Jude Anthony Joseph who had
previously directed Om Shanti Oshana comes up with his second film titled Oru
Muthassi Gadha. The presence of Muthassi is not just limited to the title alone
as OMG has the lively presence of Leela amma, a grand mother and infact she is
the backbone of this movie.About the film, its a simple film with a wafer thin
storyline that spread lot of goodness, makes you sad and at the same it has lot
of fun and sentiments involved. The trailer of the movie was conveying the
vanishing of the older generation from the movie scene in terms of characters
and in OMG, there are not many of them justifying the trailer but Leela amma is
enough to fill the void of so many as her acts and screen presence compensate
for the absence of a few more of them.We have a family of Shiby and Jeen along
with their elder daughter and son but in the family, its Sibychan's mother
Leela amma who is ruling the roost. She has anger at the tip of her nose and
makes the life of others in the family a miserable one due to her strictness
and involvement in each and everything that comes up before this family.
Unexpected arrival of Jeen's mother create a different atmosphere at home and
uncover another face of the old woman which is narrated quite well by Jude in
his second film.We find the helplessness of Sibychan many times and the
screenplay conveys them in a funny way. The sentimental presence along with
humour also helped the movie to sustain its life for the entire running time of
one hundred and forty four minutes. The problems especially the isolation that
the older generation gets is treated in a lighter way here with humour and fun.
That helped in enjoying the film to a great extent as the film takes a serious
tone in only limited scenes that too as per the demands of the situation.
Verdict: Editing,camara works are
superb for OMG.all the characters did their part well.jude handles humour
through out the film like his previous film ohm shanthi oshana.
Verdict:OMG is a humours movie
with a simple concept and contains some messages to society.
Rating: 3 out of 5
