Would you like to exchange your mobile phone with someone you care about for a day? The lead couple in Pradeep Ranganathan's second film, Uttaman Pradeep (Pradeep Ranganathan) and Nikita (Ivana), are married by their father. forced like a clever ruse to pull the . And it works. A couple who keep saying cheesy lines such as "Enaku unna pathi ellam theriyum, baby (I know all about you, baby)" realizes the truth one day.
How Niketha still keeps in touch with her ex-boyfriend whom she affectionately calls "Mama Kutty" and how Uttaman Pradeep approaches her for her short film on the pretext of a woman. Such as continuing to sneak into DM. As they delve deeper into each other's phone calls, trust issues creep in and their relationship is called into question. Unfold in the center.
Also, the film feels more like a series of scenes than a seamless story. Even scripts are segmented. The first half is about Ivana revealing her secrets, and then we turn to Pradeepus, which works well because the humor resonates perfectly with our pop-her culture. Maybe that's why it feels like you're watching a funny YouTube channel, but it's still YouTube. Characters also serve a single purpose. Take Ravi for example, I'm sorry, but Revi's character's purpose is to deny "boys' vests."
“Fun…fun…” a catchphrase of sorts in the film also happens to be an apt description of the film, where every problem is dealt with in a rather juvenile fashion and receive shallow solutions. The film conveniently deals only with softcore issues that are palatable for the mainstream audience. Pradeep doesn’t actually cheat, he just flirts. Nikitha was just helping her distressed ex-boyfriend by going on a car ride with him. Things get whitewashed as we see only the deleted chats and hidden conversations. But what about their search history, their kinks, and our truths that only our mobile phones know? Maybe, those are too dark for this film, which wants to end on a rosy note.
The movie may want to be modern at its core, but there's a Boomer-esque vibe that seems to be at its core. The film insists on embracing the idea that the heroine has other men as friends, but views on such relationships are outdated.It doesn't look at hero and heroine through the same lens. After all, he's just another "Mommy's Boy" and she's "Daddy's Little Princess". I wish this movie was just one long series of comedy sequences instead of turning into a moral science class like Komari did.
