What you should know about ‘Ashakal Aayiram’
‘Ashakal Aayiram’ marks real-life father-son duo Jayaram and Kalidas’ in Malayalam, decades after films like ‘Kochu Kochu Santhoshangal’. The film is helmed by G Prajith, best known for his previous films, Nivin Pauly-starrer ‘Oru Vadakkan Selfie’ and Biju Menon-starrer ‘Sathyam Paranja Viswasikkuvo’. Starring Jayaram and Kalidas, the film also has actors Asha Sharath, Ishani Krishna, and Sharafudheen in lead roles. The feel-good comedy entertainer, revolves around a young man aspiring to become an actor.
TOI has ranked the film 3 out of 5, and the review reads, “Directed by G Prajith, the film relies strongly on a sense of ‘throwback’ charm. It tries to recreate the light-hearted family atmosphere seen in Jayaram’s popular films. Written by Jude Anthany Joseph and Aravind Rajendran, the screenplay follows a familiar pattern of middle-class problems and situational humour. The film works mainly because it allows Jayaram (Hariharan) to play to his strengths and evoke nostalgia. For example, the widely trolled BGM and Jayaram’s famous expression as Major Sreekumar are used wisely here, bringing the theatre down with laughter. However, it does not offer much that feels new or surprising.”DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers and data in this article are compiled from diverse public and industry sources.
