Plot
Prince and Family has the story of Prince Chakkalakkal, the eldest of his family, who is an introverted boutique owner. Picked up in a small rural city in Kerala, they are considered the most qualified graduates, but they cannot find “a” for them.
As the man tries to balance his happiness and family expectations, the film focuses on her that discovers love.
Good
The Prince and Family is recently a better film among Doods, with Dilip’s lead role. The film in collaboration with humor and drama provides a stereotypeical template of a slice-off-life drama.
As the film manages to maintain integrity in terms of balanced in humor and anarchy, the film keeps catching its way most of the time.
In the context of acting, artists such as Dilip, Siddiq, Bindu Panikar, and even Dhyan Srinivasan managed to have their charm, while it could be allowed down by writing on all.
From a technical point of view, the film does not manage to click with a fresh tone, but the music by Sanal Dev with some melodious compositions is commendable.
bad
Prince and family have been the best label as a cinematic venture, with the aim of grabbing “average” cash. The film, which marks Dileep’s 150th cinematic venture since its debut, depends a lot on the emotional value of the actor among the audience.
With the title card, the film tries to remind the audience who is the actor and how relevant it is to the pop culture of Malayalam cinema. Although it is undisputed that there is an irreparable part of cinema among the actor Malayalis, it reaches a saturation point where one should feel, enough enough.
In addition to amateur efforts to trigger nostalgia spunfeding and the audience’s connection to the actor, the film fails to become a comedy drama from its writing.
While Jan Gana Mana said that as a writer, Sharis Mohammed was expected to create some fear, many would forget that the characters are not being played by Prithviraj Sukumaran or Suraj Venjaramudu.
The disability of the characters to pull the dialogue can die the audience at a point where it is difficult to sit without a deep sigh.
What is the story of prince and family sheep -bakers, in real life there is unnecessary whiteness of the image of the main lead. The conversation between Prince and a friend during a special scene feels like an informal PR strategy for the actor.
It is often claimed as a victim of “Media Trial” as his fans, character and film as an accident course for the audience who was Dileep who was in previous years.
Display
Talking about the demonstrations shown by the actors, Dileep manages to play a solid role. However, there are points where someone feels that the actor has lost his natural attraction, for which he was once famous.
On the other hand, meditation and Siddiq manage to hold well, Bindu Panikar is a savings grace with his humor.
