Between these two gender-imbalanced homes and “abnormal” families lies Malayalam filmmaker Madhu C. Narayanan’s debut feature Kumbalangi Nights, which has acquired a strong fan base and cult success, even in Mumbai, in the times of the unstoppable Gully Boy.
Namrata Joshi on The Hindu In fact, these traditional roles appear changed when the house that really needs help is that of the four men - played by all four actors in ways that could put a knot in your heart. And help comes in the form of women – a widow, a foreigner and a really young girl in love. Sushin Syam paints the screen with his music when you try to swallow this beautiful little thought, and think helplessly of love and what it can do to people.
Cris on The News Minute In keeping with the spirit of the film, there are no insignificant characters. Even the ones who appear for just a moment linger in your mind, like the mother, who makes her presence felt through her sons. Soubin Shahir stands tall among the performers, bringing a lot of warmth and pathos to his role. Fahadh, who had begun to repeat himself in his recent roles, breaks out of the mould here, with a cold smile that can send chills down your spine.
