Freshness pervades the entire movie, Oru Vadakkan selfie. A bunch of young actors and technicians giving of their best. That is what makes you very happy. Fast paced, naturally funny and yet has a very good message.
The story can happen anywhere and the same plight can be anybody's. That's yet again why people relate to it. Vineeth's script is the key to its success. More importantly, the excellent performances of most of the artistes, its music and cinematography by Jomon.
In every department of the film, what stands out is the freshness of approach. It's a breezy comedy that gathers seriousness as it progresses. Yet the characters are not morbidly pessimistic and give you reasons to expect the unexpected. The director has taken his job seriously and the team has risen to the occasion.
This is not to say that there are no flaws. Yes, the ending does not match the quality of the movie taken as a whole and there are loose ends but not so loose that you take the memory home. All is forgiven for the nearly three hours of sane entertainment.
Manjima is an actress to look out for. Subtle emotions that rock the soul of the character she plays come out successfully. Nivin Pauly, Aju Varghese, the boy with curly hair and Vijayaraghavan act very well. There is sincerity in their work. A movie with a message for the young, not so young, the old, and most of all, crazy netizons. But wait...why vadakkan selfie? Don't know!!
