Vallatha Pahayan' is all about the travails of Balan (Manikandan), a peon at a government high school, to build a house of his own. Sumitra (Rachana Narayanankutty), his wife, is all supportive and gets tremendously excited at the thought of finally moving from the rented house that they have been living in for long. Balan entrusts the construction of the house to builder Prahladan (Sreekumar), who promises to finish off the job at a rate way below the estimate.

 

The 'Marimayam' magic that had worked so wonderfully well on the small screen, does not however repeat its fete on the big screen as well. The chief reason behind the no-show would be that the film fails to offer us anything new.

 

I should not forget to mention the best thing about 'Vallatha Pahayan' - the title sequences are simply brilliant and comprise of a few highly imaginative and creative works of art by kids who had taken part in a competition for the same. If only all that inventiveness had spilled over to the film, would 'Vallatha Pahayan' been an appealing film.
