Hi readers,

Shakespeare M.A. Malayalam, from the debutante duo Shaiju-Shaji, is a film with no super heroes, no loud villains and no glamorous heroines. Rather, it is a feel-good comic escapade, featuring a team of comedians from Malayalam cinema coming together in a refreshingly engaging plot that induces continuous laughs with good technical support, background scores and winsome dialogues.

The story of the movie is based on Shakespeare Pavithran (Jayasurya), the award-winning playwright of Jayabharathi Theatres, who has the habit of using real-life characters as the basis of persons in his dramas, especially people around him and those he knows personally. Pavithran is a man who follows the Shakespearean quote “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players” with full spirit.

The story by Rajesh K. Raman is fresh, moving away from the stereotyped fare regularly churned out. Scripted by the director duo Shaiju-Shaji with support from Jiju Ashok, the movie wins us over with its intrinsic humour in the writing and the immensely likeable characters, especially in the first half. But the post-interval portion tends to lag. However, it does not detract from the liveliness of the movie, even though the (predictable) climax holds few surprises.

Jibu Jacob supports the directors with good visuals; Mohan Sithara’s songs merge seamlessly with the situations. Of the songs, the first is melodious and well picturised, while the others don’t impress. Considering that Shakespeare M.A. Malayalam comes from debutante directors Shaiju and Shaji, it is a good effort, one of the movies worth watching this season.
