Ganesh Raj (Aanandam director)
Njandukalude Naattil Oridavela has gone straight to my list of all time favourite Malayalam films. Such is the honesty, sincerity and sheer talent on display. The film takes quite a serious subject and effectively makes it light-hearted and fun. But at no point is the graveness of the situation lost on us the audience. Thr screenplay is smart, the direction super confident, the music path breaking, the editing spot on and the cinematography so so soothing. Nivin Etta, as someone who has worked with you on 5 films, I must say you keep putting the screenplay first and everything else second and that is your greatest strength, you were sublime as usual. Althaf ikka, thank you for inspiring me. George Kora, if this is how you start, I can't wait to see what you have in store. I could go on and on about this film, but I can sum it up all by saying that I wish I was part of that family, I wish I could take setbacks in life like they did, I wish life was this positive. Go watch Njandu, it's a life affirming fairytale and in this day and age where negativity fills every corner of media space that's a welcome change. #Njandonam. PS: Loved the little nod to Godfather [sic]
Geetu Mohan Das watched the first-day first show of Njandukalude ... with the cast and crew of the film and said that Nivin will be looking in a completely different avatar from his comfort zone in his upcoming movie Moothon.
After a long time saw a FDFS of a film - Njandugalde naatil oru edevela with their cast and crew . A group of young talented guys brimming with excitement and anticipation. Their energy is infectious. I want to congratulate the team for their stupendous success at the box office. Now more than ever I can't wait for people to see Nivin in a completely opposite avatar from his comfort zone in MOOTHON....[sic].
Actor Sunny Wayne seems to be impressed with the comeback of yesteryear actress Shanthi Krishna, who is back to acting career after a long gap of almost 22 years.
