ഒരു മോഹന്‍ലാല്‍  ഫിലിം എന്ന്  പറയാം
ഒരു  സൂപ്പര്‍  മൂവി  കൂടി .
തുടക്കം മുതല്‍  ഒരു  സസ്പെന്‍സ് ഉണ്ട് ....
നല്ല ഒരു സത്യന്‍ പടത്തില്‍ നിന്ന് എന്തൊക്കെ പ്രതീക്ഷിക്കാമോ അതൊക്കെ ഉള്ള ഒരു തനി നാടന്‍ സിനിമ.....
പതിവില്‍ ഉള്ളത് പോലെ സത്യന്‍-ലാല്‍ കൂട്ടുകെട്ടില്‍ പിറക്കുന്ന തമാശകള്‍ 'സ്നേഹവീടി'നെ കൂടുതല്‍ ആകര്‍ഷണീയ മാക്കുന്നു.
ലാലേട്ടന്റെ തനതായ സ്റ്റൈലില്‍ ഉള്ള ത്മസകള്‍ ഏറെ പ്രതീക്ഷ നല്‍കുന്നു....
ലാലേട്ടന്റെ കുറച്ചു ഡയലോഗുകള്‍ THEATRE പിടിച്ചു കുലുക്കി ....
ലാലേട്ടന്റെ പഴയ ഫോട്ടോ കനികുനത് ഏറെ ആവേശകര മായിരുന്നു ....
ലാലേട്ടന്റെ പ്രകടനം സൂപ്പര്‍.....സൂപ്പര്‍.....
നല്ല കോമെടികള്‍ നല്ല ബാക്ക് ഗ്രൌണ്ട് നല്ല കഥ നല്ല ഒരു സിനിമ....
സംശയികാതെ പോകു "സ്നേഹവീട്ടിലേക്ക് "

Snehaveedu Review.




"Snehaveedu", a Sathyan Anthikad directorial-Mohanlal starrer flick, which is produced by Antony Perumbavoor under the banner of Aashirvad Films. The movie enriched with veteran Sheela portraying the role of Ammukkutty Amma. Mohanlal plays the role of Ajayan, Ammukktty Amma's son. Director himself pens the script of the movie which is cinematographed by Venu. Ilayaraja handled the music department.
Once again in "Snehaveedu", Sathyan-Mohanlal combo caters with another feel-good family entertainer with a topical message. Sathyan Anthikkad , a director with the Midas touch, proves again that he is one of the best in family genre creation. And this is not because he has used a fresh or a unique story to tell but because of the way he narrates an age old tale, still holds the interest of the audience, which is an amazing quality.
"Snehaveedu" is a simple story which is a sweet and moving experience for every section of the viewers. Its certainly not the director's best film yet, but still it succeeds to unleash a refreshing charm.
The story revolves around Ajayan (Mohanlal), who, after having tried his luck in different cities around the world, comes back to his village to look after his ageing mother Ammukutty Amma (Sheela) and to get her love and the nostalgia of his growing up years. There, he starts a company for producing agricultural equipments and earns his living as a farmer. One day a boy named Karthik (Rahul Pillai) comes and meets Ajayan claiming to be his son. The effect of this incident on Ajayan's life and how he handles it forms the crux of the story.
"Snehaveedu" is a mix of melodrama and sentimentalism peppered with humour. The Sathyan Anthikkad's usual impact is there throughout. Shortly after second half and climax having suffered an immense loss to arise as per expectations. The first half is rollicking and funny and stands as main higlight of the flick. The film depicts a simple story, as it is string together by a series of incidents.
The two lead players superstar Mohanlal and veteran Sheela are in top form here. Sheela who plays Mohanlal's mother gives a splendid performance and Mohanlal too matches well. Rahul Pillai, a new face who comes with a turning point of the flick, is rated with Good performance. Padmapriya is aptly cast. Sathyan Anthikkad's usual actors Mammukoya, Innocent, KPAC Lalitha do their roles neatly. Biju Menon, Lena, Reeja, Sasi Kallinga, Praveen all have put in their best efforts to make their parts look perfect.
Sathyan Anthikad's takings strikes the right chord. His writings tries to cater to the taste of the family audience by making a sensible film. There is nothing new story wise or in presentation but it has its own unique taste. Cinematographer Venu, who is on full form with his nice visuals and fabulous frames. Ilaiyaraja's tunes are lilting to say the least.
Overall like all typical of Sathyan Anthikkad films,'Snehaveedu' has humour and pathos.
Verdict: Family Entertainer.

 Snehaveedu
 
 
Much awaited Mohanlal film 'Snehaveedu' got released on Sept 30th and as per the initial reports this new Malayalam movie directed by veteran Sathyan Anthicad has lived upto it's expectation as a clean family entertainer. This film 'Snehaveedu' produced by Antony Perumbavoor under the banner Aashirwaad Cinemas also features yesteryear heroine Sheela, Padmapriya, Biju Menon, Innocent, KPAC Lalitha etc in it.

Just like each and every Sathyan Anthicad movie, this new film 'Snehaveedu' too deals with the emotions, happiness etc of a common man in his day to day life. This film is all about Ajayan (Mohanlal), who has now settled in his native place after returning from Gulf and he is now leading a calm and peace life with his mother Ammukuttiyamma (Sheela). As the story progressess, a boy named Karthik (a debutant boy, Rahul Pillai) enters claiming that Ajayan is his father and the rest forms the crux of the story.

As expected, this new Sathyan Anthicad-Mohanlal film doesn't feature any twist or surprise in it, as the film ends in the most simple way that one can predict. But the major highlight of this film happens to be the return of the cute, lovable Mohanlal and his trademark common man mannerisms from the past. This film has a lot of hillarious funny moments in it (that too, far better than the 'double-meaning' comedies from the recent releases) and a bit of emotional sequences as well.

In the technical side, director Sathyan Anthicad, who is also the script writer for this film has delivered the right film, that a normal viewer expects from him. Some may say that, Sathyan is delivering his old wine with a brand new name but it should be noted that his each and every film is eagerly awaited by the family audience since it provides the much required gurantee, that it will be a clean family movie. Venu's cinematography is the other field that requires a mention here. Venu helped Sathyan to potray his simple story in the most beautiful way it can. Illayaraja's music as well as back ground score were just ok, but much more was expected from his standards.

In the acting side, everyone has excelled in their own way. Nothing much to talk about Mohanlal since it's a very well known fact that whatever role it is, he will just be awesome. Other lead actor, Sheela too was great to watch and the chemistry between Mohanlal and Sheela is really an eye catching one. Others like Padmapriya, Biju Menon, Innocent, KPAC Lalitha etc don't have enough space to perform, but have done it perfectly within the limitations. Surprisingly, the debutant boy, Rahul have performed very much above than what it is expected from him and he is a star in the making for sure.

All in all, this new Malayalam movie 'Snehaveedu' is a perfect Sathyan Anthicad movie, that will surely work big time with the family audiences. I prefer you to watch this movie, since it is a clean family entertainer in Malayalam, after a very long time.
Top Class Movie
