Oru Marubhoomi Kadha Review
by METROMATINEE
inally, after a gap of seven years, Veteran Director Priyadarshan and
superstar Mohanlal are back together
in "Arabiyum Ottakavum P.Madhavan Nairum in Oru Marubhoomi Kadha", a
light-hearted film meant to evoke non-stop laughter, mixing slapstick
comedy with amusing wisecracks from Mohanlal and Mukesh. To a large
extend, the director has succeeded in his attempt though the story
thread is very thin. Along with Mohanlal and Mukesh, others in the cast
are Lakshmi Rai, Bhavana, Suraj Venjarumoodu, Innocent, Shakti Kapoor,
Mammukoya and Lakshmi Gopalaswami.
P.Madhavan Nair (Mohanlal) is an accountant in a Gulf based firm owned
by a Sheik (Shakthi Kapoor). After years of toiling in the desert, he is
comfortably settled. Suddenly, out of nowhere, Meenakshi (Lakshmi Rai)
enters his life and after some bizarre incidents, the two get married.
But there are more weird developments and Madhavan Nair finds himself
with an old crony Abdu Kupleri (Mukesh), who had dropped in to his
office for some help. Soon the two get involved with another girl Ileana
(Bhavana) whom they found kidnapped and kept in a car parked near the
desert. What follows is a roller coaster ride by the three, full of fun
and laughter.
The movie has tried it’s best to be an out and out comedy and it has
managed to rake up laughter on quite a few occasions. The slapstick
comedy is sometimes monotonous with characters slapping each other
mechanically. Spliced here and there, there are a few smatterings of
melodrama to satisfy the pensive viewer. Sadly, those who have seen
Priyadarshan’s previous movies will be overcome with a feeling of déjà
vu, many of the scenes resembling those from his older films. But among
the new generation, the comedy and the comical and absurd verbal
exchanges between Mohanlal and Mukash will have quite a few takers.
Priyadarshan is at his best when handling comedy and he has shown his
dexterity in this film too, particularly in the first half. Bhavana’s
entry in particular will evoke riotous laughter.
The silver lining in the movie is the acting of Mohanlal and Mukesh.
Mohanlal drawing from his acting repertoire, has given an amazing and
graceful performance bringing back memories of some of his previous
flicks with Priyan. Mukesh compliments Lal with another sterling
performance. The two with their verbal wisecracks and quick repartees
provide plenty of entertainment. Bhavana and Lakshmi Rai have limited
roles which they have managed without being remarkable. Suraj
Venjaramoodu has the usual jokes while Nedumudi Venu, Shakti Kapoor and
Innocent have not been very noteworthy. Lakshmi Gopalaswamy, however,
has impressed in her brief appearance.
Priyadarshan wrote the script which is hilarious but without substance.
Azhagappan’s camera and M.J.Sreekumar’s music are impressive. Editing by
Suresh T.S. is generally sound.
A light hearted entertainer, ‘Oru Marubhumi Kadha” should be seen as
such. The movie is often inane, almost empty of any story, no message,
but to spend time away from the everyday worries and anxieties, there
may not be a better choice. The plots are absurd, the story is wafer
thin, but if you approach it with a carefree heart, you will enjoy the
movie.
Verdict: Comedy Entertainer.
