| In the summer heat, actor Sreenivasan and new boy Leo written and directed Pachamarathanalil was supposed to provide some relief to the audiences. But it turns out to be a bit boring film with a very weak climax. The trouble is that Leo is not able to mix the flow of a comedy and family sentiments into a suspense thriller. Sachinanandan (Sreenivasan) is a cartoonist living happily with his wife Anu (Padmapriya) and seven-year old daughter Sneha (Ahina), a smart kid and a child model. One day the father accompanies the daughter for an ad shoot to Chennai and for a location change they have to go from there to Pollachi. It is night journey by bus and when Sachi wakes up he finds his daughter missing! The police led by the local Circle Inspector Subramaniyan (Nassar) do not believe that Sneha could disappear into thin air. His investigation leads to startling truths – Sachi and Anu were lying, Sneha is not their child! She is the daughter of Mohammed Ali (Lal) a lorry driver and Minu (Meera Vasudev), who got separated from her during the Coimbatore bomb blast. Ali who was in jail has now taken her back, leading to a long drawn out sentimental climax. Leo does not know the art of writing an interesting script. Actually the first half is interesting with great comedy by Sooraj Venjaranmoodu and Biju Kuttan, Padmapriya has hardly anything to do, Sreenivasan is just ok as he tries to do his usual one-liners and is typecast. Baby Ahina acts smart and may become the new kid on the block. The music of Alphonse is a major plus and Manoj Pillai camera is eyecatching. At best, Pachamarathanalil is slow moving and leaves you with mixed feelings. | ||||||||||
