Thudarum

Thudarum is here to show that comedy is the best medicine. This Mohanlal, Shobana starrer Malayalam family entertainer has become a box office riot by becoming a 100 crore film, globally in just 1 week. Helmer Tharun Moorthy’s Thudarum is a film filled with humor, heart, and charm by the bucketload. It is that feel-good movie we all need.

But why is this film such a colossal success? Is it Mohanlal’s popular comic timing? With a nostalgic nostalgic re-pairing with Shobana? Or is it simply that we’re also a sucker, collectively, for a good family entertainer?

Directed by Tharun Moorthy and KR Sunil

The man behind the camera, Tharun Moorthy, joins forces with co-writer KR Sunil to craft a script that’s as riotous as it’s warm. Famous for his blend of humor and emotional content, Tharun makes sure Thudarum is not just another slapstick, but a film that connects with families.

Producer: M. Ranjith

M. Ranjith has bankrolled the film and with a strong support, the movie has high production values but at the same time has not compromised on the rawness, which makes Malayalam film-making so unique.

Cinematography: The Vibrant Vision Of Shajikumar

The man behind the camera is Shajikumar who makes sure to every frame is a visual treat. Whether it’s the intimate house scenes or their crazy antics outside, the cinematography contributes a sprightly energy to the movie.

Editing: Nishad Yusuf and Shafeeq V.B.

Music: The Melodic Touch of Jakes Bejoy

What’s a family flick without some toe-tapping tunes? The genius behind tunes are by Jakes Bejoy, he renders a soundtrack that best suits the mood of the film be it a funny scene or an emotional one.

The Stellar Cast

When Mohanlal tries his hand at comedy, you cannot help but feel the magic. From his unforgettable characters in Chithram and Kilukkam to the one in Thudarum now, Lalettan shows us once more why it is him we go to laugh, without having to really try long and hard. He is the heart of this film, his natural charisma and timing is what makes it worth watching.

Shobana returning to Malayalam cinema is always a celebration, and in Thudarum, she does so with her customary grace combined with a liberal streak of slapstick. Her chemistry with Mohanlal is a throwback to their golden ’90s combos.

No comedy would be complete without a cast of wacky side characters, and Thudarum delivers. And the supporting cast supplies layers of humor, ensuring that there’s never a dull moment.

Summary

Thudarum is essentially a dysfunctional (but an endearing) family unit with Mohanlal — the old man of the house (keeda neetu)? Toss in some hilarious misunderstandings and poignant asides and Shobana’s character’s effort to keep the whole thing from unraveling and you’ve got the recipe for entertainment.

Why It Works
