Bleed Red Same old story..A rich father with a flamboyant life style and an irresponsible son. Father loses all his belongings..Son wakes up..few months of hard work..Ta da...Father rich again!!!! Its time for traditional directors like Satyan Anthikad to change their usual clichéd family crap...That era is over at least in Malayalam cinemas.

Manglessery Neelakandan (sshaji) Jomonte Suvisheshangal is just a scaled down version of Jacobinte Swargarajayam. If you have already seen Jacob this movie will be a let down for you other than for the few comedy scenes. The only reason to watch this movie is because it is a completely painless family entertainer with decent jokes. There are definitely many sathyan anthikkad elements add to the movie which makes us more disappointed because it reminds us movie like nadodikattu and ghandinagar 2nd street. DQ is that same young handsome romantic youth that we repeatedly see him as. Mukesh is definitely excels when it comes to act as he always has. Anupama does not really have anything much to do. This is nothing more than an entertaining 2 and half hours.

Tejas Nair It is disheartening to see a veteran director like Sathyan Anthikad making such low-quality family dramas that are not only difficult to watch but also without any substance. Even if one does not compare this cold turkey and the 2015 debacle "Ennum Eppozhum" with the director's past films, there is still the issue of lack of novelty.Jomon (Dulquer Salmaan) is a carefree young man who has to take care of his father when the latter repeatedly makes few bad business decisions. The film largely talks about Jomon's sugarcoated struggle to be a good and responsible son.Dulquer Salmaan should be blamed for taking up this project which is driven by a half-baked screenplay. Evidence of the shoddy execution becomes clear in the first half itself where the makers do not have any more things to say, so they introduce new characters, new arcs that just do not add up. With the exception of Mukesh, none of the cast members do a good job. Anupama Parameshwaran cannot act and neither can the newbie Aishwarya Rajesh. Salmaan and rest of the characters engage in blatant overacting (partly because the script demands it). Lastly, comparing it with Vineeth Sreenivasan's Jacobinte Swargarajyam (2016) shouldn't be a problem as both of them are in the same league: exaggerated family drama that talks about responsibilities and accuses the younger generation of having none. Pure hyperbole.BOTTOM LINE: I've not even listed the large number of plot-holes and glaring defects in the film. Not recommended!Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES

Mc Bun1 What I like about Sathyan Anthikad directed movies is that you're guaranteed clean entertainment. Jomonte Suvisheshangal is another feel good, family movie from his stable but I miss the touch he'd during the 1990s. Maybe his writers has changed over the years, I'm not sure what has happened but his movies these days miss the charm and spontaneity of his older works from the 90's era. Also, this movie seem quite inspired by last year's release Jacobinte Swargarajyam which has a similar theme.Ultimately I think what saves this movie from being an average flick is the humor especially from actors like Innocent. The performances from the cast are good. Dulquer Salmaan as the lead does very well(dance, comedy, emotions) but this man is capable of much more. He's ably supported by Mukesh as his father. Aishwarya Rajesh as the leading lady is very good. Anupama Parameshwaran makes a nice impact in a shorter role as Dulquer's love in the initial scenes. Jacob Gregory as Dulquer's business partner provides good comic relief like Innocent in the movie.The songs are also pleasant to hear.The final scene has a big influence on your overall opinion of the movie and in this movie, it fell short of my expectation. It ends on a positive note but it felt ordinary and predictable.To sum up, I can say this movie is somewhere between excellence and mediocre. Although I frankly expected more from a Sathyan Anthikad direction, it has many touching & funny moments and like I said earlier, if what you seek is clean family entertainment, go for it.
