Da thadiya Malayalam Movie Review and Box Office Collection Report

                              Aashiq Abu has scored a hatrick with 'Da Thadiya' following the success of '22 Female Kottayam' and 'Salt N Pepper'. Aashiq Abu strikes again with a unique themed movie that shares positive feelings with the audience.                      'Da Thadiya' explores the life of Luka (Sekhar Menon), an obese youth weighing 120 kg. The film tells the love story of Luka and his childhood friend Ann Mary Thadikkaran (Ann Augustine).
                     The movie is an excellent watch if you go without much expectations and if you forget the fact that it is Aashiq Abu movie. Salt N Pepper was a long way better than this movie in realism. Da Thadiya will entertain you and with some good positive message and a good climax, the movie will leave a happy feeling inside the viewer.
                     Casting of the movie has been done perfectly by Aashiq Abu. Sekhar Menon in title has done a decent job though this is his first film. Sekhar Menin is perfect for the role of Luka. Apart from playing the character of a supportive brother, Sreenath Bhasi also is the narrator of the movie who utters some of the best lines in the movie in kochi slang. Ann Augustine did well in romantic scenes. Nivin Pauly, Maniyan Pilla Raju, and Edavela Babu has come up with superb performances. The way Nivin Pauly was introduced and built up as 'Rahul Vaidyar' was terrific. 
             Script of the movie is simple,entertaining but it is bit dragging at times and seemed to be half-baked. 'Da Thadiya' has an interesting first half whereas the second half is a bit dragging. Cinematography and Editing by Shuju Kahlid were appreciable. Songs by Bijibal has already become favorites via social medias.
              Aashiq Abu once again proved his caliber in direction. Of course, "Da Thadiya' is a good watch among the christmas releases.
