If ever there have been an ‘exaggeration measurement gadget’ in a film set, it could stay someplace near the utmost in lots of sequences in Jeethu Joseph’s Nunakuzhi. Virtually all the pieces, together with the performances, is loud by two notches above the conventional restrict. But, a lot of it really works nicely for the form of movie it’s.
Nunakuzhi coasts alongside on a collection of lies and mix-ups, one constructed on prime of the earlier. All of it begins with a laptop computer that revenue tax officers seize throughout a raid at an organization. Eby (Basil Joseph), who has reluctantly taken up the corporate’s mantle after his father’s dying, had saved some private movies on the laptop computer. The movies being seen by anybody else is unthinkable for Eby and his spouse (Nikhila Vimal), making him set off on a mission to hint the IT officer (Siddique).
His paths cross with that of Resmitha (Grace Antony), who’s going by a tricky divorce continuing. In the meantime, the lifeless physique of a dentist is mendacity in his clinic, with a lady unintentionally locked up in one of many rooms. In one more parallel observe, an aspiring filmmaker (Althaf Salim) is at a script studying session with a pompous movie star (Manoj Ok Jayan). As is predicted, all these parallel tracks are certain to satisfy in a single gigantic, complicated combine up.

Jeethu Joseph, who has not tried humour shortly, goes for an all-out comedy in Nunakuzhi. KR Krishna Kumar, who had earlier scripted Jeethu’s 12th Manand Kooman, comes up with an evenly-paced screenplay, the place the one-liners maintain coming. A superb a part of it really works because of the fast-paced modifying that retains switching between all of the parallel eventualities and the comedian timing of the performers, be it that of the kids or the veterans. For each joke that doesn’t work, two others do. Even the few thriller components within the story are laced with humour. Krishna Kumar should have had fairly a activity to seamlessly interlink the parallel eventualities with out making it appear overdone.
Basil Joseph, as the person who simply refuses to develop up and lands in pits of his personal making, performs to his strengths, though the efficiency is a tad bit louder than his traditional. An prolonged ‘poison mix-up’ scene with Grace Antony is a riot. Baiju Santosh performs the position of a police officer with a knack to tickle a humorous bone. Though it’s the form of position we’re so used to seeing him in, he manages to convey a component of freshness to the desk together with his trademark fashion of dialogue supply. So does Siddique.
On the entire, Nunakuzhi is a briskly-paced enjoyable experience, which proves that Jeethu Joseph is adept at extra than simply thrillers.
