Suresh Krishna steals the limelight in this movie with the only laughable parts centered on him. Lal is good, but overacts when he gets stoned. Biju Menon is more like a serious character with blatant relationship issues & that is what becomes the base of the movie. The story is great, inventive & experimental and the movie would have been better had the two newcomers not acted & showed how they CAN'T act at all and a more careful plot.The screenplay & editing has to be appreciated here. But the cheapness filled in the dialogs, songs & certain characters spoils the whole broth which is enjoyable till it hits the interval. After that, the melodrama unfolds and the movie ends particularly noting a possible sequel.BOTTOM LINE: A jolly good entertainer but let me remind you, the base & dialogs are tad adult so you might not want to watch this before a family. Otherwise, Chettayees is a one-time watchable movie with your teenage/like-minded friends.Can be watched with a typical Indian family?
