Basil Joseph's 'Kunjiramayanam' shows flashes of a gifted director at its helm, but suffers from some poor storytelling that is more confounding than charming. Crammed together and hobbled by a frail script, all that 'Kunjiramayanam' has on offer are a few fine moments here or there.
Kunjiraman (Vineeth Sreenivasan) has his eyes and heart fixed on his Murapennu, when a sex tape scandal makes his marriage plans go all topsy turvy. The man behind the disaster is none other than his cousin Lalu (Dhyan) and Kunjiraman vows to wreak vengeance. He leaves for the Middle East only to return in style, but realizes that much has changed in Desom ever since he had flown abroad.
It's an intricate canvas that Basil Joseph plots his story on, and it teems with a multitude of characters, bumping into one another, sometimes sounding sane and at other times astonishingly crazy. But they go on with their respective businesses of bawling around almost continually, that makes Desom appear like a madhouse.
'Kunjiramayanam', despite making efforts to keep you entertained, loses out eventually, since the focal points on which it decides to drop anchor on, do not quite hold up. For one, the obsession with a liquor brand that takes up the whole of its first half, starts looking strangely awkward, once the initial interest that it generates has died down.
