SENIORS --Colourful entertainer

College stories have always drawn attention in malluwood especially when the Cast and crew is as big in Seniors,one couldnt be blamed for expecting a rocking entertainer...and thankfully the 4 Seniors delivers almost the same.

Seniors by Vysakh( pokkiriraja) tells the story of four friends (Jayaram,Biju menon,Kunchakko and Manoj k jayan) who had to halt their studies due to incident in their college life and then after 12 years deciding to return back to the campus.The sole intention of this being to unravel the mystery behind the tragedy years back.The thread seems similar to classmates but is executed well enough that you wouldnt be always worried about the same.The fun filled first half ensures that.

The second half though initially resorted to some slapstick routine scenes with the hostel stuff,the movie regained momentum with the suspense taking the toll.Though the suspense is a predictable one,the climax was plotted out very well.Do not wish to go more into it as it would be better on screen.

The 4 Seniors were really effective as they won the hearts of the viewers tight from their intro.Biju menon handles most of the comedies and has come out excellently well enough.Manoj was cool in some of his comedies,while in others he almost went over the top.Jayaramas usual was at his very best with his comedies and emtional scenes.Kunchakko puts to display why he is one among the most improved actors of this period.Suraj was as usual.Siddiques role identical to balachandra menons in Classmates was a cake walk.Padmapriya,ananya,jyohika etc gels in well.

Music sounded good on first hear.Kudos to Vysakh in for his pacy narration and colourful shots.Script by sachi sethu is good enough though some characters and situations have already appeared the silver screen before.

One the whole one of the better entertainers of these days.
