Malayalee from India

“Just like his previous outing Jana Gana Mana, Dijo Jose Antony hooks the audience with melodramatic sequences to deliver a timely message wrapped in humour and entertainment.”

“An earnest satire that loses the plot with too much stuffed in.”

“Despite its earnest intentions, 'Malayalee From India' falls short of realizing its full potential. The film's disjointed script and overstretched duration dampen its impact and engagement. While Nivin Pauly shines with his charismatic portrayal, the overall narrative structure feels disjointed due to the attempt to balance multiple themes and genres.”

“A well intentioned film which falters from the onset”

“...a film that is on point with its political commentary. But, the shallow writing in the screenplay makes it a middling film.”

“Dijo Jose Antony's Nivin Pauly-starrer Malayalee From India is loud, irritating and underwhelming and serves as a reality check for Malayalees amidst the recent flurry of successful films. The film is marred by subpar writing that fails to resonate with viewers, let alone provoke reflection, with disjointed moments that fail to coalesce into a cohesive narrative.”

“An overtly loud political statement that is saved by an in-form Nivin Pauly's performance.”

“For, other than the strength of the politics that they attempt to convey and Nivin Pauly's screen presence, there is not much that can hold this film together convincingly.”

“Malayalee From India is disappointing and is not the comeback that the talented Nivin Pauly deserves. Though Nivin Pauly performs with all his heart, it's not enough to save the film, as the script is poorly written and the execution is below average.”
