Mummy & Me

Mummy & Me: A good movie with good message, director Jithu Joseph took a very common subject that happens in mostly all families , between mother and Teenage daughter. The movie drags a little, the attempt of director to describe many of the situations and feelings through songs (Malayalam and English) should be appreciated.

The movie is about a teenage girl Jewel ( Archana Kavi – Neelathamara fame) and her mother Clara (Urvasi), Jewel in her teenage has a feeling that her mother is more strict and unnecessarily involve in her life,in her wishes, etc. Clara represent common mother is more concern about her daughter, since she is in her teenage period Clara fears whether her daughter moves in a wrong direction. The only one person who loves Jewel (as Jewel feels) is her fat her Joseph (Mukesh) who is a bank manager. Most of Joseph’s evenings have to be spending in settling the quarrel between Jewel and Clara. Clara interferes in all the activities of Jewel which Jewel doesn’t like, about her dressing style, late coming home, chatting, etc. Jewel started having a feeling of alone in her life, with nobody who understands her, on the same time Rahul (Kuchako Bobin) who is Jewels best friend son of Lalu Alex who is childhood friend of Joseph. Rahul loves Jewel but doesn’t have courage to tell her. Day by day Jewel’s attitude towards Clara was getting worse, the way of talking, the way of behaviour everything became worse, this made Joseph and Clara very much upset, meantime Jewel got a chatting friend (Asar – voice by Suresh Gopi ) soon Jewel and Asar became very good friends, how Asar started influencing Jewel, what all changes happened in Jewel, will she understands how much her parents love her, will Clara and Joseph able to bring back their daughter, is the rest of the movie. The climax of the movie is good and impressive.

The movie is written and directed by Jithu Joseph, and produced by Joy Thomas Sakthikulangara for Jithin Arts. The music done by Sejo John is good. The actors Archana Kavi as Jewel did a good job, Urvashi (Clara) and Mukesh (Joseph) are good in their roles as usual, Urvasi was quiet different from Achuvinte Amma (similar type subject).Kuchako Boban has very few importance and the role done by him as Rahul is very small that it can be done even by a new comer.

Movie Casts : Kuchako Boban, Urvasi, Archana Kavi, Mukesh, Lalu Alex, Janardhanan, Shari.

A real watchable movie.
