Rave reviews and a stellar cast are surely the best ingredients to allure you to watch a movie, and that is exactly what pulled me to watch this one. It is the story of an ailing husband who succumbs to death, leaving behind his wife and mother. The delay in burying him due to floods brings out hidden truths, lies, and the complexity of relationships to the forefront. On the surface, it may look like a simple tale, but it has multiple layers that draw you in. The screenplay is tight and helps you understand the intent behind every action taken by the characters. The best part about the movie is that everyone is right in their perspective, yet everyone can be called wrong if you switch on the societal compass. Legendary actress Urvashi is a force to reckon with when it comes to acting. She still is the best and delivers a standout performance. The emotional turmoil she faces comes across naturally through her facial expressions. Parvathy Thiruvothu is another example of an exemplary actress, and she proves it yet again. Prasanth Murali, even with limited screen presence, does well. Captain of the ship, Christi Tomy, creates an immersive experience for viewers where silence speaks volumes. The cinematography is another brilliantly done aspect, with picturesque frames that captivate you. It is not your run-of-the-mill story; rather, you get to see a progressive story set in a small village in Kerala. Get ready to watch a movie that is slow yet highly engaging. Don't miss this gem at any cost and be ready to watch never seen before relationship between daughter in law and mother in law. #pranureviews #Ullozhukku #UllozhukkuReview.

Ullozhukil has an irreplaceable performance by actress Urvashi, who is sure to be in the top three in the list of unlikely best actresses in Malayalam. Known for her somewhat loud roles and performances, the film features her muted portrayal. For her to portray the inner conflict of a mother with the same intensity but without being over-emotional. One of the best actresses of our generations ... Glad to see Parvathy back after a long break as Anju she is edgy and full of power.... playing her role with such impact... Ullozhukk is a film that marks the directorial craft of Cristo Tomi, who gained attention with Curry and Cyanide... Without letting his characters loose for the hyper-emotional storyline...While rain and silence are often used to connect the audience with the film... It is a picture taken in a way that makes it unreal. A film that is calm on the outside but on the inside is a tidal wave of emotional conflict. The film leaves the audience confused as to who to stand with... Even as the film's characters travel through the climax of uncertainty and finally reach the shores of serenity, the audience will be left unanswered like a dead corpse... Sushin Shyam has got a feather on his hat again... He has proved that he can shoulder music for any genres...The Background score was so soothing and blended well along with the heavy downpour... Shehnad Jalal's hands behind the camera was top notch and the way he captured the real beauty of Kuttanad and the hardships of the people in monsoon... This is by far the best portrayal of characters and their complexity and having to deal with the emotion and consequences of their actions...Hollywood should take notes on how to write a feminist movie. The way they call out society and people's mentality is so subtle yet so strong. You cannot hate or love any character. They are simple people living their very real life with their own motivations and justifications...

Absorbing and emotional Drama at its Best ! Powerhouse performances of urvashi & Parvathy Thiruvothu ;they both lived as their characters and delivered a Fabulous experience ! Music by Sushin Syam added to movie's Strength and Excellent direction from christo tomy !!! All technical department did a very good work ; cinematography ,editing and artwork ,all are in top standards and commendable performance from rest of the cast too !! In one sentence i can say about this movie is " a Outstanding drama deserved to be Experience it from Theater " go watch it cinemas near you !!!! Good one good one.

Parvathy Thiruvothu, her versatile acting skills n ability to portray a wide range of characters she brings depth and emotion to the character. She is the only woman who have guts to choose scripts like ullozhukku, Maryan, Uyare, ennu ninte moideen, poo etc She is a real lady superstar in this generation. Ullozhukku a great drama is the tactful writing, which becomes evident within a few seconds into the film Urvasi, she is one the greatest master in Indian cinema. The actress shows her tremendous range ability to carry a film and screen presence in a story where she is largely required to be a grieving mother.

In my opinion, a movie is best delivered when you don't feel there's a medium separating you from the characters. It should feel real, like you're just watching your neighbors through a different lens. This film achieves that with a beautiful narrative and excellent writing, handling the angst and responses of the two main characters, Parvathy and Urvashi, so well that you gradually slip into their world. You can't imagine anyone else performing these roles; the two great actresses truly lived these characters. The only take away from the movie was the bgm and the performance of every cast in this movie. People who really like a serial type of movie which have over emotions and all that things will surely like the movie but for me whatever type of movie it is, the movie should not be boring rather it should be engaging. And for me ullozhukku wasn't engaging.

Who determines the boundaries of the freedom of women? Everyone will say that it wasn't in the past and now there are no areas where women can't reach because they have the freedom to choose what they want. In fact, the fences of the freedoms granted by the society do not change whether they are old or new. If a girl speaks out loud, she automatically becomes the ruler of her husband/family. Leelamma had dreams! Anju has come together at the last stage of Leelamma's life journey where everyone has decided that children and family are the world. But even Leelamma is not able to recognize the desires of the Anju girl. Have we not seen parents who consider it their biggest responsibility to hold a girl's hand when a girl is born, except in movies and in everyday life? Even today, our general society has not been able to claim a big change due to this mindset. From the stories he grew up hearing when he was a child A life that is only transplanted into the world of responsibilities. Desires to adapt to the living environment, sighs rising to the darkness. She'll show us that she's happy by taking off the veil of a smiley face that makes up for it all. If she explodes at least once in a while, she will be self-righteous and if questioned, she will become a feminist. And if you show your love to someone else, the problem will be worse. Someone compared Leelamma and Anju's performance (I didn't see Urvashi and Parvathy) and I didn't feel the same way. I saw a mother and daughter-in-law living in a water-logged house in Kuttanad, their grievances, resistances, small dreams, and the inner currents of their minds. Every now and then I get asked some questions from male superiors that I can't answer. I also need to change and understand the people around me more. They still need to speak up. There is no hope that films can change lives, but if they can change mindsets and shed some light, then the makers of the film have undoubtedly succeeded. As I left the theater with my mind reeling with the answers I had left to say, so were those in the packed audience with the same expression on their faces. It can be said that the script of a movie is the first cornerstone of a movie. Big budget Bollywood producer Ronnie Screwvala must have realized the glory of the screenplay that won the first place in a competition to select the best screenplays in India. Just google the movies produced by his production company. It is not necessary to say that the camera has really captured the natural beauty of Kuttanad, but when the mood of the people of Kuttanad gets dark, when we hear the weather warning, it also pours a lot of mind to us. It also made the audience feel like "If only this damn rain would fall". With two of India's best actresses in his hands and a screenplay to bring out their excellence, Captain Christo Tommy has put exactly what he has in mind in front of the audience. And none of the actors made it worse. Jaya Kurup, Prashant Murali and Alencier are all good. Every movie is a happy ending, Nothing is the end of nothing. Nothing is the beginning of something new Those who don't realize will be sad Those who realize will be happy That's life! Jees Kaitaram.

Great direction and screenplay, but the climax was a bit easy to guess. Urvashi absolutely stole the show with her phenomenal acting, and Parvathy gave her some serious competition! Both actresses were phenomenal. The movie is filled with talented actors and natural scenes that really draw you in. The emotional moments were beautifully done, and the BGM perfectly complemented. My only gripe? The hero's ask at the end felt forced just to reach the climax. It was a bit unnecessary and the only real letdown in an otherwise satisfying movie. Overall, a great addition to the genre! Great acting and a movie to remember 🙏

Ullozhukku is achingly beautiful, so bittersweet and it a poignant tale of empathy and human connection amidst rising waters. I want to appreciate director Christo Tomy for using rain in "Ullozhukku," not merely as a backdrop, but as a pervasive force. It evokes a sense of suffocating discomfort, yet possesses a strange, melancholic beauty - a perfect metaphor for the lives of the central characters, Leelamma (Urvashi), a deeply religious woman, and her daughter-in-law Anju (Parvathy). The narrative takes a dramatic turn with the death of Leelamma's son, Thomaskutty. However, the unforgiving rain adds more to the emotional turmoil within the household as the funeral is delayed creating a ripple effect. The waterlogged setting is established masterfully, forcing the characters to confront their secrets as truth surfaces. This sets the stage for a deeply bittersweet humane drama. Despite its weighty themes, Ullozhukku avoids sensationalism. The score, particularly the scene at the interval, perfectly capturing nature of the unfolding drama. In one of my favourite scenes, Parvathy and Urvashi confronting their grief before Thomaskutty's coffin, bathed in the bleak glow, is a masterclass in emotional storytelling. The final sequences lingering in the cemetery followed by the departing boat deserves a standing ovation. This scene sums up director Christo Tomy's ability to navigate emotional complexities with grace and depth. This film might be big yawn for those accustomed to only popcorn masala flicks and it is definitely for the acquired taste with discerning palate. But this is the kind of movie that passionate cinephiles must support and SPREAD THE WORD. A silent bow to the director, the cinematographer, the music director, and the entire crew for gifting us this poetic gem.
