Da Thadiya Malayalam Movie Review :
Aashiq Abu’s latest attempt, Da Thadiya is not an
extraordinary cinematic experience. It is an ordinary movie with an old theme
wrapped under some fresh colours. The movie talks about the complexes of people
which make them insecure in their state of living. Some people worry about
their colour, height, looks and a thousand other factors. This turns their
wheels to a damn mud road. Then some frauds will pop up and start to fish from
their insecure feelings. At a point, when they start to wipe it off, things
will become the finest. Thadiyan in the movie is a winner. As the catch line, Prakasham
Parakkatte ( Let The Light Flood), says, life should not be limited to
something. It should be a means to spread light where ever possible.
Work-wise, the movie is well captured and presented with a unique style. Casting
and other technicalities fit well. Especially Thadiyan (Shekhar Menon). But it lacks a charm that Aashiq Abu’s
audience expect. Basically it is a clichéd thread. But filmmaker’s craft has
turned the dial to add a fresh flavour to it and it works. That is evident in
the climax scene. It breaks the age old expectations of an average spectator.
Nivin Pauly’s Rahul Vaidyan
is simply the replica of many Jagathiyan characters. The storyline also reminds
many other similar attempts. Even though there are some interesting
moments in the movie which makes it worth watching.
