Nothing new. Nothing good. Story was predictable. I can't imagine how can one write such a lame story and most surprisingly how people like it. More than half of the characters were used for convenience. No real strength in the story. There is famous saying "Building castle in the air" to describe such things. Poor attempt from Vineeth who took far too much freedom in writing/making this story/movie.Navin's performance was below par, Isha's even worse.To summarize in one line " Routine, boring and unconvincing"PS: My friend (santosh) who likes a Muslim girl (Sameera-95% relevance) suggested me to watch this movie. I will kindly pay him back when I meet him.

I went for this movie watching the superb ads, songs and high rating in IMDb. No doubt the songs are good, the beautiful actress is just as the hero explains in trailer!! Another reason going for this movie is Mr. Srinivasan and his son. Most of the Srinivasan's (eg. Gadhama, Arabikatha, Traffic, C. Shymala etc) movies are good. But Vineeth's inexperience in direction is quite evident.If you have seen the ads and the songs, then you have seen the entire movie. An example where a movie can gather crowds just with good songs and stunning actress (Isha Talwar).There is nothing in this movie other than a straight forward love story which ends in marriage. Story, direction, sets are all plain simple. Youngster's brand costume's of the hero and friends contrast a lot with surrounding crowd, which should have avoided!! A good actor Manoj K. Jayan's artificial Trivandrum accent is just awful, (he shouldn't have attempted Venjaramoodu)..:( Not sure why people gave high rating for this movie in IMDb(likely the producer itself..:)

"Thattathin Marayathu" directed by Vineet Srinivasan has a very simple storyline but bowl the viewers over by its simplicity, heart & emotions. It's been a very long time since one came out of the theater with heartfelt grin on the face. It once again proves that simplicity is the best even when it comes to movies.Movie traces the love life of the protagonist who falls in love with a girl of different faith & class. Though the storyline has all the clichés of the love stories of the yore, it is the treatment by Vineet that makes it work big time. The freshness of the narrative supported by intelligent yet funny & sometimes hard-hitting dialogs and fine performance by the actors concerned has ensured that "Thattathin Marayathu" is easily one of the finest movies of the year.The screenplay moves at a brisk pace interlaced with adequate doses of romance , humor , politics & sentiments. The beauty is that all these elements fall in place within the narrative & doesn't look forced into it. As said earlier dialogs are the major strength. Brilliantly written one-liners laced with humor , politics & the current happenings without any restrain makes one say kudos to the writer. Honesty in writing what bowls one over. That they have used actual political party names without fear is praiseworthy. Hence the mushy & tacky romantic dialogs can be excused.Though it is a oft-repeated story Vineet has not tried to be politically correct with respect to issues concerning religions. He has courageously addressed issues like the emancipation of Muslim women, respecting their wishes & aspirations and their freedom. All the same he does great deal of maturity without painting things black & white. The dialogs in the end mouthed by Srinivasan are brilliantly said without being preachy.Coming onto the acting part , Nivin Pauly has done a stupendous job as the protagonist Vinod. He literally carries the movie on his shoulder as the whole movie is said in his point of view. He shows great deal of mastery over emotions. Isha Talwar is luminous on screen & does her part well. Aju Verghese as Abdu , Vinod's friend is a show stealer. He brings down the roof with his witty one-liners. Though Srinivasan comes in a very brief role , he makes a lasting impact in the end. Rest of the cast have done their jobs adequately.Shaan Rahman , the music director of the movie is another star. He rocked both in his background score as well as in the songs. The background score blends well with the narrative & rings in the ears even long after the movie is over. "Muthuchippi" , "Anuragathin Velayail" , "Thattathin marayathe " are all well composed songs. Songs are definite pillars of strength for this movie.Technically also the movie is brilliant. Majority accolades for the same has to go to Jomon T John , the cinematographer of the movie. His camera has shot the natural beauty of Thallasery & Kannur is a splendid manner.Only negative point that one can think of is that movie is almost like a fairytale with everything falling in place without much struggle. One does get jealous of the ridiculous ease with which the protagonist achieves everything in this movie.On the whole, "Thattathin Marayathu" is a beautiful love story that will sure make you smile at the end.Bottomline: Beautiful

Thattathin Mareyath is a simple yet engaging movie with a plot so clichéd yet so refreshing. I was amazed how the movie never fails to amuse, albeit getting the vibe of whats in store ahead. Now thats the magic of a writter cum director, here we have Vineeth Sreenivasan who makes a giant leap from "Malarvadi".Breaking all my presumptions, Nivin pauly does it in style as the bloody blushing lover boy and as for the lady love, her looks were more than enough. The co-cast all supportive and hilarious, we get some good laughs when they all fit in. Special mention to shan rahman for roping in with some romantic tracks.Ha! How i loved the romantic scenes, the surreal textures, the background scores which all reminded me of my lovelife! A good watch. 6.5/10
