Director Jithu Joseph is bring another family movie with Kunchacko Boban, Archana Kavi, Mukesh, Lalu Alex, Urvashi, Shari, Janardhanan, Anoop Menon.
World over malayalees life is getting a make over due to the influence of tv programes. That is the same reason why this movie may become a success.
The story line goes like this. Mommy and Me movie is about the daugher and mother played by Urvashi and Archana Kavi.
Archana Kavi protrays todays teenage daugher in a middle class family who is demanding more freedom in her life. She is not happy with her mother trying to control her life. This leads to friction and Joseph (Mukesh), the father, has to bear the brunt of it. His efforts to be a bridge fail most of the time.
And there is Jewel’s young brother who tries to spy on her; Rahul who loves Jewel secretly(played by Kunchako Boban. Story takes the turn as Jewel gets into trouble with the college bad guys and rahul saves her.
The cast saves the movie from being a total disaster. Urvasi performs excellent as over protective mother of the daughet. Archana should consider herself lucky to get such an author-backed role so early in her career and that too opposite Urvasi. Archana need to graduate as an actress to take up any role with substance. Kunchako Boban is trying his best to look like and act like a college student. Veterans like Mukesh and Lalu Alex have nothing exceptional to do.
This movie is getting ample attention and is is going to be another successfull in Malayalam as the subject and the presentation is loved by the malayalee family world wide. The society is looking for such good movies rather than purely commercial cinema.
Writer-director Jeethu Joseph tries to prove his versatility with this film, but does not succeed fully as the film is very loud. It may be the title and the story line which is doing the magic.
