That said, throughout the movie we won't be able to see that usual curve in the plot. There is not much happening in this part of the movie. The first half of the film is used for this. Althaf has taken pains to flesh out each characters well. The chips munching youth who doesn't have much of an idea about what he wants in life, his run ins with his sisters - which instead of him dictating them, is more of a democratic one, his relation with his father and mother are all interestingly moulded. However repetitious, such roles suit him. The absence of flashy things is a huge plus. The family drama makes one think fo Nivin's 'Jacobinte Swargarajaym', though this one is more closer to life and Nivin has no heroic avatar whatsoever. An unexpected breast cancer scare has Sheela calling home her son Kurian from London. As the movie rolls, we are taken to Chacko (Lal) and Sheela's (Shantikrishna) life.
An upper middle class family with all its conventions as well as freedom, the story is all about how the family deals with a crisis situation. The plot centers around Kurian's (Nivin Pauly) family. 'Njandukalude Naattil Oridavela' is a slice of life told engagingly. What is refreshing is the exclusion of over the top heroism and staid comic elements. Director Althaf and team has managed a real life tale exceedingly well. The very familiarity is what sets 'Njandukalude Naattil Oridavela' on a platform that is warmer and and close to heart. they are all regular people that one comes across in real life. A clueless youth, sisters galore, a close knot family.
