A layman notes on "Pinneyum" the movie.

• Actors looking into the camera unknowingly - irritating.
• Actors waiting/pausing for reaction - irritating.
• Kavya as an actor - guaranteed an award.
• Entangled in roles - Wife mother et al - all good.
• Dileep appears to be in a learning mode - average.
• Dileeps sister - shows potential.
• Devi's grownup daughter - acting is so sad.
• Job Interview, Police interrogation - average.
• Story gaps -
• 3 elderly people conspire in a murder including a retired teacher? what are the driving factors ? Am lost.
• hay for burning car - seriously ?
• What the importance of victims kid in second half - perhaps to get Devi's sympathy - hmmm.
• Plastic surgery - its so 80s an idea for 2016.
• Alternate stories perhaps ?
• That boom-boom sound in the background - an irritation.
• Recreates a lot of typical scenes and actions - rain, sound of rain, the busy wife, useless BIL - good.
• Strong dialogues as usual touches the human heart - pains of a gulf employee, jobless husband captured - good.
• Captures the typical observations - including the T-shirt worn by BIL/toys after Dileeps visit from gulf, the usual homes of 80s - good.
• Movie impact - average to low.
• Adoor definitely needs to hire one or more young assistants! We have a potential strong movie, but needs lot of scrubbing & cleaning.
