'Vellimoonga' is a humble film that doesn’t aspire for much, but provides a wholesome entertainment. It is the good old conventional Malayalam cinema sans the dreariness. The movie is a feel good entertainer that is sure to appeal to all. The movie carried with it no expectations, but delivers big time. It will have you rolling in laughter and neither is the laughter forced or artificially induced. The humour is genuine. Though clichés abound and the story is predictable, the execution and narration lifts it.
The story revolves around a middle aged politician named Mamachan, played by Biju Menon. This ambling character with his owlish eyes gets a taste of the real significance of the white kadhar through some situations that he has to encounter. These situations actually act as a catalyst for his political and personal growth. When we say growth, it’s not altogether a straight one. All the characters that one encounters in this movie are crooked one way or the other. Mamachan is no exception. But it is his crookedness that endears him to the audience.
Because of this factor the movie does not come across as a didactic one. It does not get irritatingly preachy.
