Bro Daddy is a simple story narrated well with a mild humour in it. It is definitely not an out and out comedy entertainer, but a fun film.
The film is not a one man show but relies itself on shoulders of each cast member involved. Mohanlal, Lalu Alex, Prithvi, Kalyani, Meena and Kaniha has done their own roles really well.
What makes it a better treat is the return of Mohanlal the actor and his facial expressions. Post "Odiyan".. films like Ittymani, Big brother, Marakkar were complete disappointments when it comes to acting for Mohanlal. This film however shows the better parts of him. The energetic mohanlal that entertained the industry for decades can be seen here.
Prithvi , however still limps in his comic acting- he was never a natural in comedy, and still struggles- although much better than his previous roles. However, none of these minor issues seems to have a problem on movie narration. Thanks to a well planned plot line.
Whats Bad-
Prithvi the actor, a few comic scenes.
Whats good-
Prithvi the director, rich frames,
Mohanlal, Lalu Alex, Kalyani Priyadarshan, Mallika.
Prithviraj as an actor may have his ups and downs but for sure, Prithviraj as a director is climbing up- steadily. Not a bit felt forced or boring.
Hoping to see more and looking forward for Empuraan.
