Cast: Kunchacko Boban, Indrajith, Suraj, Joju, Vedhika, Nisha AggarwalDirection: VysakhGenre: Drama
Four cousins embark on a trip where they end up in a palace where the inhabitants still live as kings and queens.
Review: Vysakh's Cousins insults a viewer's intelligence. At first, you wonder if you are witnessing the remake of a Kannada or Telugu masala entertainer; but no it has been made purely for Malayalis. It might seem like the makers first shot some spectacular song sequences in splendid locations with some pretty non-Malayali actresses, hired an entire palace, put together a few random comic sequences and tried to make a movie around it, without success.
It would indeed be painful for fans of Indrajith or Suraj to see their favourite actors in such an amateur comedy. Indrajith, Kunchako, Suraj and Joju embark on a journey back to Kunchacko's college, to revive his lost memory. However, they could very well be friends or classmates as there is nothing in the film that celebrates their bonding as relatives.
During the course of the journey, they come across some long-forgotten past stories involving Kunchacko's forgotten past and end up in a palace near the Kerala-Karnataka border, where the inmates still live in 'Mahabharata' mode, as kings and queens. Vedhika's and Nisha's characters are princesses and they walk around in grand costumes that put Hindi serial costume designers to shame.
