Vineeth Kumar's directorial debut 'Ayaal Njanalla' splendidly balances humour and pathos and presents before us an imaginative film, incited out of a brilliant thought. Delightfully fulfilling, 'Ayaal Njanalla' makes for a decent weekend watch.
Prakashan (Fahadh Faasil) works an assistant to his uncle (T G Ravi) who runs a decrepit tyre shop at Kutch. Having moved to Gujarat years back, Prakashan nurtures a dream of marrying Esha (Mrudula Murali) and of paying off his uncle's debts. Hoping to sell off his ancestral property in Kerala, Parakshan heads to Bangalore to meet an old school mate Arun (Jins Bhaskar), where he is mistaken for a celebrity!
Director Ranjith's tale is as bizarre as it gets, and this weirdness has a charm to it that instantly appeals. Vineeth, who has also penned the script retains this appeal to the hilt, and keeps it going with just about the right amount of frolic and fun. There is the question of believability which comes to play in a story as this, and it could be easy perhaps to take sides and allege that things simply don't work out the way it is implied in the film. But the slight element of probability that is left behind, makes this film an enjoyable one and one that would certainly keep you bemused.
