Manjadikkuru (2012) Malayalam Movie Review Aggregator
Anjaly Menon’s directorial debut that has reached the theatres a couple of years late, has created much of an impression in the critics’ minds. Reviews are unanimously positive.
Rediff calls it enchanting: “There is a charm in seeing the life of adults through a child’s eyes, where masks and pretensions crumble and the stark truth is revealed. Director Anjali Menon tries something like that in her film Manjadikuru. It is easy to categorise this as a story of nostalgia or the loss of the verdant world of childhood.”
Nowrunning says this film shouldn’t be missed: “Anjaly Menon’s ‘Manjadikkuru’ is an ode to the inherent innocence that once existed in us. Appealing equally to viewers of all ages, the flight of fancy that she offers to this incredible world that once was, is certainly not to be missed!”
Sify feels its a whiff of fresh air: “Director Anjali Menon’s Manjadikuru (Lucky Red Seeds), which has already received appreciation at various prestigious film festivals, puts the viewer on a nostalgic pedestal. Manjadikuru comes as a whiff of fresh air. Enjoy this fabulous debut of a new talent called Anjali Menon straightaway!”
