Watch Chettayees For Free

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

Suresh Krishna steals the limelight in this movie with the only laughable parts centered on him. Lal is good, but overacts when he gets stoned. Biju Menon is more like a serious character with blatant relationship issues & that is what becomes the base of the movie. The story is great, inventive & experimental and the movie would have been better had the two newcomers not acted & showed how they CAN'T act at all and a more careful plot.The screenplay & editing has to be appreciated here. But the cheapness filled in the dialogs, songs & certain characters spoils the whole broth which is enjoyable till it hits the interval. After that, the melodrama unfolds and the movie ends particularly noting a possible sequel.BOTTOM LINE: A jolly good entertainer but let me remind you, the base & dialogs are tad adult so you might not want to watch this before a family. Otherwise, Chettayees is a one-time watchable movie with your teenage/like-minded friends.Can be watched with a typical Indian family?
