Pathemari Its A tribute to Malayalis who leave home to go work in the Middle East to bring a better life to their families, #Mammukka just lived as Pallickal Narayanan. Undoubtedly, it is one of the best performances.. hats off to the director Salim Ahamed and entire cast n crew for this heart touching movie ..

Sreedhar Pillai - Trade Analyst

#Pathemari 3.25/5. Good.Plight of a man who goes 2 gulf, becomes a cash cow 4 his family & relatives told in realistic way by #Salim Ahamd. @mammukka is outstanding as Pallikal Narayanan, guy who sacrifices everything 4 family. He lives the role, C it 4 him. Among supporting cast liked Joy Mathew, Siddique & Sreenivasan. Drawback is docu drama feel in narration & predictability
