Overview - Subjects of astrology, horoscope and it's results are uncommon points in entertainment world. We know there were a lot of movies identified with this point. Maniyarayile Ashokan is an expansion to this classification. The film stars Gregory, Shine Tom, Krishna Shankar and Anupama Parameshwaran in important roles. Dulquer Salman and Gregory had produced this film under the banner of Wayfarer Productions. Due to the theater shutdown because of pandemic, Maniyarayile Ashokan premired legitimately on Netflix.
Ashokan (Jacob Gregory) is a working class Malayali youngster who is exceptionally shaky about his stature. Regardless of being a government representative, he battles to locate the correct life accomplice because of his looks and tricky horoscope. After a bombed proposition to be engaged, Ashokan meets Shyama (Anupama Parameshwaran), who has been covertly infatuated with him this while and succumbs to her. But the horoscope makes inconvenience for him by and by. How Ashokan settle his issues and settles down with the young lady he had always wanted. What occurs next structures the core of the story.
Shamzu Zayn's and writers have prevailing in regard to weaving a truly captivating account with the perfect measure of humor and shrewd arrangements of tunes. The film falls into a moderate pace at specific focuses, yet that doesn't generally influence the diversion factor. The jokes and shock components are taken care of successfully and introduced well. The convictions, and ceremonies in regards to the relationships in Kerala are described with supreme straightforwardness, and this makes Maniyarayile Ashokan a fun watch.
Directly after the primary shot, 'Unnimaya' sung by Dulquer is available. Along these lines, a progression of songs follow and one may feel like the melodic first half could be a bit repetitive to watch. However, the songs appear to be satisfying to the ear. Sreehari, the music composer has put the tunes in a forthright way. Notwithstanding, handling the moderate screenplay in the main a large portion of, the melodies appear to be somewhat over the edge. Despite the fact that, the background scores function admirably, particularly while displaying the excellence of Kerala beauty.
Jacob Gregory, who plays Ashokan, captures everyone's attention with his unpretentious yet developed exhibition. The man has depicted the inward disturbance of his character with outright flawlessness. We wish to see him in more creator upheld jobs this way. Krishna Shankar conveys not a too bad execution as Ashokan's closest companion Ratheesh. Dulquer Salmaan is at his beguiling best in his appearance as Ashokan's cherished companion Arjun.
Final Word - Maniyarayile Ashokan is definitely not a terrible film, however it neglects to give a full fulfilling yield to the watchers. There are acceptable minutes, acceptable tunes and great visuals, in any case, the humor is missing seriously.
A One-time Watchable Feel Good Movie!
