I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Synopsis: The story is set in a small village Melukavu in Kerala. A barber Balan (Sreenivasan) is poor with his wife Sredevi (Meena) and three children. He is not able to cope with modernization with a new air condition beauty salon / parlour opened by Sarasan (Jagadish) set up opposite his shop. He does not get license or a loan for the salon. He is in debt and ridiculed by everyone in the village. Life is tough for him ? he does not have money to pay children's school fee, nor knows how he is going to have his next meal for his family. There enters a Malayalam superstar Ashok Raj (Mammotty), who is going to come to the village for a ten day shoot.The whole village is excited in preparing their superstar's arrival. Slowly a word spreads that Balan and Ashok Raj are childhood friends. Balan, who was a laughing stock, becomes the center of attention.

It is one of the best mordern type of malayalam movies. These masterpiece's are very few to see.It manages to capture comedy and sadness. Both. My opinion is that its the best movie of 2007.If you are looking for a light movie this movie is for you. Sreenevasan delivers a superb performance. Best acting i have seen in 2007. My favorite actor now.The other cast performs a superb performance also.Its mainly because of Sreenevasan this movie had the sparkle. No actor could have fit his role better.

This movie came to my attenna when media started showing and talking that Tamil movie superstar Rajnikant is going to make his next movie based on a Malayalam movie. I found out its name – Katha Parayumbhol. Waited for more than 6-7 months, ultimately today I got to see this movie.The story is set in a small village Melukavu in Kerala. A barber Balan (Sreenivasan) is poor with his wife Sredevi (Meena) and three children. He is not able to cope with modernization with a new air condition beauty salon / parlour opened by Sarasan (Jagadish) set up opposite his shop. He does not get license or a loan for the salon.

In the end, Ashok Raj goes to meet Balan at his house, and Balan becomes an overnight hero in the eyes of his village people.Sreenivasan has written and scripted the movie and M.Mohanan has directed it. Sreenivasan has done a fantastic job in presenting common persons life - people's motivation and greeds. He plays about the simple barbar with panache. Mammotty as superstar carries an aura with grace and touches everyone's heart with his last speech. The other characters of the village are also well developed – the bard, the politician, the money lender, the beauraucrat, the modern salon owner, the school principal etc.This is a very funny, poignant story of modernization and its impact on an ordinary person. I love to see good old Malayalam movies with its simplicity and village life. Now those movies are rare and few. I long for them. This movie fits my type of beautiful Malayalam movie that remains with you and touches your heart as no other form of cinema does.I hope Rajnikant draws a lot and builds on top of this movie – especially on the message it communicate with simplicity and honesty.(Stars 7 out of 10)

One of the enjoyments this vacation to Kerala was watching the movie Kadha Parayumbol. While Mammooty and Mukesh play only vignette appearances, the protagonist of the story is 'Balan the barber' played by Sreenivasan, the popular filmmaker and non-glamorous hero of Malayalam screen.The simple tale of a village barber's contention of friendship with the most sought after film star provides the thread for the story, which builds suspense, satire and sentiment to a touching climax.Kadha Parayumbol, a clean film that takes audience through the ebb and flow of tension, without a wee bit if sex or violence, is a challenge to the genre of the so called Malayalam 'formula film'.As storyteller, scriptwriter and lead actor Sreenivasan has proved once again that he has mastered the art of 2-hour storyboarding by fully exploiting the grammar of film language.This film is also Mukesh's maiden production venture in partnership with Sreenivasan.It is the must-see movie of the year 2007. Don't miss it if you can afford to see it at a movie theatre. I dare you; you wouldn't be able to walk out of the theatre without tearful eyes. Tears of joy I mean.Sujit
