Movie Review Puthiya Niyamam 2016 Film

Thrillers can surprise you in different ways.There are seat edge thrillers that hold you in thrall from beginning to end with a gripping narrative.Then there are slow burners like Puthiya Niyamam which looks sedate for most parts only to spring to life with supreme vigour towards the end.And last impression can leave a lasting impression in the mind.It is not as if A.K.Sajan is a novice as to be unaware of the pitfalls of leaving things a bit too late.In Puthiya Niyamam he shows remarkable panache in stitching together a thriller of topical relevance and he invests a lot in his conviction about the strength of the basic plot that he has at his disposal.

On the surface Puthiya Niyamam is pretty much an ordinary movie especially in the manner it which unfolds by resorting to usual methods of elaboration.The film takes its own sweet time to mark its identity as we see Advocate Louis Pothen (Mammootty)and his wife Vasuki (Nayanthara) go through the ups and downs in a normal married life.Belonging to different religions and ideologies Louis and Vasuki are attached to each other and their only daughter Chintha is their world.If Louis is a dashing and outgoing advocate who is multifaceted Vasuki comes across as a brooding and protective mother.There are intimations about what is in store with Vasuki looking possessed and troubled by something mysterious.

RATING - 2.5 / 5 - PASSABLE THRILLER.
