ஓடிடி திரை அலசல் | Padmini - ‘விவகார’ விவாகரத்து வழக்கும், சில ‘சம்பவங்களும்’!

கறுப்புத் திரை. அதற்குப் பின்னால் சமூகத்தின் வெவ்வேறு வகையறா மனிதர்களின் குரல்கள் ஒவ்வொன்றாக ஒலிக்கின்றன. அவர்களுக்கென தனி முகங்கள் கிடையாது. பிரத்யேக பெயர்கள் கிடையாது. இங்கே நடக்கும் அன்றாட திருமணங்களில் பங்கேற்கும் அதே நான்கு பேர்தான் அவர்கள்!. ‘ரமேஷன் இன்னும் நல்ல பொண்ணா பாத்துருக்கலாம்’, ‘நகை ரொம்ப கம்மி’, ‘சாப்பாட்டுல உப்பில்ல’, ‘மண்டபம் சரியில்ல’, ‘பொண்ணு என்ன இப்படி இருக்கு’... இப்படியான பேச்சின் மூலம் வன்மம் கக்கும் சோகால்டு சொசைட்டியின் வழியே படத்தின் தொடக்கத்திலேயே அழுத்தமான கதைக்கான முன்னோட்டத்தைக் கொண்டு படத்தை அழகாக தொடங்குகிறார் இயக்குநர் சென்னா ஹெக்டே.

மேற்கண்ட திருமணம் ரமேஷனுக்கும் (குஞ்சாக்கோ போபன்), ஸ்மிருதிக்கும் (வின்சி அலோஷியஸ்) நடக்கிறது. ரமேஷனை பொறுத்தவரை கல்லூரி விரிவுரையாளர். கூடுதலாக கவிஞர். திருமணம் முடிந்த முதல் நாள் இரவில் மனைவி ஸ்மிருதி தனது காதலனுடன் சென்றுவிடுகிறார். அவர் செல்லும் காரின் மாடல் பெயர் ‘பத்மினி’. 70-கள் தொடங்கி 90-கள் வரை பிரபலமாக இருந்த கார். மனைவி பிரிந்து போன அதிர்ச்சியிலிருக்கும் ரமேஷனை ஊர் மக்கள் கலாய்த்து கிண்டல் செய்கின்றனர். மீண்டுமொரு பெண் பார்க்கும் படலத்தை அவர் தொடங்க, அதுவும் கைகூடாமல் தவிக்கிறார்.

இந்தச் சூழலில் கல்லூரியில் புதிய விரைவுரையாளராக வந்து சேரும் பத்மினிக்கும் (மடோனா செபாஸ்டின்) ரமேஷனுக்கும் இடையே காதல் மலர்கிறது. ஆனால், பத்மினியை திருமணம் செய்துகொள்ள, தனது ஒருநாள் மனைவியிடமிருந்து ரமேஷன் சட்டரீதியாக விவாகரத்து பெற்றாக வேண்டிய கட்டாயம் ஏற்படுகிறது. இந்தப் பிரச்சினை எப்படி அணுகப்படுகிறது, பத்மினியை அவர் திருமணம் செய்தாரா, இல்லையா என்பது தான் படத்தின் திரைக்கதை. படம் நெட்ஃப்ளிக்ஸ் ஓடிடி தளத்தில் காணக் கிடைக்கிறது.

திருமணத்தைச் சுற்றி நிகழும் சம்பவங்களையும், கடைசி நேரத்தில் அது கைகூடாமல் போகும்போது ஏற்படும் தனிநபரின் உளவியல் சிக்கல்களையும் ஒரே நேர்கோட்டில் பார்வையாளர்கள் எளிதில் கனெக்ட் செய்துகொள்ளும் வகையில் எழுதியிருக்கிறார் தீபு பிரதீப். சென்னா ஹெக்டேவின் இயக்கம் அந்த எழுத்துக்கு உறுதுணையாக நிற்கிறது. மற்றவர்களின் வாழ்க்கையில் அதீத அக்கறைகொள்ளும் பொதுச் சமூகம், திருமண முறிவை மனதளவில் எதிர்கொள்ள போராடும் குஞ்சாக்கோ போபனை கொத்தி தின்கிறது; எள்ளி நகையாடுகிறது.

மனைவி ‘பத்மினி’ காரில் காதலனுடன் சென்றதால் ‘பத்மினி’ என நகைப்புக்குள்ளாகும் குஞ்சாக்கோ அந்த உணர்ச்சிகளையும், சொல்லமுடியாத சோகத்தையும் அழகாக வெளிப்படுத்தியிருக்கிறார். நம் கூட்டத்திலிருக்கும் ஒருவரைப்போல எளிதாக அவரை கனெக்ட் செய்துகொள்ள முடிகிறது. சீரியஸான இந்தப் பிரச்சினையை ஜாலியாகவே கடத்த முயன்றியிருக்கிறார் இயக்குநர். அதனால் பெரிய அளவில் போர் அடிக்காத திரைக்கதை காட்சிகளை கடக்க துணைபுரிகிறது. மைத்துனனாக வரும் ஆனந்த் மன்மதன் கதாபாத்திரம் காமெடிக்கு உதவுகிறது.

குஞ்சாக்கோ போபனைப்போல அபர்ணா பாலமுரளி. 30+ வயதைக் கடந்தும் திருமணமாகாத முதிர் கன்னி. இருப்பினும் வழக்கறிஞராக தன் சொந்த உழைப்பில் வாழும் பெண். இப்படியான ஒரு கதாபாத்திரத்துக்கு அப்படியே நேரெதிரான ஆணாதிக்க மனநிலை கொண்ட சஜின் செருக்காயிலை காதலனாக்கியது சுவாரஸ்யத்தை கூட்டுகிறது. இந்த இரண்டு குணாதிசய முரண் கதாபாத்திர ஜோடிக்கான உரையாடல்கள் கவனம் பெறுகிறது. ‘அக்கறை’ என்ற பெயரில் பெண்களை கட்டுப்படுத்தும் சஜின் கதாபாத்திரம் ஜாலியாக எழுத்தப்பட்ட விதம் ரசிக்க வைக்கிறது. குறிப்பாக விளம்பரக் காட்சி ஒன்று இடைவேளையிலும், க்ளைமாக்ஸிலும் பொருத்திய விதம் புது அனுபவம்.

மடோனா செபாஸ்டியன் கல்லூரி விரைவுரையாளராக ஆரம்பத்தில் ஈர்க்கிறார். அவருக்கும் குஞ்சாக்கோவுக்குமிடையிலான காதலின் தொடக்க புள்ளியும் பாடலும் பொறுமையாக நகரும் திரைக்கதைக்கு அழகூட்டுக்கின்றன. இருப்பினும் இன்னும் கூட மடோனா கதாபாத்திரத்துக்கு வெயிட் கூட்டியிருக்கலாம். ஒரு கட்டத்தில் குஞ்சாகோபோபன் - அபர்ணா இருவரும் சேர்ந்து காட்சிகளில் ஸ்கோர் செய்கின்றனர். குஞ்சாக்கோவின் மனைவியாக வின்சி அலோஷியஸ் சிறிது நேரமே வந்து சென்றாலும் திரையில் அட்டகாசம் செய்து கவர்கிறார்.

பின்னணி இசை மூலம் கதைக்கு தேவையான பங்களிப்பு சிறப்பாகவே செய்திருக்கிறார் ஜேக்ஸ் பிஜாய். பாலக்காட்டின் கிராமப் பகுதிகளில் நிகழும் கதையை வெப்பத்தையும், குளிரையும் சரிவிகித்தத்தில் கலந்து திரைப் பரிமாற்றம் செய்திருக்கிறார் ஒளிப்பதிவாளர் ஸ்ரீராஜ் ரவீசந்திரன். படம் இறுதிக்கட்டத்தை நெருங்கும்போது வரும் வைடு ஆங்கிள் ஷாட் ரசிக்க வைக்கிறது.

மொத்தமாக விதிக்கப்பட்டு விலகிச் செல்லும் திருமணங்களையும், பிடித்தவர்களை தேர்வு செய்வதற்கான தேவையையும் ஜாலியாக பேசுகிறது ‘பத்மினி’. மேலும் விவாகாரத்தை ‘நார்மலைஸ்’ செய்ய சொல்லும் இப்படைப்பு, வாய்க்கு வந்ததை பேசும் சமூகத்தையும் சேர்த்து எள்ளி நகையாடுகிறது.

தயாரிப்பு : லிட்டில் பிக் பிலிம்ஸ் இயக்கம் : சென்னா ஹெக்டே இசை : ஜேக்ஸ் பிஜாய் நடிகர்கள் : குஞ்சாக்கோ போபன், மடோனா செபாஸ்டியன், அபர்ணா பாலமுரளி மற்றும் பலர் வெளியான தேதி : 14 ஜூலை 2023 நேரம் : 2 மணி 15 நிமிடங்கள் ரேட்டிங் : 2.5/5 கிராமத்து பள்ளிக்கூடம் ஒன்றில் மலையாள ஆசிரியராக வேலை பார்க்கிறார் குஞ்சாக்கோ போபன். திருமணமான நாளன்று இரவே அவரது மணப்பெண் அவரை தந்திரமாக ஏமாற்றிவிட்டு தனது காதலனுடன் தப்பித்து செல்கிறார். இதனால் ஆரம்பத்தில் விரக்தி அடைந்தாலும் பின்னர் தனக்கான இன்னொரு பெண்ணை தேட ஆரம்பிக்கிறார் குஞ்சாக்கோ. ஊரில் பலரும் இவரை பத்மினி என்கிற பெயரில் கிண்டல் செய்வதால் அப்படி அழைப்பவர்களை போட்டு புரட்டி எடுத்து விடுவார். இந்த நிலையில் குடும்ப நீதிமன்ற வழக்கறிஞரான அபர்ணா பாலமுரளியை பெண்பார்க்க செல்லும்போது அவரது வீட்டில் பிரீமியர் பத்மினி கார் இருப்பதை பார்த்து கோபமாகி இந்தப்பெண் வேண்டாம் என கூறிவிட்டு வருகிறார். அதேபோல பள்ளியில் புதிதாக கணக்கு ஆசிரியையாக பணியில் சேரும் மடோனா செபாஸ்டியனின் பெயர் கூட பத்மினி என்பதால் அவரிடமும் பாராமுகம் காட்டுகிறார். ஆனால் மடோனாவே, குஞ்சாக்கோ போபனிடம் இருக்கும் தாழ்வு மனப்பான்மையை அகற்றிவிட்டு நட்பாகி, ஒரு கட்டத்தில் நாம் இருவரும் திருமணம் செய்து கொள்ளலாம் என்கிறார்.

அதற்கு மடோனாவின் குடும்பத்தில் உள்ளவர்கள் சம்மதம் தெரிவித்தாலும் மடோனாவின் தாய் மாமா ஏற்கனவே குஞ்சாக்கோவுக்கு நடைபெற்ற திருமண பதிவை ரத்து செய்துவிட்டு வாருங்கள் உங்கள் திருமணத்தை நடத்தி வைக்கிறேன் என்கிறார். இது குறித்து விவாகரத்து வழக்கிற்கு விண்ணப்பிக்க வழக்கறிஞரான அபர்ணா பாலமுரளியின் உதவியை நாடுகிறார் குஞ்சாக்கோ நீதிமன்றம் ஓடிப்போன அவரது மனைவியை அழைத்து வரச் சொல்கிறது. ஓடிப்போன பெண் எங்கே இருக்கிறார் என தெரியாத நிலையில் அவரைத் கண்டுபிடித்து குஞ்சாக்கோ போபன் விவாகரத்து பெற்றாரா ? மடோனாவை கைப்பிடித்தாரா ? இதில் அபர்ணாவின் பங்கு என்ன என்பது மீதிக்கதை. குஞ்சாக்கோ போபன் வழக்கம்போல அலட்டல் இல்லாத நடிப்பில் ஸ்கோர் பண்ணுகிறார். முதலிரவன்று தான் திருமணம் செய்த பெண்ணிடம் அவர் ஏமாறுவது சரியான காமெடி. பத்மினி என்கிற பெயரில் தன்னை கிண்டல் பண்ணும்போது அவருக்கு வரும் கோபத்தை அழகாக வெளிப்படுத்தி உள்ளார். அதன் விளைவுகளும் கலாட்டாவாகவே காட்சிப்படுத்தப்பட்டுள்ளன. வழக்கறிஞராக வரும் அபர்ணா கோபிநாத் படபட பட்டாசாக பொரிகிறார். ஆரம்பத்தில் துடுக்குத்தனமான பெண்ணாக தன்னை காட்டிக் கொண்டாலும் போகப்போக வருங்கால கணவன் என்கிற ஒரு சந்தேகப் பேர்வழியிடம் தான் சிக்கிக்கொண்டு படும் அவஸ்தைகளையும் அழகாக வெளிப்படுத்தியுள்ளார். குஞ்சாக்கோவுக்கு தன்னம்பிக்கை தந்து உற்சாகப்படுத்தும் ஒரு கதாபாத்திரமாக அறிமுகமாகும் மடோனா செபாஸ்டியன் போகப்போக குடும்பத்தின் நெருக்கடி காரணமாக முடிவெடுக்க வேண்டிய சூழலுக்கு தள்ளப்படுவதை மிகச்சரியாக பிரதிபலித்துள்ளார். ஓடிப்போன மணப்பெண்ணாக ஆரம்பத்தில் சில நிமிட காட்சிகளே வந்தாலும் கலகலப்பூட்டும் வின்சி அலோசியஸ், கிளைமாக்ஸுக்கு சற்று முன்னதாக மீண்டும் அதிரடி என்ட்ரி கொடுத்து நகைச்சுவைக்கு உத்தரவாதம் தருகிறார். ஒரே ஒரு காட்சியில் வந்தாலும் நடிகை மாளவிகா மேனன் ஆரம்பத்தில் குஞ்சாக்கோவுக்கு எதிர்பாராத அதிர்ச்சி ஒன்றை கொடுத்துவிட்டு செல்கிறார். இது தவிர சந்தேகப் பேர்வழியாக நடித்துள்ள சஜின் செருகயில் தன் பங்கிற்கு கலகலப்பூட்டுகிறார். மடோனாவின் தாய்மாமா. குஞ்சாக்கோவின் நண்பர் என இன்னும் சில கதாபாத்திரங்களும் நேர்த்தியாக வடிவமைக்கப்பட்டுள்ளன. ஸ்ரீராஜ் ரவீந்திரன் ஒளிப்பதிவு கிராமத்து குளுமையை அழகாக திரையில் கொண்டு வந்துள்ளது. ஜேக்ஸ் பிஜாயின் பாடல்களும் பின்னணி இசையும் இந்த படத்திற்கு தேவையான பணியை மட்டும் செய்துள்ளது. சிம்பிளான ஒரு கதை தான்.. ஆனாலும் அதை எந்தவித தொய்வும் இல்லாமல் நகைச்சுவையாக நகர்த்திக் கொண்டு சென்றுள்ளார் இயக்குனர் சென்னா ஹெக்டே. இடைவேளையில் வரும் ட்விஸ்ட் எதிர்பாராதது என்றாலும் கிளைமாக்ஸ் இப்படித்தான் முடியும் என முன்பே நம்மால் யூகிக்க முடிகிறது. படம் சற்றே மெதுவாக நகர்வது ஒன்று மட்டும் தான் குறையாக தெரிகிறது. மற்றபடி இது ஒரு ஜாலியான பொழுதுபோக்கு படம் தான். பத்மினி : கலாட்டா கல்யாணம்

Padmini movie review: This Kunchacko Boban film had the potential to scale heights, but it chose not to

Despite starting off strongly, padmini, helmed by senna hegde and starring kunchacko boban, aparna balamurali, madonna sebastian and vincy aloshious in the lead roles, descends into a disappointingly convenient ending..

Kunchacko Boban’s presence in a romantic film has the magical ability to transport Malayalees back to their youthful days, immersing them in a whirlwind of love. While some may find the comparison a bit exaggerated, a deeper reflection reveals that the actor holds a similar position in Malayalam romantic cinema as Shah Rukh Khan does in Bollywood. Both of them have aged gracefully and despite their numerous appearances in such movies, fans always crave more.

Consequently, Kunchacko ‘s arrival with a romance film, after a considerable period of time, stirred up enough anticipation to maintain the excitement surrounding Padmini. The hype escalated further when news spread that the film was being directed by none other than Senna Hegde , renowned for making the groundbreaking Thinkalazhcha Nishchayam (2021). But, did it meet the expectations? Let’s see…

Without wasting any time, Padmini skillfully immerses the audience into its narrative, even before introducing the characters. While displaying the names of the crew members on-screen, the viewers are greeted with background dialogues from various characters discussing Rameshan’s wedding. Soon, we are introduced to Rameshan (Kunchacko Boban), a college lecturer-cum-poet, who just tied the knot with Smrithy (Vincy Aloshious), and they are preparing for their first night together. However, tragedy strikes when Smrithy elopes with her boyfriend on the very same night, leaving Rameshan as a silent witness to the event.

Without delay, we are transported two years into the future, where Rameshan continues to remain unmarried despite his strong desire to find a life partner. He resides with his mother (Seema G Nair) and brother (Ganapathi). Rameshan embarks on a quest for a bride with the assistance of his friend (Anand Manmadhan). His efforts lead him to meet Sreedevi (Aparna Balamurali). However, due to unforeseen circumstances, their connection fails to take off. It is during this time that Rameshan crosses paths with Padmini (Madonna Sebastian), a guest lecturer who recently joined his college. Love blossoms between them, and they decide to get married. However, as they proceed with their plans, another significant obstacle arises, causing a fresh dilemma for Rameshan. The remainder of the film revolves around Rameshan’s journey to disentangle himself from this newfound challenge.

Right from the start, Padmini consistently delivers plenty of laughter-inducing moments in a manner that reflects Senna Hegde’s naturalistic style, without forcing the jokes into the storyline. By skillfully utilising situations that naturally arise within the narrative and incorporating humour that aligns with these scenarios, Padmini maintains an authentic approach without deviating from its intended path.

In Padmini, despite featuring a star-studded cast, which differs from Senna’s previous works, the director has intentionally avoided incorporating elements that align with the established image of these talented actors. Even in the case of Kunchacko Boban, while effectively leveraging his romantic hero persona, the maker has tried to not include too many nostalgic reminders of the thespian’s past movies, though there are a few in that regard. The director has also skillfully ensured that the scenes in Padmini possess a refreshing quality, distinct from the usual tropes found in Malayalam romantic comedies.

While Deepu Pradeep’s script in Padmini offers ample moments to tickle the viewers’ funny bones and provides an enjoyable viewing experience, the narrative, unfortunately, falters towards the end, concluding abruptly. Despite the buildup towards a potentially intriguing climax, the film’s conclusion evokes a strong sense of déjà vu, reminiscent of Senna’s Thinkalazhcha Nishchayam, but not in a nostalgic manner. Instead, it feels more like a low-quality remake of the same. 

Furthermore, although the narrative skillfully depicts all characters as equally petty and desperate, the portrayal of women in Padmini, particularly those with brief appearances, aligns with the stereotype of women being nosy. This could have been easily avoided since these characters contribute nothing significant to the overall story. Additionally, a dialogue spoken by one of the characters that states, “ Ith chayakkada alla, paippin chuvadu aanu (This is not a tea shop, this looks like the surrounding of a public tap),” reeks of misogyny and elitism. If the filmmakers had exercised more caution and refrained from including such unnecessary moments and seemingly harmless quips, Padmini would have shone brighter despite its disappointing descent towards the end.

On the performance front, Kunchacko Boban undeniably steals hearts with his overwhelming cuteness and the way he handles humour with subtlety and composure. This is a notable contrast to his previous over-the-top comedic performances in films like Mallu Singh, Three Kings, and 101 Weddings, demonstrating his growth as an actor in every aspect. Simultaneously, he seldom compromises on effectively portraying the emotional turmoil experienced by his character.

However, it is Sajin Cherukayil’s portrayal of the extremely possessive yet foolish “Raareeram” Jayan that lingers in the minds of viewers even after the film ends. His ability to navigate comedy, seamlessly transitioning between natural and exaggerated depictions as required, continues to impress. Likewise, Vincy Aloshious’ performance as Smrithy shines despite her limited screen time, leaving a strong impression. Anand Manmadhan also delivers a commendable performance, showcasing his value as a supporting actor with his effortless portrayal. Aparna Balamurali excels in her role as the ultra-romantic family lawyer, showcasing her talent. However, unfortunately, Madonna Sebastian fails to make an impression here.

While cinematographer Sreeraj Raveendran has done a commendable job, despite limited opportunities to showcase the full range of a DOP’s skills, editor Manu Antony also deserves praise for his contribution. However, it is music director Jakes Bejoy who stands out among the technicians, hitting it out of the park with his captivating tracks that seamlessly align with the film’s narrative and bring a refreshing quality to it.

In short, While Padmini had the potential to be a soothing and feel-good romantic comedy, the film, which started off strongly, unfortunately, descends into a disappointingly convenient ending, preventing it from reaching its full potential and soaring to greater heights.

Padmini movie cast: Kunchacko Boban, Aparna Balamurali, Madonna Sebastian, Vincy Aloshious, Sajin Cherukayil, Anand Manmadhan Padmini movie director: Senna Hegde Padmini movie rating: 3 stars

'Padmini' review: Senna Hegde delivers yet another light-hearted, innovative film

Senna Hegde, the director of 'Thinkalazhcha Nishchayam', has again delivered a film that is nearly as smooth and innovative as his critically-acclaimed work. 'Padmini' starring Kunchacko Boban, Aparna Balamurali and Madonna Sebastian in the lead, is a fun-filled tale of Rameshan who is jilted by his bride Smrithi on their first night together. Since Smrithi's lover arrives in a Premier Padmini car to elope with her, Rameshan earns the nickname Padmini in his village The taunts subsequently lead to a deep aversion to that name. However, things turn amusing when a teacher named Padmini (played by Madonna) arrives at the same school where he works.

Senna's works, including the 2022 film '1744 White Alto', have a quirkiness that is quite amusing. It's interesting to see how he weaves a narrative from an ordinary setting, which is centered on typical human behaviour and feelings. If elopement amid a wedding function was the theme of 'Thinkalazhcha Nishchayam', '1744 White Alto' had yet another interesting premise, that of a cat-and-mouse investigation involving a man and a car.

'Padmini' too appears as an ordinary feel-good movie, set in a village with the protagonist Rameshan hoping to settle down with a girl who understands him. However, scriptwriter Deepu Pradeep, whose initial work was 'Kunjiramayanam', does a wonderful job exploiting this situation, especially since Rameshan finds it hard to find a bride as it is his second marriage.

Kunchacko Boban, Aparna Balamurali roped in for 'Thinkalazhcha Nischayam' director’s next

Senna Hegde’s next ‘Padmini’ based on a marriage, again? See teaser

The humour initially seems a little silly, especially when Sajin Cherukayil's character Jayan, an entrepreneur who sells mattresses for a living, comes in. However, it soon turns entertaining with each scene complementing the other. Some might wish the climax ended differently, but given that it is an out-and-out entertainer, the quirky ending is fine.

It is also interesting to see how Senna brought in the two elements – a marriage and a car – that were part of his first and second film in 'Padmini'.

The performances of all the actors are quite good, but it is Aparna who steals the show. Her character Sreedevi is a lawyer who deals with divorce cases. Her expressions of disbelief, anger and cuteness are spot on. It's good to see her handle comedy, which was missing from her recent characters. Kunchacko, retains that charm he always exhibits when he plays a romantic guy. Madonna looks refreshing onscreen, adding charm to the whole movie. Though Vincy Aloshious has very little screen-space, she does justice to her role.

Some of the frames by Sreeraj Raveendran are breathtaking, capturing the beauty of the lush paddy fields and surrounding hills the film is set in. The music by Jakes Bejoy goes along with the mood of the film.

Padmini Malayalam Movie

Names have relevance in this comedy drama that has adequate potential for burgeoning in various directions. 'Padmini,' also attributed to the car brand in the film, begins the ride by exposing the typical follies and absurd practices in making a marriage fruitful. Senna Hegde-directed film holds a mirror to the vital role of volatile personal choices in materialising nuptial relationships. The director of 'Thinkalazhcha Nishchayam' once again banks on the intricacies of getting married and the dilemma of individuals when traditions and law act as stumbling blocks to their plans.

Intended to be a humorous take on the system of marriage, 'Padmini' accelerates well in the beginning and the ride is progressing smoothly. It relates the dilemma of a poet and Malayalam lecturer whose marriage lands him in a soup. On his wedding day, Ramesan, played by (Kunchako Boban), helplessly witnesses the elopement of his wife Smrithy (Vincy Aloshious) with her lover Siju (Althaf Salim) in a Padmini car in the wee hours of night. This riveting scenario is a perfect premise for the film, giving an impetus to the expectations about the upcoming events in the life of Ramesan. In fact, scenarist Deepu Pradeep of 'Kunhiramayanam' fame falls in the complacency mode while lending creative wings to the promising start in his screenplay and Hegde shifts his narration to a lethargic pattern by letting things go out of his hands.

Ramesan gets the nickname 'Padmini' in his village after his tragically-culminated marriage and he becomes an object of mockery even after two years of that incident. He even hates to see the Padmini car when he bumps into it in front of lawyer Sreedevi's (Aparna Balamurali) house during his first meeting with her. Meanwhile, Ramesan's inferiority aggravates when a guest lecturer named Padmini (Madonna Sebastian) joins the college. This juncture really sets the plot to another level as Ramesan faces a new dilemma in college. By this time, the connection established by director Hegde among all major characters creates a new impression. The hopes of viewers shine at the pinnacle of conflict when the hero gets ready for another marriage, resulting in cropping up of another issue in his life.

In another track of the plot, mattress company owner Jayan (Sajin Cherukayil) and Sreedevi decide to marry even as the latter is quite often annoyed by the possessive attitude of the former. Jayan also exudes shades of patriarchal dominance which is well defended by Sreedevi. With the entry of Jayan, the movie's humour aspect thrives but when he goes overboard in a few situations, it really affects the flow of narration.

Inclusion of the advertisement of Jayan's mattress in the name of novelty at the interval and climax portions really plays spoilsport as far as 'Padmini' is concerned. An unbridled approach by the director in handling the character amplifies the downfall of the film, coupled with a frivolous climax.

Finding an apt life partner appears to be a conflict here and the intended humour hardly blends with the theme consistently. Kunchako with a grave appearance rightly immerses into the depth of the character. Perhaps, Ramesan is the sole striking character who undergoes various emotional layers in the film. While the actor exudes well the mental dilemma of the protagonist, the performances of the rest of the cast appear to be mediocre. Overall, the comedy drama achieves a good start and carries on the momentum to an extent before breaking down due to slipshod writing and execution.

Padmini review: Senna Hegde’s latest outing makes you laugh and also think

The director conveys a layered story in a subtle way while focusing on the pressure faced by women in marriage.

A laugh riot!

• Runtime: 2 hours 35 minutes

Expectations ran high for Padmini when director Senna Hegde announced the movie.

The director earlier helmed critically-acclaimed films like Thinkalazhcha Nishchayam (2021) and 1744 White Alto (2022). This time, he came up with a movie that starred a bunch of young actors. Also, he came out of Kanhangad in Kasaragod where his movies are usually set.

Padmini is shot in Palakkad district and is Kunchacko Boban’s first solo-hero movie after his appearance in 2018 (2023) and Pakalum Pathiravum (2023).

Senna Hegde’s signature comedy is the highlight of the flick.

Padmini starts with the marriage of Rameshan (Kunchacko Boban), a poet and college professor. On his first night, his wife Smrithi (Vincy Aloshious) elopes with her lover in the latter’s Premier Padmini car.

After that shocking incident, Rameshan is teased by the people of his village for his embarrassing situation.

Also, he is called “Padmini” Rameshan by his neighbours and villagers.

Interestingly, a new professor named Padmini (Madonna Sebastian) joins his college. Rameshan falls in love with her.

But he can’t legally marry her as his first marriage with Smirthi has been registered. so, he files for a divorce.

The subsequent events after he files for divorce keep the story moving forward.

At the same time, there is a love story between Sreedevi (Aparna Balamurali) and Jayan (Sajin Cherukayil). Sreedevi is an advocate in the family court and Rameshan hires her for his case.

As the story progresses, Sreedevi’s family also plays an important role in the story.

Meanwhile, Padmini faces many troubles from her family who isn’t happy with her decision to marry Rameshan who, in turn, is unable to get a divorce due to the court proceedings.

Interesting twists.

The plot has many interesting twists — at the beginning, in the middle of the story when Rameshan feels love towards his neighbour but gets a shocker (which if revealed now would be a spoiler), and then in the climax part.

The relationship between Jayan and Sreedevi offers us some funny moments.

Jayan is an entrepreneur who is into the production of mattresses. He is portrayed as a man who likes to flaunt his money.

Sreedevi is quite aware that he is a male chauvinist and doesn’t like her working as an advocate, particularly after their marriage.

She initially doesn’t care about this but after a point, she takes her stand and concentrates on her profession deeply.

Fun elements

Comedy is the major highlight of Padmini .

Senna Hegde tries to convey a layered story that narrates the feelings of a youngster who faces embarrassing statements from his neighbours after his wife elopes.

There are some refreshing elements like the advertisement of the mattress firm owned by Jayan that erupts huge laughter among the audience in the theatre.

The movie also highlights the pressure faced by women in marriage.

Interestingly, writer Deepu Pradeep discussed marriage and related fun in the hit comedy film Kunjiramayanam (2015).

Also, in Thinkalazhcha Nishchayam , Senna Hegde dealt with a similar theme of marriage and elopement. But Padmini works since it’s refreshing.

Subtle performances.

Padmini’s script gives importance to all the characters and the director gives equal space to every actor.

Kunchacko Boban is noteworthy as Rameshan. For a senior actor who has been in the industry for more than 25 years, Kunchacko delivers a subtle performance and wins our hearts.

Vincy Aloshious is fabulous and her comedy scenes are well-appreciated in the theatre.

Aparna Balamurali and Sajin Cherukayil are a fun to watch.

Both Aparna and Vincy Aloshious are a laugh riot on screen. While watching them, we can’t help but draw references to some of the senior actresses like Urvashi who excelled in comic roles.

Sajin Cherukayil as the male chauvinist is notable. He gets on our nerves with his foolishness on many occasions.

Madonna Sebastian is decent in the title role of Padmini.

Anand Manmadhan as Venu, the brother-in-law of Rameshan, is good in comedy sequences.

Ganapathi, as Rameshan’s younger brother, plays a meaningful role.

The songs composed by Jakes Bejoy are apt and elevate the story.

Padmini is a fun ride with a thought-provoking theme of marriage and elopement. It is a clean entertainer with a good dose of comedy and songs.

Padmini Review: ప్రేమించిన వాడితో భార్య వెళ్లిపోతే..? ‘పద్మిని’ మూవీ ఎలా ఉందంటే?

కున్‌చకో బొబన్‌ హీరోగా సెన్నా హెగ్డే తెరకెక్కించిన చిత్రం ‘పద్మిని’. ఈ సినిమా ఓటీటీ ‘నెట్‌ఫ్లిక్స్‌’లో స్ట్రీమింగ్‌ అవుతోంది. రివ్యూపై ఓ లుక్కేయండి..

చిత్రం:  పద్మిని; తారాగణం: కున్‌చ‌కో బొబన్‌, అప‌ర్ణా బాల‌ముర‌ళి, మడోన్నా సెబాస్టియన్‌,విన్సీ అలోషియస్‌, మాళవిక మేనన్‌, సజిన్‌ తదితరులు; మ్యూజిక్‌: జేక్స్‌ బెజోయ్‌; ఎడిటర్‌: మను ఆంటోనీ; సినిమాటోగ్రఫీ: శ్రీరాజ్‌ రవీంద్రన్‌; నిర్మాణ సంస్థ: లిటిల్‌ బిగ్‌ ఫిల్మ్స్‌; స్టోరీ: దీపు ప్రదీప్‌; డైరెక్షన్: సెన్నా హెగ్డే; ఓటీటీ ప్లాట్‌ఫామ్‌: నెట్‌ఫ్లిక్స్‌.

కున్‌చకో బొబన్‌ (Kunchacko Boban) కథానాయకుడిగా దర్శకుడు సెన్నా హెగ్డే (Senna Hegde) తెరకెక్కించిన చిత్రం ‘పద్మిని’ (Padmini). ఈ ఏడాది జులై 14న మలయాళంలో థియేటర్లలో విడుదలై, అక్కడి ప్రేక్షకులను అలరించింది. తాజాగా.. ఓటీటీ ‘నెట్‌ఫ్లిక్స్‌’ ( Netflix )లోకి వచ్చింది. తెలుగు సహా పలు భాషల్లో స్ట్రీమింగ్‌ అవుతోన్న ఈ సినిమా కథేంటి? ఎలా ఉందంటే? (Padmini Review)..

ఇదీ కథ: రమేశ్‌ (కున్‌చ‌కో బొబన్‌) ఓ కాలేజీలో ప్రొఫెసర్‌. కథలు రాయడం అతని హాబీ. ఎన్నో కలలతో వివాహ బంధంలోకి అడుగుపెడతాడు. తొలి రాత్రే ఊహించని ఘటనకు షాక్‌ అవుతాడు. తన భార్య స్మృతి (విన్సీ అలోషియస్‌).. ప్రేమించిన వ్యక్తితో వెళ్లిపోవడమే అందుకు కారణం. ఈ బాధలోంచి బయటకొచ్చిన రమేశ్‌కు రెండో వివాహం చేయాలని కుటుంబ సభ్యులు నిర్ణయిస్తారు. దానికి రమేశ్‌ కూడా అంగీకరించడంతో ‘రెండో’ పెళ్లి చూపులు మొదలుపెడతారు. ఓ అమ్మాయి తరఫు బంధువులు అధికారికంగా విడాకులు మంజూరైతేనే రమేశ్‌కు ఇచ్చి పెళ్లి చేస్తామనే షరతు పెడతారు. మరి, ఎక్కడికెళ్లిందో తెలియని భార్యను రమేశ్‌.. విడాకులు కోసం ఎలా వెతికిపట్టుకున్నాడు? ఈ క్రమంలో అతడికి ఎదురైన సవాళ్లేంటి? వకీల్‌ శ్రీదేవి (అపర్ణా బాలమురళీ) ఎలా సాయపడింది? అతడు రెండో వివాహం చేసుకున్నాడా, లేదా? అసలు పద్మిని ఎవరు? తెలియాలంటే సినిమా చూడాల్సిందే (Padmini Review).

ఎలా ఉందంటే: కొంత డ్రామా, కొంత కామెడీ మిక్స్‌ అయిన కథ ఇది. మర్రిచెట్టు, కాకి ప్రధానాంశాలుగా తాను రాసుకున్న కథను హీరో తన భార్యకు వివరించే సీన్‌తో ప్రారంభమైన సినిమా సరదాగా సాగిపోతుంది. మంచి కవిత్వంలా వీరి వైవాహిక జీవితం ఉండబోతుందని ప్రేక్షకుడు అనుకునేలోపు స్మృతి తన భర్తకు హగ్‌తోపాటు ‘హ్యాండ్‌’ ఇచ్చి వెళ్లిపోతుంది. ఇది ఊహించని మలుపే అయినా.. హీరోని చుట్టుపక్కల వారు హేళన చేయడం, అందుకు అతడు బాధపడడంలాంటి సన్నివేశాలు ఊహకు తగినవే. హీరో రెండో పెళ్లికి ప్రయత్నాలు మొదలుపెట్టిన దగ్గర నుంచి కథ వేగంగా ముందుకెళ్తుంది. ఈ క్రమంలో తెరపైకి వచ్చే హీరో బావ పాత్ర, పరుపుల వ్యాపారి (సజిన్‌) పాత్ర కడుపుబ్బా నవ్విస్తాయి. సహోద్యోగిని ప్రేమించి, పెళ్లాడాలనుకున్న హీరో.. విడాకులు తీసుకుంటేనే అది జరుగుతుందని తెలుసుకుని షాక్‌కు గురికావడం ఆడియన్స్‌కు హాస్యం పంచుతుంది. ఇంటర్వెల్‌ సీన్‌ ద్వితీయార్ధంపై ఆసక్తి పెంచుతుంది. పెళ్లి చూపుల్లో భాగంగా వకీల్‌ శ్రీదేవికి పరిచయమైన రమేశ్‌.. తన విడాకుల కోసం ఆమెనే సాయంకోరడం కొత్తగా ఉంటుంది. రెండేళ్ల క్రితం వెళ్లిపోయిన అమ్మాయి కోసం ఈ ఇద్దరు అన్వేషించే క్రమం అంతగా మెప్పించదు. వీరిద్దరి ప్రయాణం సోసో అనిపించినా.. వీరికి స్మృతికి ఇచ్చే ట్విస్ట్‌ మాత్రం అదిరిపోతుంది. దాంతో, ‘పెనం మీద నుంచి పొయ్యిలో పడినట్లు’ అన్నట్టుగా మారుతుంది హీరో పరిస్థితి. రెండో వివాహమై అతడేం నిర్ణయం తీసుకుంటాడనే ఆసక్తి ప్రేక్షకుడికి కలుగుతుంది. ఏ చెట్టు దగ్గరైతే హీరోని తన భార్య వదిలేసి వెళ్లిపోయిందో అదే చెట్టు దగ్గర సాయంకోరడాన్ని చిత్రీకరించిన తీరు బాగుంది. ఊహించని క్లైమాక్స్‌ ఎదురవుతుంది (Padmini Review).

ఎవరెలా చేశారంటే: కున్‌చకో బొబన్‌ తెలుగు ప్రేక్షకులకు సుపరిచితుడే. ‘నాయట్టు’, ‘2018’ వంటి చిత్రాలతో ఇక్కడి వారినీ మెప్పించారాయన. ఈ సినిమాలో.. లోపల బాధను పెట్టుకుని పైకి నవ్వుతూ కనిపించే రమేశ్‌ పాత్రలో ఒదిగిపోయారు. ఫ్యామిలీ కోర్టు వకీల్‌గా అపర్ణ బాలమురళీ అభినయం బాగుంది. సజిన్‌ కామెడీ టైమింగ్‌ ఆకట్టుకుంటుంది. మడోన్నా సెబాస్టియన్‌, మాళవిక మేనన్‌ కీలక పాత్రల్లో కనిపిస్తారు. పాత్ర నిడివి తక్కువే అయినా.. స్మృతిగా విన్సీ అలోషియస్‌ అలరిస్తారు. కథాగమనంలో వచ్చే పాటలు పెద్దగా ఆకట్టుకోకపోయినా నేపథ్య సంగీతం వినసొంపుగా ఉంది. విజువల్స్‌ బాగున్నాయి. దీపు ప్రదీప్‌ రాసిన విభిన్న కథను తెరకెక్కించడంలో దర్శకుడు సెన్నా హెగ్డే విజయం సాధించారు (Padmini Review).

Oru Nodi Review: The Tamil box office is set to witness an interesting box office clash this Friday and the audience can't keep calm. We are talking about the clash between as Vishal's Rathnam and Taman Kumar's Oru Nodi. While Vishal's Rathnam is an action thriller, Oru Nodi is an crime investigation thriller. Helmed by debutant Mani Varman.

Oru Nodi revolves around a cop, played by Taman Kumar who gets a missing case to investigate. However, the case leads to murky details of murders. The movie also features Vela Ramamurthy, Sri Ranjani, Gajaraj, Pazha Karuppaiah, and Karupu Nambiar in key roles. Needless to say, Oru Nodi is one of the most anticipated releases of the year. As fans are looking forward to the release of Oru Nodi, we have got our hands on the first review of the movie

Meanwhile, talking about the film, director Mani Varman stated, "This is a crime thriller. I am aware that a lot of films have been released in the same genre previously. The speciality of Oru Nodi is that people, who aren't huge fans of crime thrillers, will like our movie. There is an emotional connection to every character in the movie, which will resonate with the audience. For instance, MS Bhaskar sir's role couldn't have been justified by any other actor. I waited for his dates so that the film could go on floors. The movie takes place in Madurai's Alanganallur. Several real-life incidents have been woven together and the hero's character is taken from one of the incidents and we have made it bigger by connecting it to all of the other crimes in the story".
