That’s when a little doubt creeps into her mind trigerring off events in the family. Returning home, she gets breakfast ready and then goes for a shower.
In that sense, Njandukalude Nattil Oridavela is a thoroughly satisfying family drama that works better as a comedy drama.Another day dawns for Sheela Chacko who begins her morning with a walk with friends. Because these are films that have 'theatre' moments that don't resonate on Netflix or Amazon Prime. But when one leaves the dark room, one feels happy and satisfied. In a way that some of the stories are not 'great' per se. What's amazing about the Malayalam industry is its capacity to floor the audiences with compelling dramas. The doctor candidly says, "Remember, Newton's third law." To which, Kurien shrugs and replies, "One moment." Nivin's timing is fantastic. Chacko rings up the doctor at night, followed by Kurien. When Sheela shaves her head after the chemo session, the family flips out. But what about Nivin Pauly, the star? When Rachel asks Kurien whether he knows anything about love, the latter says, "Even kids know about my Premam." Of course, you remember 'Operation Gurukulam'.ĭirector Althaf Salim has to be appreciated for writing a light-hearted comedy about the lives of Chacko and his family. You wouldn't be surprised that the boy-meets-girl happens inside a hospital. For those expecting a Premam of sorts, a lovely romance brews between Kurien and Rachel, whose father, too, is a cancer patient. This is perhaps the defining scene of Njandukalude Nattil Oridavela, which appears to be an emotional at first, but has nice touch towards the end. Sheela, however, says that she's not superstitious, but anticipates very little that's left of her 'journey' when Kurien tries to start the car. Especially when she leaves for chemotherapy. Remember Chacko's courage? Sympathy is the least that Sheela expects from the others, who offer relentless prayers. When Sheela returns to the dining table, she is comforted by others upon hearing that it's her husband who has cancer. In one of the several hilarious scenes, Chacko has to break the news to the family. The family reunites to support Sheela, mentally. He misinterprets a call from his mother as the sign of an arranged marriage set up in India. Lastly, our hero, Kurien Chacko (Nivin Pauly), who returns from London. There's the younger daughter Sarah (Aahana Kumar), whose glowing eyes are far bigger than her role. We later learn that it was the debt he owed Chacko. We see an elder daughter, Mary, whose husband Tony (Siju Wilson) graciously donates Rs 3.5 lakh for his mother-in-law's treatment. Of the several things, Sheela first needs to win over the dysfunctional family consisting of a not-so-courageous husband Chacko (Lal), who is not accustomed to dispose off cigarette butts until his wife snaps at him. The film is centered on Sheela, a college professor who is diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer. In fact, one wonders if the title, Njandukalude Nattil Oridavela, is a metaphor for her character (living amid crabs?). In Njandukalude Nattil Oridavela, the lady of the house, Sheela Chacko, pretty much reminds us of the scenes from every household. Without which, its trunk and the branches would crumble. There's a common belief that the mothers form the crux of the family tree, she is the root.
