Director Jeethu Joseph’s “Nunakuzhi” is a blend of entertainment and humor. While it’s a comedy, it avoids falling into illogical territory. The film successfully meets its goals, adding well-cast characters to its charm. The audience response has been positive, with many viewers laughing out loud at the perfectly timed jokes.

“Nunakuzhi” weaves three distinct storylines and a chaotic fight sequence into a hilariously engaging adventure. Set over the course of a single day and night, the film follows a couple on the brink of divorce, a managing director of a conglomerate, and a group of three drunken film industry personalities and a civil servant—a drunk actor, producer, writer-director, and the writer-director’s equally inebriated income tax officer uncle—who gather under the guise of discussing films. As the police get involved, the chaos intensifies, bringing these storylines together in a comedic narrative that sets the stage for a potential sequel.

The story starts with an income tax raid on Basil Joseph’s office, part of the empire his father built across multiple industries. Basil, more preoccupied with his love life than the family business, is caught off guard when tax authorities confiscate his personal laptop, which contains compromising footage. Pressured by his wife to retrieve it immediately, Basil embarks on a series of unfortunate and comedic misadventures in his quest to recover the laptop.

Nunakkuzhi Movie Review: Script Analysis

K.R. Krishna Kumar’s script presents the plot with clarity and conviction, making even the most complex storylines easy to follow—so much so that even a child could grasp them. The pacing is expertly aligned with the film’s narrative, sustaining an engaging rhythm that enhances the movie’s tone and structure. Despite juggling multiple plotlines, the script remains captivating and avoids dull moments. While some jokes fall flat, the overall dialogue is effective. The scriptwriter adeptly managed the challenge of adapting the plot, ensuring a seamless narrative flow.

Nunakkuzhi Movie Review: Star Performance

The casting was exemplary, with each actor fitting their role effectively and delivering convincing performances. Basil Joseph, as the endearing goofball CEO, was both lovable and believable, serving as the movie’s heart. His dynamic with Grace Antony, especially in their interrogation scene, added a compelling layer to the film. Nikhila Vimal, playing Basil’s wife, also performed admirably. Grace Antony’s portrayal of a bold character felt authentic, suggesting she could naturally embody such traits. Aju Varghese, as Grace Antony’s husband, had a more minor role but executed it well. Baiju Santhosh, cast as the police officer, delivered his best work to date, demonstrating his potential as an underutilized talent in the industry. Siddique, as always, was convincing, with his portrayal of fear and humorous reactions adding depth to his character. Althaf Salim, as the aspiring writer-director, was also influential in his role.
