Expectations

A Feel good Romantic film after a long time from Mollywood, directed by multi-talented Vineeth Sreenivasan with superb songs was bound to create expectations, especially among youngsters.

Story

It’s the Story of Vinod a Hindu, Nair who is in love with Aisha a Muslim Girl & how the society, religion etc. plays a big role in their destiny in the backdrop of Thalasseri [Kannur, Kerala]

The story of ‘Thattathin Marayathu may be simple & seen umpteen times before, but it’s the presentation that scores big time & makes this film a MUST WATCH. Full Credits to Vineeth Sreenivasan for Packaging this movie beautifully.  Very Good script, Excellent dialogues & Brilliant direction – it’s an out an out VS film.  Nivin Pauly did a terrific job as Vinod, Isha Talwar looked breath taking as Aisha. All the supporting cast also did a nice job. Songs, Camera, Background, Editing also deserves Special mention. Most of the dialogues got thunderous response from the viewers.

Youth is simply loving the movie, they will watch it at least 2 times for sure, The Word of Mouth is Excellent, could very well be the next ‘Classmates’

Positives

Vineeth Sreenivasan – The all-rounder [Direction, Script, Dialogues]

Nivin Pauly, Isha Talwar
