After Jawan of Vellimala, director Anoop Kannan is back with HOMELY MEALS written and lead character done by Vipin Atley, who shot to fame years back with a film based programe called INTERVAL on Jeevan TV and later Kairali TV.




Story
Its about a person who wants to be part of TV or Cinema field, his struggle, betrayal, experiences, family experiences, friends played by Vipin Atley. We may feel like its his personal experience while making the programme INTERVAL for the TV channel.

Performances
Vipin Atley was natural and given a sincere performance. Srinda is surely an actress to stay here. Manoj K Jayan's SharathChandran character could have been better which went overboard. Kailash, after Neelathaamara performed well in his role. Neeraj Madhav was superb. Sudheer Karamana proved in his cameo that he's one of the best character artist in this generation. Babu Antony as himself in his cameo though exaggerated was superb. Nedumudi Venu did a fine job. Jugru, the Monkeypen kid rocked in Interval portion.

Newcomers were too good. The one who played Josappan is sure to stay in Malayalam Cinema, his eyes speaks a lot.

Songs & BGM
Both suits well with the movie. Bhoomiyil Theme song was a superb one which is the anthem of the movie. BGM FOR LALAN - "Lala Lala" from Vandanam simply rocked.
Technical

Art direction was good. Cinematography was good in songs sequences. Editing could have been better especially in first half.

Script & Direction
Script by Vipin Atley which we may feel like its his biography. Scenes were natural, dialogues to. First half wa a tad lengthy till he second epsiode making. That one was one brilliantly executed item - especially Babu Antony's and Shakeela's crying scene. Second half was a above first half especially Neeraj episode and climax portions were well written and executed. But there are scenes which we may find out of the box or forced ones especially poorly written Manoj K Jayan's characterisation and some comedy scenes. And those who have no idea about the programme INTERVAL may find a bit difficult to adjust with the movie as everything starts all of a sudden than taking its own time to introduce and start the plot.

Anoop Kannan made a product which looks far superior to his debut venture. He did a good job. Interval and climax portions were neatly exeuted.

Overall eventhough negatives are there, the movie never disappoints and being a newcomer's venture in script area, its a commendable work.


Verdict : Enjoyable
