2023 was a bad year for Malayalam cinema. Most of the films released were flops. But 2024 was the year Malayalam cinema made a big comeback. We have seen many back to back hits. Not only that, Manjumal Boyz, the biggest grosser of Malayalam cinema, was also released. After a long time, a clean comedy hit was also born in this year – Premalu. Now another comedy blockbuster is in the making.
Guruvayoor Ambalanadail is a film starring Prithviraj and Basil Joseph in the lead roles. Anaswara Rajan plays a central character in the film. Nikhila Vimal plays another central character. This is a film made with emphasis on comedy. All the comedy moments in the movie are reminiscent of Malayalam movies of the 90s. Everyone made fun of Prithviraj as an actor who can't do humor in general and everyone thought that Prithviraj would be the biggest negative of this movie. But Prithviraj's comedy has all worked out well.
Some people are of the opinion that the second half was not as good as the first half. Similarly, it is said that some did not like the climax and some liked it. The climax of the movie is a bit too long. It is said that Nandanam tried to do it on the model of the movie, it was a workout and it was not a workout.
Anyway, it is said that the making of the movie is comparable to the movies of the 90s. The previous films of the director of this film were Muthugau and Jaya Jaya Jaya Jaya Hai. Therefore, the audience had high hopes for this movie. It must be said that the director kept it.
