Movie Review -
This Sensational and Taboo-breaking lovestory by Padmarajan has more to offer than his high-rated Thoovanathumbikal. I intentionally mentioned Thoovanathumbikal here because when i see at the ratings of these two films, one surely look high-rated undeservingly. This is strictly my personal opinion as i have recently seen Thoovanathumbikal and for me it didn't match the hype. On the other side, Namukku Parkkan Munthiri Thoppukal isn't hyped as high as Thoovanathumbikal but for me it has fared better. The film did match the level of expectations i had and I would say that rather it surpassed them. The film is about Solomon who falls in love with his neighbour, Sofia. However, things does not go smooth and he finds himself helpless when he realises about her family life being unacceptable to the society. One cute thing to notice in the film is that throughout the story, there are references to the Biblical book Song of Songs where it depicts the romantic dialogue between a young woman and her lover. In the climax we see conflicts reaching upto devastating level and the things shown there are simply taboo-breaking for any Romantic Drama by that time. Mohanlal once again shines as a matured actor. This time the role was quite simple so for him it wasn't anything to worry about. Shari looks beautiful as Sofia and Thilakan portrays a villainous father so well that you start hating his character and by the end you completely hate him. Vineeth as teenage boy looked fine and Kaviyoor Ponnamma plays a mother as perfectly as she could. Padmarajan's direction and vision plays a vital part in forming this uncompromising storytelling. For me, Thoovanathumbikal went wrong with the characters and became too predictable but here Padmarajan had me glued and clueless about one or two characters. So, overall a path-breaking content in mainstream romance.
RATING - 8/10*
