Wolf.17 Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Malayalam cinema’s depiction of the uproarious chaos that could erupt during weddings has often been tear-inducingly funny. While Aniyan Bava Chetan Bava (1995) and Upacharapoorvam Gunda Jayan (2022) confined such moments to their respective climaxes, Thinkalazhcha Nishchayam (2021) showed that an entire movie could revolve around such mayhem. Yet, all of them managed to succeed in this endeavour, primarily because of their relatability. We too must have encountered such weddings wherein things are evidently going out of hand and are just minutes away from turning into a brawl. A similar chaos forms the foundation of director Vipin Das’ Guruvayoorambala Nadayil and the film also serves as a good example of what a maker can create when they have absolute control over their work, not attempting to bite off more than the movie can chew. A marriage, especially in India, is often regarded as the union of two families. In many cases, those who are actually getting married have little to no role in the arrangements or the function, besides the registration, rituals and photo sessions. The wedding of Vinu Ramachandran (Basil Joseph) and Anjali (Anaswara Rajan) also reaches such an impasse when all those around them split into two groups: one in favour and the other against the function happening, owing to individual reasons, with the couple’s wishes almost disregarded.
