Movie Review : Ee Pattanathil Bootham (2009)

Producer: S. Benchamin
Director: Johny Antony
Cast: Mammootty, Kavya Madhavan, Innocent, Janardhanan, Rajan P Dev, Salim Kumar, Suraaj Venjaramoodu
Music: Shaan

A tale that could have been better, the story is set on the backdrop of a circus that is being run by Krishnettan (Innocent). He picks up an orphan Jimmy (Mammootty) and soon he along with another lad Sisupalan (suraj) become the dare devil bikers of the troupe. The story takes a turn when Jimmy rescues few other street children like him from the clutches of the beggar mafia and they join him in the circus troupe. Soon they make progress and also join the big Jumbo circus troupe.  However, Jimmy is framed into a case and arrested by the police and he is sent jail. Just when the children are worried where they would go, a ghost arrives (Mammootty) and he begins to help the kids and also fights the villains. There is also Ancy (kavya) who happens to be the love interest of Jimmy and the daughter of the owner of Jumbo Circus. Whether Jimmy comes out of jail and what happens after that forms the rest of the story.

The director has attempted to come up with a light hearted treat but then the narrative also ended up becoming light. The presentation was somewhat above average with good graphics, the dialogues were plain, the script was standard and the screenplay was just suitable. Music could not do much except for one number and the cinematography was good. Editing was a bit unstable at few points. Mammoottty carried out his role with elegance as Jimmy but then he should have worked on his voice for the ghost character. Kavya is looking lusciously beautiful and the real show stealer was Suraj with his comedy. Jagathy was regular, Innocent was neat. The others made their presence felt in their own way.

The film could have been a lot better if the makers had focused on the content part of it and gave it more twists. While the first half goes about with the elements of comedy and action, the second half also runs somewhat on similar lines but then it fails to engage the audience. This was meant to be a treat for the kids and there is sufficient graphical work involved in it. Though the hype has been high, the film was not that captivating to make it a super hit, it might just scrape if there is a positive word of mouth.
