If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

View MoreOne of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
View MoreSuch a beautiful, simple romantic film. I have no idea why people call this cliché. The film deviates from the regular love stories at the beginning when Vinod narrates his story. While boring films show the actor and actress meeting, this shows what actually happens in reality. The film was absolutely brilliant because it didn't show the hot college basketball player finding a girl, but showed a shy, normal guy like Vinod who anyone can relate to. Fantastic romantic songs. I felt so in love.. For all those guys who hated this, I frankly don't know why. If you have a small spark of love in you, this film is bound to make it into a raging fire. Awesome movie
View MoreThattathin Marayathu defines a rendition that surpasses the most contemporary or avant-garde script with its sheer guiltlessness and a straight from the heart ambiance. The common perceptibility while watching something conceived by a 27 year old is strongly questioned by the overall cinematic brilliance. Thattathin Marayathu may have loose ends as would any masterpiece that our industry has seen. But the fact that it elucidates the innocence concealed in an intercast love story and crafts it with a simple storyline depicting the nuances of conventional characters is purely magical. The thread is finely woven with many unpredictable and impulsive moments that literally sparks your nostalgia and creates that I may have done this? feeling. The movie gently floats from a light hearted youthfulness to unperturbed romantic shores with ease and panache. The characters are well sketched and the cast delivers a sincere and candid feat. The untangling of issue towards the climax may have needed some slight nourishment. Nevertheless, the absence of a terrific storyline is often understated as it glides through the luminous performance by the entire cast, tactical and exuberant narration, Brilliant cinematography reinforced with some soul stirring scores by Shaan. Full credits to Vineeth for presenting viewers with a narrative that is not just refreshing but brimming with life
View More"Thattathin Marayathu" directed by Vineet Srinivasan has a very simple storyline but bowl the viewers over by its simplicity, heart & emotions. It's been a very long time since one came out of the theater with heartfelt grin on the face. It once again proves that simplicity is the best even when it comes to movies.Movie traces the love life of the protagonist who falls in love with a girl of different faith & class. Though the storyline has all the clichés of the love stories of the yore, it is the treatment by Vineet that makes it work big time. The freshness of the narrative supported by intelligent yet funny & sometimes hard-hitting dialogs and fine performance by the actors concerned has ensured that "Thattathin Marayathu" is easily one of the finest movies of the year.The screenplay moves at a brisk pace interlaced with adequate doses of romance , humor , politics & sentiments. The beauty is that all these elements fall in place within the narrative & doesn't look forced into it. As said earlier dialogs are the major strength. Brilliantly written one-liners laced with humor , politics & the current happenings without any restrain makes one say kudos to the writer. Honesty in writing what bowls one over. That they have used actual political party names without fear is praiseworthy. Hence the mushy & tacky romantic dialogs can be excused.Though it is a oft-repeated story Vineet has not tried to be politically correct with respect to issues concerning religions. He has courageously addressed issues like the emancipation of Muslim women, respecting their wishes & aspirations and their freedom. All the same he does great deal of maturity without painting things black & white. The dialogs in the end mouthed by Srinivasan are brilliantly said without being preachy.Coming onto the acting part , Nivin Pauly has done a stupendous job as the protagonist Vinod. He literally carries the movie on his shoulder as the whole movie is said in his point of view. He shows great deal of mastery over emotions. Isha Talwar is luminous on screen & does her part well. Aju Verghese as Abdu , Vinod's friend is a show stealer. He brings down the roof with his witty one-liners. Though Srinivasan comes in a very brief role , he makes a lasting impact in the end. Rest of the cast have done their jobs adequately.Shaan Rahman , the music director of the movie is another star. He rocked both in his background score as well as in the songs. The background score blends well with the narrative & rings in the ears even long after the movie is over. "Muthuchippi" , "Anuragathin Velayail" , "Thattathin marayathe " are all well composed songs. Songs are definite pillars of strength for this movie.Technically also the movie is brilliant. Majority accolades for the same has to go to Jomon T John , the cinematographer of the movie. His camera has shot the natural beauty of Thallasery & Kannur is a splendid manner.Only negative point that one can think of is that movie is almost like a fairytale with everything falling in place without much struggle. One does get jealous of the ridiculous ease with which the protagonist achieves everything in this movie.On the whole, "Thattathin Marayathu" is a beautiful love story that will sure make you smile at the end.Bottomline: Beautiful
