohanlal.
As depicted in the caption 'a late review', I saw the film the very next day of release, from Jose Theatre, Thrissur (Later I saw the film from Melam, Shornur along with my old friends). A great crowd was in front of theatre, the queue extending to Swaraj Round. Eventhough I reached 1 hour before the show, I made sure that I would not get tickets. Fortunately, I saw my seniors of my college in front of the queue, and they arranged tickets for me.
Then about the movie, I liked the way the movie was presented. B.Unnikrishnan gets all the credit for that. He utilised the star value of Mohanlal to the core. The dialogues in the movie is another catching point. The songs are excellent especially the final song featuring his mother. The comedy sequences are also good, Suraj at his best. Innocent and Jagathy had done their roles nicely.
Ajmal was not at all impressive. He might have to learn much more to survive in this field. Mallika was ok but not great. Kavya had a short role, but Lal-Kavya combination lacks chemistry. First half was nice, but second half was little irritating (dont mean that it was too bad, i made a comparison with first half). The climax was not upto mark, as I expected something more. The story line of the film was good, but it shows some repetition of previous films like Balettan, Valsalyam etc. Speaking of story, it was an old wine in new bottle. I felt this film as a combination of Devasuram and Balettan.
Since all other releases during that season turned to be flops, Maadambi managed to have descent run in theatres, still running successfully. Maadambi can be considered as a clean family entertainer and it revived the career of Mohanlal after a series of flops. Yes, Maadambi was a real winner in boxoffice and it is expected to complete 100 days in boxoffice.
Verdict : Super Hit
Rating : 3/5
