Disappointing. Nivin Pauly's charm nor the acclaimed Nivin Pauly-Aju Varghese chemistry isnt enough to save this amateur and clueless attempt at filmmaking. The plot is ridiculous even for a no brainer masala movie.

The best thing about comedy sitcoms is the way they portray human imperfections and negative traits of everyday people in a way that the audience can relate to, and even learn to laugh with. For years iconic characters from various shows have made us laugh even while doing terrible things, simply due to the way they keep it real and even face consequences at times all the while making us laugh and think. I cite Barney Stinson of HIMYM for example. All this is simply to point out to the makers and the viewers of this show that Bonnie Wheeler IS NOT one of them. She is tiresome and not at all lovable. Making the horrible things she does and her pathological lying come across as comedy is a far stretch. Even if it started out funny and tolerable in the earlier seasons, it wears out. When you have imperfect people doing horrible things and it still makes you laugh, you have good sitcom comedy. When you have an imperfect character doing horrible things and its not even funny, you have Bonnie Wheeler. Her character sketch is a failure for the notice of the person who wrote it. I got tired of the show because of her.

This movie is not for everyone. Please ignore the unecessarily harsh reviews below, especially the one by Miss Aishwarya. I repeat, it is not for everyone. But if you are someone who is passionate about the beautiful game, it is for you. Moreover, if you are a fan or admirer of Argentina or the magician Lionel Messi, this movie will fill your heart with joy. The ones who have given negative reviews are simply the ones that do not understand the passion and frenzy a football fan feels, especially at the time of the World Cup. Similar to Lucifer, this is a tribute film made by a fanboy director to a game, a team and man that he so admires and anyone who shares his love for the beautiful game will understand what he has conveyed through the movie. I admit, I too am a football crazed person and consider Lionel Messi as someone personally sent by God to give joy to millions like me. Therefore I am extremely grateful to the director for making this film. I personally believe that this film was made for people like me, and it has given us immense joy, so no matter what the critics say, I hope the director knows that the movie is a success. It has perfectly channeled and exhibited the emotions undergone by a die hard Argentina fan over the last few decades. It brought back to me, memories of me sitting alone with tears in my eyes as I looked at Leo stare forlornly at the trophy. Every event and character the movie shows is a reflection of ones that really exist in reality and the movie is for them. For us. So if you are one of us, do not miss out on this wonderful tribute to the beautiful game.

In Yamandan Premakadha we get to see DQ as a mellowed down version of Charlie. There are enough moments to laugh and cheer to make it a one time watch. Kunjikka is ever lovable. Great supporting cast lead by an amazing performance by Vishnu as DQ's blind best friend.

ആഷിഖ് അബു വൈൻ പോലെ ഓരോ സിനിമ ഇറങ്ങും തോറും മികവ് കൂടി കൂടി വരുന്നു. സങ്കടപെടുത്തുന്ന കാര്യം എന്താ എന്ന് വെച്ചാൽ കാണാൻ പോയപ്പോൾ തിയേറ്റർ പകുതി കാലി ആയിരുന്നു. Masterpiece കാണാൻ പോയപ്പോൾ housefull ഉം. സൂപ്പർസ്റ്റാറിന്റെ പടത്തിനു ഒത്തു ഇറങ്ങിയത് കൊണ്ട് ഈ നല്ല സിനിമ ഒരുപാട് പേർകു മിസ്സ്‌ ആകുന്നു. എനിക്ക് പറയാൻ ഉള്ളത് മാസ്റ്റർപിഎസ് പോലത്തെ തോന്യവാസം കാണാൻ പോകാണ്ട് നിങ്ങൾ ഇത് പോയി കാണൂ. മലയാളം സിനിമയുടെ ന്യൂ gen താരങ്ങളിൽ (including the director) നിങ്ങൾക്ക് അഭിമാനം തോന്നും.

INTOLERABLE... this sorry excuse of a director should not be allowed to direct any more films for the sake of cinema as well as humanity...
