Movie Review : Jubilee

Producer: Alex Chacko, Anto Mathew
Director: George G
Cast: Saiju Kurup, Innocent, Jagathy, Manasa, Saikumar
Music: Shyam Dharman

‘Jubilee' is a disappointing fare. There are much debut talents behind the film but they fail to create anything amazing. The film goes with the tagline ‘a family celebration’. A family entertainer as such depends on storytelling, deftness, narration and the realistic feel where the audience can relate to the characters. However the film fails to associate the audience and the characters. The proceedings are such that it makes the viewers feel that they can hardly relate with the film.

Thomas Kora is an aged man in his eighties. He is the head of his family of repute in the middle travancore region. They all live together in the estate bungalow at Perramade. He has five sons and two daughters. His youngest son Joji was born on the fifty sixth birth day of Kora and as he was born after the golden jubilee year of Kora he is known as Jubilee. Kora loves him very much. He is an automobile engineer by profession and is also a specialist in motorcycle races. He takes life as it comes and is not serious about relationships. His friends range from Isho a coffin dealer, Sheikh and Anandhakuttan. Joji doesn’t get along with his self-centered sister in law and his brother Anto, a hen-pecked husband. They want entire possession of the English  bungalow, in which the family stays. Soon it gets tough for everybody to adjust. Joji soon gets rid of his bad habits and becomes a mature youngster looking for better opportunities in life.  He gets a bolt from blue when he is alleged for a murder of a young girl and is detained by Crime Branch. Everyone ditches him after the incidents but it is only his father who stands by him. Can Joji help himself out?

On the first place the story of the film is hackneyed and has many similarities to the many movies of the past. Though it is touted to be a family entertainer, one also gets to watch a bit of love story with unwanted songs and thriller element by the later part. This treatment ruins the effect of the film.

Saiju Kurup plays Joji and though he tries to deliver his best, the absurd plot ruins it all. Innocent as Kora Sayip is okay. Manasa as Angel, doesn’t add much. Other than the characters don’t seem to be moved by the plot making their acting pathetic. Some of the characters in the movie are a total waste.

There are no moments in the film that would make you interested in the proceedings ending as a dull fare.
