Anju Sundarikal Malayalam Movie Box Office Collection Report

     An experimental project like 'Kerala Cafe' which consists of 5 love stories each directed by directors Amal Neerad, Anwar Rasheed, Aashiq Abu, Sameer Thahir, Shyju khaled. Each short film is of length 30 minutes. Dulquer Salmaan and Reenu Mathews are the lead pair in Amal Neerad's short film 'Kullante Bharya', Biju Menon and Kavya Madhavan are the lead pair in Aashiq Abu's 'Gowry', Sameer Thahir's 'Esha' has Nivin Pauly and Isha Sharvani as the lead, Honey Rose is casted opposite Fahadh faasil in Anwar Rasheed's 'Aamy' and cinematographer Shyju Khalid makes his directional debut with 'Sethulakshmi' starring two child artists. Other supporting actors includes Jayasurya, Asmitha Sood, Somasundaram, Tini tom etc. The film is lead by Amal Neerad and is produced by Amal Neerad Productions. The release of the movie is delayed to June 21 due to some technical issues.
        It's quite natural that when 5 directors are set to do a movie together, no compromise will be tolerated in the technical section and Anju Sundarikal must be lauded for it's technical brilliance. Among five stories which revolves around five women, only Aashiq Abu's 'Gowry' disappointed me. Gowry has got a weak plot and our patience will be tested on the way. Anwar Rasheed's 'Aamy', Amal Neerad's 'Kullante Bharya', Shyju Khalid's 'Sethulakshmi', Sameer Thahir's 'Esha' - it is in this order that I rate each short films.       
        Directed by Anwar Rasheed and captured by Amal Neerad, 'Aamy' showcases another superb act by Fahad faasil. Fahad plays the role of a travelling businessman and Asmitha Sood plays the role of his affectionate wife. 'Kullante Bharya' is so far the best output from Amal Neerad. The cinematography is done by his assistant Randive. Dulquer Salmaan is entitled with role of the narrator who is an ex-stunts man. Unni R should be given the credit for his great script. Shyju Khalid's 'Sethulakshmi' will throughout put a smile on your face which depicts the innocent friendship of two kids and will strike you at the end. Anika and Chethan must be appreciated for their outstanding performance. Cinematographer Shyju Khalid makes a brilliant directional debut. Sameer Thahir's 'Esha' is about a burglar (Nivin Pauly) and is an entertaining part of Anju Sundarikal which has got some unexpected twists. Isha Sharwani is Esha and is likable with her lively act. Aashiq Abu's 'Gowry' tells the story of a long waiting wife (Kavya Madhavan) for her wildlife photographer husband (Biju Menon).
