Vijay Superum Pournamiyum (ENG: Vijay Super and Pournami), much like its Malayalam title, is a slightly weird film that tackles the unspoken love between people in the modern age. Writer-director Jis Joy narrates the story of independent aspiring entrepreneur Pournami (Aishwarya Lekshmi) and failed Engineer-turned chef Vijay (Asif Ali) as they begin their journey together first as potential partners and then as business partners. While the latter part is a mopey emotional take on the subject, I was fascinated by what Joy had to present in the first half. There a bride-meeting ceremony turns into a believable setting of comedy (thanks for ample help from Renji Panicker and Devan) which is possibly the only fresh thing to come out of Vijay Superum Pournamiyum, which depends on its characters' philosophical ideologies to make a point or two about relationships, entrepreneurship, and unity. Special nod to Siddique for pulling off a character that will stay with you longer than the film will. TN.
