Jeethu Joseph’s love for uncut aerial shots becomes too excessive in the case of Life of Josutty. Saju Navodaya, Nobi and Suraj have done their stereo type roles nicely.For the first time I saw Hareesh Perady struggling with a character. I don’t know the name of the actress who portrayed the role of Priya, but she was good in her role.
Jyothi Krishna wasn’t that comfortable in delivering certain emotionally heavy dialogs. Rachana Narayanankutty has only a brief role in the film. The down to earth phase and the matured phase of Josutty were portrayed nicely by the actor. In a way Josutty utilizes the actor in him impressively. On screen, Dileep was good in his character. But after a brisk period’s clever mix of life and humor, script from Rajesh Varma goes in to that clumsy drama which with all its clichés and theatrical feel drags the movie to an uninteresting zone. The second half luckily has some areas where the hero gets to see life and the kind of humor we have seen in Jeethu’s own My Boss makes those portions enjoyable. I am not saying I didn’t laugh at these instances, but the “life” aspect of the content wasn’t working. It is one of those situations where the only relief is the sort of gimmicks performed by actors like Suraj Venjaramood, Saju Navodaya and Nobi. You have this first love story of Josutty happening in a swift way and the kind of confused mix of humor, cheesy drama and preaching will mostly bore you. The first half of the movie struggles a lot to get in the right track.
The incidents that change the illiterate and orthodox Josutty to a better matured man are what the film trying to narrate.
The movie focuses mainly on the life of Josutty after his marriage with a nurse Rose, settled in New Zealand. The relationship didn’t culminate in a marriage because of the financial liabilities of Josutty. Josutty who skipped school after the 6 th standard was in love with a girl Jessy from his neighborhood.
