Palthu Janwar

The movie is kinda fell good type...small story..small village... It's about prasoon played by basil Joseph who is kinda animator turned livestock inspector. He is not fond of this job and at end ..as you have guessed he slowly begins to feel attachment to "paltu janwars" Basil Joseph does a good job in portraying the depressed prasoon. The characters played by indrans , shammi thilakan makes the first half interesting. The way prasoon tries to adjust with the rural people and embarrassing moments with his elder sister (unnimaya Prasad) is so good and so real..

Yes, the first half is interesting. But towards the end ,it's disappointing. The ending seems rushed and i think the ending sucks... So I gave 7 stars... I want to appreciate the use of animals in the movie..ah.yes the name itself is paltu janwars. Animal lovers ,look closely you could find hidden animals in various scenes. And the song at end is such a masterpiece.

Seriously i saw this movie just because of 8.8 rating but this is not true nothing special in this movie get bored in first half i thought second half will be better than first half but it was useless

The film starts off well, and then collapses miserably in the second half. The premise, the people, their problems really helped make the first half more convincing. The second half was more of a stretched version to prove the mettle of the protagonist, to give the character much needed high, and that leads to a bigger issue of characterisation.

The protagonist is weak in every aspects, the initial graph builds up very well and then it strays and leads us to a place where I was wondering what was this movie all about. I felt the protagonist did not led me to any particular emotion where I can connect, everything looked superficial, even his qualms, his humiliation, his sudden spark of anger, all of these came out very casual without any empathy element, probably that could lead us to another aspect, the treatment.

While most Malayalam production houses try and fail to gauge what the audience wants, the folks at Bhavana Studios seem intent on telling unique, high-concept yet salt-of-the-earth stories and trust the audience to rise to meet the challenge the content throws at them. The dream trio behind this elite production house-Dileesh Pothan, Fahadh Faasil and Shyam Pushkaran come up with their third rousing entertainer on the trot, with the immensely enjoyable "Paltu Janwar", a heartwarming coming of age story that will leave you with an ear-to-ear grin as you leave the cinema hall.

Basil Joseph has fast become a mainstay in Malayalam entertainment, both as a director and as an actor. After having established a new benchmark on what can be achieved within the confined of Mollywood with his awe-inspiring directorial "Minnal Murali (2021)", he backed that up with his stellar lead performance in the smash hit "Jan. E. Man", one of the movies of 2021. We catch him in "Paltu Janwar" as a disillusioned young livestock inspector, forced by circumstances to take up a job he has no interest in, that too in a remote village. The many obstacles that he faces as he comes to terms with his new environment and the many funny mishaps that ensue form the rest of this delightful feel-good comedy-drama.

Johny Antony proves yet again that he is a force to be reckoned with as far as character acting in Malayalam is concerned, with a heartfelt, natural performance as "Devis", a troubled farmer desperately trying to make ends meet with his meager livestock. It was also a joy to see Indrans return to his comic avatar after a string of serious roles and the veteran knocks it out of the park as usual with his delectable turn as "Member Kochu George". Dileesh Pothan, Sruthy Suresh and Shammi Thilakan further shine in their supporting roles in a film that gets its casting spot on.

Director Sangeeth P Rajan shows no signs of being a debutante, weaving an immensely relatable tale of the unavoidable twists and turns that life takes you on and the unexpected relationships and experiences that shape the journey therein. It is commendable how Bhavana Studios finds success in such diverse genres, first with the quirky family drama "Kumbalangi Nights (2019)", then with the psychological thrills of "Joji (2021)" and now the joyful "Palthu Janwar". Cannot wait to see what they come up with next. Highly recommended!

Basil Joseph is the main attraction. Every supporting cast did their best at performance including Shammi Thilakan, Johny Antony,Dileesh Pothen, Indrans.

Many youngsters can relate to protagonist as he is doing a job that doesn't satisfy him.

One thing that is very appreciable is the length of this movie,if it exceeded 2 hour duration there may be pacing issues but the crew managed to do it under 2 hour

They should have put more efforts to conclude sub plots rather than the climax because they were very much important for the movie.

You can leave the theatre with smile on your face.

As a meat eater I feel hypocritical by saying this 'All lives matter'

I think movie was short and a bit boring to be honest. Probably because I watched with family and paid close to $100. First half looked like a promising comedy. Second half mostly boring. Even the kids song at the end was boring.

When I went to watch I thought given Basil is actor there will be a lot of comedy. Surprisingly there wasn't much. Shammi Thillkan role looked pretty good and lot of comedy but his was a short role.

I liked the scenery and the village like ambience. Songs were pretty ordinary.

May be it would have made sense to watch myself before taking family. I never review but I think I lost money here. So thought of reviewing. Thanks for reading if you made it this far and sorry if I made you feel bad.
