ChattambiNaadu - Mass Entertainer

The man has always been supreme in handling different dialects and getups and this time too he doesn't disappoint you.Mammootty as Virendra Mallaya in Chattambi Naadu puts in another performance to elevate the level of an otherwise average and tried plot.

Chattambi naadu is a small village which got named so from chembattu naadu ,courtesy the goondas dwelling there.Virendra Mallaya(Mammootty) gets himselves involved in the issues between the two major families in chttambinaadu and there starts the fun ride with the kannada - mallu languaged goonda Mallaya.The whole plot seems to have popped up from the character Mammotty played in Adoor's Vidheyan -Bhaskara Patelar.

Mammootty excels as usual with his looks style and dialogue delivery and steals the show whenever present on screen.Suraj-Salim kumar combo delivers exactly whats expected of them in such a entertainer movie.The heroine part by Laxmi rai does very little and even worse is the role of Maithili as her sister.If Palerimanikkyam did not give her much of a scope to perform,Chattambi doesnt provide her even a chance to utter a dialog.Other casts puts in decent efforts to live along the movie.Shafi deserves credit in having narrated a very average story in a racy manner with lots of fun ,heroism and other mass elements.Benny with his script dissappoints witha plot that has the shades of many previous mammootty movies.Songs are ok considering the mood of the movie.

Chattambinaadu is another fun ride in the likes of Annan thambi,Thommanum Makkalum and Mayavi.Out and out entertainment for 2 hours.Enjoy.
