Lisammayude Veedu Review|

Lisammayude Veedu bristles with hope, just like the title character played with aplomb by Meera Jasmine, who is back to Malayalam after a brief hiatus. The Babu Janardhan directed sequel to the critically acclaimed, 'Achanurangatha Veedu (2006)', is not a dark tale but is one which ends by giving the hope that it is never too late to mend, or that life always gives you a second chance.
Lisammayude Veedu is a poignant portrayal of the life of a serial rape victim, who resiliently fights back to get her mangled life back on rails. Babu Janardhan, has almost ticked all the boxes in his endeavor vis a vis the topicality and the honesty of the plot. And it would have ended up as a very good movie, had a bit more attention been given to the latter parts of the second half, when the plot loses steam and tends to become somewhat jaded and predictable.
Samuel (Salim Kumar) has lost his touch with realm of normalcy, after having endured the worst form of transgression into his sense of self respect, in which he was reduced to a mute spectator when the life and honour of his youngest daughter and in extension his entire family were trampled upon by a group of bestial elements. More than the actual traumatic experience, the sham that followed in the guise of a fair trial, when he and his daughter were forced to endure the worst, by not just the Police but also by the voyeuristic public, who celebrate sex scandals with vigour.
