Kadha Thudarunnu .....

Kadha Thudarunnu is now, one of my most favorite/memorable Malayalam films. This movie is a must watch, you will not get bored at all, every minute is something ........ 


Its about Vidyalakshmi(Mamta Mohandas) who marries Shanavas(Asif Ali) without the consent of both sides. Later they have a daughter Laya(Baby Anikha). But later fate has something different for her. Then Preman(Jayaram) comes along, which changes everything.....


Mamta was great! Literally, this movie revolved around her, this movie is definitely her best film in her career so far. I really don't think any other comes even close to her performance in this film. She was awesome as a loving mother and a struggling woman. Seriously she deserves an award. She even dubbed for herself, good if she gets the Kerala State Award. :)
Surprisingly  in the place where they give tons of attention to the hero, there is not much attention on Jayaram. But he was impressive in the part he had, it wasn't a larger than life character, it was a real life character. He also look pretty handsome in the 5 o' clock shadow he had in the movie ;) . Baby Anikha was so cute and adorable :D pretty good acting too :) Asif Ali was good in the role he had too , he looked like Tamil actor Prasanna to me in some angles, if you pay attention you will notice. I didn't notice he was from the movie Rithu at all ! Until I looked him up, seems to have changed from Rithu to KT,but he certainly looks charming :D Lakshmi Priya the girl who acted as Mallika was really pretty :D I was actually shocked to see Sreejith Ravi in a positive role! Because all the malayalam movies I have seen so far had him in a negative role. But it was cool seeing him in a positive role for once :) Innocent had a touching role, which he was great in :) 


I really didn't find anything wrong with the movie except I am curious on one part, Why didn't Mamta say anything/ tell the truth when K.P.A.C. Lalitha was saying rude things about her? 


** I would just like to say hats off to Mr.Sathyan Anthikkad , it was his 50th directed movie, and he proved himself well! Also, Mamta proved herself with this movie :) now Im a fan of her :) 

The songs were very melodious, What am I saying? of course they were melodious they were by Illayaraja! Liked the songs too! My fav track out of the three was Aaro Paadunu sung by Hariharan and K.S.Chitra. They were awesome :) The song was picturised on Mamta and Asif Ali. Cute couple, I must say :D Its a hummable tune :D But the other songs are good too :)





In all Mamta was the show stealer, no doubt, she was gorgeous too :D. She rocks! Jayaram and Asif were cute and good. :D Everything about the movie was great :)  
Please do watch the film if you haven't all ready, DO NOT MISS IT :) 
By the way Kadha Thudarunnu means The story continues......

For the first time ever, Bhavana appeared in a wedding scene as a bride for Kudumbashree Travels. 

The film with Jayaram and Bhavana in lead roles, is being directed by debutant Kiran, the director of many TV serials including the super hit comedy serial Ettu Sundarikalum Njanum.

Bhavana seems thrilled after the shoot, where she gets married to Jayaram.  

She was looking gorgeous in blue sari, accessories and flowers. She said this is a new experience and a nice rehearsal for her real life wedding some time in the future. 

Jayaram who had already acted in many marriage scenes described this one as the most confusing marriage episode.

The story of the movie revolves around the marriage scene. Jayaram's character Aravidan is a Chakyarkutthu artist who hails from a remote village and he has decided that he would marry a girl who knows the art form. 

Bhavana, a Nangiar koothu artist has vowed that she would marry only a Koothu artist. Hence the marriage between Aravindan and Aswathy takes place. 

The entire village goes to take part in the wedding. They are going by a bus named Kudumbashree Travels.

Jayaram without moustache

The lead actors in Malayalam had been noticed for the extremely different get ups on which they appear on screens. Starting from Mammootty to Jayasuriya, all of the lead stars had been in the forefront in experimenting with different looks. Jayaram had been the one actor who had kept away from making major changes in his looks, for any type of films he had been in the last twenty years.

But for now, Jayaram is attempting a change of looks for his new movie 'Kudumbashree Travels'. The movie will have him as Aravindan, a member of a family full of Koothu artists.

Directed by debutant Kiran, the movie is planned as a nonstop comedy. The movie is narrated amidst a bus travelling between a remote village to the Kochi metro. 'Kudumbashree Travels' will be scripted by Thomas Thoppilkudy famous for many mimics cassettes.

Bhavana is the heroine of this movie which will also have Jagathy Sreekumar, Kottyan Nazeer, K P A V Lalitha, Mamukoya, P Sreekumar, Janaardhanan, and P Sreekumar in important roles.
