Hello there.... It's a different movie. Thank god! There are some people who really wanna make these kind of hatke movies. Ppl like me have got damn bored seeing the same old stuff movies. Manoj is a hero who gives a damn for formula movies. And lakshmi is totally superb because of the daring steps she takes.
In our films, "socio-fantasy" only means ancient weapons. And, of course, heavier designer sarees and sherwanis all around.
Oo Kodathara Ulikki Padathara, the latest handiwork of the Manchu siblings (Lakshmi Prasanna and Manoj don't just act in UKUP - the former produced the film, and the latter is credited with having directed the stunts), has one foot in convention and one in novelty. The result is, understandably, clumsy. And a lot like the first bite of a plate of dry upma made with not enough ghee - you don't quite know what to make of it.
