After Premam (2015) Nivin Pauly returns to his forte in Love Action Drama (LAD). Its such a laugh riot to see Nivin's comic timing and comic expressions after a long time.
LAD is a light hearted movie, but without much of a story, some vintage Nivin Pauly comic scenes, a beautiful Nayanthara, good support from Aju Varghese and the fun kudukku song, which grows on you.
But the movie has drawbacks:
Though the movie looks slick and the presentation is very colourful, how I wish the makers would have given some thought to the plot and introduced some layers to make it interesting.
Can't comment much on Dhyan Srinivasan's direction debut as it seems he opts to play safe with a simple plot and bringing in superstars Pauly and Nayanthata
If u want to see a light hearted comedy Nivin Pauly film (and he is completely in form), have a few laughs and come out of the theatre feeling light, then LAD is the movie for you.
The movie is sure to appeal to youngsters and i will b surprised if it doesnt become a hit.

But the movie has drawbacks:
- too many scenes with Nivin and Aju Varghese and not all the jokes hit home
- there is nothing in terms of a plot, boy meets girl, wants to marry, tries to impress, misunderstanding arises, etc
- all through the movie Pauly is shown either drinking or smoking, not sure why this was required in almost every scene
- too much of back ground music in every scene which sometimes becomes jarring
- it seemed like when playing a drunk every person in the film was trying to imitate Mohanlal
