Though touted as Baby Shalini’s debut as a heroine, teenage girls took stock of the quiet young man who looked deep into her eyes at the public library, handed her a romance novel and walked away, with a throbbing romantic melody wafting in the backdrop. During a time when Malayalam cinema was still grappling with themes that paid obeisance to the alpha male heroes, Kunchacko Boban was like a breath of fresh air, who took on the mantle that was left vacant by chocolate hero Rahman of the 80s.

ReviewDirector Dimal Dennis brings rawness into his Kochi story, but the unjustified length, too many characters and lack of clarity in script lessen the effect.CrisLong films are fine when you don’t feel its lengthiness, when you don’t end up looking at the watch every few minutes wondering how much longer. Valiya Perunnal has originality, has that certain rawness that new-gen movies can be proud of, but it is dragged on far too long (188 minutes), and not enjoyably so. The film also lacks clarity in a big, big way. With too many characters thrown in and too little conveyed, it appears the makers didn’t think too much about actually communicating with the audience. Valiya Perunnal is significant, coming at a time when its lead actor, Shane Nigam, is facing a ban. Shane has been telling the media to judge for themselves if he hasn’t been working hard for his films.
