Is nepotism really as bad as it is made to appear? Well it certainly gives you an easy break in the industry but it all comes down to how good the final product is & if that isn't good enough, then there is nothing much one can do about it One such movie that could be mentioned in that category is Anoop Padmanabhan's "Thattassery Koottam" which is bankrolled by his brother, Dileep. Hardly anything worthwhile happens except for a couple of sporadic chuckles as it turns out to be as predictable as Team India's performance in ICC tournaments over the last decade.
Whether Geo PV had written two scripts & combined into one is something only he would be able to answer since the two halves had distinct templates (not that either of them mattered much). Sanjeev (Arjun Ashokan) was a talented artist who was taught the craft of goldsmithery by his uncle. However, he wasn't keen on pursuing his uncle's profession despite being rather clueless about his future. But circumstances meant that he needed to step in for his uncle for the creation of a necklace which in turn brings in quite unexpected challenges in their lives.
There is hardly anything unique in the whole movie be it in the manner in which Geo has penned the script or Anoop has narrated the story. The conflict that was expected in the first half barely materialized, while in the second half, it did give some expectations when the protagonist & his band of friends embark in search of the culprits. But it wasn't to be as it was typical predictable stuff culminating in a revenge drama. None of the technical aspects deserves special mention while the artists such as Arjun, Vijay Raghavan, Balaji etc. did their parts aptly though it didn't challenge any of the performers.
Verdict: Quite predictable & offers nothing that we haven't come across from such movies in the past!!!
Rating: 1.5/5
