Elsamma Enna Aankutty --- Aimed at the families

Elsamma enna Aankutty

Laal Jose ,the most talented of the new era directors of malayalam cinema is here with the story of Elsamma a bold village girl from Balan pilla city.Elsamma plsayed from debutant Ann Augustine has the support of the whole village except for some the corrupted minds of her village.Elsamma is the sole bread winner for her family after her fathers demise.In the process she restrains herself from committing her love to paalunni (Kunchakko).Paalunni too loves Elsamma and seeks help of Paappan(nedumudi) to convey his wish to marry her.Paalunni's Plang's go haywire with the arrival of Paappan's grandson Aby (Indrajith).

Ann performs credibly as the central character without any fuzziness of a beginner.Kunchako's character is well executed and steals the love of the audience.Indrajith performs well as the flirty youngster.Nedumudi,KPAC,Vijayaraaghavan etc as usual ensured the integrity of their characters.Jagathy was able to bring some laughter among the viewrs.Suraaj wasnt over used.The duet songs looked forced into and could have been avoided.
Plotted against the beatiful backdrops of thodupuzha Elsamma too shows glimpses of the midas touch of Lal Jose (thanks to the cameraman too) in several scenes.

Though not as absorbing as his previous bench marked super hits,Elsamma is a simple movie with a neat narration from Lal Jose,which might be more preferred by the families this ramzan.
