Sound Thoma Review|

It's not that I had huge hopes pinned on 'Sound Thoma' or that I thought it would be some revolutionary character that would restructure the story telling format in Malayalam films. Yet, 'Sound Thoma' left with me with ample disappointment, what with the concept that is far from interesting and the narrative that very soon runs off rails.
Thoma (Dileep), is the youngest of Poulose's (Sai Kumar) three sons, and is ridiculed by all for his cleft lip and the accompanying lisp. He is in love with a lovely lass by the name of Lekshmi (Namitha Pramod), who is least impressed by his techniques to woo her. Thoma's brothers Mathew (Mukesh) and Joy (Shiju) are thrown out of the house by Poulose for marrying against his whims, and the greedy old man has his hopes pinned on Thoma to reclaim the family honor which he believes has been squashed into the mud by his elder sons
Vyshakh's 'Sound Thoma', falls into a category of films that are euphemistically called 'crowd pullers', suggesting that they have the potential to draw in the crowds, with the kind of colors and action that they showcase, but also that they run infinitely short, when it comes to the story that they choose to narrate.
Benny P Nayarambalam and the script that he pens for Thoma, tires you totally, with its predictability that gives even obviousness a bad name. I mean,
