Vishal Menon Film Companion It explores an excellent idea for such a comedy with one particularly important detail that often seems to have been left behind when a marriage...

Geetha Very entertaining. Had a wonderful time Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/26/24 Full Review Sruthi S Worst movie. Forced comedy. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/28/24 Full Review MOHAMMED S 🍿🍿Family Entertainment Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/14/24 Full Review arvind s Sometimes I just don't get why Malayalee audiences are their own biggest enemies. It is very difficult to please a Malayalee. Given the number of good movies that we have got this year, the standard has gone up so much so that movies like Guruvayoor Ambalanadayil are getting tagged overrated and intolerable. For me, I am enjoying the Malayalam films this year, even the so-called mediocre ones (including Malayalee from India).  "Vinu has finally agreed to get married after a bad breakup. His soon to be brother-in-law, Anand has become his best friend. When Vinu volunteers to solve Anand's marital issues, his own marriage enters a state of flux." Prior to release, director Vipin Das (Antakshari, Jaya Jaya Jaya Jaya Hey) did mention that he doesn't like tackling the same genre again. Thus, the stark difference between his dark Antakshari and his latest. Guruvayoor Ambalanadayil is different from his previous film as well given how the movie doesn't take itself seriously. He isn't trying to deliver any message with this one. The performances are brilliant with every character getting their due. Basil Joseph & Prithviraj Sukumaran's chemistry is the highlight of the movie & I loved their comic timing. The second half gives out Priyadarshan vibes given the amount of confusion going around and thus, the side characters take centre stage as we head towards a very chaotic climax that is staged at a custom built Guruvayoor set with Aju Varghese crooning for effect.  Yes, I agree Nikhila Vimal's character gets the short end of the stick and that may stay with the viewers well after the movie. The makers could have done away with certain elements to give her a better arc. But all in all, Guruvayoor Ambalanadayil is an entertaining movie that will have you smiling throughout.
