The direction could have been more intrusive the characters seems like they improvised a lot, which is not always a good thing. Mr Joseph should know that his unschooled protagonist fails at playing life this time because maybe education is after all important. Humor is a relief, but relying on puns and slapstick is not artistic anymore. My 3-year old niece does better make-up, but she's not as funny as some of the characters in the film. Nevertheless, the way the film is executed using cliché, is what sabotages the whole shindig. Conveying this specific point, mostly to Malayalis who are obsessed with Gulf, is the only thing the film achieves during its 57 hours of running time. How living far away from the people close to you can be the source of pain, and by the time you realize what you're missing, it's too late. The film primarily talks about how detachment affects people's lives. Characters are introduced nicely, but all we want to focus about is Josutty getting lucky with any one of the eligible characters. Songs are thrown at you like Hussain used to throw paint at his canvases. Why don't people just hire Jomon T John? If the draggy start doesn't put you to sleep, the never-ending second act definitely will. Believe me, the cinematography is so bad, it might give you epilepsy. Shaky, robotic shots, weird close-ups, more focus on the locations than the characters, and plain restlessness. Before I talk more about anything else, I want to inform you that throughout the film the only thing I wondered was if the camera was being handled by an infant. However, his beggarly background poses a threat, and then ironically and manipulatively, he marries a money machine and flies to New Zealand hoping to make babies. Brought up in a poor, lousy environment, all that Josutty wants from life is to marry his childhood sweetheart (Narayanankutty) and get laid. He comes from a poor family whose head talks like he is Aristotle. After a gymnastic performance by the cameraman through the valleys of high-range Kattappana, the story about a 6th grade failure named Josutty (Dileep) begins. The actor effortlessly transforms as Josutty, the villager in the first half and the makeover he has gone through in the second half.Let this be a lesson for people who expect astronomy from a man who just got lucky with his magnum opus. The movie takes a turn when he goes to New Zealand after his marriage and a self-realization process that follows is presented in an engaging manner.ĭileep looks perfectly fit into the gown of Josutty. It is a microscopic evaluation of the realities in Josutty’s life, his experiences and the uncertainties he faces at home. Josutty has a father, mother and two sisters.Īs the title suggests, this is Jeethu’s most character centric movies. But, his way of life contradicts with the ways of the world at times and the story revolves around some of such situations. He finds happiness and satisfaction in following his father’s footsteps. Josutty is a cool guy who is an ardent follower of his idealistic father’s ways and views on life. Life of Josutty chronicles 30 years in the life of a villager, Josutty, played by Dileep.

This is Dileep-Jeethu team’s second project after the hilarious My Boss in 2012. Director Jeethu Joseph looks energized after thrillers Drishyam and Papanasam and in lighter mode. The movie aims to hook a family audience and well packed with all the ingredients.

Like the trailer claimed, the movie lack twists and suspense, but it is a perfect family pack with a solid script. Dileep and Jeethu Joseph arrived with their latest offering Life of Josutty.
