 Bavuttiyude Namathil is the story of Bavooty (Mammootty) who is full time driver, care-taker and a part time actor. Sethu (Shankar Ramakrishnan) & Vanaja (Kavya Madhavan) plays the couple for whom Bavooty is working for. Mariam (Kaniha) is their servant & Rima Kallingal as Noorjahan dons the role of a tuition teacher. 

                       After a long wait, Mammootty-Ranjith team is back with another simple, refreshing, socially relevant themed movie. Thus Mammootty's wait for a clean hit has come true in 2012 itself.

                       Mammootty has appeared in the movie without any heroism and the real heroism of the movie lies within Ranjith. Bavuttiyude Namathil has kinda simple and cliched script. First half of the movie has many situations which will make us laugh especially one-liners. Second half is where the story begins with serious, dramatic and even some emotional sequences and of course the climax is also executed well by Ranjith. 

                        Coming to the cast performances, Mammootty has performed well with unmatched comedy timings and flawless dialogue delivery in Malabar slang. Supporting female actresses especially kavya Madhavan has done a good job. Shankar has got a good role after Ranjith's 'Spirit'. Vineeth has got a strong role to do in BN.

                         GS Vijayan's direction was good without much faults. The songs in the movie suited best with the movie, also the visualizations are worth mentioning. 

 

                        Overall the movie is a good watch for this Christmas. Taking movies of Ranjith like Pranjiyettan as benchmark, Bavuttiyude Namathil is an Above average movie. Bavuttiyude namthil will be one among the best movies released in 2012.
