Georgettan's Pooram movie review: Light like a festival

Though the basic story is an interesting one, the makers have tried to incorporate a love track too, and rather needlessly.

Director: K. Biju

Cast: Dileep, Rejisha Vijayan, Vinay Forrt, Sharaf U Dheen, Renji Panicker

Going by the premise that film is essentially a medium to entertain the audience, Georgettan’s Pooram is a good entertainer and will certainly not bore you.

George Vadakkan is the elder son of Church vicar Mathew Vadakkan. Though Mathew wanted to make his son a bishop, the latter did not oblige his father, knowing well that it would rid him of married life. From his school days, George, along with his close friends Vava (Vinay Fortt), Pallan (Sharf U Dheen) and Chullan (Thiru), spend their spare time at Mathai ground in his locality. It was actually a two-acre land given to the church by an international Kabbadi player Mathai, for the betterment of sports in the area. Though the land was allotted for this purpose, no such activities take place there.

For George and his friends, it is nothing less than a second home. They in fact decide what should or should not happen in the ground. The plot thickens when Peter, who claims to be the son of late Mathai, comes in order to sell the property.

Of course the highlight of the film is the presence of the hero Dileep and his talent in delivering comic dialogues. The film seems to be a return for the star to his forte after the hit flick Two Countries. In the past, he has been criticised for the double entendre. When it comes to Georgettan’s…, there are no such dialogues. He gets good support from his co-stars, especially Sharf and Vinay. Though they are just side characters, they could come up with good performances. K. Biju, who wields the megaphone after a gap of around six years, also has done a brilliant job. Screenwriter Y.V. Rajesh has come up with interesting dialogues.

Though the basic story is an interesting one, the makers have tried to incorporate a love track too, and rather needlessly.

Cinemtographer Vinod Illampally and music director Gopi Sunder have helped the director make Georgettan’s Pooram an above average family entertainer.
