Many Happy Returns, Laletta!

‘Perinoru Makan’ that has been directed by Vinu Anand stars Bhagath Manuel and Saranya Mohan in the lead roles, along with Innocent, Tini Tom and Suraj Venjarammoodu in supporting roles. The film that has been released last Friday has been termed disappointing by critics.

Nowrunning feels it should have released years back: “Times are changing, and so are films. But unfortunately, films that remain oblivious of these winds of change continue to be made. ‘Perinoru Makan’ is one such film that deserved to be in the theatres a good ten years back.”

Rediff says the film is just indifferent: “With the advent of the so-called new age cinema where filmmakers are trying to tell stories of mostly urban individuals in innovative ways, the old stories of joint families in rural areas have taken a back-seat. Director Vinu Anand tries to fill this vacuum with his new film Perinoru Makan, with Innocent as the main lead. The question is, is there a market for such films today?”
