After watching morning show 'Double Barrel', I went for matinee show of 'Kunjiramayanam'. Jobin (my cousin) was supposed to come with me but he didn't turn up. The movie was a pure entertainer. The audience at the screen where I watched gave a really good response to the movie. There was laughter all through the movie. Before the movie began they showed the trailer of 'Ennu Ninte Moideen' and the response was crazy, as it was the story of Mukkam itself. 

The title sequence of Kunjiramayanam deserves a special mention. With its visuals of village folk in their various daily activities and smiling faces, the sequence is lovely and evokes a smile in our and freshness in our mind. Also deserving a mention is the 'Salsa' song, a recent favourite of mine in terms of its parody style lyrics, tune and its hilarious visuals. 

From start to finish, the approach of a Kerala youngster with good humour sense is evident. The experience was like reading a children's comic and having lot of fun with caricature-like characters. My favourite in the movie was Dhyan Sreenivasan, whose portrayal of Lalu, a shy, stupid boy who looks adores his good-for-nothing mentor and never achieves anything. Dhyan was such a darling as Lalu! The suspense created and maintained for the guest appearances were really worth the wait. 'Kunjiramayanam' is definitely my kind of a silly, fun movie. Had a great time.
