What works?

Maniyarayile Ashokan is a simple family comedy and hence it instantly connects with audience. Even though film’s le has issues that reflect judgemental society makers have t dug deep into it. Hence film maintains its comic sense. Maniyarayile Ashokan also works because its characters are relatable and surprise cameos d bonus points to story.

film’s director Shamzu Zayba and writers Msh Boji and Vineeth Krishnan have penned and directed a film that sticks to its genre. story also mans to stay engaging to end thus keeping audience hooked. Jacob Gregory has done a phemenal job as le and has delivered a layered performance. Sunny Wayne also provides ample support to Gregory with his comic timing. Anupama Parameshwaran is also decent but does t get a chance to shine through.
