Verdict: The out-and-out comedy flick checks all the right boxes. When a lensperson decides to take charge of the movie, there hardly is any fault with its frames.

Kunchacko Boban is one of the finest actors in Malayalam, who has the calibre to play strong and intense characters, and also simple and light characters. Kuttanadan Marpappa showcases him in his light avatar. Playing the female lead, Aditi Ravi does a neat role while Shanthi Krishna pulls off the role of the hero`s mother with ease. Appearing in a pivotal role, Ramesh Pisharody dons his to perfection. An average flick with the taste of Kuttanad, this movie is ideal for those who dont give two hoots about logic or intellect.

Kuttanadan Marpappa has the genuine intent of offering an outright comedy. With a whole lot of artists who are able to handle comedy effectively, the platform was perfectly set for the movie. In fact, some of the comedy numbers, especially that of Dharmajan and the spectacular cameo of Soubin Shahir have worked out pretty well. The characterisations and the backdrop in which the story is set are also impressive. But, something is lost in between the cup and the lip. The fact that the film doesn`t have anything new to offer in regards of the story or screenplay also pulls back the film at portions. Certain cliches which are associated with movies of this genre, also go against the film.

Lensmen Review
Kuttanadan Marpappa belongs to that category of movies which you will sort of laugh inside the theater because of the back to back counter dialogues, but wont last in year head for long or you wont be even interested in narrating the story to someone. I have to say that I laughed a lot for the dialogues in the movie but the amount of female bashing and the too convoluted back and forth drama of the movie sort of makes Kuttanadan Marpappa a watchable one with not much to boast about.
