Paippin Chuvattile Pranayam (2017) User Reviews

Not so bad

[joppanLive · 6/10 · 13 April 2018]

A 'not so bad' movie set under a village background. I didn't find any wrong with the acting and casting; all acted their roles well. The movie looks real and very naturalistic. What I found lacking in this movie is a gripping screenplay that stick the users to their seats until the very end. Felt the climax could have been made better. Overall, an average one-time watchable movie.

Capsule Review: Pyppin Chuvattile Pranayam

[nairtejas · 4/10 · 15 April 2018]

The biggest issue with Pyppin Chuvattile Pranayam is its nature of conflict. It aspires to be a romantic drama but ends up as contrived activism against the lack of potable water in certain parts of Kerala. Frontman Neeraj Madhav plays the leader of a small gang of youngsters who care about this lack in their island village and try to bring in a change. Their efforts are hardly convincing and are diluted by director Domin D'Silva's poor writing and execution. Apart from the fact that the film dilly-dallies for about 45 minutes before introducing the romance (which should have been the primary theme if we go by the title), it never settles on one topic. Reba Monica John keeps showing her pearl whites in an attempt to hide her amateur acting, which director D'Silva understands. So he changes his focus on the supporting characters, most notably Sarath Kumar, whose story arc is as useless as the love story that I talked about earlier. With few episodes of poverty thrown here and there and the peculiar Kozhikode dialect as garnishing, Pyppin Chuvattile Pranayam keeps on going. The editing is horrible because, as mentioned, few sequences do not make sense owing to their incompletion. It is the mark of poor imagination and conviction, and I'm sure that the film was made as an experiment without a proper plan in place. Even Aju Varghese is unenthusiastic in this film that only has Madhav and his bunch of local actors playing with some conviction. We have seen a lot of films lately that tries to shed light on stark social issues but uses cheesy love stories as a shield to invite the readers. In marketing language, that is called clickbait, and Pyppin Chuvattile Pranayam is a good example. Skipping won't be harmful. TN.

Lovely little movie

This is feel good comedy drama movie with a good amount of heart touching moments. Acting of Neeraj Madhava and Reba Monica were good , songs were soothing to the ear, especially "kayalirambilu" was very good.There were lagging at times but most of the comedy scenes were good which helped to maintain the flow of the movie up to an extent. This movie has a strong social message which everyone needs to ponder over. Overall a good effort from the debutant director Domin D'silva.

Movie with a good message

The movie is filled with amazing cast who truly make the film first . The movie has conveyed the story in a very geniune way which makes the audience to hold back to their seats. A special congrats to the Director Domin D'Silva for the spectacular job.

A new-gen classic...

This is very socially meaningful production...Picturises a realistic geo-social situation ... the scarcity of water-the elixir of life through simple, life-like characters !! Strong script, apt cast and soulful music!
