Storyline

Kunchacko plays Rameshan, a college professor whose first marriage doesn’t survive even a day when his wife elopes. Upon the arrival of a new guest professor called Padmini to Rameshan’s college, he is able to finally fulfil his romantic goals. But Rameshan has a legal obstacle to clear before he can even start thinking about getting married again.

Rameshan, a college professor by day and poet by night, finds his life at a halt when a humiliating incident makes him the punchline to everyone’s jokes.

Review

The film’s ability to make its audience laugh while yet dealing with serious issues like trauma and societal poisoning is a testament to its versatility. Senna Hedge, the director, lived up to expectations.

#Padmini (Malayalam|2023) – NETFLIX.

Interesting & Refreshing Idea frm Senna Hedge. Neat Perf frm Kunjako, Aparna, Vincy. Gud BGM & Songs. Fun here & there. Inconsistent Narration & Weak Characterizatn. Most Humour scenes r flat. No Emotional Connect. Poor Climax. BELOW AVERAGE! pic.twitter.com/mjb0ybX5jv

Rameshan is a likeable protagonist because of Kunchacko Boban’s professional experiences. Padmini is played by Madonna Sebastian, who gives a stellar performance as the character.

Many comedic moments were inspired by the aesthetic surroundings. The comedic scene with Sajin and Mani Shornur is excellent and works well with the tone of the piece. Jakes Bejoy’s score matched the tone of the film well.

The film has believable parallels to actual life. The climax is a little intense, but the comedy is at its highest point. However, the story is held together by Deepu Pradeep’s script.

The finale isn’t as funny as the rest of the movie, especially considering how much the audience was laughing up until the climax. A hangover from the humorous parts makes this problem bearable, although it does detract from the plot overall. Padmini is a good time and is well worth your time.

The movie has rave reviews but there is nothing in it to substantiate the same. An entertaining first half however, the second half fell flat, especially the ending. It’s not a bad movie but a one time watchable one. Anand Manmadhan was the show stealer. pic.twitter.com/vKHLEql6xZ
