CHAKKARAMAAVIN KOMBATHU MOVIE FULL REVIEW
Chakkaramaavin Kombathu full movie review:-
The story of Chakkaramaavin Kombathu is based on two teenagers, Uthaman
and Jentry, who folloow Aalimammookka, a kind and helpful soul who loves the
village and village folk. Both Uthaman and Jentry have a troubled childhood,
whilst the former who comes from a very poor family aspires to enjoy luxuries,
the latter yearns for parental love. The story takes a twist when Uthaman's
father, Dasan tells him that Aalimammookka has many treasures and as Uthaman
goes in the pursuit of the treasure, a series of interesting events unfold.
The first scene shows how a visionary called Alimammuka (Joy Mathew)
often becomes a sought-after person in the village, when it comes to resolving
disputes and protecting the beautiful natural environment they dwell in. While
Harisree Asokan and Anjali Nair play Uthaman's parents, Kishore Mathew, who is
a prominent face in ads is seen making his entry into films as Jentry's father,
and actress Meera Vasudevan marks a comeback with the role of Dr Lucy, his
wife. Uthaman
(Gourav Menon) lives in a tiled house, while the family of Jentry Thomas
(Derick Rajan) dwells in a mansion. Though Uthaman's parents are not well off,
they do not plague his mind with the worries about future and about succeeding
in life. Living a luxurious life might be a distant reality for the duo, but
they look completely content with life and with whatever they have managed to
attain.
Making
good memories count for his family, rather than try to amass wealth, they are seen
indulging in banter and enjoying the simple pleasures of life like playing tug
of war, making 'Karivepila ittu pollicha meen fry ' (Fish fry using curry
leaves) and of course, lending the basic parental care to him.
Chakkaramaavin
Kombathu delves deep into the world of haves and the have nots, and also brings
to light how two kids from completely different backgrounds are united by the
rewarding childhood experiences.
His new neighbour Jenry's
parents, Dr Thomas and Dr Lucy are always preoccupied in their own world, and
fail to allot even the slightest of time to their son. Devoid of attention, he
yearns for some companionship from Uthaman, while the latter desires to get
access to a treasure one day, which Alimammuka is believed to possess. The
realisation that if he does not cross the big wall around his house, he would
be losing out on important things in life has him eventually joining hands with
Uthaman. Soon, he transcends all boundaries that the adults have created and
they strike a chord with each other. The wall reminds one of Robert Frost's
poem Mending Wall, and makes one ponder whether good fences really make good
neighbours.
Each
scene portraying the joys of life, be it hopping around with a catapult in hand
as kids, playing with a gang of children, taking a dive in the nearest water
body in the locality and aimlessly wandering in the hilly areas, is like a trip
back to the bygone era. The director has aptly infused all things nostalgic by
picturising the 'vayal' (paddy fields) and cute tiled houses and lakes, among
many other things. Bijibal's songs help provide that old-world charm, and his
song Mele Maanathu is soulful stirring indeed.
Given that this is essentially a children's film, we see actress Meera
Vasudevan making less screen presence, when compared to the kids. However, she
is convincing as the workaholic doctor and rigid parent. Anjali Nair also
renders a good performance as Uthaman's mother.
Chakkaramaavin
Kombathu also gifts the audience with realistic performances of actors such as
Indrans, Bindu Panicker and Harisree Ashokan, who are rarely seen on screen
these days.
Though Joy Mathew's character as a do-gooder comes as the glimmer of
hope for the future generations in the village, intermittent spurts of
didactism on how to save the environment, etc, seem a bit preachy at times. The
comic sequences in between by various other characters are also a bit forced
and make the film drag a bit.
The film spreads a
positive vibe as to how the young kids turn custodians of nature and keep alive
Alimammuka's dream. It is an attempt made straight from the heart but
introduction of certain characters and instances go tangential to the narrative
and further sways the audience from the real storyline.
