Starring Prithviraj Sukumaran and Basil Joseph in the main roles, the movie has already grossed over Rs 90 crore at the worldwide box office, largely due to the overwhelming positive feedback from audiences. This positive response has piqued the interest of many movie enthusiasts.
Prithviraj Sukumaran, known for his diverse roles in the past, has impressed audiences this year with his unique choice of scripts. After starring in the survival drama Aadujeevitham, Prithviraj returned with Guruvayoor Ambalanadayil, a light-hearted entertainer. Due to Prithviraj’s involvement, the film is highly anticipated for its 2024 Malayalam release. The actor received praise for his impeccable comedic timing, with some viewers pointing out that he brought a broad appeal to the film at various moments. A user commented, “Prithvi delivered one of the most authentic performances, making his casting a pivotal aspect of the movie.”
Following the film’s cinema screening, reviewers commended the comedic elements and the lead actors’ performances. Many have noted that the “bromance” between Prithviraj Sukumaran and Basil Joseph in the film enhances its comedic qualities. The family-friendly movie, which marked Prithviraj Sukumaran’s first collaboration with Basil Joseph and director Vipin Das, revolves around a wedding. Vinu Ramachandran, an expatriate worker, struggles to move on from his ex-girlfriend who left him for someone else. However, through an arranged marriage, he becomes betrothed to Anjali and forms a close bond with the grumpy older brother of his benefactor, Anandan. As Vinu returns to his hometown for the wedding, chaos ensues.
