However good might be director Noushad's intentions, his directorial venture Cappuccino can be only seen as an amateur and haphazard attempt at highlighting a social issue. That how circulation of a photo of an aspiring model wreaks havoc in the lives of at least four people is the central theme of Noushad's comedy drama. Aneesh Menon is the head of a video advertising agency who thinks that the woman in this photo is the woman who has been chatting with and who he now is in love with. I like the idea of how perversion is the main character here (thanks also to Raveendran's cringeworthy cameo), but the poorly stitched narrative of random sequences that do not add up anything to the film is what will make you doze off in the first 10 minutes itself. The story, or whatever you can call it here, starts only after 30 minutes, before which Menon and his co-stars are seen fooling around. There is hardly any comedy in the proceedings, which affects the entertainment quotient, further affected by the ridiculous acting by Anita Lukmance, Vineeth Mohan (who did a great performance in John Varghese's 2015 horror comedy Adi Kapyare Kootamani), and others. Despite having a moral at the end, Cappuccino suffers from rookie filmmaking and hence cannot be recommended. Even if you have nothing better do, skip this and watch some indie Malayalam films instead. TN.
