With Gauthamante Radham (Gautham's Vehicle), I am convinced that Malayalam cinema has moved to a territory where films can be made on unique themes and still look consumable. One such theme is that of a family's obsession with their first car, the primary theme of this feel-good drama, which is also a popular theme amongst middle-class Indians. High relatability apart, what works for the film is the nostalgic effect it will have on you if you have ever bought a used car and felt flustered over the thought of selling it. Neeraj Madhav leads the film with great support from Renji Panicker, Valsala Menon, and Devi Ajith making up the reel family. Everything about this family exudes poignancy making the film easier to sit back and relish, especially during quarantine. Basil Joseph and Punya Elizabeth form the rest of the cast and they do a fine job with their roles. Although I was not too impressed with the conflict in the film (involving Elizabeth), I still have to give it to Anand Menon for carving a nice little story in his debut, that although faces difficulty in pacing in the second half, is overall an attempt that can bring a smile to your face. Or even a tear. The privilege to own a car comes with its own set of emotions. Watching Gauthamante Radham may help you relive those. TN.

Soaking wet movie with baseless cliches and stinking jokes
geomariageorge19 May 2020
Plot was so bad that it's too obvious that Nano people sponsored a bunch of sub-par 'machine' (because no writer can do this bad) to create a movie around it. Makes one feel that the movie was made a mismatch of a bunch of scenes that sputtered in the mind of a tinman somewhere. There is no logic, reason or warmth to this movie. Its made so badly that you might get nauseated with a migraine. Absolutely pathetic and worth not a second.
I pity the actors who had to work on this movie.
Really good Movie, worth watching.

Neeraj did very well, though the theatre was empty when i went, this movie deserves more. This is my first review here. Not just here, this is the first review i have ever made. Because movies like this deserves a crowd. Really sad to see empty seats for such a wonderful movie

When I came across this movie I did not expect it to be good. But it was great. A beautiful little movie with superlative performances by the entire cast. The ending is something I did not expect either from a Malayalam movie - It really manages to keep you feeling happy and hopeful!
Must watch - 10/10.

Gauthamande Radham is super awesome feel good movie, with too much relatable stuffs.The picture perfect caste except the actress made this movie more pleasing to watch especially neeraj madhav as gautham and his grandmother and father.All done their part neatly with out over acting.The main hero like character is his fellow car Tata nano.Basil joseph also done his part well.This movie is so pleasing to watch since we feel like all the movie happens around our own home.All of us who had first car moments could have relate those scenes in this movie.The songs are extremely good especially the romantic track and the trip track.If you want yo cool your mind and get refreshed u can watch it. I give 8/10.
Must watch movie
