Pattanthil Bhootham -Review

Mammootty's recently released 'Ee Pattanathil Bhootham's director Johnny Antony can derive satisfaction from his work. After all, in his second flick with the mega star,the much hyped E Pattaanthil bhootham the Fantasy thriller ,Johny has succeeded in fashioning a film that caters to the palate of not only Mammootty fans but others as well.The best thing about 'E Pattaanthil Bhootham' is that it has no pretensions to being a serious movie. The intent is clearly to entertain child. And the film is eminently successful in that mission. You leave the theatre in a happy-go-lucky frame of mind after watching the movie made under the commercial masala format for childrens.

The story is about a friendly ghost's relation with Jimmy who is a bike jumper in a Circus and how the ghost helps him to solve some crisis in Jimmy's life.Other characters are Ancy (Kavya) , daughter of circus manager Philipose (Janaradhanan), Jimmy's foster father Krishnettan (Innocent), friend Sisupalan ( Suraaj) etc..Mammootty carries the film on his broad shoulders single-handedly. It is a Mammootty show all the way, particularly in comic scenes, even his sound for ghost is better in some parts and failed in some time.

The supporting cast comprising Suraj Venjaramude, Innocent and Salim Kumar, plays the second fiddle competently. Kavya has nothing much to do except appear beautiful in fancy clothes and act coy.the other cast like Rajan P Dev, Suresh Krishna, Undda Pakru & Bindu Panicker as usual performed well.
Script by Sibi.K.Thomas - Uday Krishna lacks luster and is even presented with less believability. But the festival moods all through and added masalas will definitely bring in good numbers of takers which is evident before all release centers now. Shan Rehman's music meshes well with the mood of levity that animates the movie. Utpal V Nayanar's , contribution with visuals suit for the fantasy movie. The highlight of the film is the brisk pace & colorful presentation by which the director Johny Antony passes through the events without lending time to think about the other loopy crass.

Verdict: Go For Child!
