For instance, the scene in which Padmini tracks down her husband has hardly any solid interaction between the two and one can’t help but wonder ‘Is that all?’ At least one dialogue of substance could have strengthened the scene. The screenplay is engaging in parts, but hits a roadblock on several occasions. The story, nevertheless, fails to convince. Manju too impresses with her comic liners and ‘naughty-silly’ village belle acts. She takes giant strides from her previous flick Chirakodinja Kinavukal, as Rani is a markedly different character. Nevertheless, the show belongs to Rima Kallingal, who has delivered a knockout performance as a non-clichéd heroine. There are many engaging, humorous moments shown through the interactions of the lead actors and supporting cast, especially Soubin and Dileesh. The journey turns to be an eye-opener for Padmini and expands her personal horizons.įrom the regular terrain to the snow-draped mountains depicted in the movie, the visual impact that Rani Padmini leaves is mesmeric and painting-like. Midway, she befriends a tomboyish Rani (Rima Kallingal), who is fleeing from a gang of goons. A bewildered Padmini decides to follow him to the Himalayas to learn the reasons. Padmini’s (Manju Warrier) husband Giri (Jino Jacob), a racing-aficionado, goes for a car rally after signing a joint divorce petition and suggesting it through his mother, out of the blue. The film is an attempt to put this message across convincingly and does he succeed at that? Director Aashiq Abu, who portrayed the powers of a simple girl whose anger was stoked through his renowned movie 22 Female Kottayam, warns Malayali women against the glorified ‘docile personalities’ that they are expected to live up to, since childhood.
#MALAYAM MOVIE RANI PADMINI HOW TO#
Review: Most Malayali women grow up getting instructed on how to be an ‘ adakkavum othukkavum ulla pennu’ (disciplined and obedient girl). Not withstanding mismatched personalities, they develop an interesting bond on the road. Her path crosses with that of a daredevil Rani, who is escaping from a pack of goons. Story: A psychotherapist-turned-homemaker Padmini is pursuing her estranged husband, who is in the Himalayas, participating in a car rally.
