Chandrettan Evideya Malayalam Movie Review: Anusree is the showstopper, Namita Pramod is such a disappointment
I had no great
expectations when I went to watch Dileep’s latest movie ‘Chandrettan Evideya’
especially after reading reviews that said the film has no uniqueness and no ‘emotional’
impact. When the movie was over, I realized that the movie reviews are wrong.

The story goes like this:
An avid columnist on
classical dance forms, Chandramohan (starring Dileep) works at the legislative
assembly in Thiruvananthapuram and his wife Sushama whom he fondly calls as “Sushu”
(starring Anusree) works in Thrissur.
They are happily
married till Sushu visits a “naadijothisham” expert in Tanjore. He reveals that
her husband is likely to have a marital affair because the love of his previous
life, a famous dancer, is about to enter his life in this birth. This piece of
information rocks Sushu’s life.
Sushu, who is armed with all the instincts and
intuition of a dedicated, loving wife, tracking her husband's activities more closely to find out if he is having an affair.

Review: The Characters
Dileep does justice
to the character he portrays as “Chandramohan” and this is one of his few
movies in recent times that I enjoyed watching. But the “mental interactions”
he has with the “poet” from his previous life takes the fun out
of the plot altogether, appears forced and artificial.
The show-stopper of “Chandrettan
Evideya” is Anusree, whose first movie “Diamond Necklace” had caught my
attention - where she acted as Fahad’s wife and she did a fantastic job of it.
Mark my words,
Anusree is an actress who is going to deliver some brilliant performances in
Malayalam cinema. She has an amazing sense of timing, handles humour with
effortless ease and her dialogue delivery is excellent.
Namita Pramod is a
sensation among my friends, especially on Facebook and Twitter. As an avid
movie watcher, I have always been disappointed by Namita. In every film that I have
seen of hers, she plays ‘Namita.’ You get the feeling that she is clueless
about the character she is playing. Her dialogue delivery is artificial, her
body language is graceful but her performance is nothing worth writing about. [MOVIE REVIEW: How Namita Pramod's lack of acting is most apparent in the film 'Vikramadityan']
Chandrettan Evideya Malayalam Movie Review: The End
The story of “Chandrettan
Evideya” is nothing new but the treatment that
Sidharth Bharathan gave it has raised many eyebrows and brought many
smiles.
Sidharth Bharathan has won the hearts of many women
who probably gave him a standing ovation in their minds for the way the movie
ended.
That’s what has clinched this family-drama-comedy into a winner.
