Cast: Vivekh, Sonia Agarwal, Sheela, Cell Murugan, Mano Bala, Naan Kadavul Rajendran.Direction: M Chandramohan.Genre: Comedy.Duration: 2 hours 21 minutes
Synospis: A lazy, irresponsible man, who quits his job because his wife earns more than him, decides to adopt an old woman as his mother because she offers to pay cash for it. What happens after the woman enters his household?
Review: First things first. If you are the mega-serial-loving type, there is a good chance that you will dig Palakkattu Madhavan. If you are not, then, this is not the film for you. If Santhanam has taken the K Bhagyaraj route to find acclaim as a hero, here, we have Vivekh in a film that is titled after the popular character played by Bhagyaraj (don't ask what the fact that Madhavan is from Palakkad adds to the script) but plays out like something that could have been written by Visu with R Pandiarajan in the lead. If the husband who is irresponsible and jobless reminds you of Kudumbam Oru Kadhambam, an elderly mother abandoned by her children feels straight out of Varavu Nalla Uravu. And the character of Madhavan, a well-meaning guy who often gets into problems, is the kind of character that Pandiarajan played in the 1980s and 90s. At least, this is the kind of movie that Chandramohan seems to be after with Palakkattu Madhavan.
But sadly, the writing is sloppy, the comedy too broad and loud and the filmmaking stodgy that the film doesn't make good on its premise.
