KARYASTHAN ---- Formulastic Slapstick

Udayapuram Sultaan from Uday Sibi starring Dileep told the tale of two rival families with dileep trying to unite the two.He falls in love with the girl of the family and finally helps uniting the two families through some hilarious confusion dramas. The same teams Kaaryasthan tells the same story with very minute mutations from the original.Infact some of the characters too could be related. Salim kumaar (karyasthan) - jagathi (Udayapuram Sultan)

Uday sibi redefines entertainment - Slapstick dialogs + poor script + tamil style intros, fights and bgms + getting rid of the baddie (somehow ,so that the hero isnt taken to jail) in a flash in the climax.....!!!!

Dileep has tried to play it safe opting for his safer domain of movies like karyasthan.He tries some action gimmicks too, which doesn't strike well though.He looked out of sorts in the songs and wasn't given enough space in his own comedy department.Infact suraaj dons the comedy plot of the movie.Though at times irritating, it is some of his oneliners that seems to win over the viewers.Salim kumaar looking tired these days, could not find his body language syncing to his comic timing.He was better in the second half though.Janaardhanans character came out well.Harisree asokan had nothing to do.The newbie Akhila looks good on screen and displays her dancing skills well.Siddique,Suresh krishna,shammi thilakan etc were typical .The rest of the cast has minimal to offer.Music was below par in most of the songs.The debutant director does a pretty neat job when it comes to picturisation, but to me he fails in karyasthan as he couldnt give anything new,not even a shot that was unseen, in his 1st venture.Even Farahkhans Mein Hoona end credits wasn't spared.

Uday Sibi should try their hands in tamil where they would be offered more for their kind of cinemas.This would also help preserve the enviable legacy of malayalm cinema.

Below average slapstick crap after pokkiriraaja. --- Now thats what we call entertaiment.No surprise if it would end up making profits. 2/5.
