Much of the success stories from Lal Jose came from plots that revolved around picturesque, silent villages. In an attempt to add to this list is his new flick titled ‘Elsamma Enna Aankutty’.
The movie with a curious title features an impressive story by Sindhuraj, and also presents a new face in the title role.
The film is about a beautiful young girl who is forced to act like a boy to take care of her mother and three younger sisters. Elsamma is a cute girl, who works from day to night. Apart from her routine jobs, she also distributes newspapers early in the morning and also works as the local reporter of a daily. The essential day breaker of their high range village junction named ‘Balan Pillai City’, she has a company in Palunni, the local milkman. These two are considered to kick off every day of the residents in Balan Pillai city. Basically a fun film, the movie also has got it’s lengthy list of caricaturish characters ala Lal Jose’s other films.
Debutante Anne Augustine, the daughter of veteran actor August plays the title role of Elsamma. Like his previous introductions like Kavya Madhavan, Jyothirmayi, Samvrutha Sunil, Muktha, Meeranandhan and Archanakavi, Anne is also expected to become a frontline heroine in Mollywood.
Kunchacko Boban who is fresh from his latest two hits is also experimenting on his looks, playing Palunni. Indrajith, the lucky mascot of Lal Jose films plays the other male lead of the movie. The cast of ‘Elsamma Enna Aan Kutty’ also includes Janardhanan, Vijayaraghavan, Jagathy Sreekumar, KPAC Lalitha, Maniyanpillai Raju, Suraj Venjarammoodu, Manikandan and Manikkuttan.
While Vijay Ulaganath is in charge of the camera, Renjan Abraham does the editing. Rajamani for the first time scores the music for a Laljose film. He has set tunes to four songs written by Rafeeq Ahmad. Vijay Yesudas, Swetha, Devanand, Achu Rajamani, Rimi Tomy, Sithara Balakrishnan and Reshmi lend their voices to the beautiful songs of the movie.

I do not agree with the opinion that music is not good. “Paalappoo” is a good song, “onnodonnu” is also a nice song plus “Arikil” sung by Teenu Tellence of Idea Star Singer fame.
Iam so sorry to say that I cannot agree with your opinion about the Music in Thirakadha.
Most of all the songs are excellently composed by Sarreth. Especially Manjuneeril, Paalappo ithalil and Onnodonnu chernnu. A very different style of Music which really suited to all the situations. And even the background music was fantastic.
very good film……..a good start for a new revolution in malayalam cinema
Awesome music by Sharath..Especially Onnodonnu Chernnu is extraordinary..Beautiful composition and a different glavour of songs by Sharath…
i agree as far as movie is concerned ! the movie is a very touching one with excellent performances by all characters ! Renjith is a really good director & often i wonder why he makes rubbish commercial flicks when he is capable of doing such damn good movies . I totally disagree with guruofguru about music of the film ! U cant get any better quality stuff ! The music is has got wide variety but yet is so apt 4 the movie.Hats off to Sarath ! pls guys do watch the movie whenever you get opportunity !
Malayalam film, on a general note ,is still charectrised by too much of face expressions, hand moving and unnecessary dialogues. In short overacting is still a big part n parcel . But, when it comes to Anoop menon’s acting, hes so natural! He is not acting, he is just living in all his films. Every action, dialogues,expressions etc are so well controlled, i feel he is in his normal life, not on that big screen acting his life out. He has his own style which is very refreshing.
