Kalyan Ram is back with another action entertainer in 2020, and although it's a remake, the film is very impressively executed and is highly entertaining.
Entha Manchivaadavuraa is one of the best movies of the year for me already, and it works due to delivering everything from acting to action to emotion very well.
The story is interesting and there are several feel-good moments too. The film is neatly done, and the music too is impressive. Visuals are another treat as the film captures some really exotic locales with finesse. Action sequences are outstanding and perfectly delivered. Performance wise, it's another great one from Kalyan Ram, and it's finally good to see Mehreen in a role that at least doesn't just add to the length. All actors are surprisingly impressive, and that pulled me into the film till the very end.
However, the only thing one might find dated is that it repeats the Kalyan Ram Kathi (2010) formula at times. As the title suggests, it's another solid action film starring Kalyan Ram about family, albeit with plenty of gore.
Entha Manchivaadavuraa has lots of action, but it's not too gory although some violence can get intense for younger viewers. That being said, if you have seen Kalyan Ram Kathi, you already know a couple of surprises.
Nevertheless, it's a good... feel-good family entertainer for anyone who likes action dramas. This film is really touching, and the fact that it was not a commercial success is rather disappointing. Go, watch it. It's available on Hotstar with subtitles.
